i think non-ascension (lowest difficulty) spire is pretty close to guaranteeing that you're able to win every run.

many people who play a lot of the game prefer to play at higher difficulties. for me the main reason is that at low difficulty a significant % of my time is spent going through the motions in a run that's already won, where almost any choice will still win and so my relevance as a player disappears, and my enjoyment of the game increases as the % of the time that my decisions appear relevant increases.

i've played ~5,000 hours of the game and thanks to high difficulties i'd guess at least 4,000 of those hours have been engaging gameplay, whereas if the game had never released higher difficulties maybe only 1,500/5,000 would have been interesting.

it sucks that some runs just end up being losses for pretty much any reasonable player, but at least even in losses there is usually engaging decision-making up until the end, since you can almost always find some out to play toward which will let you win with a bit of luck, and you can't tell ahead of time that you won't succeed at hitting that out. easy wins where you get enough stuff to beat the endboss in 10 minutes but still have 30+ minutes of gameplay left are less desirable in my experience.

it's a nice design goal for a game to just always be engaging, but very few games like this come close to achieving that goal. i'd say ascension 20 spire is closer than anything else i've ever played.
It's not about 'informal definitions'. I also really like informal definitions but not the way that most mathematicians currently tend to write them.

There are a few. Things like the way addresses are given out (appending your Mac address to the local prefix), large address spaces (IPv6 could number every atom in existence and then some) which then permits getting rid of NAT, and especially CGNAT (carrier grade NAT).

Generally speaking the administrative hacks which enable the internet to keep going as-is can go away. NAT in particular breaks lots of applications which is why STUN/TURN servers are needed for many VoIP applications today, so that two NATed clients can talk directly.

The address space issues mean that even if the registry gives out silly allocations (like the UK's MoD having a /8) the space is so near infinite that it won't matter. Even the most incompetent governance can't exhaust the address space.

Reminds me of "the world is its own best model" and the subsumption architecture of Rodney Brooks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption_architecture
Yeah, I know, I read those instructions in full ;) I do have to admit that I am pleasantly surprised at how much is made accessible, I was fully prepared for this to be an opportunity to enforce mandatory codesigning, removing the ability to disable SIP or load code into the kernel, turn off secure boot, etc. but so far pretty much everything seems to be technically possible, which is nice.

However, I do still stand by my complaint; neither of us can go into too much detail of course but I think you understand that taking chips that were made to run iOS and with hardware-backed guarantees of certain properties for integrity on consumer systems makes for a poor experience when trying to do things like debug and patch the kernel. I mean, is it theoretically possible to debug the kernel? Yes, because they have been enabled superficially, but the experience of using them is much worse than you’d get on Intel (and not to mention developer-fused hardware). Personally I was only able to get it to work partially, and suspect it is even more broken/limited than how the KDK says it is; here is what I’m talking about: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/653319. If you aren’t aware, it took almost three weeks before someone could get a “hello world” up, so there is a real drag associated with this.

Again, I’m happy and pleasantly surprised to have these things, at least on macOS; it’s completely possible that these are just unintentional bugs or transitional issues or whatever, if they end up fixed I promise I will stop complaining about this particular thing. But I would like to emphasize that I do not consider the current state of affairs as laid out by the KDK to really count, regardless of the effort being put into this to make it work, which I fully understand helps back up the claim that “the Mac remains the Mac”.

> Should people be allowed to aggregate that information? It literally cannot be stopped so I think the point is moot.

Just because you can't stop something doesn't mean you shouldn't even try. Otherwise we might skip having laws altogether.

... and, if you don't have Serial-over-LAN (SOL) access via IPMI, etc., you can always just wire the serial port up to another host to give yourself access to that serial port remotely.

Then, just SSH in to the other host and use something like "minicom" to connect directly to the serial port -- or use "conserver" (mentioned in TFA) when you've got multiple consoles and/or multiple users to deal with simultaneously.

Plenty of HN'ers are all-in on "cloud" but for anyone dealing with physical devices (routers, servers, whatever), remote access to the console can be a lifesaver at times!

To your first point, you can go out to the street and bring home someone’s random dna, but there is no way you’d ever be able to know who’s dna it was.

... unless you were to look it up maybe, in this leaked dna database.

Dna is not inherently an identifier. It needs the lookup code in order to act as one. A database like this MAKES it no longer a secret.

Because nvidia optimus drivers are not open sourced and a huge PITA in some linux distros/desktop environments who wish to stay as FOSS as possible.

Not a problem on desktops since they don't have optimus but on laptops without a proper optimus implementation for linux you'll end up with your 1660TI or whatever running at full blast with just your terminal opened, killing your battery in no-time and turning your laptop into a frying pan.

That's why linux devs prefer no nvidia dGPUs on their laptops.
I've seen the interview in June, and was following Joscha's twitter feed since.

Although a lot of good stuff, some of his views are a bit perplexing:

* If his offspring would turn homosexual, he'd be sad about them being "evolutionary dead-end" (tho, he'd still support them in any way possible) - cannot find the tweet now, he probably deleted it

* He expresses a dim view of US' future (its institutions) esp. in the light of current events. It's sometimes visible in his tweets and speeches. But he's so vague in his predictions, that 10 years down the road I wouldn't be able to tell if he have been right or wrong no matter what the situation will be

tangent point: the company he currently works for - AI Foundation - had some deal/interaction with our dear Deepak Chopra - who is as anti-intellectual as a public persona can be - so my question is 'why' - tho this could be before Joscha's tenure there... but still it feels bad (https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20191205005164/en/Dee...) (https://aifoundation.com/author/lars_butler/)

But he loves Stanislaw Lem, and according to the interview he was the first author that he felt was worth reading his books had profound impact on him when he was young, so that's nice, b/c Lem is a genius - who is also a bit underrated in the western world - as opposed to the former eastern block :)

The user joshuaissac gave a very good description of a 'field' as a response to my comment and it was about the same length as the definition on Wikipedia. It shows that it's possible.

I don't see why certain knowledge should be out of reach of those who are not involved directly in that field. I could explain complex software engineering concepts to a layman. They wouldn't be able to use that knowledge to implement the software themselves, but they would be able to use the knowledge to make good high level decisions about it; for example to decide which of two solutions is better given a specific problem.
Imho it holds up quite well.

Here's an article I wrote about it when flash was still a thing:

Maybe not enjoy, but there are certainly people who are much less affected, or not affected at all, by it.

These media stories always focus on those who picked the wrong job for their caracter, and then make a big drama of it.

I mean, there are people cutting open other humans daily. We call them surgeons. I would puke right there and could never do that. Different people have different abilities. Simple.
There is that video game called robocraft where you build robots and fight with them. There I learned to put all vital stuff in one place, because when you are dead you are dead. Spreading the weak spots around a body only increases the danger. A lobster will neither survive blind, nor without mouth, nor without antenna.
The inability to use data is maddening.

Excess deaths is not the same thing as "deaths caused by COVID". This conflation relies on the assumption that you can virtually empty hospitals out and have no effect on mortality at all, which is absurd. What are all those surgeons doing, exactly?

If COVID is so deadly, why do some countries show no difference in excess deaths vs previous years?
Not to justify it the way things are but to share a bit of my philosophy:

Job hunts are a campaign. If you're pretty good you'll land a job but you might not land every job.

While this varies from company to company generally resumes get you interviews and interviews get you jobs.

Even if you have a 95% pass rate for any one interviewer, you're at like 77% for passing a 5 person panel. Good but hardly a guarantee.

But if you have even three job interviews, the chance that you'll get atleast one is 98.7%. Not so bad!

Sure it's a bit hand-wavy but I hope it takes the edge off this interviewing business for you the way it does for me.

Cheers!

> Also, with most cloud hosting (AWS et. al.) it’s fairly trivial to enable dual stack support.

I say AWS IPv6 support is pretty atrocious. You still can not set up pure IPv6 VPC, even for internal use, afaik most AWS services are still accessible only through IPv4, IPv6 VPC has lots of weird limitations, etc etc. Somewhat sad, considering that one would think AWS would be one to benefit from v6
I'm not talking about taking random samples off a sidewalk. I'm saying if you follow a person you know and collect something they've discarded, now they're in the database.

IPv6 can do that too though! 6in4 is exactly equivalent to the proposed EIP extension. EIP still splits the internet into the old legacy v4 internet and the new EIP internet that cannot communicate with the old internet, since while you can send packets to a v4-only host it won't know what to do with it. You need to preserve this extra information - and IPv4 simply cannot do that. You cannot fit more than 32 bit of information into 32 bit..

How would a windows device be closer to that goal? All you would need to make it work is some kind of standardized protocol for how IOT devices advertise data and controls.

The only thing Windows would "do better" would be adding layers of proprietary software and telemetry which would probably reduce performance and make it harder to work with.
I have only recently learned this and I too was surprised it's not a GNU project, and even more so it's not GPL-compatible.

The power is the existing giant corpus of video. When I'm in front of a computer I'm going to run this up against the dancing of James Brown and Michael Jackson. Should be interesting.

I'd also like to point out that it is also frequent that one encounters equivalent but different formal definitions for the same mathematical structures, and this is why the informal descriptions are important as well.
Collecting Milkweed Seeds for Illegal Planting[video]
Practical for an algorithm implementer, maybe - deeply impractical for real-world use. Stereo cameras are rare and nontrivial (you have to synchronize shutters). Monocular algorithms can be applied to the millions of hours of existing footage, or used with the billions of cameras, smartphones, robots, drones, and fancy doorbells that already exist right now.
One thing you also have to consider (siblings comment are good too) is that the oil price are ridiculously low. This might seems like a good news, it's not.

It makes mining cheaper (good news in the short-term) but also it reduce the incentive to invest in capital-intensive oil rigs. And this will probably mean a small oil shock two years from now. Also, while i did not have the possibility to look directly inot Rystad[0]'s data in 2019, i've talked to people who did and Rystad's predictions about above-ground issue resolution were really, really optimist and still estimated a 1% contraction of european oil supply in 2029 (last time it happened were 2007 and 2009).

Not only counting covid effect on oil-producing countries population hunger but also ISIS resurgence and the continuing crisis in Lybia, i think it would not be dumb to bet on no growth at all in the eurozone.

Hi everyone! I wrote the article. It's great to see it shared here on HackerNews. The people buildings today's tools and technologies are exactly the people that I want to reach!

So many developers still feel like Flash was the most amazing thing that ever happened to them in their creative careers.

For building today’s platforms and technologies, it is important to remember what made Flash great, but it is at risk of being forgotten because Flash will no longer be supported after December 2020.

I’d like to spread the message to influence and inspire the next generation of tool creators!

They seem to be on the lower end of recognition in general so that might have something to do with it (statistical variation)

Side note but I'm surprised that Diamonds and Pearls rather than any other 90's Prince song charted in the Top 5, especially compared to other singles from that album.
All I see is pulling on the threads and crucially no judgement in the process in a transparent passionless matter. The email tracing could have lead to some shmuck with a compromised or long inactive account co-opted after another breach and he followed up on it instead of simply assuming guilt. The damn FBI could learn tricks from him on proper investigation without assumptions appears to be the goal more than trying to find what they want (incrimination of some sort).
It makes it really uncomfortable to use when you're not connected to a larger screen. If I'm buying a laptop, I want a decent screen for when I'm not sitting at my desk. If I didn't care about that, I wouldn't be buying a laptop in the first place.

You may underestimate how much of shit companies care. T-Mobile Netherlands have been sending me plenty of private information about one of their customers for months (their customer signed up using a.person@gmail.com as their email address, I've held the aperson@gmail.com account since 2006, hence I receive the emails).

I've tried escalating this with them multiple times, each time they insist that I won't receive any more emails, until the next one arrives. I also tried threatening them with taking it up with whichever authority is relevant if they don't fix it and reminded them about the 20m Euro or 4% of global turnover fine they could incur, yet still keep receiving this poor saps information.
They are both unicode. A `String` is unicode encoded as `UTF-8` whereas a `char` is simply a single, un-encoded, code point.

An array of `char` would technically be UTF-32. Which isn't particularly useful, imho.

That, despite the software being open-source and therefore more likely to have bugs spotted, and despite having a bug bounty program, the auditing company found a moderate, therefore they must be thorough.
