Little Big Adventure is painted down in the article, but it is also a masterpiece. It plays uniquely, in a way that's hard to express.

I happened to find a copy in a discount bin almost a decade after it was released. Despite the dated graphics, the charm of the game feels absolutely tangible throughout the game. I completed the game and did so again after another 5 years through dosbox. I bought the sequel (LBA2) because of this, of which I have mixed feelings.

The controls of Alone and LBA always felt natural to me, so I cannot share this sentiment of confusion. The sudden camera jumps in Alone in the Dark can be confusing, but then again I actually played "Resident Evil" before Alone (it was only then that I became interested in the genre).

I have to say that there are several french games that really stood out to me due to the artistic and general playstyle in general.

"Heart of Darkness", from Chahi of Another world fame stays true to his style. The "Gobliins" series from Coktel vision are similar to lucasart's games, but have a completely different humor/feel to them. Coktel Vision did several positively weird games (Inca 2, for example).

I played most of these games decades after they were made just for curiosity, simply going by the "I liked this game, let's see what the author/s also did". Sometimes you do really hop into masterpieces that stand the test of time.

If you have youtube channels that dig into this sort of stuff, I'd love to hear about it. I follow some retro channels, but I didn't see those really mentioned anywhere aside from the usual "Another World" and "Price of Persia".
It made sense for me at the time, since I'm not a programmer and it offered an easy to use library. But if I were to start again I would use something like BearLibterminal since it supports ttf fonts, multi-tile characters, etc.

Offsetting carbon is not removing carbon.

For example, you could "offset" the effect of buying a daily latte on your household budget by just continuing to buy them while your partner promises to skip their own daily latte. Despite the offset, your bank balance would be lower than if you had just stopped buying them.

There is no known way to remove carbon at a scale that would make a difference and a cost people would accept. As almost all carbon from extracted fossil fuels is now in the atmosphere and ocean, it would amount to running our fossil fuel extraction in reverse.
>No it doesn’t. My wife an I both wanted to have large families, even when we were children. How will contraceptives affect people’s basic motivations and life goals?

they will in combination with economic incentives. In a world where skilled labour is rewarded and the cost of raising a child is higher and higher, whose going to pay for your large family? When people in developed economies today date, do you think they favour high social status and intelligence or sperm count?

OP makes highly dubious claims and does not pass a basic smell test:

ALL CLAIMS MADE ARE DUBIOUS: Implementing 130+ papers in 7 months is highly implausible. This would require:

- Insane productivity.

- Implausible access to pricing and news data resources (which are often not freely available).

- Expertise in machine learning, natural language processing, finance, and data science. OP had to implement financial, time-series and linguistic feature engineering pipelines, as well infer the architecture and hyper-parameters used in all papers AND train all these models. ALL WITHIN 7 MONTHS. All while previously being a trader professionally i.e. not likely an expert in many of these fields.

- OP also claims he "web scraped" all the data which is highly unlikely as price datasets are often sold for a pretty penny and not publicly available in the detail described in several of these papers.

- Down the thread, OP says he does not know what a "meta analysis" study is al the while being capable of implementing 130+ papers. So someone who is an expert in ML, statistics, data science and finance does not know one of the most basic types of scientific study. All the while essentially engaging in a meta analysis study.

- OP describes himself as "a trader at a Tier 1 US bank" to lend credibility to his post: in itself that description is ridiculous and sounds like a naive attempt at instilling authority.

- When others encourage OP to publish results, he answers evasively: "probably a bit deep for a public forum but I was kinda glad to see the back of that work. It was an awesome learning experience but it's pretty soul destroying experimenting with tonnes of stuff that just doesn't work."

EVIDENCE PROVIDED: Non-existent.

All OP has to show for all this work is a hastily written Reddit post with dubious claims. There is no proof of the work done whatsoever, no code samples, not even result tables or graphs. The discussion of basic results are often made criticisms of this line of research.

MOTIVATION:

At the end OP shills his cryptotrading bot.
This post was likely all just purely made-up to market his cryptotrading bot service. OP uses some common criticisms of market prediction research to garner authority as a wizz-kid to attract people to his crypto scam.

What's worse many on HN and Reddit seem to gobble it up naively. Seemingly because OP is critical of something that is popular to criticize.
Most captians want to keep their vessel in good shape and will avoid whales when possible purely out of selfish reasons. Simply providing the safer option seems quite effective when the power of law is absent.

What can I say except "fuck Google"? I don't think there's anything constructive to be said here because this is so obviously a bad move (for users).

I feel like Google is quickly moving in the footsteps of IE; embrace, extend, extinguish and all that. I don't like how Google now has so much market share in the browser space that they can essentially unilaterally make decisions that are user-unfriendly and have a real impact. I switched (back) to Firefox for this reason. I switched away from them when they essentially purged Brendan Eich for political reasons, but they're the lesser of two evils now.

I guess in summary, all browsers suck and we're all fucked.

> I'm sorry, but how you can consider anything but deductive proof as a proof?

Because if the logic is sound and something is true in the model, it cannot be disproven in the logic (and arguably engineers care more about the model, anyway). In other words, you can rely on model-theoretic proofs, which are not deductive (at least not in the logic itself).

Also, I don't think that engineers are necessarily interested in proof, but rather in verification, i.e. knowing that the proposition is true with some probability. This is also more easily achieved in the model theory.

> is nothing more than a way to say "you can choose to proof or to do some handwaving instead".

No, it isn't. You can choose to model-check (a model-theoretic proof), or you can verify with high but less than absolute certainty. Neither of these is "some handwaiving", and both, BTW, are bigger topics of research in the formal methods community than deductive proofs (take a look at formal methods conferences). And don't forget that because engineers are interested in the correctness of a system, not of an algorithm, there is always a probability that the system would fail, because there is always a probability that the hardware would fail. So below a certain probability, proving algorithm correctness is of no interest to engineers.

It also seems to me that you believe that the ability to write proofs is a choice. This is something that only people who have not used formal methods could believe. In practice, we could not write deductive proofs even if we really wanted to, because it is just too laborious. The largest software ever verified end-to-end using deductive proofs was 1/5 the size of jQuery, and it took world-experts in verification over 10 person-years (it took them 20-30, but they say they can cut it down), and it required an extreme simplification of the algorithms used. So the reality is that we have no idea how to verify programs that aren't tiny using deductive proofs, and that's why most of formal methods research is looking in other directions.

If verifying programs with deductive proofs were an actually viable option, I would be very much in favor. I'm not because it isn't, but there are other verification methods that have so far shown more promise in practice. It's not a matter of principle, but of practical feasibility.
This is tricky. There is IMO no good technical way to implement the requested features without breaking core human respect of the users.

What would be a better approach to the problem? What about an approach like the one regarding smoking in hotels: make it forbidden, but accommodate it so that it wouldn't be as much of a bother?

For hotels it means providing an ashtray. For toilet sex it could be an interesting experiment!
Except grain farming. Our policy makers will happily drive any other type of farmer out of business.

> Sometimes a bit of interactive media is more compelling than a wall of text.

"Sometimes" means different things to different people. I'd prefer to read a well written article that paints a picture in my mind so it sticks. These scrolling js/video nightmares are a great way to allow for lower quality writing covered up by glitzy media. It's the McDonalds equivalent of information dissemination design. The fact that the NY Times does it is irrelevant. No thank you.
If they're built like other active speakers (studio monitors and the like), the crossover is line-level and there is a power amp for each driver. So any full-range signal you get is going to be at line level, not amplified.

Yet the human experience is subjective and fallible.
Even if IQ tests measure something useful - and I'm skeptical of that - intelligence itself is far down on the list of traits needed for success.

Ambition. Confidence. Charisma.

There are probably others but the successful people I've known have those - and it's hard to tell (certainly harder then the IQ test implies) but I don't think those people were particularly smart.
I didn't express a scientific prediction, but used an image of extreme poverty and pollution to underline the caveats of overpopulation.

What's more, the vast majority of indian population consumme much less than the average american.

And yet the highest commented post on this site as of this comment is about some schmuck who invented a "marijuana breathalyzer".

Humanity is going to perish purely out of our own stupidity.
I did not read the article (WeWork is a joke of an overhyped company in most respects anyway, not sure why anyone bought into it to begin with) but it really depends does it not? You apply and accept but if you, for instance, find out later your colleagues get more for the same work or you take risks (coming from the EU, being able to lose your job at any moment is such a risk), that should be compensated with money or, if you like that kind of thing, options.

If she accepted and it is still a competitive salary for the position then you are right. But if that changed or somehow there is risk that is compensated at other corps (in options or money) then it would be a valid complaint.

You seem to imply in this case it is just whining or FOMO or something while being compensated properly. I think there are kind of cases worth reading about where it is actually simply unfair.
Yeah the paper does not pass a basic smell test.

OP also claims he does not know what a meta analysis is while doing all the work for a what could be a great meta-analysis.

He also answers evasively when people ask for results or proof.

You would have to take the line-level signals from before the power amps, and the crossover is probably around 2500-3500Hz, way too high for a subwoofer.
I've high IQ but I don't struggle neither I've difficulty dealing with anyone, even toddlers are very interesting to me.

Also i don't see IQ is as good metric to gauge anyone's intelligence. It measures something but that's all about it, it doesn't measure intelligence as whole.

There is no special knowledge being fed to me automatically other than recognizing some common patterns across varied things which i do often.

I don't think IQ makes me any different than any other person.

I am pretty well off yes, not super successful like many others but I've easy life.

I moved from South East Asia to US to India. Despite average IQ difference between these countries, I don't feel it as personal level even when I interact with random people on street.

Mea culpa, my figure of 10,000x was not per capita and assumed that the above comment stating that Norwegian police has only ever killed 1 person was true, when in fact rate has been about 1 per seven years for the last couple of decades and there is not data available before that.

But your 16x figure from Wikipedia is also not accurate -- it overestimates the Norwegian rate by about a factor of 7 for some reason. Using the historical data at the bottom of the page suggests that the rate of police killing in the US is around 60x higher than Norway, or 150x if we assume that there were no killings in Norway between 2017 and now. This is considerably greater than the 10x difference in homicide rate (you quoted that as 45x but as I said previously that is for gun homicide only, and you haven't given any reason why that is more relevant).
That's actually something I've been discussing with a colleague - Nix is capable of building various other image types (netboot, qemu, etc.) and we could theoretically extend Nixery to provide such images in addition.
It's extraordinarily easy to look back after a big event like this and say "Oh yes, Gibson's has always been racially profiling." Your mind will even construct memories to justify that belief if you're not careful.

Unless someone can point to some pre-November 2016 documentation of Gibson's racially profiling I'm going to be extremely skeptical of that claim. The article even notes that Gibson's is conspicuously absent from a discussion of racial discrimination by Oberlin businesses during the civil rights era.

In that sense, it's somewhat strange that Chrome isn't already presenting us with ads in the tab-/addressbar and the menu. Perhaps some pop-ups from the bottom and sides as well while they are at it? The original free/shareware version of Opera had that too, and it wasn't that intrusive.

I think what zlynx is saying is that even if PulseAudio emulated JACK, and did 100% of what people use in JACK, exactly as well or better than JACK did it, people would find something to complain about. Maybe they'd complain that PulseAudio is "bloated", or that this is yet another Poettering monolith.

FWIW I've been able to get similar input latency with PulseAudio as with JACK, that's not so much the issue as synchronization. If PulseAudio introduced a timecode like JACK, that'd probably be close to enough.

If you were really just going for minimum latency, your recording application would use ALSA directly.
Why the phrase "pet tech"? This is a good way to "ask for forgiveness, not permission" which I approve of. But is the goal of adding "pet tech" necessarily a good one? If technology is actually going to move your firm forward long term and is a good long term decision, it's not pet technology. It's a good decision, and it's something that hopefully your team and firm is behind.

The first half of the video is about the US, which is completely irrelevant. After that, he points out cold areas in a map, but does no calculations. The announcement was about a global average. Then, he clips off the ocean in the land-ocean dataset, comparing it to the land dataset. They are different datasets with different methodologies which he doesn't understand or go in to. Any difference must be intentional.

Then, he goes to lower troposphere temperatures, but again this varies from the surface temperature for well known reasons.

In conclusion, he didn't make any actual "arguments" at all.
If it's a good decision then you shouldn't have to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. It's also, if it's not just a pet technology, a strategic decision that impacts everyone on your team and it's pure ego to think you should make that decision alone.

It really irks me how some treat the practicalities and existing choices of real world software development as an annoying impediment to getting to use a language they're interested in. Whether you're interested in a language and whether you should use it in production can be two separate things. If you've got a compelling reason to use a given language in production, you probably don't have to trick your co-workers into doing anything, you just have a conversation with them! And if you "trick" them into using it for something small, aren't you going to sabotage your long term relationship and trust with them for minimal gain?

To echo LegitShady, FreeCAD is the only open source tool that even aspires to be anything like Fusion 360. Blender is essentially unusable for precise modeling since it doesn't have a constraints engine or a proper history.
