So a few RTS games (StarCraft 2, Steel Division 2 come to mind) allow multiple players to share control of the same units/resources so you could artificially divide up responsibilities. You need to go far away from RTS to a game like Artemis: Spaceship Bridge Simulator to find a game where players are dealing with distinct gameplay to a common goal in a shared space however
Palm Springs came out on Hulu this year and continues in that mold.

I do think certain scenarios like Replay or Groundhog Day accord additional advantages because the relived lives stack up, and one’s knowledge, even mastery, accumulate.
All the columns you order by should be part of your cursor value, and the id can be used to tie break non unique columns.
I built urshoutbox for instant ondemand chatrooms with no reg required
I wanted to build a platform for people to instantly create a chat room and share it with others with absolutely zero user registration. Think enabling quick conversations around popular topics. There's no user registration so no tracking necessary. Think of it almost like IRC for the web in a clean format and easy to share. I'm considering this a public beta so people can try it out and give me their honest feedback. I'm hoping this is something that people would find really useful so they're not communicating on platforms that require a bunch of hoops to get through. Would love to hear people's thoughts!
Kierkegaard said that anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
Oops -- this is embarrassing -- I did not read the article closely. You're right, the article does not recommend using a normal database cursor. Never mind.

I should have cleared that up. Normally Ψ would stand for pseudouridine, but the vaccine has a further modified base, 1-methylpseudouridine.
They did mention it a lot (though they said a lot of things, so easy to overlook).

The actual issue is that Rosetta identifies itself as a CPU without AVX so it’s clearly a homebrew bug. And in fact if you tell homebrew not to download a prebuilt binary it works fine.

My favorite SQL implementation of cursor-based keyset pagination can be found on this Hasura issue: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/141, specifically this comment: https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/issues/141#issuecom....
Something so elegant about this SQL. I enjoy it a lot.

Also really enjoy this answer about how to implement keyset pagination on multiple columns:

They actually publish books (also mainly available in download, but of course printed is better!). Most of them are free to download. Scratch2 is a real programming language, but geared towards visually teaching kids (probably adults, too) how programming and programming languages work.

Raspberry Pi was developed specifically to teach children computing. Scratch2 is a graphical programming language that comes with the default OS. There's also a special version of Minecraft that is basically meant to be hacked.

Personally I think every kid should have one, replaced freely (with limits) as necessary, automatically as part of the Education portion of your property taxes.

There are so many cool things you can connect to it (sensors, audio amplifiers, several types of cameras, robot kits, monitors, etc) and it rarely gets expensive. It definitely doesn't get boring.

The newest Raspberry Pi 4 with at least 4G of RAM (you can get 8 as well) is pretty close to what you want a desktop to be. Dual HDMI monitor outputs, too.

I sound like a salesman. I'm not. I just really like them and have a bunch of different models. The Pi 4 is so fast it really surprised me for the price. It's how I'd teach anybody to program.

As for Lego, here's how Raspberry Pi plays well with them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4l6N_6PEbU

You can buy it inside a keyboard now. I'd really recommend that. Take a look: https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-400
As someone who has used Google and GeForce Now, I can tell you Stadia’s whole cloud gaming experience is just better.
Having kids? Probably not. Raising them? Probably yes. Same with fingers: having them is more interesting if they can do something novel with them (say, play an instrument). But this being HN, I know plenty of people that travel a lot (no idea if that’s typical).

Airlines need to be extremely wary about automating things. This is an extremely sensitive matter, as it involves movement of people and people's lives.

I have been on a Viber travel group supporting people trying to get into Croatia. It consists of many American citizens. Anyways, over the past couple of days, Delta/United/Iberia have been using artificial intelligence (AI) to /automatically update/ where people can or cannot go, based off of government websites. Instead of having proper staff to look over these requirements, they use AI to screw over their customers, as the AI has errors in its interpretations for documentation required by travelers.

There have been a few people on this Viber group who have been wrongly denied boarding, right before their Christmas holiday, due to inconsistencies in the interpretations of the AI (multiple errors, type 1 and type 2), from the company Smartvel. Sadly, people of color have been the ones getting stopped more and denied boarding in the US.

This is the technology that I am talking about: https://www.smartvel.com/covid19-entry-restrictions/

This is the API plugin on Delta.com for Smartvel (fill out the to: Croatia from: USA): https://www.delta.com/us/en/plan-your-next-trip/where-we-fly

This is the API plugin on United.com for Smartvel (fill out the to: Croatia from: USA): https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/restrictions-map...

Ironically, if you booked online using KLM.com (affiliated with Delta but a European airline) or Lufthansa.com (affiliated with United but a European airline) you were not subjected to this problem, even though it was the same flight through a codeshare arrangement via the airlines.

It really is inhumane. While people may not want people flying due to the coronavirus (honestly, I don't but Croatia does need the business and I want them to see my country too), these people had their plans made and their holidays were ruined over AI. It is cruel.

By the way, I am a dual US|Croatian citizen, and if Croatia allows third country nationals, such as Americans in, then I think they should be allowed in. Also, if you spend 14 days in Croatia as an American, you can basically enter the EU without issue, but you may want to check https://reopen.europa.eu/ for entry restrictions, country-to-country. It is a loophole.

Approvals ends up solving some of this by freezing changes to approved documents.
Personally, my fingerprints often fail to read the same way over some weeks of dry climate, especially if I've done any manual labor. And before you say anything about dry skin, putting lotion on is a temporary DoS attack on the fingerprint scanners I own, so that's not great either.

I can re-train the fingerprints, and they work for some weeks again.

A more successful workaround I've found is teaching the machine the side of my finger, not the pad.

Or that he sent a hobbit with the one ring into a mountain alone where one of the two thing that were capable of destroying the ring happened to be located.

Gandalf sent Bilbo on a suicide mission into the lonely mountain to get burnt by a dragon to melt the ring avoiding the war of men and orcs entirely.
Yes, I understand that Docker caches layers. Like I said, if docker system prune is clearing a huge amount of space, it's like a large number of different images and containers that might not share layers. If you're build, running, starting, and stopping containers all day, you might not be terribly careful about exactly what you're doing each time. That's why system prune is so useful.
Been doing it this way for a while actually. Even when it's used as a limit and offset. I find it's a good way to hide the actual pagination implementation from the client and therefor easy to swap out later without the client changing. Here's an example of a `Pagination` object that I use server side to generate and parse cursors (It's written in Kotlin):

Yep, it wouldn't suffice for every use case. It would however have completely satisfied every use I've had for email so far (supposing the other parties would have been willing to furnish their addresses).

I was led to believe the heart was retained in the London soil, had been accumulateing over years and so this theory of heat piston into the system being taken as true, surely there also needs to be a process to carry heat out of the tube in order to achieve the goal.

Heat pumping could make usable energy? Or, overcool trains, park them inside, absorb heat energy and carry outside to dissipate at night?
Yep, this whole thread is one big apples-to-oranges comparison. An average software engineer is lower status than a lawyer at a top law-firm with fierce competition for every position. Well, duh. Why don't we compare a senior FAANG engineer/manager to an average legal clerk or such then.

Adding another game with good logistics to the list of games:

The Wargame series from Eugen (the most recent one being Wargames: Red Dragon)

Logistics is a huge part of it, your armies can run out of ammo, or be stranded without fuel - there are dedicated units used for resupply.

Supply dumps, supply columns, and their protection, is a big part of the game as well.
Predicting the timing of a crash is basically impossible, but predicting instability is more straightforward. To use a recent example the US stock market basically ignored COVID until mid February, but in January people where talking about an economic risks of a possible pandemic and the signs just kept getting worse.
Though you can't avoid seeing an item just before it is deleted and skipping an item just before it is created. This isn't a huge problem but does mean that the list you end up with may not be a coherent view of the database. But if you require guarantees like that then you might be better of just using SQL directly.

Or just include everything in a single response, HTTPS was designed to handle arbitrary length payloads if I recall correctly. You might want to use a more streamable format than JSON though.
To say nothing of the scrolljacking...
Besides a tremendous statistical data Christmas Bird Counts gather each year, they also have a habit of discovering some truly unusual birds. One of my favorite examples occurred last week.

A birder doing a bird count in South Carolina was in a location that only allows access for the bird count. He photographed a small sandpiper that appeared to be Little Stint, a species native to Eurasia and very rare in North America. It happened to have a metal band on its legs and close inspection of photographs were able to reveal a code that traced the bird back to Ottenby Bird Observatory off the east coast of Sweden, where it had been banded in September of this year.

Sadly both of my CBCs were cancelled this year due to concerns about pandemic.

There is also a spring/summer cousin to the CBC, the Breeding Bird Survey (BBS).

From an API evolution standpoint, cursors are a no-brainer over explicit offsets:

1. Nothing stops you from having your cursors be implemented via a SQL offset under the hood.

2. You can have your cursors be base64 data, and embed a cursor version in the ID. You can use this to change how your pagination works without breaking clients during the transition period. (You'll need to document+enforce a maximum validity for pagination tokens to do this successfully.)

3. You can encrypt your pagination tokens, so clients don't get used to making assumptions about how your pagination works under the hood. (This isn't security by obscurity, it's just defending against Hyrum's Law [1].)

It doesn't cost you much to implement cursors early on, and unlike offsets they will grow with you across the evolution of your API.

The degree to which they hype UMA (a term of art within the PC industry for decades) on that page is amusing --- if Intel did the same sort of marketing for its integrated GPUs, they would almost certainly be laughed at.
Hon Hai is the largest manufacturer of components in the World and it's Chinese (they make, for example, Apple components with the name of Foxconn)

TSMC is Chinese as well

They are in what we call Taiwan, but the status of Taiwan it's unclear and it's not officially a sovereign state, what would happen if the two China reunite under the same government?

China has also gained a big influence in Africa which is the fastest urbanizing region of the World and the second fastest region of the World for growth and it's on its way to become a 5 trillion economy

“Right now you could say that any big project in African cities that is higher than three floors or roads that are longer than three kilometers are most likely being built and engineered by the Chinese. It is ubiquitous” (source: Forbes)

They are playing the long game.

Have you considered applying Hanlon's Razor to the question?

In my experience, most people (i.e. sans pathologies) ask this question because they are ignorant and curious.

A story that might be illustrative.

A close relative of mine came to his current country from another country, but is a citizen of his new country. At social gatherings over the years, a not-uncommon question, asked by immigrants and born-citizens alike, was "Where are you from?"

There was no quicker way to become his mortal enemy, and to ruin a party!

He thought people were trying to parade his otherness, with the intent of making him feel out of place, not welcome, lesser-than, etc.

From another perspective, each question was an opportunity to educate people on his heritage, and an objectively-fascinating component of his identity (that of "The Immigrant").

Mucosal tissues are mucosal tissues. It doesn't really matter if you get it on them from a respiratory droplet that is temporarily in the air or one that has landed on your food.

Maybe. Trying to emulate other people's success always ended in failure for me whether in life or opinionated coding frameworks. Americas Test Kitchen approach to recipes when they first explain all the ways they failed is infinitely more valuable to me than just the one successful recipe.

The reason there's so much red tape related to drug development is because people were so free with drug testing in the past. There was a time when the FDA did not exist. We had a situation where people could sell anything and call it a cure without testing. Word of mouth was all that was needed to sell a cure whether it work or not. It was up to each buyer to decide if it cured the problem. We had situations where the cure was worst than the illness.

We need testing. It's the only way we can have confidence in our medical system.

Youtube has been recommending a lot of Jordan Peterson to me lately.

I know there are people who hate on him for basically misinterpretations of things he has said regarding transgender issues.

But then on top of that, there are right wing people that hate him equally much and think he's basically a nonsense-spouting sycophant.

I guess listening to the things he has to say, I think they are on par with the more useful things I ever heard from a professor at university.

Anyway, he seems to be someone people love to hate.

When I have had to build out SCM systems the bane of my existence always seems to be working with printers.

I understand that we now have wonderful tools like cups that abstract a lot of the worst of it away from us, however even today minor discrepancies between models/drivers/environments have always given me headaches. Especially when trying to deploy systems in facilities with physically antiquated hardware. I swear I would encounter issues similar to the one described in this article every time I had to make a new deployment.

I really wish this was an industry with a little more standardization.

>Like it or not they are patented https://patents.google.com/patent/US7499962 (FMA, for example)

Yeah, and AVX is also relatively new, intro'd in 2008 and first shipped in a chip in 2011. AVX2 wasn't until 2013. So even with R&D and patents happening years beforehand it'll still be a good long while before they expire (that FMA example being a case in point, not until end of 2026).

Granted in Apple's specific case that's actually not a bad thing. Precisely because AVX is so new, many Macs supported up until the last version or two of macOS didn't have it. So AVX isn't at all a widely expected dependency for the kind of older software that may never get an ARM port and in turn most needs Rosetta 2.
RTSs attract a certain personality type: the type of person that becomes an engineer, mathematician, scientist, or statistician. I met so many individuals from these career choices when I was playing RTSs that it was uncanny. Given this, it's no surprise to me that RTSs aren't wildly popular, the complexity and depth is just too much, it takes a systematizing nerd (of which there aren't many) to fully appreciate it.

I believe another reason is that these games are mostly 1-on-1, so they don't benefit from the same team play benefits and network effects as other games.

There’s nothing wrong with piggybacking on a specific platform. It’s a smart strategy to gain traction.

Fantastic analogy. To go a bit further, what surprised me when trying to choose which branch to take was how narrow each branch is. It’s not enough to pick the “software development” branch, you have to pick a specialty within that.

And, it has to be a single specialty. In my particular case, it was hard to accept that I couldn’t be both a successful programming language designer and a successful game developer.
