While I see what you mean, it's also true that sometimes in games everything is TOO shiny. Or the wrong "kind" of shiny -- everything looks like a freshly waxed floor, or looks wet like GP comment mentions.

Raytracing helps make realistic art possible. But it still takes a great artist to do it. There are so many subtleties to the way common surfaces reflect light that are hard to capture, even once you are given all the sliders you can dream of. My experience dabbling with Blender, was that it can be quite frustrating: you KNOW what you have set up doesn't look quite perfect yet, but you can't quite express WHY or what you need to change in the material definition to fix it. So you end up settling for "ok", meaning the resulting render looks pleasing -- but it still looks like a render.

But I guess that's why I'm not an artist.
I use Jekyll + GitHub Pages for my personal tech blog. Posts are written in plain 'md' files that once pushed to the remote repo trigger the generation of final HTML pages. I love the simplicity, and that I don't have to worry about hosting. Not to mention that is completely free.
This is incredibly unhelpful and un-persuasive.
I moved into a new downtown apartment in a major midwestern city back in April thinking this would be over by May. Now I'm stuck in a dystopian downtown. My lease is up in April though. I'm looking forward to putting everything in a POD and heading back to where I grew up in small town America. Hopefully it will help all cities go back to reasonable prices, for people who still want to live there.
I’ve found that in themes that use WPBakery or ACF for layout is that there is definitely a happy path that involves swapping your text into one of their provided templates and calling it a day.
Excuse my ignorance but a funny thought popped up in my head. If we start bringing material from asteroids the total mass of Earth will increase over time. How much material can we bring on Earth safely without affecting the Moon and our planet's course around the Sun?

"Back to normal"

Do you have a source on this? From what I've seen, Vancouver real estate (and Toronto) is still ludicrous (given Canadian wages).

I'd also like to see a vacancy tax or perhaps an even more directed law prohibiting foreign ownership of a certain level. Then again, I'd also like to see Prop 13 not apply to commercial property, not be passed on in inheritance, and not apply to non-primary residences, but these ideas all seem to be nonsensical in CA legislators and citizens' minds.
I’m not sure why, but a surprising number of people seem to have convinced themselves that supply and demand doesn’t apply to housing.
"Potential signs of life on Venus are fading fast

...But those results have since come under scrutiny, including from the original discovery team, which, citing a calibration error in one telescope it used, has downgraded the strength of its claim. Although the proponents remain confident of a phosphine detection, other astronomers have suggested that sulfur dioxide, which makes up most clouds on Venus, could have caused a similar absorption, among other critiques. ..."

Your parent comment isn't talking about the difficulty of closing the transaction, but initiating it.
cu·ra·tion
/kyəˈrāSHən/
noun

the action or process of selecting, organizing, and looking after the items in a collection or exhibition.

I don't understand what you're getting at. The universe doesn't appear to assign any intrinsic value to anything, it is only there by virtue of someone that's willing to pay. So yes, the fact that someone found this collection of minerals from a specific source worth the price of collecting it is why we have these photos.
Active Active Postgres Federation on Kubernetes
It is not. I think the idea comes from the fact that people have this idea of "developers" as people who work for startups or FAANG companies. Most developers work in unsexy industries and in boring places. Insurance companies in Indiana, a hospital Utah, an manufacturing plant outside of Houston, etc.

There's also the fact that middle-aged developers raising families don't have time to blog and be "influencers" on social media.

That being said, ageism is definitely an issue in the industry. A lot of it has to do with so many companies having an "FTE" based approach to viewing things. Some moron with an MBA and no actual real-world skills sees a 55 year-old developer and thinks, "I can replace him with two new grads and still have money left over".
We use Magento 2. Once you get over the fact that the XML system is batshit insane and start to work with it, it's not a horrible system to develop with.
It looks way more than few milligrams.
The Plague Year
> Most small farmers I know have modest incomes or less.

I guess that depends on your perspective. As a small farmer, the per-hour income is incredible, putting my earning potential as a developer to shame. But it doesn't require many hours of my time.

> Many also need to work another job.

Since it doesn't require many hours of my time, it seems reasonable to spend that time doing something else. Sitting around watching TV all day would get old pretty fast.
The whole toolchain just makes this assumption, and we want to build it the same way Fedora is built for other arches. Plus we're expecting server-class RISC-V hardware soon enough, at least comparable to ARM servers.
I don't understand your question, but what I do understand seems interesting enough that I want to understand it.

Grass fed livestock is indeed a large portion of the world's meat consumption. Places like Argentina, Brazil, New Zealand, England, Texas have a great deal of cows, sheep, and goats walking the land and not fed through a trough. Please account those in your calculations of what it would take to replace a cow with a pile of corn.
True top-down (allowing software rotation) is as cheap art-wise as side view is, but the only indie hit I can think of that used it was Hotline Miami. It's a very unpopular art style.

Isometric views take wildly more art assets than side view. Notice how there are far fewer indie overhead adventure games than there are indie platformers. The engines for these are nearly identical, and Zelda is just as much of a cultural touchstone as Mario. I attribute this to these games taking 3x or 5x the art assets.

Needing multiplayer and pathfinding are good points. I don't think RTS multiplayer is particularly hard (the hundreds of units hardly matter if you're doing it right), but the fact that everyone expects the genre to have multiplayer at all is still a significant barrier to entry. Mass pathfinding is definitely a problem - the discussions I've seen online about it are mostly people confidently telling each other to use A*, which really isn't sufficient in an RTS.

I don't think design problems are that important for indie games. If the barrier to entry is low enough, there will be enough games to brute force the design.

I'm also not a fan of Gutenberg, which is why I still use the classic editor... which they make harder and harder to find with each update.
Maybe because people being pedantic gatekeepers about what is and isn't a true lisp is tedious.

In my experience (which is admitttedly mostly anecdotal, but comes from having attended a number of public forums/planning meetings etc.) another huge group of people fighting hard against new development are the ultra-left wing of SF local politics. These people aren't against new housing per se, they are just rabidly anti-developer. They spend so much time delaying projects by trying to get developers to increase the amount of below-market rate housing in their new developments that the developer eventually just gives up because the whole process takes so long and the potential profits dwindle down to nothing.
Humans are also quite bad at distinguishing between linear versus exponential harms. Suffering the effects of air pollution doesn’t cause your family, friends, and coworkers to be at risk of the same.
Opportunistic Ransomware Devastating MySQL Servers
> it's been outmoded by superior technology

I assume you mean natural gas, since renewables are still a small portion of the overall energy mix.

Bear in mind that fracked gas wells decline much faster than conventional ones, and the only reason gas is so cheap is due to fracked wells. It's anybody's guess how long this "superior technology" will last.

Let's also not ignore the fact that coal use has effectively been exported to China as the UK/US increasingly rely on manufacturing abroad. We still share a single atmosphere, and global coal consumption is up 6.2% from 2010, regardless of how much the UK/US have reduced their specific share: https://www.worldometers.info/coal/
>will try and sell you on a “kitchen” that is a mini-fridge, tiny sink, microwave and a hot plate whilst still charging you full rent.

To be fair, that is a Kitchen to a great number of people on this planet.

I shared a mini fridge, tiny sink, and a hot plate with 2 other roommates when I lived in Paris for a few months and the rent was not cheap their either.

Was about 2,000 Euros/mo 15 years ago iirc.
I'd put it in the same category as using Yandex as your email provider. That is, probably somewhat safer from "5 eyes", but open to Russia. There's probably people for who that's a valid, useful setup.
Some of these are cool, but I have a few objections to these being the "coolest".

These keyboards all appear to have Cherry MX (or clone) switches. So yes, they are custom, but they are somewhat uniform in the switches themselves.

60% keyboards are a gimmick. The addition of arrow keys and a nav cluster adds an inch to the physical footprint and doesn't affect ergonomics or portability enough to matter.

Unless you routinely type in Japanese, Japanese legends do not add anything but visual clutter.

I don't think any of these are office friendly. Too many bright colors and noisy switches.

This comes down to preference I suppose, but from the /r/mkb subreddit it seems that the demographics of mechanical keyboard community is mostly guys in their teens to mid-twenties and mostly gamers, not programmers and power users. I think it's cool that mechanical keyboards are coming back, but it's unfortunate that stock/custom options are so limited. Maybe this will improve as the community grows up.
Electricity is only 15-20% of a country's electricity. Add to that. In order to secure reliable energy, coal, oil, gas or nuclear are needed and because of the politically driven focus and preference of wind it make the energy net more expensive for the consumer. The general discussion about energy as we see here is extremely superficial.
What software system would be used to do the same modelling and study if it had to be done today?
Be careful what you wish for. 25% of Norwegian men never father children, and 15% of Norwegian women too.

So in the end men who never father children are being taxed for other men's children. Is that moral?

The easier, ethical way to increase fertility back is to bring morality back to society. If you make sure your kids are raised near other people like you, you cheat the system that the most advantaged people in society have (better looking, better finances etc). Why isn't the character of a person a valuable trait? It's because people who have those traits take it for granted, and those with other traits want character as a trait to be devalued. Imagine if every man would taught their daughter/son/wife to judge people by their character. Taught that loyalty is a virtue.

And then only let their children hang out with people who also value those with character.

Current society is bad for men and women. Men who would also want sons? What if your son is ugly? Women who would want both daughter and son? Can they ensure that their son will have a nice life? They cannot. Even if those women/men go for someone with model tier looks, they will likely be less good lookin than them. And someone else will always be better looking than them. Better finances than them.

There is no winning for anyone longer term like this. It doesn't matter if you're the richest person. Or the best looking one. Someone must lose in today's game. And if you don't lose today, someone from your descendants will. Why?

Humans are intelligent enough to understand these things, and we're likely the end of prime biological evolution. The next step is obviously not humans. What's there to fight for?

Nothing. Maybe bear the fruits of the collective hard work ancestors have done? As peter thiel said, competition is for losers. Stop competing in a rat race.

Yep, except instead of "boring," they say "walkable." I can't say I disagree.
Commercial real estate rents work differently, at least in America, because of how they’re financed. Unlike residential housing, commercial buildings are continuously refinanced. When the owner of a commercial building gets a new mortgage on their building, the potential for rent is weighed more by the banks than the current rent. The way the math works out, it’s much better for a commercial land lord to leave a unit empty for a surprising amount of time rather than reduce rent, because the impact on financing costs is typically larger than lost rent.
Nobody really needs someone with 30 years of general experience because each such person is unique, impossible to completely replace. If you have the level of expertise that comes from real understanding of six different fields attained from five years of good work in them you might literally be the only person with that combination of skills. There are definitely under a 1,000 of you. If you have 30 years of experience but maybe five of real learning then you’re presumably competent but you’re not super special, just competent and known to be competent. After 30 years in the same field you could be one of those people with serious deep expertise. Those people are valuable but the market is thin. You need to make your skills known so work finds you through your network, or you need to become a consultant in spirit if not fact and sell. Loudly trumpet your expertise.
It's not clear yet but the dose makes the poison. The amount you get exposed to through Teflon clothing is unlikely to be enough to cause any issues. Animals and people having health problems were directly exposed to large amounts, such as working with them.

Besides, they've been phased out of new clothing. If you got something new they shouldn't have the same PFAS and PFOS, although it wouldn't be surprising if the new shorter chain replacements have similar issues.

I assume there's going to be a pretty big difference between bootstrapped and funded startups. Efficiency is nice, but you need some runway too. Even if you move fast, your clients probably aren't and you need to last until the momentum gets going.

On the other hand, it's likely many are going too far, there's no point in being a zombie company for years. If you fail, better fail fast.
Is ageism a thing or is it just the fact that in every industry there is a push to move up the ladder?
You are just not supposed to be doing grunt work at 50. This is true of all professions. People below you don't want you to be occupying their spot, and people above you have a hard time with a guy who is senior to them in age and experience.
Yeah - not sure why this is viewed as a security bonus.
That would be one strange benchmark then. It would have to be benchmarking something other than the code in question.

Simple analogy: let's say you have a program that has 10 functions in it. You write a benchmark that exercises one of these and never (no, not once, never) calls the other functions. The other 9 are truly dead code. Would you expect the benchmark result to be different between that and a program that only included the one function being benchmarked?
If you’re in CA, you can probably break the lease if you really want to. You might be able to negotiate a rent reduction at least to save you both some hassle.

Yes cash, but not necessarily foreign. I recently went through the process of placing bids on 2 houses in SF and both had cash offers higher and both cash offers came from local residents already living in SF.
This just doesn't strike me as true at all. Most of my children's books have very non-descript settings that begin in non-connected single family houses. But regardless of that framing, so many of my kids' books dive into the realm of the protagonist's imagination.

This honestly just sounds like another indirect shot taken at suburban life. I get it, internet content writers disproportionately live in the big cities, but to quote the Dude, this is just like, your opinion, man.
There was a flash(possibly shockwave actually) version online as a demo iirc but the Dreamcast game was native and not based on the WinCE SDK.
Just to toss another hat in the ring - people who are interested in a tool that has a lot of same performance/hotkey characteristics as Linear but takes a different approach to what a product management tool/issue tracker should be should take a look at Kitemaker (YC W21) [0]. We've also got great integrations to Github, Slack, Figma, etc. We've got a pretty generous free tier so you can try it out for quite a while with your team before you need to pay.

Exactly this. I bought a mechanical keyboard and the ergonomics are so atrocious I had pain in wrists and shoulders after a single day of use, and had to go back to a cheap Dell keyboard that came with a refurbished PC I bought years ago.
It will make sense to mine them for construction projects in space before dropping them to earth. But given the size and composition of some of these objects, mining asteroids could eventually answer a lot of resource scarcity.
"Hard work" is ultimately just a simple metaphor. I would characterize the advice here as maneuvering into a niche in your field with the highest demand for labor and with less competition (i.e. the niche using the most up-to-date technologies).

You are just restating the issue but shifting the blame. The is still the lack of supply to meet demand, and blaming all that demand on foreign investment doesn't fundamentally change the issue.
> Foreign investment is demand.

demand for investing in the limited supply of apartments based on their profitability is not the same thing as demand for the actual product of housing, which is what supply and demand in the housing market is supposed to be about - you're basically proving the point that incentives here are perverse

I agree. I was trying to think of what a suburban story would look like. The cities have things like museums or the zoo. The country has natural things to explore. The suburbs are basically a bunch of houses with yards - not a lot of opportunity for childhood adventure stories.
Young people are mainly more easily influenced.

It's far easier to convince a young person without a family nor passion in life to work for 12 hours a day for little money rather than experienced people.

It's also far easier to sell hyped, useless technological solutions to young, non-experienced people who don't understand the problem to solve.

I say this as a young developer who took too much time to recover from the marketing hype maintained by money seeking vendors.
The third section of the article titled "3. The instrumental role of task difficulty." goes into how "people misperceive how hard the task is across the population" based on task difficulty, and quotes a good amount of research that shows this is true.

It seems pretty intuitive why people would use task difficulty as a heuristic for relative performance.
For a lot of that pursue white-hat career, it comes down to:

1. Principle - Some people are raised with really high morals and don't optimize for money. Depending on their own conscience, they wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

2. Obeying the law - Although one can easily make more money by using or selling these exploits, it can be a very dark path to dig yourself in. And depending on where you live the risk for life ruining litigation is very high too.

3. Brand reputation / Brand building / Professionalism - one can see that they can make more money for their own by building a solid portfolio of their achievements, and these bounties are a really strong signal when corporations look for security consulting. It also builds a good reputation which is really hard to build when doing white hat hacking for a living.
