This echoes the situation at my current job. We have a lot of the things that this article describes. In particular, a couple of individuals get frequent praise for putting out fires that they caused in the first place. Meanwhile, the engineers who are contributing quality work are overlooked because they don't cause problems and don't make noise. It's a hard problem to solve because it often means that the managers or other employees are not seeing what is going on within their own organizations.
May be anecdotal but my family is friends with two parents, the father French and the mother American. They and their children lived a few years in France and Montréal, and they spoke the two languages at home. I remember two of their children (around 8-9 years old at the time), not being really fluent in any language, but actually quite mediocre at both. They would start a sentence in french, struggle on grammar or vocabulary, and end up giving up and finishing it in English. I can't imagine what it would be like with two more languages.
I wouldn't call it easy, but it is possible. The tools are not very polished, but they exist and are free... (start with Roblox Studio)
I built an implementation of this architecture in Python if you want to see how it works in code:

https://github.com/eamonnmr/OpenLockStep
The GOTO approach is better, so long as the FSM is abstracted away. An FSM implemented as GOTOs is great. An FSM + state internals implemented with GOTOs is a disaster.

You don't want to mix the FSM with the internals of the states. For example:

STATE_1:

result = state1.action();

if result == A THEN GOTO STATE_2

if result == B THEN GOTO STATE_7

Is okay. Complex internal logic is not:

STATE_1:

[ton of actions and logic]

if [ton of logic] THEN GOTO STATE_2

if [ton of logic] THEN GOTO STATE_7

If your states are more complex than that, it's a mess. Or if your language supports it:

STATE_1:

NEXT_STATE = state1.action()

GOTO NEXT_STATE

Again, modern language support is horrible for this sort of thing.

You can go one step up and make a generic FSM, with e.g. a Python dictionary of functions which return future states:

while True:

state = STATES[state.action()]
This sounds like the story Manna [1] by Marshall Brain.

In the first half of the story, employees are increasingly micro-managed by a centralized software program which becomes more sophisticated and ubiquitous over time until humanity becomes fungible.

Let me add on. Your average big tree (oak, pine, maple, etc) after about 10 years of age, collect about 40 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. Again, averages, there are plenty of factors.

I use that as a way to visualize the problem with "a solution".
Stefan Zweig's World of Yesterday captures how much of a shock it was to move from the progress-and-civilisation of his corner of the nineteenth century to the fake-news[1]-and-senseless-violence[2] of the twentieth (Zweig hung on after the first barbaric shock, but gave up after the second. I think Schachnovelle pretty much captures the mood he must've been in.)

It's become a real problem to discredit ideas that disagree with ones narrative even if they're from expert sources.
The most famous incident on the other hand is probably the one where a circus elephant was taken on the train as a publicity stunt in the 1950s, got understandably unhappy and bounced around enough that it and some people fell out of the train into the river.

I tried that hover bit, something I have picked up off of using Discord on the smartphone, but in many cases, while a label was attached, the actual meaning was unclear, as is true of a lot of slang. Normally you can decipher slang words via what that word or phrase is embedded in, looking for context, but for simple "the sentence is the emoji" bits, that was not available.

First is finding a local farmer and knowing their timeline for a harvest. In Western Washington, you can use http://www.tilthalliance.org/ to look up farmers by product (meat, veg, fruits, eggs, fish, etc.)

Reach out to farmers and see who actually has something available, ask any questions you have about how they raise the animal. Ask about their process for ordering and whether they'll transport to a butcher. Put a deposit down on an animal.

Once you've put your deposit down, you wait for your harvest date. In my case, they transported the animal to the butcher, where it hung for a couple weeks. During that time, you prepare a 'cut sheet'. This describes how you'd like the animal prepared -- steaks or roasts, ground meat or not, etc. The butcher can walk you through this and tell you what's common.

After a few weeks, the butcher will give you a call, your meat is ready! Drive there and load your car with hundreds of pounds of individually wrapped steaks, roasts, ground beef, stew meat, soup bones, etc. Drive home and load up your freezer, distribute to friends who went in on the purchase with you, etc.

Lastly, figure out lots of recipes. Learn to braise, sous vide, grill, make smashburgers, whatever. You are going to be eating a lot of beef, explore world cultures. There are so many different ways to prepare it, French is so different than German, Japanese is different than Korean, American is different than Mexican, etc. You have hundreds of pounds of beef to eat, variety is important.
I both built and played MUDs from 1994 - 2003. From your comments is seems like you didn't read the article.

Of course Roblox is not a text-based MUD. Not even the author is arguing that. Mechanically, it's incredibly similar in social dynamics, creativity and difference of worlds, and the fact that you can design your own world/mechnaics so easily.
I was going to say there's no way there's police budget for this kind of enforcement in the US but I would've been wrong:

So there's an interesting parallel in Rust with clippy, which is a linter that uses internal compiler data structures to parse and find the things to lint. This makes clippy very powerful, but very, very prone to breakage. Eventually, clippy was simply upstreamed into the compiler proper, which meant any refactoring of the compiler had to fix all the clippy lint at the same time.

Linux is similar with drivers. Linux breaks internal kernel ABI all the time, but all the drivers upstreamed into the kernel are automatically fixed when this happens.

According to OP post, Firefox and addons developer would communicate when breaking changes happened, to make sure an upgrade path was doable. I wonder if a Linux-like system where a repo with all addons that developers could land refactors on when landing breaking changes would have changed the dynamic somewhat, by reducing the "addons developer tax".
pilots don't really take up as much space on these planes as you'd think. these planes are huge. the F22 is over sixty feet long. if you replaced the pilot, controls and screens, weight wise you might get to carry one more AAMRAM, but that sucker is twelve feet long.
Yeah, I'm making a relatively dubious distinction between 'shitty' (which it is) and 'hard to find' (which it isn't particularly).
Very nice, but can you enable video controls?
It does take time, a large freezer, and money on hand. Not everyone has cash like that sitting around.
Ask HN: Do You Despise Marketing?
Ok maybe ‘despise’ is a strong word but i still feel there is something irreconcilable in a solo dev’s SaaS and the promotion (s)he has to make to have a chance at earning some money from it.

You and I both scoff at pushy newsletters, influencers, affiliate links, even SEO - which by the way made majority of web unreliable.
Yet i know this is the only way to have a try at this attractive idea of working for yourself and introducing a tiny bit more freedom to your life (or is it?).

Then leave it to the pros you say? 9to5 looks just as unattractive.
"Lockdown" pretty much never happened in the USA. There were these half-assed stay at home orders, which in practice ended up being voluntary and unenforced. People were out horsing around and very few enforcement actions happened, despite most of the orders being enforceable as misdemeanors. Fortunately most people voluntarily did the right thing, but not enough for it to matter.
No, decisions are things that occur prior to action. It was not the employee’s place to freelance their guesses about what Jobs might approve of.

Just because the employee got lucky and gambled successfully with Jobs’ reaction, doesn’t make them trustworthy in future.

This is great to show the ability of aggregating videos from Reddit. I'd say a better use case would be to turn it into a news feed of subreddits you follow - Instagram stories, Tik Tok with autoplay right in the feed. It irritates me to have to click into each one to see if I'm interested, but good work.

The rooting process is actually very standardized. On most of the phones you just have to patch a su manager tool called Magisk[1]. Its open-source and been under a lot of eyes.Also the dev works at apple and is a community favorite.

Custom roms are a lot more risky, there are 100s of different flavors made by relatively unknown developers and even though they are technically open source, I find it highly unlikely that none of them contain malware. I mean you can introduce a memory corruption bug in few handful characters, these custom roms are practically unauditable.

Unlike previous wars, cruise missiles are a mature technology, making it much easier to precisely zap an opponent's manufacturing facility and infrastructure than before. High tech gizmos also have a lot more dependencies that go into them, making it easier to disrupt by knocking out a few or even just one of them.

This is just so, so good. Thank you to this salmon for participating in science.
> Scientific proof is not available in economics,

“Scientific proof” isn't a thing. Empirical falsification of a hypotheses is, and it is absolutely available for the subject matter of economics (as conventionally understood; Austrian-school ‘economics’ overtly is a system of working out the implementation of deontological principles and is thus more a branch of moral philosophy than of social science, but that's an exception.)

It's true that a lot of the work done on economics is or builds on speculation beyond the present practical capacity of reliable testing due to complexity, but that's not uncommon (even if the ratio may usually be lower) in other scientific disciplines.

Lay (and particularly government) people frequently fail to understand the status of various economic ideas and treat speculation on shaky foundations of simplified models taken outside of their area of utility as approximations as truth, but that is also not uncommon in other scientific domains, though the practical consequences of it in economics may be more pronounced.

> but that doesn't make it not a science.

Not being a domain in which hypotheses are subject to empirical falsification (the closest thing there is to “scientific proof” in any domain) would, indeed, make it not a science.
I am more concerned about worst case latency than going into message rates measured in the billions per second. The load those events will generate far exceeds the load incurred by creating and processing them on the same physical host, so ill never be in a situation where 25 vs 250 million makes a difference.

I am also interested in the productivity and safety afforded by high-level languages in this arena. Dealing with memory and threading at the same time is not something I like to do at a low-level.
I don't care about XUL addons. What I cared about was addons with full access to the browser. I understand that they wanted to move, and that addons would break. But I would still love to be able to list non-sandboxed extensions in the store even if they came with a big warning "this extension will probably break with every new version of Firefox". There is still functionality that can't yet be replicated with WebExtensions.

For example I was maintaining VimFx as an unsigned extension for a while after it wasn't allowed in the store. Sure, it broke often, but the fixes were generally easy. However what really killed it was the lack of interest from not being able to be listed in the store and not being able to run on stable Firefox releases. If we could attract even a handful more maintainers I'm sure we could have kept it mostly up to date.

To this day I can't get back some of the functionality that I lost. Firefox is now just a different chrome. Sure, it is made by a different company, but the user functionality is now almost identical. (Sure, Firefox has about:config, but that is limited to what Mozilla imagined)

I'm really glad that Mozilla adopted WebExtensions. I think it is an amazing solution for most extensions. Plus it is safer and cross-browser. However there are a couple of extensions that need full access, and I wish that was still an option, even if there is no stability guarantee.
It's easy to see things falling through taxonomy cracks, but it's also an incredibly useful tool.

Chronic constipation is also associated with some neurotransmitter disorders that can predispose people to PD. In my experience, doctors are not able to distinguish between PD that's neurodegenerative or neurometabolic during a consult. In addition, GI issues can also complicate neurometabolic PD/Parkinsonism/etc, and I imagine it's difficult to differentiate the two without a thorough evaluation and genetic testing.

It's not part of the legal definition, it's a practical matter.

Assume the employers did not collude for an employee on shift at both employers during a given time period (say 9am-1pm):

- Uber says to idle near LAX, because that fits what Uber needs at that time.

- Lyft says to idle near BUR, because that fits what Lyft needs at that time.

Those locations are approximately 37 minutes away as I write this, despite both being quite logically in the same metro area. It's eminently reasonable to expect an employee to serve an area that encompasses (even much more than) the area between those two points, so an employee would not reasonably get a routine say in where inside the region she is asked to idle.

QED the only way to routinely guarantee that Uber and Lyft ask an employee to idle in the same location is for Uber and Lyft to collude on staffing decisions. This opens up other legal concerns (and may be illegal).
the point wasnt whether or not they could or did. the point was that it could be inferred based on what sql client the malware client was using without ever touching the sever.

I understand that. The author does make the claim that "Roblox is a MUD for the TikTok generation."

I am making an important distinction in just one - and to me the crucial point - which I highlighted in the original comment above: text is highest bandwidth medium for our imagination. If a game is not using text but other mediums such as graphics, then regardless of social dynamics, creativity, difference of worlds etc it can not be put in the same context as MUDs.
