To reduce deployment complexity. One or the primary goals of Typesense is simplicity. While writing a raft implementation myself would have been tricky, integrating with a consensus library made sense.
Action games can't be server side fully. Latency would make the game unworkable. So you'll get wall hacks and speed hackers, and aim bots, and trigger bots. You can ban them post facto but its a continual cat and mouse game with detection and avoidance.
This is for the Palo Alto HQ as well. Tesla HQ is one of the most densely packed open office plan I have seen. It’s going to spread like a meat packing plant if the workers are asked to come back.
Indeed, I think it's the slowness which killed it more than anything.

Also I remember it supported a very limited subset of CSS even for the time and no way to make websites dynamic since there were no JS, that for sure did not help.
The demand for Tesla's seems to be very strong. Also, arguably, the people who would consider buying Tesla are the ones who are less affected by covid economically than the ones who buy cheaper cars
Opensource does make things cheaper at scale. Some of those SaaS services run software that is or based on opensource. This is especially true when you have multiple SaaS companies providing services based on the same opensource software. Even closed source software benefits from using libraries with permissive licenses.

The part that's not cheap is running software yourself, regardless of whether it's open or closed source.

Is there nothing around that you can use as makeshift weights? When I was at high school and couldn’t afford a gym membership I used a bunch of old telephone directories as makeshift weights.

Pull ups are one of the easier problems to solve at home. You can get bars for your doorway that extend out like stair gates. Or if you have a fat enough door frame and strong enough fingers you could pull up directly from the frame (I used to do this too).

Obviously you know your situation better than I do so I’m not meaning any of the above to sound preachy. I also get that proper equipment makes a world of difference and using improper equipment can add an element of risk.

I use both gentoo and debian. I find it hard for either one to replace the other. I can't let go of the control gentoo gives me and as you noted the smooth and stable binary based debian let's you get the job done fast with little hustle. I try to mix and match, using gentoo as a minimalist and debian as a full blown desktop or prod network(http,etc...) server.

I was always curious if a p2p hosted game with host log shipping to a "validation" server would work for a game. People could run a tournament but validation servers would reject or accept a game. Not sure if humans would go for that. Maybe if the game was super up front about it.
What's your take on the estimated death toll from the lockdowns?

I've seen projections of 1.4m additional deaths from tuberculosis over the next 5 years, half a million cancer deaths, and pretty much uncountable additional deaths from other reasons (suicide, substance, hunger, lack of exercise among elderly).

The list goes too long - for example, people stopped coming to ER for strokes and heart attacks (a 40% decrease of ER visits) and die at home. There are 200m additional people now on the edge of starvation.

I also note a correlation between a country's wealth and level of healthcare. If a country has less money, it typically has less healthcare and more deaths from ridiculous, easily preventable causes. Having a good economy appears to save lives and improve life outcomes across the board.

Nope. It's for one or the either. Not both. It was never for the latter and frankly, it's less and less about about the former.

Right and "hackers" can question it as well.

I've been thinking about this recently, and personally, I find some weird sense of empowerment in identifying as a gamer. All my life I've been thinking of gaming as some sort of defective personality trait, like overeating in reaction to stress or being lazy. And as far as gaming has made it in the public sphere, I still don't think it's really respected as a hobby. If anything, it's much worse than it used to be, because now people will also assume that you're a racist/sexist/xenophobe.

I imagine there's a similar parallel in being a "hacker". When a hacker is a kid, they're rebellious because they're intelligent and bored in their schoolwork[1]. And they like to take things apart and figure out how they work, and they're not totally understood by the rest of society that just wants them to settle down and conform to a set of social rules. I imagine that that kid would find the identity as a hacker to be empowering. And I think that is empowering because it's finally saying to this kid that his behavior is actually useful and good for the world, if he can harness it in the right way.

One final small point: I don't think that people necessarily always "consume" video games. Building games, like Minecraft/Factorio/Terraria/Starbound/Oxygen_Not_Included/Satisfactory/Stardew_Valley don't seem particularly consumptive to me. I struggle to identify competitive games as consumptive either. If I play a game of soccer with friends, I don't say that I'm "consuming" the game of soccer. So why shouldn't the same apply to Fortnite? Then there are single player games that don't fit the builder profile. But a lot of single player games aren't necessarily consumptive either. Recently I've been playing Dark Souls 1, and while some of my experience in that game could be called consumptive, I don't think all of it does. A lot of that game is figuring out how it works, building a strategy to combat a boss, and what I'm doing there is not exactly consumptive.

I try to think like this. However I have this notion, which could be wrong, in that you ought to share your work with others to get feedback on how to get better. It's happened to me a lot in other domains like programming: I'll work on a thing, be proud of it and release it only to get fairly critiqued on this one detail I never noticed until they pointed it out. Sometimes these are so fundamental I end up going back to the drawing board.

I don't understand how to get that kind of insight completely alone. I'm convinced there will be things I will just not notice by myself. Then again expecting to be read is a huge mental blocker to the order of not producing anything at all, so I guess it's partly a trade-off.

And sometimes I'm unable to convince myself I'm improving or doing the right thing, which presses me to expect to be read more. Personally I always want to get better, and a likely failing of this is I see less value in what I do if I can't see improvement.
I’m not familiar with Jiu-Jitsu specifically but I have trained in a few martial arts, Japanese and western, and they usually have routines you can practice on your own. Is the same not true for Jiu-jitsu?

With the bored sports, while you obviously couldn’t train your board skills, you could still keep working on those muscles and stamina at home through different training exercises.

I agree none of this is the same as going to your gym et al, but my point wasn’t that you could do identical training at home. It was that you could do something similar to at least keep yourself reasonably sharp.
We can play this game, I started on Linux with 0.99pl15 but I can pretty much guarantee you given this place someone will show up within an hour who got on the train in '92 and within a day someone who did in '91.

Python is a great tool in that it is easy for starting developers and useful experts alike.

Zapier is a great starting tool but quickly breaks down for anything more complex.

If you’re a SaaS app that has complex “use cases” then sending users to Zapier to have them figure it out doesn’t work. Instead, you can build your usecase on a tool like Integry.io (yes, founder here), embed the integration in your SaaS and have a clean UX.

Ultimately, you don’t want your users figuring out what triggers, actions, steps, mappings, transforms, validations are. People don’t buy integrations, they just want their tools to work together and tools like Zapier and tray can still be too complex.

Google Says Most of Its Employees Will Likely Work Remotely Through End of Year
How does one model 4D gravity? Consider the 3D to 2D analogy. If the 2D person lived on a planet, that would be a circle. Then 2 planets orbiting each other would appear to the 2D person as two line segments oscilating up and down (because the 2D person cannot see the entire circle, just the edge view). Based on the velocity of oscillation and the separation of the line segments, a 2D newton could come up with an analogous law of gravition with an inverse square relation. But if two 3d planets were orbiting transversely through the 2D plane of our inhabitants, the 2D person would see two separate line segments growing and shrinking although the line segments could maintain a constant distance of separation. The velocity of growing and shrinking would be changing even though their separation was constant. Extending this analogy to our universe makes me wonder if our calculation that the universe is expanding is just an illusion. Rather, at astronomical distances, our universe could be traversing 4 dimensions. And what we perceive as an accelerating expansion of the universe is just motion into the 4th dimension. And if we could travel into that dimension, we might be able to get to places that appear far away but are actually not. Though it sounds far fetched, it also might explain the stuff that is postulated to happen at the quantum scale-where quantum fluctuations are postulated to occur. The only thing we would need to be able to do is to 'coordinate' the fluctuations of lots of adjacent voxels of space. And then we could wander through 4D space.
Even a small thing like that is a great example of how Google and AWS treat backwards compatibility fundamentally differently. AWS really doesn't EOL things, no matter how 'minor' the impact would be. Look at SimpleDB - it was launched in 2007 and has very clearly been deprecated in favor of DynamoDB[0]. It's not even in the console(!). Yet, it's still operational and usable with the AWS CLI. Everything about it screams "could have been EOL'd years ago", yet AWS dogs on in supporting it and everything else it's ever released until the end of time.

Tesla just closed their Shanghai factory and is being evasive about why.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/07/tesla-reportedly-halts-car-p...

I don’t know anything about how Tesla is dealing with this in their factory, but nothing about Musk’s recent comments suggest rational consideration or cautious planning.
If I’m going into an interview, I’ll usually prepare some questions in advance.

But I’m terrible at coming up with questions during dynamic meetings. I find that I need time to reflect on topics before I can form a clear idea of what I need to ask.

This has backfired several times, usually in meetings with sharp businesspeople (who are so good at asking pointed questions!). Does anyone have tips on how to get better at this?
Eh. I think it's a risky gamble.

It does depend on the context. If it was asked in the context of a casual conversation, say in between sessions -- it's ok.

But when I, the interviewer, am asking "do you have any questions for me?" during an interview, I invariably mean it in a professional context. Answering with "what did you have for lunch?" seems to cross the professionalism line somewhat (why the hell do you need to know what I ate?), and may not be appreciated by many. I wouldn't go as far as to outright dismiss the candidate's viability, but for me personally, it's comes across as weird and non-self-aware rather than funny.

(also, as someone who watches a lot of stand-up, I also have a high threshold for humor -- I'm kinda of a humor snob. I like light-heartedness, but contrived failed attempts at humor are grating to me because they often indicate someone's trying too hard. There's an inauthenticity there that rubs me the wrong way.)

So even if you're right, the trouble is an interviewee might not be able to tell a priori if they got someone like you or someone like me. So it's risky.

(otoh, "what are some good lunch spots around here, in your opinion?", mentioned by another commenter, is almost always positive and indicates a candidate's interest in the workplace environment)
I really enjoy the storage strategy for EnTT. Other ECS games I had known the architecture for were a lot more rigid in terms of space, and it's nice to see more flexibility in that aspect.
What are the 11 other startups ideas?

Fossil is awesome, but (currently) would not scale to Facebook-size repos. It seems to be fine with long histories (lots of commits), but bogs down on lots of files (based on discussions surrounding a large repo considering moving to fossil).

For personal projects, it’s absolutely the bees knees. I can have multiple checkouts of the same repo, ask fossil about every single repo I have, has a really pleasant CLI, has a web-interface (which I personally hardly use anymore), manages tickets, ... sort of github in-a-box, but more pleasant.
Sure, you could argue that. It would be a terrible argument though.

Why do I owe a commercial enterprise anything? They demonstrated repeatedly they cannot be trusted. In obvious and extreme fashion.

Anti-aliasing isn't enough, because of hinting. So they had to use FontForge to recreate old-looking fonts! I really like the retro scrollbar as well.

The suspicion may also be induced by other software.

Ever tried early RStudio (or even current) on a crappy work-issued laptop?
And I don't mean R, I mean the UI elements.

This is a great piece of software, certainly more than a text editor. But it isn't as fast and snappy as a native editor, far from it. It's tolerable now, but it used to be pretty bad on non beefy hardware.

At the same time, native IDEs did not have that issue at all.
> In theory you’d be right but I the reason I asked is because there’s usually workouts you can still do at home to keep at least some of those muscles in shape

Right, but you asked 'what workouts are they that cannot be done without access to a gym' and you're suggesting other workouts to keep the same muscles working. Yeah fine, but that's not the same workout, which is what you asked.
Is this legal argument actually any good?

It seems like the major claim is that Alameda County's order "overrides an express order of the Governor of California," which doesn't make much sense to me. Newsom's order said that individuals working in critical infrastructure sectors are exempt from staying at home. I don't see how Alameda County saying Tesla must stay closed contradicts Newsom saying Tesla employees could go to work, if their workplace was open. Seems sorta weaksauce to interpret an exemption for individuals from a stay at home order as a order than Tesla must remain open.

Anyway, seems like a mess, will be interesting to see what happens with this.
"Which models" the ones projecting 2.2 million deaths... the ones based on 4% fatality rates.

"do you think it would be safe" With the data thats coming out? Yes. Absolutely. COVID is turning out to only be a little more dangerous than the Flu and "lockdowns" are not slowing or stopping the spread of the virus.

"How can someone get to this position"

Honestly... January WHO was saying COVID didn't pass person to person and models were predicting 2.2 million dead in the US alone.

I'm not making a prediction... I'm casting aspersions on the "predictions" that have been used to feed opinions like "do you think it would be safe?" as if we are all going to die - 99.5% of those who get it survive. Worse than the flu but not worth shutting everything down (which hasn't stopped it at all - look at New York).

Personally I know we can protect those who need extra protections (Old, ill, etc) without unproven shutdowns based on faulty models fed with bad data.

Why do I feel this way? Because I know that hurricane predictions are "Scientific models" and are wrong just like "market predictions" and all other forms of prediction based models based on past data.
The financial industry is completely different now than it was 20+ years ago.

I understand your point, and I wouldn't just blindly take this advice, but I'm not sure this is the right comparison.
I think 2 years is not a lot with debt obligations during a pandemic that is slated to crush the auto industry.
I hadn't heard much about IPFS but the way this is built, with the immutability and hash keys etc, sounds very much like FreeNet. That's the first thing I thought of, and predates this by about 20 years. I remember when that promised to be the next big thing and save us from the commercialisation of the internet that was in full swing then.

Unfortunately, that didn't turn out very well. Let's just say the 'fringes of free speech' took the upper hand and really started defining the platform in the public view, to the point of being strongly associated with the platform. Why would you run a node if it was mainly used for horrible stuff. Same as what happened to tor services, but to a bigger extent.

I really believe in the idea freedom of speech. But some kind of control is unfortunately needed. Otherwise a platform like this will always spiral out of control and kill itself. I think it's one of those things that sounds great in theory but doesn't work in real life.

Perhaps some kind of user voting could be implemented, but it would be extremely slow, too slow to catch up with new content being published. It's a very hard thing to tackle. Free speech is unfortunately not as black and white as its advocates like to see it.
Here's a really weird option, no idea if this works for anyone but me, but: go for a run before the meeting. I've found it clears my brain of all the junk that's occupying it for a few hours, and lets me hone in on the topic being discussed. It's also a bit of a self confidence boost so I don't feel as anxious about whether the question might be perceived as dumb.

That isn't their argument they are presenting that as an example of how the county isn't being reasonable by saying one thing then acting contrary to their publicly stated guidance. Their core argument begins on page three paragraph 8 and is more about the county claiming to superseded the authority of the State and Federal government when they don't have the legal basis to do so.

I feel that complex workflows are best served by dedicated integrations, but it takes time for developers to build each integration natively into a product. We launched https://kloudless.com to simplify the process for app developers to natively integrate an entire category of SaaS services at once (I'm a co-founder).

Ignoring platforms like Salesforce, some of the "product" apps that we see adopting native integrations instead of directing users to Zapier include apps that require:

1) synchronous interactive integrations and not just background automation. e.g. a user pulling a lead from Salesforce into a marketing app.

2) complex/multi-step integrations that offer way better UX and much lower support costs to just build natively for users.

3) integrations as a competitive differentiator, or without requiring users to pay for third-party tools.

4) integrations without an API of their own to integrate to.

That said, there are always a long tail of apps and use cases so I'm certain we'll see more specialized tooling pop up to handle specific complex workflows.
I had severe acidity issue and ended up in a condition called Barrett's esophagus . Doctor advised me to Omeprazole 40mg life long. After taking it for 6 months, i started following gluten free diet and all my gerd symptoms gone away. After 3 years, my Barrett's esophagus condition also reversed.
I was pointing that out because the other user seemed to think I was talking about a non-accelerated renderer. However, to access RT hardware and compute capabilities you need Vulkan nevertheless (or the non-portable ways that I guess Godot wants to avoid).

My original post was precisely about focusing on such a full RT renderer (via Vulkan). I am not an expert, so it may be a dumb idea, but it would be nice to have a FOSS production-quality renderer by the time full RT becomes a thing for more and more games.
