Design of 1-player and 0-player games is a topic that really interests me, but finding any coherent resources on it is a non-trivial task.

Aside from card solitaire reviews, Hesse's "glass-bead games" (aka Hipbone games [1]) and various articles on Game of Life, only [2] with [3] seems close enough to what I have in mind (+ variations on Jung's active imagination with tarot, surrealist games), mainly using board games as a tool for thought and modeling beyond the purview of classical game theory.

I would appreciate pointers in that direction.

As a bonus, if you are interested in abstract board games and eurogames, GIPF project [4] is worth checking out.

> If you doubt about the rigor of some study, by all means point the errors you find. In the meantime, I will trust those scientific studies more than subjective opinions in hackernews comments.

Maybe, but most published studies are close to pure garbage and even in clinical trials which is supposed to be the holy grail of Science there's cherry picking, improper design, and lack of repeatability across the board.

"Science" is only as good as the humans conducting it. Unfortunately us humans are pretty bad at doing Science.
I just want to take this moment to remind peeps:

So according to this article those of us on iOS 13.x (93% of the installed base) used to have one vulnerability, which we got patched through auto-updates 8 months ago. I'm quaking in my boots.

I hope you remember to point out the historical nature of this when you pass on the link.

> Bulk foreclosures and massive vacancies will hurt landlords and lenders respectively.

Will they? At least for commercial real estate in large cities where shops are going bust due to high rents, it is often claimed that owners are fine with letting the space stay unoccupied for long periods of time, because they are playing some kind of long game.
In the case of everything working smoothly that model may play out. But if you get a client that times out, or worse, a slow connection then they used one of your workers for a long time in a synchronous model. In the async model this has less of a footprint as you are still accepting other connections despite the slow progress of one of the workers.
Yes. I thought Dark Mode was some cool hipster shit until it shipped in iOS. I enabled it just to see what all the fuss was about. I love it and I'll never go back. For me the win is noticeably reduced eyestrain.

OTOH I know people who tried it and hated it. Just because I like it doesn't mean you have to like it. I think it's awesome to have choices.
Or you could get round the block by just spelling the word correctly.
Yes, for sure, that's an even better example. GraalVM is a good recent thing showing the strength of many implementations.
I have already done it, ChromeOS and Android development experience.
Possibly nim as well. But We should be able to provide interop between llvm and gcc so they can all cross pollinate in some way? Not saying it’s easy, nor that I have the skills to do it, but we should be able to build across boundaries and stop soloing so much?
Is that not exactly the point? "It's not unions that are bad, it's the concept of union jobs. Collective agreements would solve the problem you're pointing out."?
I think they were discussing the subject of, how our conscious estimation of our subjective experience can be way off. Which is a legitimate point?

> Integrating the 0 function gives us back the 0 function so it's a kind of counter-example to the fundamental theorem of calculus.

I guess that is one way to think about it, but if that is the case you can just differentiate a constant function and you the fundamental theorem of calculus won't return it to you (if you don't like that example just take the Heaviside function). In finite dimensional linear spaces, the derivative operator has a rank 1 kernel, but the integral does not. From that perspective, the derivative destroys information (specifically it destroys constants), the integral operator cannot restore it automatically and the whole + C is meant to identify an equivalence class for the indefinite anti-derivative.

That "long game" requires a landlord with particularly high reserves to pay the property's expenses AND an expectation that the return from selling the property down the line will be greater than the missed rent.
After digging a bit into math approach to music, I'd agree with mhh__. Music is the business of making vibrations sound good. Definition of "good" is cultural and changes with times (see Devil's interval). The standard mathematical approach to music starts from axioms that are only applicable to western music and imply no evolution.

Maybe linguistic methods would serve composers better, as they deal in similar problems: how to to create meaningful whole from meaningless parts that relate to each other in complex way. Just as linguistics, music involves not only the mechanics of ear sensing, but also pattern recognition machine that likes to have just the right amount of repetition, and just the right amount of new stuff.
But you are aware of journal articles as well, dont't you?

I think the design that made sense stopped with Win XP. The following iterations just make less and less sense and I'm a win user since 3.1.
This has been discussed at least a couple of times before but maybe I have a new angle:

Somewhere during the last three years or so I realized I'm one of those people who can hardly see mental images. Even my dreams seems to often be just feelings og having been somewhere and done something.

However I can draw bikes my house and everything else that I know well (and I often have too draw things since I cannot keep mental models in my head.)

Why is this, how can I draw something I cannot project in my head? Is it just because I understand it so well that if I try to draw it wrong my mind hurts?

PS: My drawings are not nice, but they are somewhat correct, the frame makes sense, the chain is in the correct place etc etc.

PPS: I keep wondering if I always was like this or if I lost it at some time (if I lost it my best guess is there's a mild form of something like PTSD because of a bunch of stuff that happened from I was 15 to 25).
The purpose of an armed populace isn't to "win" tactically, it's to win strategically and psychologically. It's basically like a poison pill clause, you want to make totalitarian takeover so unpallatable that every victory is a pyrrhic one. You want to force the occupiers to have to choose between killing your own countrymen or defecting, setting up more of a resistance. All the while, you shine light on all the atrocities.

With a sparsely-armed populace, it's easy for the occupying force to roll through without much conflict or challenging decisions.

Winning occurs through attrition of the occupiers, which, unlike Vietnam, can't just "back out".
There are like 10 major JVMs around between commercial, open source and research variants.

Well, to go meta, you get about 80% of the way with 20% of "insight porn". After a while it's just repetition, rephrasing and marketing. Self help and business growth mindset etc whatever we call this can become a trap in itself. Go out, do something boring and you'll learn more through that than reading little enlightening maxims. Sure some of it is helpful. Read some Kahnemann, some Taleb, some Marcus Aurelius, some classic novels etc. Reading can be good, you don't have to learn everything on your own example. But it's often the case that these lessons are only intelligible in hindsight. You may feel like you intellectually understood it and got some insight orgasm from it, but getting some actual stuff done then becomes more beneficial. Advice always depends on where you are now. It's never generic.

These materials also put a lot of emphasis on the weird, the counterintuitive, the quirky, the paradoxical. But what you actually need to know first is the solid default normal way the world works. This can be learned from "boring" old textbooks, not from shiny new strange theories. Whenever you read something new about a surprising new discovery about the brain or physics or AI or whatever, think about whether you even know what the straightforward, non-counterintuitive result would have been. Do you even know the basics, the foundations or just have a large collection of curious bits and pieces of nice cocktail party did-you-know material?
>The first time Linkedin jumped the shark for me when they suggested I add the random dude I sold a couch too on craigslist to My Professional Network. I'd used a throwaway email and only texted the dude 1x. I only randomly remembered who he was after Linkedin suggested him to me because his first and last name rhymed and when he picked up the couch I thought his name was kind of interesting. It was so weird and sketched me out quite a bit as we were in completely different industries and I had no idea how linkedin associated us.

This is exactly what spooked me about use LinkedIn. That was many years ago, too. The feeling of "how in the ffffuu did they know about that person" was nauseating.
Big company, but having worked at and for Intel I would not be surprised. I don’t have nice things to say about Intel.
Yes?

You said 'Nationally accredited. Not regionally accredited. Hence useless for academic purposes.'

But, as Stanford and Harvard show us, being neither nationally nor regionally accredited does not make it useless for academic purposes. Saying they don't need accreditation - yeah that was my point.

I once interviewed with Jim Keller. He was incredibly down to earth and when I pointed out that I wouldn't have ever expected to get an interview with the guy who developed the Athlon 64, he laughed and said that it wasn't he who designed it---it was the huge team of engineers following his guidance. So I got the impression that Jim wasn't looking to take all the credit.
I think you can derive enough real analysis to define the Cantor function using only ZFC. You can read the axioms in [1], but they are very simple and “obvious” so to speak. What’s more interesting is where ZFC is known to be incomplete. Cantor’s continuum hypothesis is known to be unprovable in ZFC, which is fun the think about.

Thanks a lot for commenting, very helpful.

You're right, the current problem is drawing people to understanding and using the clock. Changing the way people perceive time isn't easy. However, it's a great challenge and that's what I'm currently working and focusing on.

I like your example of the telephone, the adoption trigger is definitely very similar. There has to be at least 2 parties in different time zones using it in order to get its benefits.

To your question, it's currently a webpage, you can check it out on https://thehtime.com. Basically I'm experimenting with it as a webpage. Once/if this works, I have many ideas of other products that can be built on top of it.

- What could be a better hook for you if I may ask?
- Do you work/communicate across time zones yourself?
Evicting millions of people (or foreclosing in the case of houses) is a recipe for disaster for the whole country. If there were tons of employed people waiting on renting a place than from a business standpoint it makes sense. However if you toss people out on the street for non-payment, you still don't get any money, and you make life difficult for all those people. Yet the property itself might be foreclosed on if no rent comes in, and that owner might owe money to some bank and be shut down, but then the bank is holding properties it can't unload. In the end the whole real estate market collapses. There is no easy solution, and we in the US have no political answers either (especially today). But in the end the banks are getting cheap/easy money from the Fed and are less likely to suffer than all the preceding layers. But even that money will eventually cause mass "stagflation" because its not free either.

I have no good idea how the country will look in 3 months.
This hit me personally (somewhat) yesterday - I'm not being evicted, but learned that my apartment was rented out from me during the COVID-19 crisis (used in past tense) yesterday. Struggling with enough other things that a move certainly wasn't envisioned in my future.

I was already dealing with a ton of uncertainty, but this one now takes the cake.

Unfortunately, I was predicting something like this while volunteering at the homeless shelter. More people are closer to being homeless than they realize. Little did I know it might be me.
I understand the frustration at having changes work against muscle memory, but you can still navigate the UI as you described - it's just that "Options" is bundled under "View" now. alt,v,y,enter or alt,v,y,o will open the options dialog. The hints are now hidden until you hit alt now though =/
I read a study on international power polarities, and they noted that truly independent tripolar was among the most stable configurations from a game theory perspective.

Broadly summarizing, the potential for the remaining tie-breaker to defect to either side tends to keep participants honest, even if they're bitterly opposed.

Did you switch within the same company? I have made attempts to apply to Solutions Engineer and Developer Advocate roles to match how my personality has changed over time, but have found that no one responds to my resume / applications, even when I have spent several years teaching, consulting, and building content and demos on the side to supplement my engineering experience and prove I can do the job. I immediately get responses and enthusiasm when I apply as Senior Software Engineer, but it seems people are skeptical of why I would want to change to Solutions Engineer or Developer Advocate when the title is not already on my resume.
Never occurred to me to play a board game solo as a kid either, and I used to bring my NES controller and a Super Mario Brothers 3 Strategy Guide full of maps to my grandmother's to pretend to play through the game.

But I design board games now, and boy do I ever play my own games against myself now. I'll play up to 4 players solo for playtesting purposes, no problem. So far the only types of games that it's seemed pretty impossible to do this with are social deduction and party games.
I don't think the idea of 'content control' is a bad one at all, as in you may want to filter out offensive content etc. It's just that it's very dumb to spell out the exact type of controversial words/content you can use to filter out, when just explaining the feature to the customer would be enough, they will get the idea.
Is it? I mean, serious question - aren't they they same thing? What IS our subjective experience if not our conscious estimation of how we experienced the thing? Is it possible to think you're enjoying something when really you're not, and if so then what the heck does that even mean?

Hey, that's what we do at Datapane! https://docs.datapane.com/tutorials/tut-creating-a-report - you can create a standalone HTML report which contains interactive tables and plots.

You can also publish this to the web (https://datapane.com/leo/reports/stock_report_5d2925b9/), embed it into social media (https://medium.com/@leo_26134/embedding-with-datapane-366e60...), or deploy your Jupyter Notebook or Python script so that other people can run them with parameters to generate reports dynamically.

It's still pretty new, so if there's anything you'd like to see, give me a shout at leo [at] datapane.com.
FWIW, Rustc not having multiple implementations is exactly the reason why I'm not looking into it for serious projects (1). OTOH, JavaScript being ubiquitous is the reason I can spend time on projects with a certain depth and commitment (though JavaScript ES6+ isn't nearly as ubiquitous as it was until ES5, with only two major implementations left), knowing that a multi-year development effort isn't torpedoed by language churn.

1) and I personally don't believe in a "one language to rule them all" behemoth but rather in small, focused languages and tools in a polyglot/Unix fashion

How is this result surprising? The point of coroutines isn't to make your code execute faster, it's to prevent your process sitting idle while it waits for I/O.

When you're dealing with external REST APIs that take multiple seconds to respond, then the async version is substantially "faster" because your process can get some other useful work done while it's waiting. Obviously the async framework introduces some overhead, but that bit of overhead is probably a lot less than the 3 billion cpu cycles you'll waste waiting 1000ms for an external service.

Because the SQL will not be the same. In complex cases, SQL generated by an ORM will do a combination of "more than it needs to" and plain inefficient queries. It can only do so much with what it knows about the database and the API used to call it.

Hand-written SQL gives the author a chance to be more precise in its needs, not only in the SQL but also by pre-generating obvious indexes to be performant from the get-go.

London. Everyone likes to bemoan it usually, but you have connections via metro, train, tram, bus, boat or cycle to pretty much every major location in and around.

Alongside that you also have (putting aside the longstanding battle between them) a plethora of on-demand taxi services.

There are decent (although not high speed) train connections to most other major cities in the UK and even to continental Europe, there's an airport literally 10 minute car ride from the financial district, and two major European airports under 30 mins train ride away (obviously all dependent on your starting location within the metro area).

As an integrated system it's not perfect, but I'd certainly argue it's a viable aspiration for many cities to hit "good".
