By relatively minor I meant a large portion of these issues live in the category of "technical hiccups and such" and not in the core of what the game itself is.

A slow and buggy game can become a faster and stable game over time with patches and polish, a game that is boring, dull or put simply, a bad idea won't become much better. You can't polish a turd and make something better out of it. Take VtM: Bloodlines as an example. People stack patches on top of patches from random websites only to be able to play this game in a somewhat acceptable state, and yet it's a well-known darling of gaming circles.

By impact this is indeed nowhere near minor. I'm just saying most of this could be avoided, and the core of the game, regardless of its issues today, is appealing.

I really hate how there's lag when going "Back" from an article to the topic list (iOS, Safari). It resets the scroll position too, to the wrong spot.

This is a major issue on Reddit too... a huge lag when going Back.

I like that Sqwok looks HN/old.Reddit but with bigger mobile-sized tap targets and fonts. It feels like it works well in a browser. But the back experience kind of ruins the fluid UX.
Because you can raise a lot more money with a lot less impact this way. It definitely feels preferable to higher taxes on labor or investment.
If this needed further demonstration, this whole COVID crisis showed how irrational humans are. It's flabbergasting how, in the same world, a person would want to pay more to get access to a vaccine first while another wants to avoid it at all costs. That is not at all how things work.
If your perception of this game's story is "nudity and dildos", you just haven't played the game at all.

There are story missions dealing with sex workers and their validity as humans. There are story missions addressing rape and misconduct towards sex workers. There are story missions dealing with human trafficking. There are story missions dealing with corporate espionage. The list goes on. None of these things are "juvenile", I would say, nor can they be watered down to "nudity and dildos." This game is not Saints Row, it is not cartoony or silly.

You can dislike the story, but you should not mischaracterize the subject matter to downplay certain parts of its validity. The story is absolutely "mature". There is no question.
Well if YouTube ever turns out someone as messed up as Britney spears or Michael Jackson maybe I'll be concerned but its not like children working in blockbuster/music actually have a fantastic track record
MERS (which didn't reach the US) was probably a better "training pandemic" because of the high rate of symptoms early on in the infection. One could take drastic measures to isolate the infected and prevent many deaths.
100% disagree. None of the blame is on the consumers. The studio pitches a game. People get excited. People buy it. None of that is the consumers' fault. It's false advertising, period.
> Most of the time, you want to bias for action

Not everyone agrees with this. One of Rust's core values is stability, and that involves making sure to not move fast and break things.

That said, there is always a balance. This is also why I had "almost" in there. There are a few exceptions in certain cases.

This is a significant difference between the Apache and Rust outlooks on things.

> But "full consensus" has a problem with scale — the more eligible voting members you have, the more likely it is that you get a holdout on some issue.

This is true, but you can solve this problem in different ways. Rust takes a federated approach. In the early days, there was only the core team. Eventually, we ran into scale issues. So we broke things out into multiple, smaller teams with full autonomy. This process has continued over time.

A lot of the procedural issues you cite only come into effect once you've rejected full consensus. If there's no voting, there's no need for complex supermajority overrule processes.

That being said, I fully agree that a common set of rules is a good thing. There's always tension here, because there are pros and cons to uniform rules. We have very common rules for making decisions, but complete balkanization of chat platforms, for example.
And aren’t there tons of laws around kids in Hollywood now because they were so abused by their parents (with money) in the past?

It's funny. I never understood the food coma thing. Never experienced it. Sure you're full after overeating on pizza but that was it.

Until I did keto. Went to a friend's house and they made pizza in their pizza oven, so sure I ate some. About a half hour later I was fast asleep on their sofa...
There are millions of survivors of Covid, so every conceivable bad health outcome will be present in that population.
By this, you disagree with the OP?

Mind you, any large system has good and bad parts, and they can change roles under different circumstances, across different time periods; some change fast and some slow; some never come back, and some can hop back and forth.

Auction with small amount of highly daughter after goods is a reasonable approach to demand fair share of social responsibility from the rich. After all, why do we want to grant them the same cheapness that they inevitably are entitled to but are not really fair to others?

Apologize if you meant differently.
True. It looks like the last PPC Macs were released in 2005 and were available through 2006 [1]. The last OS that supported them was Leopard, which got Security updates though 2009 [2].

And the other way around also. Those that don't like the game try to ruin it for those that like it.

BTW. Your whole previous comment pretty much has a "TL;DR the game is crap", not a single good point about a game.
I guess it's supposed to be a close mentorship, in which case the low mentor-to-mentee ratio is a plus.

Writing a chess program in 99 steps (2011)
The bold, black text is too much IMO, but I appreciate sites that are high on content, low on unnecessary white space. In fact, I would suggest/prefer experimenting with an interface where:

1) every entry has the exact same amount of vertical space (two lines total), which includes the topic title, link to content, date, and username. Include username and date on the same lines as the other content (not their own line) and truncate long titles to make it work.

2) the links to external content are just the domain name (like HN--you don't currently include enough extra characters for it to be useful to see those extra characters)

This gives the interface more consistency which might help clean up the "messiness" of the look and be more inviting in that way, rather than in a way that cuts down on information density. (Make it a power tool, not a toy.) And as referenced above, playing around with weight and color for all that bolded black would might be helpful.

Overall, I dig the concept!
The best thing to do would be to plow this money back into vaccine production and distribution, since that's the reason that the wealthy shouldn't be able to shortcut the process in the first place—it needing to work well for everyone.
A new account with 2 comments on an very anonymous site requiring absolutely nothing personal to sign up shows HN has gone downhill?

anonymous sign ups have their advantages, as well as disadvantages.
> This question inappropriately assumes that the Rust compiling design and performance are fixed to what is today, and in particular, that they are entirely inherent to the language.

Either that, or: it asks exactly that question rather than assumes that slow compilation is intrinsic to memory safety etc. But yes, there might be an implicit premise about some part of the Rust design contributing to slow compilation times.
Statecharts are in fact descriptions of state machines. They are just not ordinary state machine diagrams based on a single, scalar state variable.

The state expressed in Statechart could be turned into a single variable, and the chart could be refactored into a flat state transition diagram.

But that diagram would potentially be huge compared to the state chart description.

The state chart condenses that description by avoiding the duplication of some sub-state-machine for every change of some variable which is irrelevant to it.

E.g. suppose a device has two master modes of operation, A and B, in which it responds to inputs in totally different ways. Suppose that mode A and B retain their internal state when the mode switch takes place.

If we don't use a hierarchical state chart, we end up having to represent what happens when a certain input arrives in a state under mode B, for every possible state in mode A which is not actually in effect and irrelevant. Basically, we have to deal with the product state space, in which the explosion leads to numerous identical combinations.

“ So there exist situation where we can use entanglement to achieve better results, for example in "non-local games", where players sharing entangled state can win with probability 1, when "classical player" with probability < 1”

Do you have an example for this? This is really interesting
Yes the problem is ”fundamental” here as there is no filesystem guarantees. You basically upload the whole file after modifying it just like you would a zip. My point was that this is just as good to leave to the application and gain some better control over failure behavior/recovery.
I love JetBrains IDE's...

Huge fan, have the all products subscription for years and use multiple of their IDE's simultanously and try to convince anyone who will listen why these are just better IDEs, which is why they should pay for it.

However, please please, bring back the old "local changes" view. It is a huge part of the workflow when coding. I don't know of a single person who thought it needed to be changed, but everyone i've discussed it with wishes it was returned to the previous style.

For the record, you can revert it (for now) by going to: Settings > Version Control > Commit > "Use non-modal commit interface"
Because a regular tax wouldn't get them vaccines
So as far as PS and XBox stores go, people should complain about them that they don't allow refunds normally (like Steam allows - only recently).
> $25k seems low for a life-saving queue-jump during a crisis.

Not really. Right off the bat, if you figure there's a 1% chance you die if you get it and a 20% change you get it, that values a life at $12.5M. That's a little on the low side for someone rich, but not not by that much.

You also have to factor in that it's free in 6 months, and for at least 3 months, it's not like you can do anything. The drug is also experimental, so there's an off chance something really bad happens. The vaccine also means you won't be a long hauler, so that adds some value.

$25k feels about right.
Harry, Did You Know? (Harry Potter Christmas Song)
Seems like you could use the same logic and don't vaccinate doctors and nurses because they're are paid well and educated. People will get outraged about anything.

Too much for people to complain about.

In other words, loss aversion is a strong incentive.

People would rather over-pay to receive something than pay for a general tax (a loss) even when it would provide an absolute equivalent result.
They are not countering each other, do they?

Why not do both? And ATM why not execute a measure that is the one more acceptable to everyone, I.e. auction? I doubt any typical citizens would be mad at auction off 1% and use the fund to increase the total supply by 10% or even 100%.
there is a system homologous to machine learning 2factor authentication.

in very loose terms both keys must be presented while the immune system is in training, the instances where protiens are expressed with out cell surface recognition molecules in proximity are invalid thus foriegn, and memory immunity to this "failed login" is maintained. when both factors [protien plus recognition] are present constituitively over the course of development the immune response is squelched.

this is known as central tolerance.

They should host a de:Invent conference. Migration workshops. What to look forward to being canceled next year. Bar events where where participants can pour one out for Reader and Inbox.

What matters most is GOP/Federalist society federal judges.

If GOP activists hadn't controlled the Supreme Court for the past 50 years (despite the GOP losing most presidential elections during that time) this and many other areas of American jurisprudence would look significantly different.
Look up “Seelsorge” (not sure whether “pastoral care” is the equivalent in English).
Performance got worse on Linux, too. A year ago, JavaDoc would be displayed instantly. Now I have to wait 5-8 seconds for the IDE to display information about a class / method.
It may be a kernel related bug from what I have found on the net, but it seems strange that some operations are still fast, while others take several seconds (like opening a menu).

scala for backend, scala.js for frontend (react), postgres

Postgres because i like strict schema that ensures data consistency.

scala allows me to work quickly so that is one impact, its also a typesafe language so that is another obvious benefit.

I built an app in this same space (news aggregation, real-time discussions) and hope it is OK to share it as a comment to this post: https://newscussion.com .
Its a little different in that latest news don't come from users posting them but rather are brought in via a third party API.

Really happy to see Sqwok in this same space, as it validates that there are folks interested in ephemeral / real-time discussions around latest news :)

@holler Let me know if you'd like to talk dev stories about building for this space, I'd be down.
Does anyone know the specific differences between the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines? I know the quoted reason is that its something to do with the structure of the delivery method, the lipid nanoparticles. And I've seen news articles saying that this information is proprietary and won't be released. Is that really an acceptable excuse for the first mRNA vaccine to be used on a massive scale and with about 6 months of trials?

I think this information should be made open so that other countries/companies can produce vaccines with the higher temperature requirement, not to mention that the public should know these differences and why they exist. There's gotta be more factories that have the necessary equipment, but the plans just aren't available.

That's exactly why I posted the link. It's interesting to me (as someone who lived in Seoul through the start of the pandemic) that they went from everything is fine to we have people waiting in ambulances and dying in hallways in a matter of weeks.
That's fantastic. Makes me wonder what other efficiency gains we're missing out on due to there not being the right incentives.
They're both being rational; they're just weighing costs and benefits with a lot of unknowns differently.
I haven't tried this particular game yet (CyberPunk 2077).

But as someone who games on exclusively on Linux, I'm surprised to learn about the outrage. Personally, I'm used to having to debug, alter, or otherwise hack games in order to play them. I'm also more tolerant of bugs and glitches. I've found that I gravitate more towards Early-Access titles on Steam than big "AAA" titles.

I realize most console gamers aren't necessarily technical people, but when did gaming become so entitled? Is the mainstream PC gaming market this spoiled also? I've heard mostly good things about CyberPunk from fellow PC gamers.
Good! Not all companies need the grow-at-all-costs mentality that comes with VC funding.
If you aren't happy with the bugs, just pretend it is delayed again. Problem solved.

It just isn't plausible that Starship launch costs for LEO could be 1/28th the costs for Falcon Heavy. This sounds like more Musk optimism to me.
It's only a matter of time before these hacks are weaponized, and it would appear that the US is totally unprepared.
> Why is this an important signal, given healthcare teams have already decided on a priority order?

Because if we handle it right, we can get the wealthy to pay for the vaccine production for everyone else, or plow that money into state governments to prevent the cuts to social services that are coming.
For the smallest possible missions, the price per kg is fairly constant in recent years - $50,000/kg. SpaceX does indeed offers the best price: $5000/kg, but only if you are buying in bulk.
Yep, it's a classic "new market entrant is racing to become the incumbent before the incumbent(s) can copy their innovations" situation.

It's a good illustration of why software is such a different paradigm than traditional physical economies; VCs can pour funding into a software company and since the marginal costs are close to zero, the innovator can blitz-scale and take over the market before the incumbent has time to react. However when "scaling" means building global logistics infrastructure, including factories for batteries and factories for cars, it's a lot harder to get the drop on the incumbents.

I think the GP's comment is spot on though, if Tesla fails to win this race, they will still have been the driving force in bringing EV adoption forward by 5-10 years (perhaps more), which is an incredible achievement.
You will need a lot of screens for this :-)
Sweeden is one example, the death toll is still manageable and the life is pretty much still normal.

Not a country: florida, it is one of the state in the usa that has the least covid related restriction. They are doing very well. Went there myself to visit recently.

Its not hard to see why lockdown is not worth it. According to cdc, covid has very very low ifr :

0-19 years: 0.00003

20-49 years: 0.0002

50-69 years: 0.005

70+ years: 0.054
It is if they keep enabling this behavior by preordering. It’s not a limited quantity item, and there’s no reason to. And this keeps happening.

For sure, it depends pretty much how the framework will look like.

I still can't think of a way to make borrow checker deal with a GUI designer and drag and drop of components(which should be able to be plugged anywhere on the visual tree), or even something like SwiftUI, without forcing Rc<RefCell<>> everywhere.

I am looking forward how Rust/WinRT will look like with WinUI, but again, COM means AddRef/Release everywhere.

I don't think they've been developing for the past 8 years. The Witcher 3 came out in 2015, and its DLCs in 2016. I think it's been developed in the last four years.
