One thing to note is that hypercasual can reach a much wider audience than traditional gaming genres; it isn't male dominated and isn't exclusive to younger (15-30) demographics. This, tied with increased accessibility thanks to its f2p nature and simplified game loops, is most likely what lead to its recent surge in popularity.

Having said that, it does seem to be slowing down some-what.
The point he makes is that OKRs (alone) aren't going to save you. The same way any technology or trend (Scrum, Docker, latest JS library...) isn't going to fix your problems. You must change your process/culture along with it.

Could be, yes. Although I'm always struck how the French are just unknowledgeable of huge swathes of the english-speaking internet (me included, sometimes). Because it is english-speaking, for that matter.

Yes, make it as easy as possible for the random worker who is reviewing your case to approve a positive resolution. It's unclear if you sent several mails but the last one where you simply attach screenshots of your discussion with the manufacturer requires too much "effort" from the worker to understand the context.

You should include the screenshots as documentation but you should clearly summarize the steps you are taking to address whatever concerns they have. It's tedious and stressful but should make it easier for your case to be resolved.

Good luck.
To my knowledge, econophysics - despite the strong marketing effort - has yet to produce new insights into the actual economy (and it has been going on since the at least twenty years).

Has econo-anything produced new insights into the economy over the last twenty years? I'm not an economics professor, so I'm not totally emerged in the literature, but it doesn't seem to be the case from my vantage point.

Yes there is. A dollar is a dollar every time, but it is very different to spend two hours a week playing a game while commuting, for example, and spending those same two hours playing the game when you wake up and being late for work because of that (or replacing any other activity).

Borders were certainly not the only factor. As car development became more expensive, only bigger players had the capital to do it. But different national regulations (eg in France head lights had to be yellow instead of white) and tariffs played a role.
Hypercasual games don't monetize through in-app purchases, but through advertisements (interstitial, banner, and rewarded video ads). A hyper-casual game is only profitable if it can retain a player for an extended period of time.

So, there isn't a psychology behind people spending money in these games as most people aren't spending any money at all. That's one of the reasons why the genre is so popular.
Same as with any addictive thing, you can use and you can abuse. And the change isn't instant.

You can play MMO socially in a guild, or you can simply grind max levels / rare items endlessly.

You can play an IAP and ad-riddled mobile game to kill some time when waiting in queues, or you can have it become a part of your life checking the game everytime you have a minute of downtime.

And the transitions between those states happen impreceptibly, and there is no defined line beyond which you may consider the activity harmful.

Don't apply for leadership positions.

The entry point into startups is part time advisory roles.

Mail the CEO/CTO directly and talk about your experience and that you are looking for a part time advisrory gig.

Whether it's 4 hours a week or 20 hours a week (to work on a specific problem). Focus purely on the problem and make a serious contribution to solution. Don't blame anyone or expect anyone other than yourself to own it. Avoid giving people lectures on how things worked in thousand man orgs (the time for that will come later). Just get the problem fixed. Once you do this you are in. They will automatically pull you in and expand your roles and responsibilities over time.

Key is to get your foot in the door and make things happen for them.

Like you point out, it's maddening people are missing this all over. This isn't for vegetarians to eat something like meat again, it's for meat eaters to carry on not giving a shit about what they eat.

And it can't be cheaper than a real meat burger, because consumers will kill its adoption by calling it the "cheap" product. Regardless of merit or quality.
That's not fundamentally ethical at scale, it's a systems problem. "Do the least damage" is the interim fix while the industry decarbonizes.

The author is painting doomsday all over Evernote, but honestly I don't see it. They are like Dropbox, they do one thing and do it very good IMHO.

I've been a subscriber for 2 years and use it daily on desktop and Android without complaints or data loss.

If there is be a thing to complain about it's their api. It's rather quite annoying to work with and some of the language SDK's are outdated.
Yeah it is insane. Trying to approach these appeals like you are talking to a regular person just results in failure. A whole industry has popped up around writing Amazon appeals.

It is silly, the whole process encourages you to wildly over promise in your plan, a reasonable set of steps to solve the problem likely won't get you anywhere. Even have to admit to and propose a fix to problems that were never there to fix their check boxes.

There is also a wall between account managers and the seller performance teams, we have had account mangers pushing to get our account back on and not being able to help.

OP- There is a lot of information online so just continue to research and work out exactly what they are looking for, what their check boxes look like, and then write something that hits them all. On the positive side it is rare a final determination from them is actually final and they will generally still look at things after the deadlines they have set.

US/Canada is a net oil exporter now, so their power is pretty limited in an embargo style situation.

Also, unlike the 1970s Saudi now has a much larger and ridiculously fast growing population - growing anywhere between 2 and 6% per annum since the 1980s. There is an enormous welfare state with very few taxes collected (on the basis the oil wealth pays for everything), but with a population growing so fast it is stretching the budget.

This means KSAs power to hold prices low actually probably hurts them more than the US now - the social contract in KSA is that the government looks after you, and if you suddenly stop getting healthcare/housing etc because of a OPEC/US oil, it will start destabilising the country which obviously the royal family as terrified of.

There is no way of traversing hash collisions. It would be the hash of some string of cryptocurrency jarble that also happens to be the hash of some encoding of the libgen database and you would have no way of knowing this unless you specifically hashed all of libgen. In this case you know all of libgen already anyway, unless you forgot the information that you hashed.

I did the other way round. Intentionally went to a company which paid me 30% less, but I'm unionized and have a job security until pension (it's a gov organization). I'm in the early 40's with a record of senior developer and PM roles in FAANG companies, but started to feel the ageism issue. I believe I could survive 15 more years in the tech but it wouldn't be sufficient for me to retire. Overall on average I prefer to earn 30% less for the next 30 years than earning 30% more for 15-20 and having nothing for the rest.
> (incidentally this is the dirty secret of SRE IMHO)

I think I have a hunch, but what exactly do you mean by this?
As much as possible but it is never perfect as you always depend on someone. Organic search rankings, Google/Facebook ad accounts, PayPal (in ecommerce at least I think you probably give up some sales if you can't offer it).

It is always tempting to sink time into the platforms as well to increase volume even if it is a risk.
I feel that I read in a wrong way. My productivity and ability to think often plummets after reading fiction.

Could it be connected with vizualization? Do you visualize your characters, setting, predict what's going to happen, etc? Usually my eyes just skim over the descriptions of characters and scenery.
Space cows
As others have stated, the layout of a city presents enormous issues WRT public transport rollout.

If you take a train into a major metropolitan city like London you're sorted. You have a plethora of transport options available. For an area of at least five miles around the mainline station you come in to, buses are very frequent, a subway probably exists, other trains will exist, taxis/Uber will be easy, and so on.

Contrast that with taking a train to a random Northern town in the UK. You can get there, sure. Now what? You're miles walk from anything, it's all a big car-like suburban layout unless the specific thing you're visiting happens to be in the old town.

I generally tend to drive when visiting family for that reason alone, because otherwise it takes four or five times longer (not an exaggeration at all) to get anywhere once you're there. A 10-15 minute drive could be a 50 minute bus journey.

I've used that at times, and it's been somewhat beneficial some of the time.

Very hard to successfully do this, basically have to commit to going full stealth with a different company, owners, emails, bank accounts, IPs ect.
I think the bad thing is not telemetry itself but the fact that it is silently enabled by default instead of asking the user whether they agree to it. Make it voluntary and there would be no problems at all. I didn't ask for this feature.

Also, one doesn't need telemetry to notice how notifications are abused on the web. You can just start a browser, visit top 1000 popular sites and count how many of them show the popup.

Also, it seems like everyone tries to abuse notifications. For example, Youtube app shows a notification when the channel you are subscribed to releases a new video. Is it so urgent, that you need to distract the user? They could show this information when the user opens the app.
>Turning off notifications for that website took at least 4 clicks through Chrome settings.

It's actually just three clicks, and you can do so from the page itself. No need to go into settings.

Click the Lock icon left of the omnibar. On pages that request notification permissions (eg. reddit), you'll see a toggle for it. Along with any other permissions requested.
"They've taken the "veggie burger" from "actually I've changed my mind, I'm not hungry after all" to reluctant acceptance."

This sounds like small-minded prejudice. Of all of the ingredients with which you can make veggie burgers, you would refuse all of them? Keep in mind that you can make burgers out of virtually anything.
But you have to make only one click to agree to the notifications.
Slitherlink is incredible, you learn to recognize more and more patterns. And when you have mastered one variant, you can try with honeycomb pattern instead of squares or other shapes to explore new patterns.

Light up/Akari I have never quite gotten. It's either too simple or too hard, after learning the common patterns. I often end up just trying to fill in something, and backtrack when it doesn't work. Not as satisfying as deducing it would have been.

Hitori is nice, albeit a bit easy after having found the patterns. But relaxing to just comb through a few puzzles.

Shikaku, I prefer Tentai Show which is similar but arbitrary rotatable shapes instead, a bit nicer patterns to learn.

I highly recommend looking into the KeyKOS operating system, which allows time and space resource usage to be controlled via a common abstraction of authority (keys/capabilities) - and that recursively.

From someday Google began to review new domains even account was already approved. My recent 2 domains: 1 reject with no clear reason; 1 still under review after half a month. Could anyone recommend an Adsense alternative?
Agreed but as mentioned I have spinal issues and rotating head horizontally hurts me less than vertically.

I also like the separation of having two screens but that's a personal thing because it fits my mental model well, with cinnamon and it's window position/resize shortcuts it's pleasant.
Hah! I think I’ve spent about 500 hours in Rimworld and haven’t come close to the endgame. I’ve never gotten any of the spaceship parts or anything like that.
Actually the core of all those early systems was Microsoft Basic even the original IBM PC had a Basic in ROM.

If you wanted low-level access you just poked Assembly code

Most of the really early Home Pc's had such limited hardware that running a compiler was not practical - you could get compilers for CPM systems but they where more professional systems with a price tag to match.

Even than a top of the line Cromecho s100 was a lot cheaper than say a pdp11/03
Is there any measurement to tell if hyper-casual is more engaging than say youtube or streaming services... or even TV.

If there are in a similar boat, calling it entertainment would be just. Calling it gaming would be a stretch.
The problem is, this can still totally remind people of EEE (Embrace, extend, extinguish [1]). And appears to be not incompatible with it. And even if EEE is not your current strategy [2], the trouble is, it may become so in future, even against your best wishes today. COOs/CEOs change, as well as kings do. Today's Benevolent Dictator may get ousted by some sneaky hostile takeover in future, or even just take an unplanned sabbatical in Tibet for reinvigorating their mojo. And may get replaced with a less enlightened one. That's kinda why e.g. people from countries with a history of communist or other authoritarian/totalitarian rule are sometimes wary of creeping surveillance tech even when their country is fully democratic now. A switch to a new authoritarian regime can sometimes happen surprisingly easy even in an apparent democracy. Many countries in the world seem to have given policy mandate to populist-ish chiefs recently, who knows how this will work out further down the line. That's why people fear centralisation of control and of power over infrastructure.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish

[2]: But then, sorry how this sounds, but pessimists tend to think, EEE perpetrators wouldn't publicly admit to it either...
tl;dr there is no silver bullet for programming methods
Working a full time job is IMO a crucial life skill.

If you give up now, and your startup fails (as most do), will you be able to bring yourself to go back to the 9-to-5 life? If you can’t learn to live that life, you’re likely to find yourself in a very difficult position 5-10 years down the line. Moreover, having only one year of conventional employment under your belt will serve as a red flag to many future employers.

Before you give up on conventional jobs entirely, consider the possibility that what’s causing you distress isn’t working full time but rather the particular environment you’re working in. Finding a new job should be much easier now with a year of employment than it is with zero experience. If you truly enjoy software development, you should be able to find a job where the hours spent at work will be engaging and enjoyable.

That feeling at the end of the day when you’ve spent all day at work and you’re tired? That’s normal. Have you tried getting up earlier and working on your side project in the mornings before work, when you’re more energetic?
Not to be negative but I would mention "a bad workman blames their tools ".
Readability Metrics and Technical Writing
Please do, Ray Tracing is not something that is really hard to implement and has pretty good impact for gamedevs. Unifying how light is handled can make lots of prebaked light data disappear, making iterations of models / levels more consistent.
Yes, both would work. Other countries have started with DNS blocks and eventually moved to IP blocks, which would prevent Google DNS from bypassing the block. For now though, changing your DNS will be sufficient.

I'm not aware of any block that is effective against TOR. Even if that were possible, I bet sci-hub has a .onion mirror, which is by definition not blockable.
> everybody would want to work on projects/bugs/teams that have clearly measurable results.

so let that happen. Those who can't can leave, and see how the company actually fairs. When they find that some crucial roles aren't taken and the company starts "failing", then they will surely admit that said role is needed, and reward it accordingly.

But perhaps there are indeed roles that aren't useful, and therefore, actually could've been eliminated but for the stigma - so may be this is the way to go forward.
Agreed--I want to take trains, but when I can fly somewhere and buy 10x the carbon offsets for the difference between the plane/train costs, well...I'm going to fly.
