I think part of Dominion's engine-building mechanics is what makes it terrible to play if going up against someone more experienced: My friend would need five minutes to take his turn, while everyone else had a card or two to play. It wasn't fun sitting through.

At least with chess, every player is making one move per turn, it always feels fair, even when you are less skilled.

I never used jQuery, but it seems that two other problems that is solved and that current browsers largely cover now are:

- easier AJAX requests (fetch does this)

- selecting nodes using CSS-like selectors (querySelector / querySelectorAll)

Hiding elements too: HTML now has the hidden attribute. Maybe manipulating HTML/CSS classes? (classList has everything)

I don’t think Republican opposition is the answer, as they’re demonstrably just as corrupt and self-serving. But California could certainly benefit from some primary challenges from the left. LA is seeing this happen with the election of Nithya Raman and George Gascón (who were vehemently opposed by mainstream Democrats). Interested to see how they might shift the terrain.
Why don’t they deserve to be outside? I disagree with that - I think they do deserve it because it keeps them happier. I find your description of cats (“terrorizing wildlife”, “tearing up my garden”) to be hyperbolic. Domestic cats don’t typically do things like eat through a vegetable garden. As for leash laws - that’s more necessary for dogs because of their potential for aggression and harm to humans. Cats are VERY rarely aggressive, non threatening to almost all humans, and are more likely to run away from humans than say a pit bull.

And to be clear, flat detection using slippage, dynamically calibrating to the actual tire diameter, is the cheapest way of doing it. Since flat detection is required by law, at least in the EU, every 10k€ new car sold in the last 5 years does it. Tesla does some marvelous stuff, but they also have some unbelievable inability to provide functionality that is nowadays just expected from a car.
I think the experts in docker would note that sandboxing and privilege isolation are technical features which have many uses, but that is not at all the same as making broad-based claims about the security of docker or the virtual machine and host operating system technology upon which it runs.

I'd consider vanilla JS anyway and switch to a framework if things get too complicated.

Good catch.

The likes of Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and others, smartphones allow us to carry immense social environments in our pockets through every waking moment of our lives. Hence the "dopamine and social reward" one gets interacting in that social environment is what they use to get one hooked up.
All of standalone LES activation ever in the history of human spaceflight had been successful in saving all occupants' lives.

Space Shuttle failed twice on the other hand, each time killing all aboard, and in neither cases of it its integral abort systems/abort modes did help at all.

So in theory the lack of capsule-only LES do not necessarily mean safer rocket, in the history and in the statistics it does.

> Its one of the main reasons I switched to duckduckgo as my default search.

Ditto. AMP and Pinterest are two daily frustrations with Google that pushed me to DDG. I would say DDG’s image search is clearly superior to Google’s, not only because it does a better job keeping out SEO spam. It also still allows you to link directly to the image.

Government bureaucracy also made the Apollo program.

What got in the way was politics.

What revived space tech was competition.

Politics and bureaucracy can plague private enterprise and competition can be had between or at the behest of government institutions.

It's not as simple as government bad, private good. In fact that simplification can be quite dangerous if it leads to the erosion of government as policy.
This is my favourite way of learning (and teaching) most things. I hate when I'm just told "this is the way it is". I want to know why, what problems does it solve and how was this developed.
> A switch to proportional voting could require constitutional changes in most places.

Less places than you might think. It especially wouldn't for Congress (so long as it was proportional by a method similar to STV within state delegations, or within some subset of state delegations), as the only barrier there is a statutory prohibition on at-large districts for delegations greater than 1, adopted to head off the use of FPTP at-large districts to systematically deny representation not minorities.

> Also, proportional voting introduces all kinds of unnecessary problems like not having districts

Party list proportional would do that, but most other proportional systems would not.

> and thereby constituents having their votes diluted

Proportionality doesn't dilute votes; the more proportional a system is the more efficiently it allocated votes to give them maximum effect.

> and not having a specific representative

Proportional systems don't need to have that effect, either, no matter how you measure it (and FPTP—and any other simple singlr-member district system—definitely has that effect for supporters of the nonwinning party in a district, who are effectively unrepresented entirely.)
I love seeing the Starcraft folks come out of the HN community! Have loved Starcraft and sc2 and still watch the major tournaments - but I’m always curious that the most popular RTS of all time is so ignored by “PC RTS” players: Clash Royale / Clash of Clans. The future of RTS games to me lays in increasing accessibility. I’ve been playing Starcraft for decades and my hands and lack of time keeps me from really excelling like I used to as a kid - which is why a game or two of Clash Royale goes pretty far to scratch the 1v1 RTS itch.
Vanilla JavaScript is what you need today. You can use document.querySelector, Array.prototype.map, fetch, and all browsers have the same behaviour so no need for any library like jQuery anymore.

There was a Torsen Type A in the B5 platform revision of the Volkswagen Passat 4motion. It was in the center. Front and rear were plain differentials, with the brakes used for left-right issues.

It worked very nicely on highways.
The initial diagnosis was crap. Add in some surgery and the diagnosis improved dramatically, different type. As far as a cancer diagnosis goes I got off really well in the end.

It was the initial stage where I felt I had a death sentence that shifted my outlook on life. When you think you're going to die you re-evaluate some things. I looked at my life, thought about what I'd regret, and made 5 year plans to get things on track. I'm now in the habit of setting plans for 5 years to ensure I don't regret the life I do have.

AirBNB (and I give them so much money) - just awful web/mobile experience, unreliable review system, poor support, but in many places it's the only option for medium-term (2-4 months) accommodation browsing and booking online. I actively look for and prefer alternatives whenever available.

I completely stopped using it for short term bookings solely due to how buggy and tedious the UX is.
Isn’t excluding comparisons that include refuelling, when contrasting a refuel-able and a non refuel-able vehicle, somewhat ridiculous? Starship is refuel-able , that’s one of its capabilities. Nobody on these vehicles going to Mars will care about you sitting there complaining that is doesn’t count.

> Still, that is multiple Starships. [...] Also, the Saturn V came back.

Since we're nitpicking: The Saturn V didn't come back – the tiny command module came back, and it wasn't reusable. In fact, the only reusable part of the Saturn V were the astronauts.

> Actually, going to the moon and back is not that far off a one way trip to Mars.

You're moving the goalpost. This is getting ridiculous. What are you even arguing about? Starship + Super Heavy will be a much more capable rocket, superior to the Saturn V in almost every way. That doesn't detract from the incredible engineering of the Saturn V, which was developed 55 years earlier, in record time, with slide rules (!), and which first launched 10 years after the first artificial satellite (!!) That is impossible to beat, and there's no need for a pissing contest.
I wasted a lot of time in my life. I was into C++ programming many years before the first dotcom boom. But I did not really profit from it. Instead I studied for many years, then slacked off for a few years, and only started working full time as a software engineer at the age of 30, working on satellite operations and the ground system of the international space station.

I could have been a millionaire many times over if I had realised how valuable my skills at the age of 16, 18, 20 were.

On the other hand, only due to my weird, suboptimal path through life did I meet my wife, which is for me a global optimum. I literally can not think of anybody I would rather spend the rest of my life with.

Now I work at a startup at an age where most software engineers in SV are retiring. So it's all good.
And nobody has any idea if that variant actually affects the transmission rate, let alone what impact it might have on “Rt”.

Speculation about this is irresponsible, at the very least. Moreover, we have eradicated exactly one human disease in all of history, and it took a couple hundred years of effort. Eradication is not the goal.

Immunize the most vulnerable people in the population (those over 65 and/or with certain co-morbidities), and the death rate for this virus will be dramatically reduced long before any herd immunity threshold is achieved.
I enjoy the process of figuring out the right strategy; one of the things Dominion does well is that it gives you that "figuring out the best strategy" experience every time, in a way, because each time you're seeing a different spread of cards and having to figure out what the winning strategy is. I'm not sure how you're defining "minmaxing"; for me playing to win is very much part of the fun, but a game goes stale once you've figured out the strategy to the point that you're just executing it every time you play.

> Linux isn't technically one, sure, but given that Linux is where the OS hot-shit is now (...) is it not fair to say it's where Unix would've been had things been different?

No, it's not fair. Linux is just the OS kernel. UNIX covers interfaces, from APIs to shells and apps distributed by default, which are way out of the scope of Linux. That's the responsibility of Linux distributionsm.

And by the way, there are linux distributions that are certified UNIX

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/293396/is-there-a-l...

Moreover, UNIX is standardized. The drive for standardization was derived from the fact that all vendors of UNIX-like OSes were pushing their quirky vendor-specific things. In fact, even within Linux there is no widely established standard regarding basic interfaces, let alone UNIX.

With this in mind, do note that macOS's market share is significantly larger than the aggregate market share of Linux-based UNIX-like distributions.

I can recommend checking out a couple of lucid dream / meditation techniques that help a lot with focus issues. It could also help dealing with the information overflow from the day during the night in the first lucid phase, because you'll have enough time in your lucid dream to process the information and filter out unnecessary stuff.

In the martial arts world, meditation is used to raise awareness and focus and to help plan ahead fight scenarios in a meditative state. It took me a while to figure out that more experienced "masters" usually are able to dream lucid in their medidative state.

It helped me a _lot_ when I was younger. The perceived social influences still cannot be blocked out sometimes when I'm not well but at least I am not freaking out anymore when there's an untidy object in the room.
>We are years away from a prototype like this becoming a reality

I don't really see a tone like that in the article.

I'm also pretty convinced if a "mishap" like that came to light about the Russian Sputnik, or one of the Chinese vaccines, then the combative and critical tone would go straight to "How Putin/Xi personally wanted to kill millions of people!" with news outlets all over the planet constantly regurgitating headlines along that line and Hanlon's Razor given zero consideration.

While this article ends on the notion of how this is just some kind of "oddity" and yet somehow at the same time allegedly a universal problem of "reporting having slightly nationalistic tone".

The article is so muddled up, and long-winded, the result of which is that it barely gains any traction in the online sphere, can't a find a single submission about this on Reddit with more than a dozen upvotes. The few there are the top-comments are very ad-hominemy "Good thing journalists never make mistakes!", which is a reminder that stuff like this [0] is a very real thing.

This is a valid concern. I'm glad that when I launched a rocket, and upgrades became n->∞ that I unwound from the game.
but I do know you...

you were handed knowledge and opportunity early in your life. you were gifted opportunity to compute and to learn how to program, and probably some priceless mentorship along the way.

from that, with your own hard work and perserverence, standing on the shoulders of giants, you built yourself a nice little career, and now make a good living putting digital cogs together.

based on a limited viewpoint of a 1x1 gameboard square, ignoring the bigger picture, like a child who just learned to put the A block on top of the B block, you cry out, "all by myself! it was all me!"

and, of course, ignoring all the other contributions to the picture, that statement true.

but from the perspective of someone who grew up without any of those opportunities, without someone else to provide the building and the carpet, and the A and B blocks themselves, it would seem privileged and ignorant of others' lack of opportunity.

of course, maybe i'm just projecting? i've certainly been there.

If you only care about one way travel then any refuealable vehicle technically has infinite delta v.

This has actually been true since at least 2013, as long as you were optimising for something that made you money.

If you're optimising for a proxy objective, more granular targeting can make sense (if you have more information about your customers), but if you can just make money from website conversions or in-app purchases, you're better off letting the algorithm do its thing.

(The magic is driven not by incredible engineers but by more people to show the ad to enabling the only people who see it to have high expected conversion rates. This is perhaps the real dirty secret of internet advertising, in that they are predominantly platforms for showing ads to people who were probably going to convert anyway).
The game length is significantly different depending on whether all players are following the same strategy (so buying the same cards) or not. So you have to adapt to that, and there are meta questions about that.
It’s pretty simple - we need fewer humans. We need to stop using technology (GMO crops and accompanying pesticides) to prop up an artificially large and unsustainable human population. Most humans aren’t able to contribute much economic value anyhow, which apart from causing social/political unrest, is starting to feel like we are raising humans just because, with no intent or need except to consume and perish at increasing rates.
> And nobody has any idea if that variant actually affects the transmission rate

People very definitely have ideas:

https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4944 ::

Is the new variant more infectious?

Yes, according to a review of the current evidence by the UK’s New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (NERVTAG). Its 18 December report said that the rate of transmission of the variant, known as B.1.1.7 or VUI 202012/01 (variant under investigation, year 2020, month 12, variant 01), was 71% (95% confidence interval 67% to 75%), higher than for other variants, and that it may also have a higher viral load.1 While previous variants have emerged without clear evidence of having a selective advantage, the report noted, the “emergence and subsequent dominance” of this new variant in a period of relatively high prevalence indicated that it does have a “selective advantage over other variants.”

I've never been depressed, but this sounds all wrong based on accounts I've read.

> Crying spells and slowed movements attract attention.

Only if you're already around people. Slowed movements put you in the path of fewer people, especially in a pre-modern environment (say, hunter-gathering). The natural inclination of a depressed person is, afaict, not to leave the house at all.

> Flat affect reads as ingratitude.

Only matters in a particular type of social environment, which a person suffering depression would likely rather avoid.

> Emotional deadening tends to leave you with the one emotion that will get you in the most trouble, anger.

This doesn't square with any account of depression I've ever heard. I think it's an entirely different kind of deadening.

And it's not about "submissiveness". If you're getting that from the one example in the article, I don't think you understood it. I think the theory is that depression is about avoiding negative stimulus/continuing damage/trauma. "Conformation" as the prime way to avoid damage, rather than staying out of the way of predators or, I don't know, conserving strength after an injury, is extremely modern. Depression can get behind sugar-craving in the line of things that just recently became maladaptive.
> constituents having their votes diluted

Wut? Literally every vote would be worth the same under proportional voting, that’s kind of the point isn’t it?

Of course that means that people whose vote is currently outrageously relevant will have their vote dilluted.

They are two completely different vehicles. One is made for a return mission, the other made is made for a one way mission, while the other is reusable.

That being said, that rocket alone isn't going to be more capable than the Saturn V in moving a payload around. It will be less capable. If you have many rockets then you'll have the capacity to move that payload around as a far as a Saturn V.
Buying Bitcoin at its all time high due to FOMO and hype is a bigger mistake.

I'm expecting this run to end soon with a new bottom.

The low for 2020 was $3,925.27 back in March in the wake of the COVID pandemic and the financial crisis.

I seriously doubt it would crash to that level now that institutional money—insurance companies, hedge funds, corporate treasuries—are piling in.

I'm sure there will be some profit taking, but most hodlers believe this is just the beginning.

One of the reasons I prefer Tanto Cuore (which is more or less a Dominion clone) is that there are always attack options on the board. Usually when I introduce a new group to the game there'll come a point about 3/4 of the way through where they all notice that I'm ahead and spend a round or two all buying Bad Habit cards for me, and I nod to myself and say "yep, they've got it" and lose.
That is very insightful - to me at least. The birth of my children has triggered (or made more apparent) lots of depression symptoms I thought I had overcome after a first round of therapy some years back. Turns out it's far worse this time.
