Your link makes my point perfectly: doctors are open-minded, and have conducted rigorous investigations using meaningful clinical endpoints, and cannot substantiate the anecdotal reports of improvement in spite of a very diligent search. It states:

Posttreatment LD remains a poorly understood syndrome,
occurring in an estimated 10% to 20% of humans treated

And in turn I think you're missing the point somewhat - people's point is that retro doesn't have to mean inconsistent art style and bad colours. There are lots of examples of beautiful retro games.
It's easy to gain users, when you give away money.

When you used PayPay during the original campaign period they discounted purchases by 20%. At random, they would also pay the whole price, without deducting your balance.

I've been told they had a 100MUSD budget for that campaign.

Essentially they threw money at user acquisition. By using PayPay you were getting free money... it was kind of nuts not to use it.

So, it's not surprising that they gained so many users. On top of that, digital payment systems were already popular in Japan (as well as being able to use your railcard for payment, there's a bunch of store cards/other digital payment cards).

Did you miss the part where adding an employee would double his required budget for the game? Which means he needs at least double the sales? Which means more risk? And there's no guarantee he'll hit that even if the graphics look better?

> Jeff needs a good art director.

He does address this in the article: Hiring more people means he directly needs to make more sales, which (I also know from experience) is very difficult to do. Hiring dead weight like an "art director" probably means hiring even more people to carry out the directions of the art director, since they're unlikely to be a can-do person themselves.
This is a curious statement. Why would someone having a bunch of laptops require password resets? Weren’t the laptops properly configured so physical access != network access? If not, then having people commuting with these timebombs is not a good idea. As it’s much more likely that a laptop will be stolen from a worker’s home or car or anywhere than the office.

Back in the day, Merrill Lynch had a rep for hiring really green people on the cheap, doing a very good job training them up, and then not paying them according to their new value in the market. When you would leave, managers would often lay the guilt trip about "What you owe us..." (to which the proper response is the line from Goodfellas -"F* you. Pay me.")

There was a sitewide IT town hall in NY when I was there and some senior MD brought this problem up. "We're investing a lot of money in training people and then having difficulty retaining them." From the crowd of around 1000 a voice cried out "Stop training them!"

I also don't understand this, just like the decision to remove certain features over time.

Used to be that YouTube had the option to translate comments from another language, with a button right next to the comment, even before Twitter was doing it.

While not perfect, the translations were usually still good enough to get what people were writing and at times even good enough to have conversations across language borders.

I really used to enjoy that part of YouTube, until the Google+ integration completely removed that option [0]. Sure, now I could just have the browser translate the whole website to read comments, but that always feels super weird and like way more effort than just pressing a simple button right next to a comment.

The original article made the case that this was cheaper than upgrading existing infrastructure, it also made the case that this will be around for 200 years. That being the case, attempting to future proof, by eg designing it to be 250mph capable seems sensible.

Theres also the fact that this route will have competition, against aircraft and cars, ideally it needs to be quicker than its alternatives in order to succeed.

Longer trains probably will increase capacity, but mailing around TB hard drives probably has higher bandwidth than the average internet connection. Good luck selling individuals on that 'upgrade' though.
> When I say Jeff needs an art director I mean that Jeff needs to care about art direction and that making a good looking game with his existing constraints is perfectly feasible.

Then say that instead of "Jeff needs an art director", which literally means that Jeff needs an art director. Which means another employee. It doesn't mean "Jeff needs to be an art director". Which he is, but results in the current situation where his games have the art they have, people complain, he writes an article explaining, and people like you criticize him for reasonable justification for why things are the way things are.
I actually went through this system several years ago.

Basically, the system favors famous universities' graduates. Since "big" companies (Toyota, Panasonic, NTT, etc) are in competition with each other during the tight recruiting schedule, they tend to focus recruiting effort on few "good" universities. However, even then, obtaining the best talents are not guaranteed.

Therefore, their solutions are an agreement with those universities, where a number of hiring slots are reserved for graduates from those universities. The universities decide who get the recommendation to which companies.

The catch is, once you are selected for this recommendation, you are STRONGLY compelled to accept offer from that specific company, and withdraw application from all other companies. The students submits their preference to the career councelor and it was considered, but there are cases where people ended up at strange companies. I know someone who was an excellent researcher on image processing and wanted to do DSLR camera development in Canon, ended up as automotive engineer at Toyota because he was afraid of missing out once in a lifetime opportunity, due to the lifetime employment system. (To be fair, due their recent focus on autonomous driving, it worked just fine for him)

I actually managed to secure one of those slots and obtain my first job this way. I have since moved to another company since then as I didn't believe in lifetime employment, but in my case, I actually liked the job. So, it was all good for me.

Many of them get tortured in similar ways if they make it to prison.

In a different framing, the US looks pretty horrible in comparison to China. It's just that we have gotten used to our own brand of stink.

Completely agree that it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they are low res. However, it's not just the colors. For me it's mostly that the lighting across artwork is very inconsistent. The artwork separately is quite good, but because some stuff is much lighter than the rest it feels like it's gathered from multiple separate games and put together in one.
I've been using Flowstate on Mac for this. It certainly forces some sense of pressure, but is a great way for scoping out an initial draft of a blog post which I can then rewrite with more care and attention.
I'd like to know what incremental cost there is for an increment of higher speed

So you are arguing against it when you don't know the cost?
That's... a very bad idea.

First of all, there's graphemes are inherently not one-to-one with code points, e.g. Á = A + `. There's simply no Unicode encoding that will let you safely index into an array without paying attention to the meaning of the underlying codepoints. (and no, using NFC won't solve this either, because there are combinations for which there's no composed equivalent)

Secondly, general formatting info won't fit into 11 bits (italic, bold, underline, strikethrough - that's already 4 bits, and we haven't talked about color, font weights other than bold, etc.), so why bother baking in a limited, intentionally gimped version into your character encoding?
Although BRAW isn't really equivalent to CinemaDNG - the former is lossy and the latter isn't.

> ... but docs for anything React related to Typescript (types of components, etc) are harder to come by

I just saw this linked today and didn't look it through entirely, but this React+Typescript cheat sheet looks very interesting for React-specific issues you might encounter with Typescript:

https://github.com/typescript-cheatsheets/react-typescript-c...

For example it explained an issue with the type inference for custom hooks that confused me somewhat earlier.

I really like Typescript so far, but you can easily encounter situations that are hard to figure out with only basic Typescript knowledge, especially when interacting with more complex libraries. This probably gets better with more Typescript experience, but it can be a serious speed bump as a Typescript beginner.

It is strange that the author does not reference the whole 'Nouvelle AI' movement of the late 1980's that was a direct response to the 'symbol systems' of classic AI, proclaiming the necessity for embodiment as a prerequisite for grounding.

Additionally it helps to have a unique, well thought out and recognizable style in a game when you want to convince your audience that you are making good games and you are not some guy who tried out a game editor for the first thime with that generic texture pack he found on the internet.

People are very visual and your game can be amazing in terms of story or programming, but you also need to sell them visually. That doesn't mean every game has to go for amazing graphics, but it must make sense and look interesting. E.g. nethack looks more interesting without generic sprite package, till somebody developes one with a consistent style.

It takes years to get good at this, unless you did it since you were born. You pay good artists exactly for these years.

Baba Is You and Downwell are a totally different kind of retro. They're trying to look like NES games. John's games are retro as well, but they channel the very different style of 90s Windows games, which had so many colors (256) they didn't know what to do with them all.
Well, the paper doesn't say that that doesn't work, just that it's not optimal. If you set the aircon to a given temperature it will cycle on when the temperature dips below the desired value and cycle off when it exceeds it. You're essentially regulating it by the error-states which the paper says doesn't minimize H(Z), so while it works it's only 'partial successfuly'. I guess that means the aircon doesn't keep the temperature rock-solid, but rather it fluctuates it within an acceptable range. I mean, it's a fine result for every-day life, but I guess theoretically according to this paper a better outcome is actually achievable??
When conceiving children biologically, if you do not have reason to believe your partner has had sex with other men, the natural assumption is that the child is yours.

Also, family resemblances do exist. Their absence doesn't disprove parentage, but their presence is evidence for it.

When adopting, if you were not sexually active prior to adoption and have not donated sperm, you can be certain the child is not biologically yours. Even if you were active or a donor, you can still be very confident the kid is likely not yours.

I think adoption is a wonderful thing and I am not trying to undercut it, but it seems entirely possible to me that those differences could impact the bond between a father and child.

Keyless encryption? Seriously?

With the painful jargon of your article, the "F-module" needs something more than a timestamp to use as a key.
- If it's its "system image" or something that depends on it, those bits are only known to one party and need to be sent to the other party through a secure channel.
- If it comes from the "assembler", there must be secure channels between the assembler and each endpoint.

Are you suggesting some scheme of centralized key exchange, or some technique to camouflage cryptographic messages in extraneous traffic? What happens in the realistic threat model in which the enemy can read, but not delete or alter, all network packets exchanged in the whole protocol?

It's not so much being picky but that from a design perspective aesthetics should add to rather than detract from the experience. For a modern ASCII example take a look at Cogmind:

From a commercial point of view the aesthetics are used by consumers as (perhaps unfairly) a judge of quality.
Maybe a solution is the same with cigarettes in the UK. Any packaging which is non-recyclable must be a standard color (i.e. red), and may not contain any creative branding on it. If advertisers want to market their products and make them look attractive on the shelves, they'll find creative solutions to using recyclable packaging.

Anecdotal I know, but when my first was born and I was outside with them for the first time, I got a weird sense of extreme overprotectiveness - exaggerating somewhat to make the point, but it almost felt like I would punch anyone if they looked vaguely threateningly at my new child (a particularly memorable experience for me because I'm usually such a placid person). Not an expert, but that felt like it could be something hormonal.

And at risk of sounding a bit handwavy, I think I've adapted to being a parent much better than I thought I would, which I guess could be thanks to some biological help.

Also used to look a lot younger than I actually was, and now I look my age or even older, but that could simply be lack of sleep.

Uh, yes you can. Just look at the different car fleets in Europe (where gasoline taxes are high) vs the US (where gasoline taxes are low.) The first thing I notice when driving from the airport either in Europe when I'm visiting or the US when I'm back is the different composition of cars on the road - the US has lots of pickups and SUVs, where Europe has a lot of small coupes and sedans. That's driven by gas pricing, and mpg standards.

> Great intentions do not always lead to great outcomes (often the opposite).

"Do not always" is not the same as "cannot". It is true that incentives can have unexpected results, but as another poster replied, the answer to that is to iterate and improve rather than "not try in the first place". Markets do not lead to perfection without guidance.
