I know KSP goes far with nods and there are other games like Space Engineers and similsr that capture other aspects, but I'd also definitely fund a game like this.
Encarta was an amazing product that I fondly remember using in school. It was essentially wikipedia before there was wikipedia with the upside that it had curated and citable sources and generally a much higher quality of writing.

In my eyes, over the years, wikipedia has caught up a lot in terms of quality of writing and wikimedia now has a lot of images and video.

I wonder if there is a way to just download the whole wikipedia for easy distribution like encarta.
I also miss it.

There's something fishy with the sign-up UX, though. I constantly keep seeing new users accidentally creating two accounts (the record being four!) when they join a server for the first time.
We've spent weeks debating whether to ask users to create an account or not for our app. Going for no auth would've decreased our development costs by a lot, while also increasing conversion because once installed you'd get right into using all the features. But then we realized people abuse the service (it's a B2C SAAS that's free for the C side) and we need a way to ban the abusers from using the platform.

Going for auth impacts everyone because you have to provide (and verify) your info to us, and this translates to 99% of the users being impacted by the other 1% who will not play by the rules. Sure, you can blame companies for not coming up with smarter options for eliminating the abusers that hurt everyone else, but when we're offering a free service without asking for anything back from your side I find it hard to justify investing months of development into this. And this is why you create an account with your email or phone number, and if you make the life hard for everyone else you go out of the platform and let everyone else enjoy it peacefully.
I think a big part of the problem here is that the vast majority of the time, nobody wants to pay for security. The end result is that you end up with 2 kinds of players in this market:

- "small" players like Mozzila who don't have a big enough marketing budget or leverage from existing products to drive adoption.

- large companies who are willing to throw large sums of money into this with the goal of monopolizing auth, and using that monopoly to manipulate related markets. In the non-Apple cases (Google, Facebook, Microsoft), it also involves collecting data on users for ad targetting.
Ahh, I'm from the camp of "the worst". My girlfriend is from that "the best" camp, but doesn't have too much money. So we can't use that little more expensive aluminum foil, because it's for "special occasions". She got upset because I've slightly damaged cheapest workshop vacuum (it's cheapest, but happened to be rather good quality) using it for heavy duty tasks (and saved 50x it's price by doing those tasks myself). Is this the live one should live? To be slave of your possesions? Do you really need the best tools from the start? I've started with cheapest possible ones and if they break too soon, I'll get better ones. But for now, the almost cheapest ones fully earned their worth.

> Discord uses 250mb+ minimum in RAM to handle simple voice chat, whereas alternatives like mumble in this example use 20mb.

250mb is irrelevant on any system you'd want to game on.

> The voice codec and quality is arguably better and with less down time. Discord servers often go down and I've found myself having to switch to central or whatever to get it to work.

My real-world experience is that mumble servers go down more often and for longer - you're usually at the mercy of an individual hobby sysadmin. In theory Discord's uptime is pretty bad, but in practice it actually does beat the alternatives.

For me, having a workshop in which I can do any automotive, house, electronics build or repair and keep all of my stuff working and remove costs for replacing items which can easily be repaired. Same goes for car repairs and house repairs/remodels - having all of the tools available is worth the up front investment. I've never once been to a car mechanic (15 years of car ownership), have the same laptop I got in university (12 years old at this point), and have done mostly all of my own repairs on my house - with one structural issue that I didn't trust myself with...Also have a sewing machine (which I'm not that good on, I mostly leave it to my GF) to repair clothes and make adjustments. Ah and one more thing: a fully stocked kitchen with all of the tools you need to cook.

>> everyone argues from an emotional perspective

> You kind of have to. If you were not emotionally invested in some way, you wouldn’t be arguing.

The thing is, if you're talking about an average online debater, their emotional motivation is likely quite confused. The emotional distribution might be: 20% wanting to appear smart/reasonable, 30% wanting to insult their idea of bad people, 30% wanting to reinforce their lifestyle as valid, etc or whatever. With that, you could can could translate liamrosen's comment to say "if they're motivated 30% to appear smart, you can involve them in the framework" and once you involve the person, Cialdini's commitment and consistency can strong motivators to keep them there.

That said, I think this does raise the point that there are other good way to deal with the emotions behinds arguments that aren't mentioned in liamrosen's essay (the OP). One standard approach to determine the emotion behind a given irrational claim, acknowledge the emotion, sympathize with it and then go back and show that the original claim is unnecessary.

I’m surprised this was printed. Usually NYT is negative, or at best tepid, towards homeschooling.

There’s a diverse set of homeschool/unschool lived experiences. There’s a diverse set of challenges and opportunities that change on a family by family, child by child basis. Homeschool proponents aren’t trying to take anything from you, they just want the option to do things their way, in the privacy of their own home at their own expense with their own labor. That’s all. I’m glad you had a great (normal?) school experience. I’m grateful for your concern about the children of homeschoolers. Please do not confuse your concern with the correctness of the school system for our child. It’s well established the US is a follower in school performance. That should be all the justification we need.

You could do the same without transforming to game of life. Iterate over all possible states the memory can be in, and emulate a cpu with that memory for N steps.

But if you have 640 kilobytes memory (ought to be enough for anyone), that means your cache will have 2^640000 entries.

When transforming to game of life every bit of memory becomes many cells in the grid, so the requirements for that would be even worse.

If the IP's do not match to these two-word domains in the forward and reverse DNS direction, my mail server will turf the connection.

Hypothesis: thus, my valid e-mail address will be declared invalid.

Experimental result: Experian fucking lies!

I tried two addresses, a valid one and invalid. Their user interface claims that it was not able to determine the status because "[t]he request timed out due to the host domain not responding in time".

This is complete horseshit.

Both requests resulted in a prompt access to my mail server and a swift and clear SMTP rejection. Nothing timed out.

This one was rejected because the IP address is listed by Spamhaus:

2020-10-20 00:22:00 H=emv31.eistnesieu.com [64.17.42.224] F=<double-bounce@emv31.eistnesieu.com>

This one was rejected by a rule of my own, "too many digits in domain name":

2020-10-20 00:23:16 H=smtp104.bordurecultures.com [192.121.0.117] F=<double-bounce@smtp104.BordureCultures.com>

Hiding the fact that their probe attempt was rejected due to looking like spam, by claiming that the request timed out, is egregiously dishonest. They are insinuating that they could validate an address in my domain, if only my domain would respond on time, covering up the fact that it did, and no they could not.
You are not making a counterargument. The operating word is “masses”. 1-on-1 doesn’t scale. The political reality may be that support for schooling would crater if the report were widely known, but the alternative isn’t realistically “modern schools” vs. “1-on-1 tutoring”, but rather “modern schools” vs. “nothing”, or, optimistically, “modern schools” vs. “something not yet invented”.

Hasn't happened until today, which is sad.
> But for the members of the church to have freedom of religion they need to be able to exercise their freedom as an organized group.

There is no logic in this sentence. An organised group as an entity doesn't need to be treated the same as a citizen for the freedoms of the members of the group to be respected, I don't understand where is the leap between: rights of a citizen should be extended as rights of a virtual entity that groups citizens. Why?
Getting angry in a debate is usually a public show where the person is betting on having a better position. If you are angry and wrong, you appear as a fool. If you are angry, but able to keep composure and your arguments are sound, you've demolished your counterparty. Not that you should, or that it comes with any merit to society, but it certainly is entertaining to watch.

How would you go about measuring differences in racial attitudes as a result of defaulting branch names to 'main' from 'master'? I think the data empirically shows a majority don't agree with the change, but it doesn't prove its efficacy, which is the best measure of 'if it matters'.

In other words, just because 70% of people believe it is an ineffective change, doesn't make it actually ineffective.

SaaS Manual – Learn how to build SaaS products from scratch
> Chat bots work best where users already are. If your users are primarily spending time in messaging platforms where bots and micro-apps can be seamlessly embedded, great.

Fully agreed with that. While for sure "boring" for many and not good as marketing tools, the best "chat bots" IMHO basically are inline commandline tools that help specific communities.
Yeah, would be interested in a TLDR.
I'd just like to point out how absolutely terrible that simulated mouse cursor on that site is. Feels very sluggish and weird. Please don't do this.
The use of XML is a bit unfortunate, but these days there are a huge range of mature XML libraries for any language, with a variety of different styles of API to suit the programmer / program design, so the use of XML doesn't really affect implementation that much. Not to mention there are decent XMPP libraries for many languages, so only the application-specific logic needs to be implemented.

XMPP has a clear design based around general concepts, that make it useful for a wide variety of messaging-type applications. The criticism I hear often seems to come from people approaching it as an IM protocol, and then being upset that they need to learn some general XMPP concepts to understand how IM is implemented on top of XMPP. The reality is that it's a general protocol, which can be used to implement a variety of different real-time messaging applications. That generality can cause people to think it's overcomplex if they approach it as if it's designed purely for IM.

You'll often find XMPP as the underlying tech for IoT real-time communication, or for signaling/presence (as an alternative to SIP) for videoconferencing (for example, Jitsi Meet uses XMPP for signaling). In this way, XMPP is quite widely used, but often not in a way that people are aware of.

By contrast, Matrix appears to attempt a clean-sheet design without learning any of the lessons of the many protocols that came before it. The protocol is heavy on special cases, has many serious inefficiencies (many coming from an apparent desire to make the protocol "more Web"), and especially on the server side requires a large amount of implementation work simply to get to a basic level of functionality (as opposed to XMPP, where a simple server for a basic set of functionality can be written in a very small amount of code, especially if you make use of an existing XML library).

I've written code for both protocols (as well as many other protocols with similar goals) and will do my best to avoid touching Matrix ever again.
> how does URL-rewriting benefit Google in this situation?

When I use, say, thunderbird, Google does not know whether I opened an email, interacted with links on them or downloaded images/external resources in them.

With link-rewriting, when I click on e.g. shopping.example.com/product/1337 and not on shopping.example.com/product/42 in an email, google now knows that "berkes, thunderbird-user is more likely to like product 1337" and can offer that data to advertisers.
I think a big problem with open source games is in the vfx side of things where the work that needs to be done is long and arduous, it needs to have a coherent visual language and gfx artists just don't seem very interested in doing that. Plus for a lot of gaming platforms that are relevant you have licensing fees etc which are big blocker for FOSS projects.
Hi awesome Hacker News folks! I just launched SaaS Manual and thought to share this with you. Here is why I started SaaS Manual:

I've been building SaaS products for a number of years now. I was part of Cloud9 which got acquired by AWS in my last adventure. On this journey, I have learned a lot, and the number of topics you can dive into in the SaaS world is pretty crazy. So I thought to share this knowledge and insight with you.

The problem:

Many courses, books, or tutorials teach individual topics. And complete examples often don't go beyond the TODO list. But there is so much more. And there are so many questions I always wondered about: How do things really look like under the hood? What does it really take to operate a service? How messy is the system? Do they have dashboards? What happens when a service goes down? Can it scale? How do they deploy? How many repositories do they have? And the list goes on.

The solution:

SaaS Manual teaches you all of this. And I am teaching this by building SaaS Manual itself. SaaS Manual will become a fully-fledged product. Call it a learning platform. With accounts, billing, a public/private API, static and dynamic pages, a CDN, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, serverless and so much more. And you can join this journey from the beginning: a simple Notion page.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts, feedback, ideas, comments!
Unlikely. Apple have made the default interactive shell zsh, but /bin/bash still stays around and I believe /bin/sh still aliases to it by default. Meanwhile there is an enormous ecosystems of shell scripts including countless curl ... | bash installers which no one has any motivation to port to some shell which is not installed by default on most Linux distros. Although Microsoft would undoubtedly be delighted with Apple accelerating the move of developers to Windows as the Unix of choice, I'm not convinced even Apple's current management is going to be dumb enough to remove bash altogether.
right on! thank you.
Yet another instance of an industry giant selling off core parts of the business. Are Intel in so desperate need of cash?!
FYI I'm the same person, and I'm not building a taboo around the word victim.

Stoicism doesn't advocate for you to be less active. Again, you're misunderstanding the base definition of stoicism. This is much of the same argument I hear about buddhism over here where people somehow think it's a religion of nihilism.

Be a victim or more angry or whatever you like, but it's not going to provide solace, meaningful help or generally better outcomes to you in any situation, plus other people will respond less effectively to it.
> HN to become like a psuedo reddit

Is it really a thing to bash Reddit for everything?

I mean, it's not great in general, but the few subreddits I follow are much better than HN, at least nobody is telling you what's good and what is not, it's the community that regulates itself.

Isn't it possible that having a bad experience with Reddit is a “show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are” more than anything else?

I'm not sure why it took so long for people to recognize this. An overwhelming majority of chatbots I've used are utter rubbish and are better served through a regular interface (search, directory listing, etc).

It’s been about 20 years since I’ve read it and I barely remember the plot. I do remember S&L being a slog. Give The Rainbow a shot one day. There is a reason why his name gets mentioned along with some of the greats. He was a bit of a horny old goat, though.

Threads in Slack suck so hard though (no recursive threads, no way to answer one specific message in a thread making it a subthread) and Slack itself is approximately one fifth as performance as Discord. On a modern machine I have 4 cores 100% usage for 20 after starting plus lots of CPU usage when switching channels or opening threads.

Ask HN: How do you backup your personal code repositories?
Is mirroring a good option? (lets say mirror github repos to gitlab so that if you lost access to the former, you still would have your data). Local backups don't tend to be reliable in terms of maintenance and long term archival costs.
As a kiwi, I knew this was going to happen. Gabe has been camping out here for a long time and I suspected he was planning on going the same route as the many multi-millionaires and billionaires who have NZ as their backup plan.

For a country with few ultra-rich, we have a really hot ultra-high-end property market catering to overseas billionaires.
We had the book as children. It was a massive (to my child's hands) hard cover book. I spent ages paging through it, looking at all the cute little illustrations. Whenever I had a question that my father coulnd't answer, we'd rush over to the bookshelf to find it there. It always seemed to have the answer.

I introduced discord at a startup I was a part of. We worked completely remotely and I felt super lonely. I tried to create a culture of everyone who wanted to, could just roam our discord channels and get that watercooler like chatting.
