Exactly. I think it's reasonable (although perhaps naive) for people to have a sunny view of law enforcement. Especially when, like me, they're white men from middle-class backgrounds; I've never had a bad experience with law enforcement, despite having done some stupendously dumb-ass things.

But even though I'm predisposed to view cops favorably, the stuff with ICE is shocking to me. America has a big chunk of history [1] where ethnic cleansing was common and ignored or even supported by police [2]. It's hard for me not to see ICE's aggressive dehumanization of non-white migrants as a resurgence of that. So I'm not surprised that even at Palantir people are objecting.

@types versioning is strange because you never know whether or not the version of the types matches the dependency exactly. for example the case where the typed version has a minor upgrade (say due to increased type coverage), the types become out of sync.

the fix is to do away with @types and export types from the dependency itself so they are always in sync

I'm super happy that games that look and feel like those from Spiderweb Software exist. I think it's charming. But the fact that he feels compelled to write an article in defense of the art style is telling to me. I think it's not unreasonable to answer the headline question with "because they're stubborn".

Their games look crap, not because of a lack of resources but because of a disrespect for visual design (it's not even "art", they could make a better looking game with colored squares). There's probably many, many ways to improve the look that have nothing to do with "AAA art". He fails to see how Baba Is You is a better looking game than any of theirs, simply because it's focused and has a good use of color and contrast. Any $10/hour freelance game artist can tell him that the problem with the games is a mismatch in detail, between background and characters, between resolution and texture detail. This makes tiles look either blurry or covered in white noise and together with a sever lack of contrast, makes the game look flat and unlit.

Solving that doesn't require hiring expensive artists, it first involves acknowledging there's an issue at the core that can't be solved by sticking stuff on top of it. I see zero patience or passion for that and that's why their games look the same as 25 years ago (and I could argue, worse, since higher resolution doesn't do them any favors).

Again, I have no problem with their games and them looking like they do but going into defense here is a battle they can't win. Their best move is to acknowledge that they don't care and do so with pride. Everything else just feels at best insecure and at worst somewhat disrespectful towards devs who care.
Yes the local cost of living matters, however it also depends on how you define success. If the minimum wage constitutes an overall increase in wages then you could consider that successful by some metrics. However if success is defined by people not living paycheck to paycheck and feeling financially secure then it would be unsuccessful...even at 15 an hour. We're setting such a low bar for ourselves still at 15 an hour IMO. People will still live paycheck to paycheck at that wage.
And yet, you comment, showing us that side. Not sure if blissfully unaware or diliberately meta.

I guess I will tell a story. How about the time I was in grade 6, competing in the inter-school track tournament. My sport was the standing broad jump. I was amazing! I could jump, from standing, 2 meters 30 cm. Nobody could come close to me. I was a shoe-in for the gold medal.

At the track meet, on a fine day in early June, I was really confident. Until I saw this one competitor. Supposedly he was 12 years old, but he was almost 6 feet tall. 12 years old my ass!

Anyway, he beat me. I jumped 2 m 31 cm (personal best), and he jumped 2 m 32 cm. Nobody else in the competition was even close. 3rd place was something like 2m 10 cm.

I've never been so disappointed with 2nd place. Just goes to show, not matter how confident and able you are, you can still fail. Yes, the world kept turning, and the sun still came up in the morning. I was just a bit more disappointed than the day before.

the a:b notation for JS is still in proposal phase https://github.com/tc39/proposal-slice-notation/pull/32, but I'll use it below to create ranges

I don't understand your `+0.5`, I've written below the transcription for your description

[...1:30].map(a =>
[...a+1:30].filter(b => gcd(a,b)==1).map(b =>
[...b+1:30].filter(c => gcd(a,c)==1
&& gcd(b,c)==1
&& Number.isInteger((a**3+b**3+c**3)**(1/3))
.map(c => [a, b, c])
)
).flat(2)

Or another equivalent way:

[...1:30].flatMap(a =>
[...a+1:30].filter(b => gcd(a,b)==1).flatMap(b =>
[...b+1:30].filter(c => gcd(a,c)==1
&& gcd(b,c)==1
&& Number.isInteger((a**3+b**3+c**3)**(1/3)))
.flatMap(c => [[a, b, c]])

Or another way (generating first all the triples):

[...1:30].flatMap(a => [...a+1:30].flatMap(b => [...b+1:30].flatMap(c => [[a, b, c]])))
.filter(([a, b, c]) => gcd(a,b)==1 && gcd(a,c)==1
&& gcd(b,c)==1 && Number.isInteger((a**3+b**3+c**3)**(1/3)))

with https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers, which would allow lazy evaluation, and make more sense than above

(1:30).flatMap(a => (a+1:30).flatMap(b => (b+1:30).flatMap(c => [[a, b, c]])))
.filter(([a, b, c]) => gcd(a,b)==1 && gcd(a,c)==1
&& gcd(b,c)==1 && Number.isInteger((a**3+b**3+c**3)**(1/3)))

without the slice-notation, it's really ugly (hence the proposal in the first link)

Array.from({length: 30},(_,a)=>a+1)
.flatMap(a=>Array.from({length: 30-a-1},(_,b)=>a+b+1)
.flatMap(b => Array.from({length: 30-b-1},(_,c)=>b+c+1).flatMap(c => [[a, b, c]])))
.filter(([a, b, c]) => gcd(a,b)==1 && gcd(a,c)==1
&& gcd(b,c)==1 && Number.isInteger((a**3+b**3+c**3)**(1/3)))

Yes, I hadn't seen any pictures of his new game, so I thought he was talking about Avadon, the Avernum re-remakes, and so on, all of which look fine despite having a decent amount of re-used art and being iso 2D. The screenshots for the new game look worse than any game he's previously released.
No, it's actually quite simple. Encase the waste in concrete, and ship it in a shipping container [1]. The concrete caskets have enough radiation shielding that it is not dangerous to stand near them. Burying the waste is really just a safeguard against potential long-term leakage.

5. Use paper straws in plastic bags. (instead of plastic straws in paper bags)

Baba is You came to mind for me as well, as a game with incredibly simple graphics that still looks _really_ good. I think a big part of that is the consistency of the design.

The high-contrast simple design also facilitates the gameplay. There's no visual noise, so it's very easy to 'read' the levels and focus on the solutions.

With that said, I think the art is also deceptively good. I don't think I could replicate it quite as well (from memory) even having played the game a fair bit, and I certainly don't think a toddler (or lesser hyperbole) could capture the charm of some of the sprites.

"Based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, the level of entrepreneurship actually has declined in recent years. That is, the number of self-employed in the U.S. has dropped notably. Incorporated self-employed fell from 5.78 million in 2008 to 5.13 million in 2011. It climbed back to 5.64 million in 2016. So, after eight years, the number of incorporated self-employed remains well short of the 2008 level. Unfortunately, the news is even worse when it comes to the larger measure of unincorporated self-employed. The number of unincorporated self-employed declined from 10.59 million in 2006 to 9.36 million in 2014."
That's a very interesting topic! Does anyone know of other resources (blog posts or books) talking about how to build such extensibility in a SaaS app?

Obviously, there are lots of inspiration to be drawn from apps we use everyday, such as GitHub, JIRA, etc, but these behind the scenes view is very informative.
Google AdSense started off as contextual. Maybe the drop is so significant in this study because Google's ad network no longer knows how to be contextual and is crappy without tracking.
Google does engage in fingerprinting in multiple of its products, but even if it didn't I don't think I would change my analogy.

Google's position here is, "obviously you're going to have to let us track you some way, and our way (cookies) is better than fingerprinting." It's still blaming privacy-conscious users for the actions that advertisers have taken, because those unreasonable privacy-conscious people couldn't be content with just blocking some of the trackers.

There's an underlying tone to this article that reads as, "you all messed this up because you didn't just leave well enough alone. Now we'll come in and fix it, but you're gonna have to compromise with us when we do." From my perspective -- no, users didn't break anything. This isn't our fault, and we should be allowed to broadly block cookies without being tracked in more pervasive ways.

But, if it makes you feel better you can change a word in my characterization to read:

> "If y'all had just handed over your wallet when we asked, they wouldn't have had to hurt you. So really, this is your fault."
It's a great question. My son is 11. If you'd asked me when he was 3 or 4, I may have said it wasn't worth it. Now, I 100% feel it was worth it.

There's also nothing better at washing away the stresses of the day than the gigantic hug I get when I walk in the door.
A good artist will make anything look good, pixel art, card games, all the way to photo-real 3d (of course depending on the artist). What happens is that in general the first thing to be cut due to budget is probably the art since without function you have no game. Imho, indie games would do better if they "sliced" their game releases differently, such that art was never takes a back-seat as it is probably tempting to do. Many people think you only need good gameplay but in reality the art, aesthetics, music, etc. of any game is the invisible factor that people are influenced and only notice when it's broken.

What is the alternative to having a government? If the current government was completely defunded, it wouldn't prevent governance entirely - we would just be governed by some private company or organization instead. How long are you expecting a country to survive without a government before some group of armed individuals take control of it again, this time without any form of democracy?
"Pixel art" nowadays is a very very wide term. There's huge variable and hundreds of different "art styles" within pixel art. There are games with fairly simple graphics like Stardew Valley or Terraria, games with much better art direction like Celeste, and games with "high res" pixel art like Owlboy. Just to say it's "pixel art" doesn't mean much anymore.
It does. The more anti-fingerprinting measures you enact, the harder it is to pass to the point that it becomes nearly impossible to do.

What domain is the problem you're solving in that you can effectively run unikernels? i.e., you don't need something that ultimately doesn't run well in unikernels. For example, our application is a web app - that by itself can run reasonably well in a unikernel (not with how we've written it, but it can be done). But we call out to imagemagick for some processing, which would pretty much preclude a unikernel approach (barring breaking it out into its own service, which is totally doable - its hard to provide a perfect example).

Also, what are you using to create the unikernels?

I respect that. Crappiness is an underrated quality. I watched an interview with Barry Jenkins recently where he talked about his first short film. He talked about how the film had bad exposure, scratches on the film, weird color, etc. But at the same time, he still loved it, simply due to its uniqueness and rawness.

There's this assumption that every artist wants to mimic the big budget people. Or not even big budget, just medium budget. That filmmakers want to make movies which are shiny and polished. But a filmmaker who tries to imitate a big budget production with a shoestring budget isn't going to get a polished film at a tenth the budget. They're gonna get a weird uncanny valley, kinda good looking film that isn't quite indie, isn't quite mainstream. And trust me, as a begrudging attendee of many small film festivals, it's not a good look.

Contrast that to say, Stranger Than Paradise, which is remarkably simple and very obviously low budget. It's in black and white. The acting is a little rough around the edges. The sets are extraordinarily simple. The camera doesn't do anything fancy. Yet it works because it takes full advantage of its crappiness. It doesn't half ass quality, it full asses crappiness.
Yeah, when you write such an abrasive post, literally ending with "haters gonna hate" and basically implying that anyone who doesn't like the art is stupid, I'm not sure what kind of reaction you expect to get.
