This seems to be a longstanding trend in game dev houses across the industry worldwide, so the question is whether it was sufficient enough to cripple Cyberpunk development into its current state and whether the churn was worse than industry averages. It's not clear whether spending more money on developers would have been sufficient to make release better given Cyberpunk is the most expensive game in history and with only 30% of the budget spent on development.

Hey I broke the rules, what can I say. But that wasn't really the point. This is also an interesting take on profanity: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13412107

But let me actually amend my comment above here, it wasn't even that bad, the actual words were "lying a#s." I just felt like there was an interaction that didn't need to happen because people see different sets of comments, my original comment being nothing but fact and dry. I don't know how we can talk much about profanity derailing discussion when discussion is so fundamentally broken.
conclusion: this is a very contrived comparison
Ask HN: Is de-platforming reversible?
When I first started building things on the web in the 90's, people weren't de-platformed just for their speech or beliefs (no matter how bad it was), as long as it was legal.

Now I have to think through every little project and decide if it's going to fall on the bad side of some person at some vendor, or if even one of my users will say or do something that will do this. (Not to mention that the number of vendors that I need for any little project has exploded!) I have to wonder if my search results will be censored for me, as if I am somehow not an adult.

I can't help but feel like something very significant has been lost. It feels a lot more serious to the future of the net and to democracy than even losing a historical artifact like Geocities or Altavista.

This new way just doesn't feel sustainable. The sea change in the desirability of de-platforming, as if de-platforming your enemies is actually a good thing, just feels irreconcilable with the open ideals that the web was founded on.

Can we ever go back to how it was, and even if that were possible, would it even be desirable?
That’s not at all how it works.
Without timeouts, one of the endpoints would have to maintain dead sessions indefinitely. One cannot rely on protocols to close connections properly - stuff happens.

Well, it first needs to take the your input and pass it through the HID subsystem into userspace to the appliction, which then responds to it and sends it to the terminal, wjocj collects the output and then emulates whatever control codes there are, then updates its internal model of whatever PTY thing it is emulating, then sends that to the screen and wait for the window server to pick up on those changes and then double buffer it onto the screen…it's complicated, to say the least.
I don't remember facebook from 2012, but right now, in my feed that I carefully curate, there's very little toxicity. It's definitely an echo chamber but I offset with less biased news.

one of the problems of experts is that at the edge of their field of expertise, they aren't experts of the edge.

Quite often we are interested in things happening at the edge, and the "experts' can't really provide information at high levels of certainty.
My NDAs constrain me from saying as much as much as I'd like, but it's a mistake to think that the key to fighting abuse is "algorithms". The heart of it is always human judgment. It starts at the executive level to set policy. That policy needs to be carefully socialized to users. The user need ways to report problems. And then you need trained staff to judge the reported content.

Algorithms can help, of course. But the problem is mainly a human one.

What's considered a Nazi just keeps gradually expanding. Twitter seems at that point where any white male is a Nazi, and any woman that loses weight is enabling the white males so are therefore Nazis as well.

I'm curious to see what happens when Biden refuses to meet with any of the BLM radicals and the more senior Democratic members of congress reign in the young ones like AOC, these people have outlived their usefulness now that Trump's out 3and I don't think they're going to like what comes next.

I replied this to someone else, but I think it works here too: The irony, for me, is that if I were in favor of censorship, I would be the first person I censor, instead of using an online forum to speak in favor of censorship. I feel that there's irony in using a widely accessed medium just to talk about how censorship is the way to go.

It is still true. The latest buying by Microstrategy doubled the price (and more as more buyers piled on after the announcement), and they had to accumulate it over months.

That's how a fixed supply asset works, the price reacts to supply and demand, and sell-side liquidity dries up with expected increase in demand.

The stakes are “we lost all the user passwords”. This is a problem that can occur if e.g. the POP is logging too many things. Preventing passive collection at POPs also prevents all sorts of footguns like these that can lead to a breach, it is smart security sense IMO.
It's very clear that spending more money will not retrieve talent lost - just because you're hiring more people doesn't mean the old, internalised expert knowledge from old staff can be replaced.

The graphical details are amazing and the art direction great in cyberpunk (disregarding the bugs and stuff on console). But it's very much a high production value game, but without the singular vision that would've made it an excellent immersive sim game (ala Deux Ex). And this missing singular vision is due to the lost staff that had this element for TW3.
So what you're saying is that people are grooming young boys and girls to be transgender?

The answer is, most likely, yes. Please do not take this statement as malice - I'm an outside observer, but I believe the massive failings of the US education system are well documentated.

There is nothing wrong with conservatism, but for whatever reason there is a strong correlation between the right (at least in the last few years) and poor education.

I'd say most here can probably figure it out. I'm not saying I never get duped, but I can at least spot a total conman when I see one. It would appear many cannot.
Antitrust law is about constraining companies with excess market power, especially ones that use it in anticompetitive ways. That's a legitimate concern for companies like Google and Facebook, who dominate their markets. Twitter's popular, but as far as market power goes, it's far too small to dominate social networking.
By long time periods I meant > 1 day. Maybe for a few hours some algorithm can do it's thing mindlessly, but then some real person will look at holdings with human judgement and start worrying. But I guess it depends who you think will be doing the marketmaking, and how stupid you think they are.

Nearly every symbol traded on exchanges trades with “price/time” priority meaning that the order that rests the longest at a price fills first. This provides a very big incentive to keep orders on exchanges for a long time.

The only time there is a speed race in these symbols to _place_ an order is when they are filling in a missing level. That is providing quotes at better prices. Why would you want to make that more expensive?
Think I found them.

Using the update from the bottom of the page:

> … and M-Wave is authorized the 14-14.99 MHz at 16 kW.

I found this petition from M-Wave Networks, LLC for permission to build 4 towers in Kane County, Illinois: https://www.countyofkane.org/FDER/Zoning%20Petitions%20Docum...

The location in the petition is approx. 41.82907908782928, -88.4940281199101, which is about 16 miles (27 km) from the center coordinate of the TDOA map (41.60, -88.60). Not bad given the caveat of "the above location is likely accurate to only a few 10s of km at best."

The e-mail address in the petition has the domain tower-research.com, which is a high-frequency trading firm.

The only thing I'm confused about is that the zoning petition was discussed at the meeting on Dec 8th 2020. If it was approved, it seems remarkably fast to build a tower given that the article was from Dec 15th.

I also find it disingenuous that he dismisses the square-root of negative one as "imaginary" (not real), but doesn't appear to have a problem with algebraic numbers, negative numbers, or fractions (all of which are also extensions of the base ring).

> I’ve broken far far more phones than I’ve had to replace because they became obsolete.

This isn't just about smartphones. Table life cycles are much longer. Many of my phones and all of my tablets have outlasted the Android upgrade cycle.

Personally I don't see why it shouldn't be both (or better all three). A device that lasts long, is upgraded consistently, and the manufacturer recycles the components.

> The "make producers pay" trope is also a fallacy imho. Packaging cost is just passed through the price to the consumer. Packaging and recycling are quite cheap for most products, so unpackaged goods are barely cheaper (often even more expensive, since enviromentally conscious stuff is "premium").

It’s not a fallacy. The tax is just too low. Keep raising the tax on plastic until it curbs behavior, problem solved.

The real problem is this is an unpopular solution, as most people like the convenience of plastic, and therefore politically untenable.

It’s always been a simple solution. Keep increasing tax on fossil fuels until it reduces consumption. But that means people giving up their large spread out homes and vacations and large vehicles and plastic wrapped goods. Therefore it hasn’t happened, and probably won’t until the environment changes enough to force people.
Thanks that makes total sense. And a good rule of thumb for me to remember.

> For now it remains experimental because Irregexp is orders of magnitude faster than the new engine on most common patterns

I'm sure that an important reason for this is that thousands of man-hours have been invested optimizing Irregexp. However, is that the only explanation?

In my experience, while an NFA-based engine has better asymptotic complexity, a backtracking-based engine can be hard to beat for patterns that don't do much backtracking. In a textbook NFA automaton, the time spent maintaining a set of parallel states may be "wasted" if it turns out that the first state in the list is already going to succeed anyway.

Regex experts of Hacker News, do you know if there are any engines and/or algorithms that try to get the best of both worlds? Fast execution for patterns that don't need much backtracking, but avoiding exponential run time in the worst case?
As a side note I think that expression will need to come with a trigger warning in future.

Someone please correct me: can't gamma (the second derivative) be a constant, implying delta (first derivative) is linear? Then the price itself changes quadratically.
This debate has been happening since Anglin and Cloudflare. There was a similar discussion when Lauren Southern was banned from Patreon, and Laura Loomer isn't even allowed to order an Uber anymore.

UUIDv1s (RFC 4122 §4.2.1) also rely on several things that are even less likely to be available at early-boot:

- The clock might not be initialized; the justification for using rdrand specifically calls out embedded systems; embedded systems are also likely to have clocks that reset to some date every boot and get fixes as part of the boot process that happens later.

- The "node ID" (nominally, a MAC address) udev has not started yet and therefore has not initialized the network cards yet (in fact, if you configure it to randomize your MAC address (for privacy), the random_bytes() routine being discussed is the one that it will use to generate the MAC!) The filesystem hasn't yet been mounted, it can't use /etc/machine-id or anything like that either.
Yes... just like this message I'm typing into hacker news right now is client-server encrypted. Having any trouble reading it?

Actually, my thesis isn't that Americans are too uneducated for democracy. It's that they are being manipulated by modern technology, which education in the US has failed to keep up with, resulting in the age of misinformation and "fake news."

We live in a new era, the most stark difference being mass communication accessibility. This helps smart people become smarter, but it also helps smart people manipulate uneducated people.

My personal thesis on the issues the US is facing involves far more than the systemic defunding of education, but also on economic issues, like how our monetary system has exported labor, leading to a larger class divide and the polarization we're seeing, as well as social media companies (and news companies) having an incentive to promote inflammatory content to generate ad revenue.
I always use both. I live an active lifestyle.
It's mostly the US... New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia do it much better.

From https://perkeep.org/doc/overview :

> "The project began because I wanted to…

… store all my stuff forever, not worrying about deleting, or losing stuff.

… save stuff easily, and without categorizing it or choosing a location whenever I save it. I just want a data dumptruck that I can throw stuff at whenever.

… never lose anything because nothing can be overwritten (all blobs are content-addressable), and there’s no delete support. (optional garbage collection coming later)

be able to search for anything I once stored.

be able to browse and visualize stuff I’ve stored.

… not always be forced into a POSIX-y filesystem model. That involves thinking of where to put stuff, and most the time I don’t even want filenames. If I take a bunch of photos, those don’t have filenames (or not good ones, and not unique). They just exist. They don’t need a directory or a name. Likewise with blog posts, comments, likes, bookmarks, etc. They’re just objects.

… have a POSIX-y filesystem when I want one. And it should all be logically available on my tiny laptop’s SSD disk, even if my laptop’s disk is miniscule compared to my entire repo. That is, there should actually be a caching virtual filesystem, not a daemon running rsync in the background. If I have to have a complete copy of my data locally, or I have to “choose which folders” to sync, that’s broken.

… be able to synthesize POSIX-y filesystems from search queries over my higher-level objects. e.g. a “recent” directory of recent photos from my Android phone (this all works already in 0.1)

Not write another CMS system, ever. Perkeep should be able to store and model any type of content, so it can just be a backend for other apps.

… have backups of all my social network content I created daily on other people’s servers, to protect myself if my account is hijacked, the company goes evil, changes ownership, or goes out of business.

… have both a web UI and command-line tools, as well as a FUSE filesystem.

… be in control of my data, but also still be able to utilize big companies’ infrastructure cloud products if desired.

… be able to share content with both technical and non-technical friends.

Most of this works as of the 0.1 release, and the rest and more is in progress."

IOW, exactly what I was looking for. Sometimes I'm reminded why I still love the internet.

You're right that religion isn't taught in US schools, however, it is promoted when schools and states work as hard as they can to exclude evolution from public school curriculums.
