Me too, I learned a lot of English. I would play Monkey Island and Indiana Jones with a dictionary on the side.

I remember taking hours in one of the first King Quests, that used typed text input, that the right verb was to "pick-up' a cup. Not take, not get, which were the only ones I knew at the time for picking up things.
Obra Dinn was SO GOOD, I made pages of notes in a notebook and had a great time. Not sure it really qualifies as an "adventure" though.

I finished Psychonauts. Once. I have tried to replay it and I just cannot, there is so much of it and I really do not want to slog through the tutorial area just so I can re-experience the Milkman Conspiracy.

Thimbleweed might have been better if I'd played it on the "light" version; the "full" version is mostly "lots of extra 'jokes' about how adventure games were better back in 1993".
You will likely regret saying this in about 5 days. It's already way too much. Call anyone in NYC if they know of a first hand case. NYC is tracking toward Italy more so than parts of China.
That's silly, you can easily fix the problem by using a subscription only on staples like food. That way they can't surge the supplies and you end up with one guy getting all the eggs and reselling them.

Nothing will change because if we all fail together then we will be bailed out together by the government. So the best solution is to minimize costs today by maximizing the chance that we will all fail together as an industry in a downturn and get bailed out.

What "utility" do you think exists for the ISP to increase their bandwidth capabilities?

With an electricity utility, they may be able to turn on their coal generators to meet peak loads - it's a higher cost, but it's something they have available to use when needed. If engineered correctly, it also provides power consistently across all customers. Sure your house never uses enough to matter, but if all of a sudden an auto manufacturer wanted to turn on a whole new production line, they would have planned for that and gotten specific lines run to power it.

There is no equivalent for an ISP. Yes, they could guarantee that each customer gets x mbit/s and provision enough capacity (both to your house, to your neighborhood, to your central office, and finally to their peering connections) to cover all of that, but your internet would cost $300/m whether you use it or not and you'd be complaining about that too.
Netflix urged to slow streaming to prevent breaking the internet
Can AR Make Us Smarter?
In the hospital they’re all complicated cases. The simpler vents are for home care use. The hospital doesn’t typically do noninvasive ventilation because it’s meant for patients who are awake and outside of a hospital setting.
Isn't it automatic? If the network speed is slow, Netflix will switch to a lower bandwidth video stream.
We have already rolled out UTC. Literally, we: servers are mostly UTC.

As for the time zones that descend from UTC, they're nowhere near gone: the idea might look appealing if you have Greenwich in your backyard, but everybody else is going to have a bad time. Introducing a breaking change "12 PM is not anywhere near noon" after hundreds of years is bound to be as successful as decimal time - I mean, we're still dealing with the fallout from Julian to Gregorian time migration, and that one started in 1582!

Personally, I call Zelda Breath of the Wild an Adventure Game (non-linear tho, most the games you listed are linear), and is one of the greatest games I've ever played.
Reminds me of Life is Strange, which is a really good "adventure game" btw.
About a year after 9/11 I worked at the headquarters for one of our largest retailers. The main hallway through the complex that everyone had to pass through was decorated in flags and other patriotic displays wall to wall, floor to ceiling. But we also received constant emails from the company telling us to contact our members of Congress to prevent customs from knowing where we get our goods such as ceiling fans. The worry was that a spy in customs might give that information to our competitors. Seemed weird to have so many visible displays of "Country First" while at the same time placing paranoia about corporate spies in the government above the legitimate need for customs to know where the goods we were receiving were coming from.

I haven’t seen a good analysis of it yet, but has anyone seen a list of “Guidelines for creating a good/entertaining ‘Troll’ Game” (e.g. IWTBTG, most Mario Maker levels, etc.)?

It seems like such a guide would almost be an inversion of some of the principles in this guide: in troll games, you tend to learn only by dying; the puzzles always require things you forgot in the previous room, and you can’t go back, so you must commit in-game suicide to try again; etc.

And yet, given that these guidelines are for the sake of making an entertaining game, how does inverting them then also make for an entertaining game?

Can troll games even be entertaining without the context of having played good games that do follow these rules? It seems like having a mental model of these sorts of guidelines from previous gameplay, allows the player to predict a sort of meta for how things like puzzles should work; and only in that context would an inversion of good design principles carry a comedic punchline.

I guess it’s similar to the question: can you create satire that makes sense without knowing what it’s satirizing?

Nasa runs on Government budget, I am sure they can claim some tax break there.

I'm sure the hospital nurses can learn via on-the-job training in a day. This is an emergent situation. No one is suggesting pulling a random person off the street to do it
As often, I have a feeling that the answer depends on the person/group you're optimizing for.

As the government will swoop in and save the companies that are large enough, there is little risk for them, so why would they spend enormous amounts on mitigating that risk?

This article pales in comparison with a presentation where he described a new Wolfram language feature (that was basically reflection) as New Kind of Programming no less.

> far, far more people die of very common things

More people die of those things in a year than have died of COVID-19 so far but that's the wrong comparison. There's real science and math behind predictions of a much higher toll which would make the comparison look very different.

There's also an aspect of who has control over outcomes. People can protect themselves from various ills by eating right, exercising, not smoking, etc. There's no connection to other people's actions or outcomes. With communicable disease, the person who's not worried about their own outcome can cause the literal death of other people who had no choice about being born with certain medical conditions that made them more susceptible. You might feel you're Living Right and you're at no risk yourself, but - as has been pointed out many times but apparently not enough - It's Not Just About You. Your actions are connected to others' outcomes. There's a social responsibility to avoid becoming a vector for infection.
Globalization was first used/coined in 1930, the black death and Spanish flu predate this and both managed to spread far and wide.

Everybody has worshipped at the altar of efficiency for so long that they don’t understand that if you don’t have extra capacity you have no ability to deal with unexpected events.

Well said. This seems to be the critical point to me, although it's not a brand new idea. Since JIT became very popular, there have been multiple occasions in various industries where we've seen the negative effects of not having any surplus capacity.
A very nice article. It just made me observe that “there is no time when there is no motion”
Amazon has a program for this called Transparency. It has some other purposes but this is one of the features of it. It's not a perfect way to track the chain but it is vaguely like what you propose.
Sounds like a fun format. Yes, formats can (somewhat) work around the P2W issue. I've played various experimental formats (back then these were suggested in mags such as Inquest).

There's also a format where you pay for packs. You open a pack, grab one card, and then pass it on to the player left of you. Repeat. Sealed deck or something it is called, but sealed deck itself involves too much around RNG.

I had very expensive Type I decks, and could not be bothered with the hypes around Type II because I disliked how I suddenly wasn't allowed to use certain cards. Which sucks if you got them not right away but later in the game (hence the hype to "buy a box" in start).

The most fun for me, with MtG, was trying to build decks, and win with them (or polish them, and then win with them). Unfortunately, we later found out that the competition was skewed: we had to pay 1 guilder (~half an EUR) to enroll, but the guy who ran it always opened the packs and replaced expensive rares with cheap ones something he previously denied doing.

I had a faerie deck back in the days, with only one expensive card: Pendelhaven. It was a quick weenie deck, and I could add some more expensive cards if my opponent had these as well, such as Nevinyrral's Disk.

The problem is that almost no one buys products based on the stability of the supply chain, so irresponsibly-global supply chains will beat out responsibly-global ones on price.

The problem is our tools to addressing this are either (a) some sort of tariff arrangement, which will almost certainly be political footballs far more than they will address any real problem, or (b) some regulatory/compliance arrangement, where regulated industries will have to sift through billions of dollars of compliance paperwork annually describing their supply chains, and which may be subject to the scare-of-the-month and international political football. Neither is ideal.
I don't want to disappoint anyone, but they are stating "we stand ready to do this" but the tacit follow up is "when we are asked to".

The president has stated he is not ready to ask them

"He's casting doubt over whether he will actually implement a move to invoke the Defense Production Act -- that he signed on Wednesday and that gives him authority to order industry to work towards homeland defense and national goals. In this case, it could speed the production of badly needed ventilators, masks and other supplies for hospital workers" - https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/politics/donald-trump-leaders...

FEMA and the Army Corp of Engineers have said the same thing. For some reason they are not being mobilized while CA, WA, NY/CT/NJ are dealing with a crisis and have asked for that help, formally and officially. Meanwhile, ICE is fully deployed and arresting people in hospitals, then concentrating them together without adequate separation.

GM and Tesla (and Ford, and all other domestic manufacturers that have done so) should be saluted for volunteering to help. But there is a slow-walking of the response and something very, very rotten is going on in some areas at a coordination level in the US.
You could make the method more robust by sacrificing a few bits for error correction. For example, by using a Hamming code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamming_code.

Histograms, too, bin values and thus show only a few values instead of the whole distribution.

In fact, the only big difference between histograms and percentiles are that they're sort of the same thing on a different axis.
This is no longer true with CSS Grids. The grids are all defined in the CSS itself, allowing us to once again separate style and content, as well as allowing us to define custom templates for different screen sizes (rather than simply force them into a single-column, left-to-right order).

I know this is still barely being used, but it's clearly the better way to go.
I subscribe to Grumpy Gamer's RSS feed and I think this was the article that got me started on this blog.

I recently played Milk Maid of the Milkyway. It's a super cute indie title and it's an adventure game. Despite the beautiful dialog and wonderful music, it still had a lot of the issues that Grumpy Gamer touches on that killed the original genre.

You end up clicking everything on everything, looking up hints for objects you didn't realize were even clickable, and have stupid puzzles like putting a frog in a random hole and poking it with a needle so a guy oils a gear.

By contrast, Red Strings Club is an indie adventure game that gets this totally right. It's story telling with game mechanics and you don't need any hints or need to solve any insanely stupid puzzles to get through it.

Night in the Woods is another great Indie adventure game that's more about story. It doesn't have the same level of puzzles as other adventure games, but the puzzles all make sense. The game has a lot of mechanics that keep it going forward so you don't get stuck.

Life is Strange is another one that's more story driven. I had trouble with it initially. It's slow and was difficult for me to get into, but I'm glad I stuck with it as the story is really interesting and does some very bold stuff for a game. I haven't tried the 2nd one yet.

Telltale got a lot of this gene right I think. People complained how you don't really affect the story in Telltale games and that is true, but it is also very difficult to create those types of games with true multiple outcomes (especially if you have sequels planned. You only want 2 ~ 3 maximum outputs at the end. Mass Effect was good about being more complex; they had to plan for certain characters simply not being in future games -- but Bioware too ultimately collapsed the story down into very few possibilities by the end anyway).

Finally, Quantic Dream does a super good job of this (Heavy Rain, Beyond Two Souls, Detroit). They've been PS4/Sony exclusives for a while, but I heard some of these games are making their way to PC. They are slow games you can't run through, but they don't require insane puzzles and keep moving. Detroit does a really good job with totally different narrative paths and endings, and they don't skimp on the writing, even on endings people would rarely get to.
Thanks!

But still unproven then, because it's a hypothesis and not a theory...
Sass removes most of the cruft. I made a semantic flex grid many years ago, and the result was a lot more clean than using utilities, even in the css side [0]. This was before CSS Grid Layout was widely supported, nowadays you can use plain CSS grids and get similar results.

I've long believed that it would better for everyone if Congress critters spent more time in their states and districts and less time in DC. There are members of the House who are requesting the ability to vote remotely. Before this crisis such a thing would never have been considered but hopefully this will lead to a more decentralized Congress that can be more responsive to the people they represent and more difficult for the K Street crowd to influence.
In your example, a 30% mortality rate is a very big deal. If we had a hypothetical cure that killed 30% of the people it was administered to, I doubt it would get very far.

I'm not saying the alternative is do nothing. But playing doctor because you think that you're reasonably qualified to administer a ventilator, then we're going to end up with, say 30% mortality rates from patients whose lungs were sucked through a ventilator tube because you guessed the wrong pressure. Or, more realistically, a terrible infection because you decided soap and water in the bathroom sink would be sufficient to clean the apparatus.

And then what do you suppose will happen after 30% of these amateur medical procedures go South? Are you going to throw in the towel, try something even more reckless, or decide that you need to get an actual doctor involved to clean up your mess? At which point, you've just added yet another case to the already overburdened medical system. And at a 30% failure rate, that would become a major burden.

There's a lot of room for action between doing nothing and acting foolishly (such as claiming a 30% mortality rate for botched medical procedures is a rational tradeoff). There are ways to help the situation here that don't involve magically becoming a nurse overnight.

If under caches you mean caches in the end-AS then the only work that has that ability is Akamai which has a very large number of pops located inside eyeball networks.

Cloud Flare does not. Cloud Front does not. Fastly does not. Google does not. Level3 does not. Even Limelight/Edgecast which used to have a decent footprint inside Verizon does not.

That in turn means that all of the content cached by those networks still relies on the eyeball networks having interconnect capacity.

Many people would argue that your fourth criterion rules out all options. We're in historically unprecedented territory - there is no reasonable assurance of anything. The broad market is 30% off recently-set all-time highs. Whether it will go down a lot more or not is unknown. If the damage to the economy is sufficient it could take years to recoup a broad market investment made even at today's 30% off ATH level.
Overall, very simple and to the point but not worth $219/mo. In your DEMO, the "Order Status" page takes approx. 4.76s to load 205 orders...this seems like a very poor architecture decision or a poorly written SQL statement combined/rendering logic, especially in 2020. You are headed in the right direction though! To compete with the big guns, you'll either need better pricing or better features (including what others already offer). Make sure to do your market research beforehand or lineup a paying customer in return for significant discount. Best software is created when you have end-users using it and providing you direct feedback.
Nobody is immune to this from before. Everyone might contract this at the same time.

We don't know exactly what this is, or what it may become.
The infection rates are much higher than flu.

Most countries aren't as prepared as some Asian countries that've had to deal with such situations before.

After short time with exponential spread, countries will shut down anyway, and then it's too late to avoid becoming Italy.

It's prudent to stop or slow this down, until we've had time to prepare and learn more about the disease.

Nobody knows anything for sure in this situation.

We should've already prepared for this eventuality anyway.

Google puts the museum hours at the bottom of the museum landing pages. These hours are unlikely to be valid for the time being, with so many museums being closed. How often are the hours scraped and reposted? Or were these entered manually? It’s a nitpick, of course, but much of good design is attention to details like this. I would have left this section out; it’s unlikely this info would ever be maintained correctly.
