I would agree with this. Civ 4 is absolutely something some one new to the games should experience. Civ 5 and 6 allow you to control and focus on different things and are definitely, if not improvements, welcomed changes.

Humble Bundle has a lot of Civ sales so if you're patient I'm sure you can grab a lot of the Civ games all at once for a small price.
You know this, but for the benefit of the thread: to say "tls-sni-01 is safe unless there are bulk hosting sites that break it" is to say that tls-sni-01 is unsafe. The "crazy" sites you're referring to included AWS and Heroku.

This all happened 2 years ago, so it's a bit odd to see it litigated today.

The release of this certainly means that they don't think that they're reaching as many college students as they could, which might be framed desperation, given FB's origins. But I personally think that's an overly pessimistic interpretation. I'm not sure what signs would point to the Facebook platform as a whole approaching "death." Their number of active users (for just Facebook, not Instagram or anything else) have been consistently growing each quarter - even specifically in the US.
If short term investing wasn’t valuable why would real estate closest to the stock exchange be priced higher simply because it enables HFT to shave milliseconds of execution time?
I get users to email a personalized support email address.

Eg. help3a2fg@company.com

The support team can figure out which account or anonymous cookie saw that email address.

It's a handy way to still communicate directly with users while holding as little PII data as possible about them.
For those of us that have used emacs for a long time, it is the other items that feel foreign. And, quite frankly, I'm not sure I'm missing anything from the others.

It is annoying that Apple has a command key that I have mapped as Meta. Since that means if I try to copy something in Firefox, closed tab. That said, why are the keyboard shortcuts in so many other applications so destructive? And crappy? Browsers could be forgiven if they were just for viewing, but you edit in them a lot nowadays, such that the browser not having easily customized keyboard bindings is a laughable insult for user centric design.

(Do they even still pretend to support user stylesheets anymore?)

YouTube's recommendations are arguably just as good as TikTok's in my opinion. The only difference is that YouTube places the burden of choice on you while TikTok makes every choice for you.

If you don't quickly find something you'd like to watch on YouTube you're very likely to leave and find something else to entertain you. Meanwhile TikTok is automatically feeding you an infinite source of quick and easy to digest content, all of which you'll probably like to some degree.

YouTube could do something similar and give users an automatic continuous feed (ala a TV channel), but I think YouTube's content is much too longform to work well in this format. This burden of choice problem affects Netflix in the same way which also has superb recommendations.
I use my desktop display at 100% brightness because turning it down means its great color and contrast capabilities go to waste due to its traditionally backlit nature… it’s like downgrading my monitor to a cheaper model.

This effect isn’t nearly as strong on my phone’s OLED. With that, I can turn brightness down quite a long way and still have great color and contrast.

OLED/microLED desktop monitors can’t come soon enough.
What's interesting about your comment is how Facebook, as an online community, has lost all context that other online communities had.

Think about people griping about work. You could do that in older online communities, but now that everyone knows everyone on Facebook, a gripe about work is probably going to be seen by your colleagues and potential employers and...

Basically, the concept of an online community that has boundaries away from your IRL (in real life) community is gone. (Or, everyone's mother and kids have Facebook accounts.)

They want to make Facebook cool again?
A little less than 25 years ago I was in college and knew a young lady by the name Jihad. I wonder what she did.
A ban on political content won’t make fb what it was before. The toxic political content is a symptom of the problem, not a cause.

The community is the difference. Social bubbles on fb are now huge, and include people with wildly varying ideas for what they want to get out of social media. People naturally segregate different aspects of their social life in their real-world interactions, but that nuance is completely lost on fb.
I feel the same way. Humanity is going to reap what it has sown. I think we do not deserve to be OK. Warning, my very cynical viewpoint below.

We've destroyed or are destroying (not exhaustive by any means): flying insect populations by 75%, wild animal populations, coral reefs, numerous fisheries, both poles of the Earth, rain forests...

Climate change is not going to stop or be stopped. Check page 8 of this PDF for a 2050 scenario of climate change: https://52a87f3e-7945-4bb1-abbf-9aa66cd4e93e.filesusr.com/ug... Climate change will probably be a causative factor in future wildfires and pandemics. Get used to this lifestyle.

Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases right now, the earth would still warm: https://theconversation.com/if-we-stopped-emitting-greenhous...

I personally think this is due to overpopulation (This is a VERY controversial viewpoint, I know). Take it with a massive grain of salt, but here's someone's take: https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/iprn0y/natural_w...

It has been pretty well known the best thing an individual can do to help the climate is to have fewer children: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/12/want-to-...

However, the biological imperative to reproduce is too strong. We will not stop until we have consumed all resources and some external factor limits our population. Could be famine (due to climate change), could be disease (due to climate change), could be war (due to climate change). It won't be because people decide to.

What I've personally decided to do is to not have children and try to enjoy watching the world be destroyed from a front-row seat. What we are seeing and will see is unprecedented. I cannot stop it, and neither can you. I believe it cannot be stopped. I take comfort knowing I won't continue the cycle of suffering by raising the next generation of wage slaves.

I haven't even touched on politics, class inequality, race inequality, sex inequality, whatever the hell Trump represents about the USA, the potential rise of fascism, alt-right propaganda machines, antifa bogymen, wealth inequality, business conglomeration, excessive executive pay, stale working wages, US health insurance, many without any sick leave, very high housing prices, homelessness, poor mental health care... it just keeps going.

Like I said, I'm very cynical and quite bearish on humanity as a whole. :)

That's remarkably clever. Many years ago I accidentally destroyed a production server when I got terminal windows mixed up.
> It's hard when there's a whole tech level grind that also has to tick along in the background, fueling the sense of growth & achievement & pushing players ahead.

I have a real problem with how tech levels are implemented in Civilization, at least in the variants I'm familiar with: There's just a few ways to progress, and advances are always better. Technology is not fitted to the environment, like how wheels don't make a lot of sense on roads which are rocky and often stairstepped up steep slopes; nope, the whole concept of "Inventing Wheel" not being a necessary step to further advancement is lost on the game, even if it's empirically possible to build advanced civilized societies without them. It's like it's insulted by wheel-less-ness, and never understands that facts don't care about its feelings.

Further, there's no trade-offs: Iron swords are better than bronze, and never you mind that common iron is worse than bronze; unless you have truly outstanding Damascus steel, you're using sponge iron at best. Of course, sponge iron doesn't require tin, so if you're cash-strapped or just lost a tin-producing province, well, Iron Age ahoy!

I wouldn't care about this stuff if it weren't for the pernicious effect of these games on peoples' de facto history education. They think that if it works that way in Civilization, it must have worked that way in reality, and it's hard to remove a bad education.
the problem is switching costs are pretty low
Author of the post here. Really neat to see something I posted last night on HN the very next morning.

With a night to sleep on it, I think requiring `/v0` and `/v1` would have been the better option, that way you'd hit the issue right away rather than years into your project. Teach things early. I've updated the post with a note of this idea.

I think that's likely not something they could add at this point however.

I don't even mean to be critical of the v2-ing itself, I just think it's entirely non-obvious.

One thing that I had to get through my head when I was learning photography was that there's no such thing as "no filter". Every image you take is an interpretation of the scene, either through digital signal processing or film chemistry or retouching.

When I spend time editing photos my dad would claim I was "lying" by editing them, he thought any modification to digital photos was wrong because the jpeg the camera produces is "reality."

But of course, as this article shows, the camera is adding its own interpretation to the scene. Since our eyes can adjust to many lighting situations, the camera has to try to compensate and reproduce what it thinks our eyes would see, but it has no way to know if it's right! So, sometimes it's necessary to go back to the raw data and recreate the image as you remember it, along with whatever emotions you want it to elicit, rather than taking what comes out of the camera as "gospel".
IIRC youtube vids are too long to do any useful feature extraction from the videos.
Nuclear war is possible but much less likely, compared to when the Soviet Union and the US were watching each other "knowing" the other was itching to launch, and so if they do you better attack back first lest you lose. Acid rain is still a problem, but not nearly the problem it was 40 years ago. The economy has always been kinda hosed about something - but overall your standard of living is better than it would have been. There have always been endless wars - where they are have changed over time. There has always been slavery, again much less today than years ago. I have seen newpapers from 1880 (not a typo, in the 1800s) where the editors were wondering what they would do when the oil wells went dry.
It depends on a whole bunch of factors.

My first question to you is this:

What is your disaster recovery plan (DR) regarding such a scenario? Did you plan, research, document and test such likely scenarios to establish user expectations and timings during an outage?

If you didn't have a proven DR plan in place in this day and age then fire you CTO/CIO.

So the final answer to your question without knowing all the details is ... It depends!

Many of those older systems relied on peripherals that only did upper case, such as Teletypes.
So your solution to the problem is to just do as those 30-40 year olds did? This isn't a revolution that can be won with retribution. You have to be better than the people you're rallying against. Any time you sink to their level it's a tool they will use against you. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
How many operating carbon capture plants are there, and what are the barrier to greater adoption?

What's not fair is countries facing fire, drought, and land loss because of other countries carbon pollution.

This is not pollution control. We need to stop mining carbon and burning it, and we need to stop doing almost all of it.

We should worry about plastics and fertilizers, not IC vehicles or electricity. Those are comparably easy to deal with.
I think that's the point. Facebook was so much more fun when it was dumb college student stuff -- and not a forum for every person you know to view and comment on.

Ask HN: Is it okay for me to work non-stop?
Hey.

I am a senior in high school. Relatively young and just new to the world.

I recently have been having a lot of work because of college applications, International Baccalaureate requirements, etc.

Whenever I do something that is not work related, I feel an immense amount of guilt. Because of that I end up working non-stop from wakeup to snooze time (interrupted by meals, commute, and gym. About 4 hours in total. I work around 11-12 hours a day).

I have conflicting voices within me and I would like some guidance so I can get some clarity.

On the one hand, I feel good that I am able to be productive. I always want to push myself as much as I can, and being able to do the best I can do every day gives me a great amount of self-esteem, pride, and joy.

On the other hand, I feel like I am setting myself up for failure by doing this rigorous schedule. I should FORCE myself to take a break from work (maybe 2 hours a day) and do other activities to relax and get a new perspective on life. Pros of relax time include delaying burnout, more creativity, and if rendered guilt-free, better overall self-esteem, fulfillment, and joy.

I really want to be able to put in those 2 hours or relaxing time but I can't do it. I feel REALLY guilty if I am sitting on my desk at 9pm playing a game of Dota2 when I could still do another set of SAT questions, or a math pset. I am in a mental place where I can only feel okay with myself if I am working from the time I wake up till I sleep. Mental illness?
Well if you assume that beef is bad and cheap beef is especially terrible for both the environment and the cattle themselves then it isn't a huge stretch to see why someone pouring 20X the amount a human would eat into 2 dogs every week could be viewed as immoral.

It's like more people driving hybrid/electric cars cause gas prices to go down, in response to this other people can now buy bigger gas guzzling cars. Economics rewards immoral behavior.
This is the dark side of "smart" devices that replace high-quality physical sensors with clever algorithms. When something weird happens, they might misbehave in the most bizarre fashion. The general pattern will hold for AI. If you give too much control over things to software that you don't really understand or control, it will behave unpredictably when you need it the most and there might not be a way to correct or override it.

> Slag is less of a risk than nuclear waste is but has to be treated similarly

Im my country (Poland) over 20 000 people die yearly of lung cancer. Significant percent of them never smoked cigarettes and the main reason they got that cancer was smog. Which in Poland is almost exclusively seen in winters and caused by burning coal.

Chernobyl caused up to 4000 victims according to the worst estimates (including cancer developed later).

Every year in just one country there's more victims of coal energetics than victims of nuclear power in the whole world over all time.
Even if the representation isn't an image? The code seems pretty explicit on that point. The courts seem to only do interpretation where the code is ambiguous. They don't seem to guess where the law is explicit. That being said, if there is a problem they can always just change the law. Maybe the signalling effect will be enough. Companies won't want to adopt expensive technological workarounds while knowing that the city is motivated to close loopholes.
Nobody is really doubting that. The question is, is shutting down the country to avoid flu season a good trade off (in more normal times)?
Now that I think of it, cjson.null might be workable even with data-transformation libraries, since it's some Lua meta-voodoo-value that can't come in the input from other systems. But then, of course, there's the problem that other data-exchange libs invent their own voodoo-values for null, like ngx.null. Precisely because they need it for actual integration use-cases.

As for the performance, I happen to use an underpowered machine, which is how I discovered the drastic difference with Lua. However, performance still matters beyond just ‘pretty quickly’ if you consider desktop software, especially productivity software—which has to be snappy. Scripting your productivity software is a textbook case for dynamic languages, and almost the exact niche for Lua. Even on my machine, there was a moment when I had to make sure that Alfred actually called my Lua script—because the results popped up immediately (despite going through the command-line interpreter, not Luajit). Meanwhile, people are making productivity software with Electron or Python, which to me verges on ridiculous.
This is really clever! Thank you for the idea.
Are they not also carbon based fuels coming out of the ground? The farts are a byproduct of digested organic matter like corn and grass, and contain some unusable or "un-harvest-able" fuel(s)?
I think you have never looked at the customize screens.

Not to mention that many of us have used emacs for email for ages. Which, lo and behold, is dynamic with parts loading before or after others. Even viewing images inline has been doable for a long time.

Don't get me wrong. Emacs has stayed mostly text focused. Even mostly linear focused, I would agree. I view that as a plus, though. The modern web world? Not so much. And telling that most "resurgences" of popular sites and ideas are usually a return to a linear treatment of data. Often most of the extra crap around are flashy graphics or desperate attempts to get more interaction from users.

I'm talking about the 4-bit (RGBI) ANSI color palette, used by \e[34;44;94;104m escapes. 8-bit or 24-bit color should not be supported by terminals in the first place (and certainly shouldn't be used by terminal applications), for the reasons you mentioned above.

I would just leave morality out of it. The universe exists, with or without us, just as Earth has and will. All you can do is live your life in the world you find yourself in and make the most of it before you, and the rest of us, are eventually gone.

For me that means living my life, doing what I can to be kind and make others happy because that's what I enjoy doing. Nothing I do will really matter though, in the long run. But that's OK. Why does it have to matter?
Appreciate your push for more concrete sources, I don't have any. There are four points that led to my comment:

[1]: Police violence in the news in the United States. How common it is is very debatable, the worst news bubbles to the top and catches the media's attention. For every police shooting there are probably 100+ stops with no shooting. Hopefully the increased media attention has led to concrete studies that will either prove or invalidate my point.

[2]: The very recent shooting of a 13 year old with autism whose mother called the police (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/08/linden-camer...). This is one event, its my opinion that it is representative of many police encounters with the mentally disabled.

[3]: Living in two cities (Eugene OR, and San Francisco) with high rates of homelessness, vagrants, and transients, and observing the success of non-police based services versus police-based services interacting with the homeless.

[4]: Internet comments from people who I believe are EMTs, crisis counselors, and teachers, on stories like [2], sharing similar experiences, sharing their own de-escalation training, and calling out terrible process and active escalation by police in mental health situations.

EDIT:

[5]: For your own source is this violence/non-violence rate based on police reporting, or do they interview other non-police participants?
