One thing I like about running barefoot is that it forces you to ramp up slowly, because the soles of your feet are the limiting factor (blisters, abrasion, etc. ) If you're already in good shape and want to get into running it can be tempting to start out with long runs instead of following the +10%/week recommendation.
Conventional firebombing took fleets of B-29 bombers, many flying fairly low (within flak and fighter range), presenting tremendous cost and risk.

The WWII city-leveling low-yield atom bombs were delivered by a single aircraft (plus a non-combat escort).

Today's nukes are launched from armoured bunkers or invulnerable submarines, fly without pilot or crew, include multiple reentry warheads, and can devastate multiple cities from a single launch vehicle.

There is no comparision.

Contextual ads would be perfectly fine and unlikely to be any less relevant than user targeted ads. However, any ad company can easily offer this. Google's raisin-d'etre is that they track everyone on the Internet, and that they claim by doing so, can offer the best ads. If they admit that's not true, you might as well go with any other ad company.

> Beeing poor means to struggle to make ends meet every day and despite optimization efforts fail to do exactly that every now and then. You can have a hundred times the absolute wealth of someone in a different society and still be poorer than them in that you struggle for survival, while they do okay for the society thwy are in.

This doesn't seem right to me. Would you rather live as a middle class person, say 50th percentile in terms of wealth, in medieval Europe (which, despite being middle class still means 50% child mortality, little or no education, no effective medicine, etc.) Or a lower class person today - say 20th percentile by wealth. The latter is making $18,000 a year which will be tough to get by. But I'd still take that over any sort of pre-industrial life without hesitation.
I'm not sure such a firm exists, for what you're talking about. In games, you often have an art director whose job is to create that consistent look (and such an art director can make freelancer work way, way more cohesive!). But you have to pay that person, and it's an ongoing task.

I love my son more than anything, but the job of being a parent mostly sucks. I don't like it, although it's way better now that he's 10. Even though it's not for me I would 100% go through it again to have my son again.

The only real concern I have about having a child is I don't know what kind of world he's entering.
> If the context of the discussion was about developers instead of artists, how would HackerNews feel about someone lamenting the fact that they can't get any "affordable" developers to work on their projects?

I'm not sure the reaction would be all that negative, to be honest.

The problem to me isn't when someone says "we want cheap work and we understand it will not be particularly high-quality," but when they say "we want top-quality work but we're not willing to pay for it."

Voegl's expectations here are honest -- refreshingly so. He's openly paying for artists, but he's paying for art to a budget rather than budgeting to art.

> There is a large grey area between "crap" and "AAA-quality".

I think Voegl addresses that in the middle of the "1." section -- he has had games with "improved" art, but the improved art did not increase sales enough to justify the expense. If an epsilon improvement in art did not improve profits, then it suggests he's near a local optimum.
>the demand in my local dev market went through the roof last couple of years for multiple reasons

Do you think your local development market is remotely representative of the nature of national employment trends in general? And you accuse the OP of "over-generalization"?
>nobody is going to 'well-rested' when there are only two people taking care of an infant.

Sometimes I wonder if people would be a lot better off if they formed 3-6 adult family units for the purpose of sharing resources and raising kids.

Back in the "old days", and still in many non-Western cultures, grandparents live with parents and help with family care.
Apologies - I guess I was in the wrong state of mind when I read it yesterday as now it appears completely clear what you meant.
The "likes me/likes me not" thing is exciting because of the risk of being wrong amplifies the reward of being right. Same as game shows with a "wager it all" mechanic.

But it's not fun to be on the other side of it, where you obliviously think you're developing a nice new friendship and then it turns out they want to get in your pants. The problem is most people can't gracefully degrade from crush to friendship, instead ending up at acquaintance or stranger. So now two people have wasted a bunch of time and emotion just because some ambiguity meant they weren't aiming for the same thing. Not worth it on either end if you ask me.

Therefore removing ambiguity from dating is unequivocally good, as long as it is done equally. It is a core feature of dating apps.
ligit looks cool too! perhaps we should chat about collaborating? Scarf currently doesn't do much for the developer in terms of licensing.

Scarf could in theory install packages directly from the registry, but I haven't looked into it much.
Maybe yes, maybe not.

Edit: it was low-tier shitposting. I'll let you judge what it means in the context of your question.
I think maybe we agree.

I was disagreeing with the one-sided claim, "The situation is pretty much dictated by supply/demand and both sides take advantage."

But you said something more balanced which I agree with: "It is true that supply/demand largely explains what happens in the job market. It is also true that there are are socio/political/cultural forces at play."
I happen to have gained considerable experience with TVs growing up.

Am able to take most vintage sets, align and calibrate them to perform much better than that image. In some cases, modifying the set does even more.

I love pixel art. Back then, I definitely saw the pixels.

Some of my sets were comparable in performance to what people seek for retro today, the PVR.

And I have a PVR, because they are cheap right now. Actually. I have two, but one will need service before I use it. Can still definitely see the pixels.

Google talking about enhancing privacy on the web reeks of the sulfurous lies of Satan speaking through his children on earth.

Google has 0 incentive to actually introduce privacy, let alone anonymity or Constitutional rights to free speech.

But ALL the incentive to undercut and take out all the actual efforts to redistribute the web and introduce real freedom and privacy and allowing humans to have the rights they already have and which government does not have the right to curtail or allow the curtailment of in any way (as outlined in the Bill of Rights); regardless of whether the tyrants keep trying to ever increasingly tighten the noose they have slipped over our neck at this point.

No need to try to flee or put your efforts into redistributing the internet, citizen, see, we are providing all you need here on FAANG Ranch.
I think James Mickens (Harvard CS) has it right. ML is inscrutable, black-magic that no one really understands. This is long, but worth watching:

That seems unfair. As a trained nuclear physicist and engineer, he was no doubt quite clear on the risks related to radiation.

Just because I choose to jump a motorcycle through a flaming hoop doesn't indicate that I think my body is impervious to flame.

It means I weighed the risks and made a choice.

In other words, ignorance, chance, and bravery are different things. And accidents are some mix of all of them.
XR has a US site: https://extinctionrebellion.us

They're not quite as established in the US yet as they landed there later, but are active and growing. The whole movement is only around a year or so old. They've achieved remarkable visibility and growth the time since the first UK demos.

Client Earth has a US arm: https://www.clientearth.org/usa/ though it doesn't look terribly active. I suspect there are better US equivalents that have achieved more stateside. I don't know who though, sorry.
Even when everything appears to be repetitive it is never repetitive. You should just try a work holiday visa on a country where you want to learn a language and work at a farm. It still won’t reflect all the stress that means just changing one provider, investing in new technology from all those companies that want to make profit on you for and never be sure on whether this year you are really not going to make it anymore, knowing you are already at the bottom of the chain (primary sector) and you start considering closing everything right before getting into bankruptcy. And your friends still believe you are ok because “you work in the nature” and if you are an owner you are very likely to get the whole year salary at once and they cannot understand why being cheap is just a way of survive.

It also has a wealth of options for tracking compilation time down to the dependent crate level.
For whatever it's worth, here are Prolog implementations of these examples (the second one is specific to SWI-Prolog, there is no standardized file system library, I believe).
Programming in pure Prolog is a bit like programming only in terms of the constraints inside a list comprehension.

These implementations don't actually produce lists but enumerate answers one by one, using backtracking. If you don't need all the answers, you just stop the enumeration whenever you like, and later elements are not computed. This is similar to lazy evaluation, and also works if there is an infinite sequence of answers. If you do want a list of all (finitely many) solutions, you would use one of several standard predicates (findall/3, setof/3, bagof/3) on the backtracking version. But this is needed less often than beginners think.

list_evenmember(List, EvenMember) :-
member(EvenMember, List),
EvenMember mod 2 =:= 0.

directory_minsize_file(Directory, MinSize, File) :-
directory_files(Directory, Files),
member(File, Files),
size_file(File, Size),
Size > MinSize.

abcd(A, B, C, D) :-
member(A, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
member(B, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
member(C, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
member(D, [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]),
A =\= 0,
(1000 * A + 100 * B + 10 * C + D) * 4 =:= 1000 * D + 100 * C + 10 * B + A.

I've been running ultras for a number of years now, and have suffered from many injuries, the worst being a stress fracture in my hip.

The last time I saw a sports doctor, he gave me the best advice to date:

That was over two years ago, and I've been racing and running happily injury free since.
The link I posted was Fujitsu's new ARM server, which bundles 32GB of RAM and over 30 cores on a single die. These are deployed in dual-socket blades attached to the "tofu" routing that they scavenged from their SPARC supercomputer.

Fujitsu is saying that their ARM implementation is the fastest server processor available, ahead of Intel.
I work 70% (5.6 hr/day) at SAP in Germany. I made it a condition when they hired me. In the meantime, many team members have switched from full-time to 80% to have Fridays off to spend time with their family.
I think most people in this thread are missing the point.

The point is know your constraints!!! Be willing to say NO to some things! Anything you say YES to has a cost!

If you can do the above, you can find success in most things.

If you apply the author's idea, it would be the same as. Why he has decided to own a small business and not a startup or a big enterprise. "Why my revenue looks like crap, and our growth is not a hockey stick" Most of us on here would be better off making $500k a year working for ourselves than chasing $1 billion valuation. Nothing wrong with that. He has a family to feed. He prefers having a small pie that's a sure thing than trying to go for a large pie that he might not be able to get.

>If you look at hours per worked per family, things have gotten even way worse since

No, they've got markedly better because of child labor laws. Kids during pre-industrial revolution time periods didn't just go of to daycare, football camp, elementary school... they did as much work as they were capable alongside their parents.

In fact, this still happens to some extent even in the United States on family owned farms. Once you're old enough to handle chores, you're out there mucking stalls or feeding horses/chickens/pigs, then when you're older and more capable you are driving equipment, mending fence, replacing fence posts, moving hay, servicing equipment.

For an easy look at this, just do a Google dive into FFA (Future Farmers of America). 670k kids across the country doing their various farming activities with the motto "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve"
Eh, might have worked out for your family, but statistics don't bear it out.

To the people on the ground, the fact that an A-bomb could be dropped from just one bomber made no difference. Fire bombing or A-bombing was roughly the same to them. Indeed, fire bombing was probably worse when it came in waves.

There were no medium or large cities left to flatten in August 1946.

I've read before, and I believe, that the Japanese military leaders and emperor were not that impressed with the A-bomb. And why should they have been? They already were ready for a one-condition surrender, and the U.S. did accept it (calling it unconditional, but the U.S. adhered to the one condition).
This, Rust std library is ridiculous compared to Golang’s one.
>> The key problem here is that, when most people say, "Your art looks bad," what they mean is, "I want art that is good." They mean, "I want AAA-quality art." And I can't make that. Not even close.

> That seems like a pretty big strawman to me. There is a large grey area between "crap" and "AAA-quality".

And even then, you can have low-budget (like what Vogel is doing) with good-looking art, as in good art direction, which he has already done.
I've been having trouble getting GitHub to send me a verification email (after adding a new email address) for over a week. Anybody else having this problem? I wonder if it's connected.
True, but that technical limitation inadvertently created a "style" and some people like that style even if the technology now exists to make art with more detail.

For example, just because the technology exists to make a virtually unlimited range of sounds and effects doesn't mean that we should abolish simple acoustic music... some people like that style, which originally existed because that's all the technology that was available.
This is a test, I'm looking at this app, seeing if it's worth my time.

It did NOT object to that, so I could in theory just monkey-bang on the keyboard for the next two/three minutes and it would be happy.
Hmmm... 73 words by 'hmmm', how many by the time I get to five minutes? Is that the 'danger' in "the most dangerous writting app"? Or is it dangerous because it gets one into the habit of flowing out to the written word?
If the latter, I may have to try this a few more times.
Yes, but you aren't going to get enough people to change their decisions to have an impact without changing their incentives.

Right now people are incentivized to use these "free" services because they feel like that's what is in their best interest. And to be honest, they are probably right in the current state of the world. I would be significantly worse off if I refused to use any Google services. I literally wouldn't be able to do my current job.

Making any type of change isn't going to come from us, but from regulators who force change.
Here's on article on research that shows barefoot / minimalist shoes produce less impact force https://www.outsideonline.com/2390686/barefoot-running-biome... . I think the idea is that the area under the force curve is the same, but that barefoot has a fatter curve. So, the maximum force impact goes down and it's more gradual overall.
Preindustrial you didn't spend time shopping, you spent time growing your own food and preserving it. You didn't spend time figuring out insurance, because there was no health care, at all. You didn't have bills because you paid up front, or you did without.

The part about the commute though, I'll grant you that. During the last thirty five years, my commute was two and a half hours each day for eighteen years. They rest has been reasonable, but that eighteen was awful.

Wouldn't this data be tainted by the fact that those deleting your cookies are the sort of people who actively adblock or protect their privacy, and hence are naturally unlikely to click on ads?

My work/life balance has changed a lot in the last 5 or so years. I've done all of the above (in chronological order):

FTE 100% in the office
FTE 100% remote (same company, living in the same city)
FT Contract on-site plus consulting
FT Contract on-site minus consulting
FTE 100% remote (HQ 4-5 hour drive away, quarterly-ish visits)
FTE 100% on-site
FTE* "wherever" plus 10-15 hours/wk consulting

Right now I'm a FTE at one place where I probably _actually_ spend about 35 hours/week working and then I am on monthly retainer for my old employer (through my consulting corp).

I wake up before 6 most mornings and either put in a few consulting hours or go do crossfit. Then 9-noonish I try and be productive at my full-time job. I usually a long lunch/run errands after that, and then a couple more hours for the full-time job in the afternoon. I'm usually done working by 4:30 or 5pm and then it's time to either cook or go to the in-laws or order food depending on how I feel (I'm the cook and we're a family of 6).

I have found the variety of doing multiple jobs keeps me much more productive in general, because I can basically work on what I want whenever I'm motivated to. The end of the month/sprint can be rough sometimes if I have procrastinated (or just not felt motivated at one job or the other), but every month when I get a check in the mail I feel freshly motivated haha.
Could you elaborate how anything of this is relevant to what I wrote?

The point was that you can't guarantee positive rights, since positive rights require some commitment.

I really, really don't understand. Where did you get this information?? It is false - it is lies.

> That person needs ID to be assigned to their polling station to vouch for you.

That is absolutely not true. The site says,

> The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions).

Nothing about ID. Just "prove their identity and address", which does not require ID.

> Canada very effectively requires ID to vote, sorry that offends you.

This is false. I am not offended by facts, or by your lies.

Canada does not require ID to vote. You are spreading lies by continuing to state that it does.

Have you ever lived there? Do you know anything about Canada from experience? You are lying and citing false information to claim falsehoods that are extremely dangerous.

Canada does not require ID to vote. Period.

This site has thousands of open sourced game assets: https://opengameart.org

Here is an asset pack of 65 fantasy icons for $5: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/gui/icons/fantasy-r...

I suspect someone spending $200 and a day of searching could probably find most of the art needed for Queen's Wish. There's really no need for him to be hiring freelancers in the first place.
We don't have numbers on the table, so we can't really talk about money. I am presenting what I think would be an efficient use of the money. Not paying a full time artist, not hiring an art director, just having someone with some sense of art fix up the whole asset directory a bit instead of simply asking people to do things generic like he says he does in the article. How much time will depend on the budget. This is just my idea, of course. Maybe he already tried it a bit and it doesn't give as much of a result as I think.
