When I get a 300 file code review (each file with an average of 100 lines changed) on me I start to wonder if maybe we do need to gamify it just to reward people for breaking it up. Particularity when every single file is making the same set of mistakes (ie every function is prefixed with a 10 line header describing the name, and the types of the parameters - redundant with the name and type info in the one line definition), which makes it harder to find the actual changes of interest.
Lets call a spade a spade. Its not "Eccentric", he either has serious mental health issues or is an American far right conspiracy theorist. And don't you go implying that all American far right conspiracy theorists have mental health issues, that is not proven or even logical in many ways.
As an amateur astronomer you should be cheering for Starlink.

Yes, the first Starlink satellites were horrible for light pollution, especially during orbit raising. However Starlink has taken measures to mitigate this. They've added an shade to darken the satellites and they've modified their orbit raising path to avoid reflecting as much sunlight back to earth.

Starlink's goal is to be invisible to the naked eye when in final orbit. They're not quite that dark during orbit raising, but they're a lot better than they were 6 months ago. Orbit raising takes a couple of months for 1/3rd of the satellites in each launch.

Another advantage of Starlink is that they are in super low orbits. This means that they are shadowed by the Earth except for the half hour after sunset and the half hour before sunrise. There is so much refracted sunlight during these times that they aren't useful star gazing times for most.

Starlink's competitors (OneWeb, Kuiper) have none of these advantages. Kuiper may add some, but none are announced yet. They have no sunshades, are cubical so orbit raising perturbations don't help much, and are in higher orbits so are visible during the darker periods of the night.
yea, the amount of times I chose to do the hacky thing just to get it working, thinking I'll fix it later... Let's just say I never learn
Yes, and googling around for this rule is what landed me on this epic poem and test.
The paid version is well worth the extra cost, IMHO. You get tons of cool icon variations and a lot of other neat features like layers and colors that aren't properly documented until you pay up and download a kit. For the price of one license, we were able to (legally) include access to all of their icons inside our product. A heck of a deal!

Having said that, you can self-host the free version without any restrictions (other than redistributing the font files).
Ok, DNA changes occur, but physiological writing to the DNA does not happen in humans. I'll give you DNA repair, BCR/TCR rearrangement, meiosis, and also the more recently discovered LINE-1 retrotransposons - but they occur at specific times and usually in a random fashion. I don't think this fits any idea of what memory is.

If you're saying it's theoretically possible, I would agree that it might be, and that there is a potential for DNA to be memory. But to claim that DNA is memory without a known write process is premature I think.

They should make a straight-up visual Lua programming interface within Factorio. Lua/JSON objects on conveyor belts, buildings and factories with mathematical, logical, and procedural functions.

> There is no evidence that MTG does not believe that Nancy Pelosi should be murdered. There is evidence that she does. She has never apologized for it.

I have a hardcore feminist friend who repeatedly gets banned from Facebook for hyperbolic rhetoric like “kill all men.” Is that evidence she wants to kill all men? No it’s hyperbole. (And it’s stupid that Facebook bans it but the rest of the world doesn’t run by Facebook rules).

> If you, or anyone else, makes a death threat to a public figure on social media, you will be at minimum receiving a visit from law enforcement, and will be arrested if you don't immediately disavow what you said or are thought of as a threat.

The comment MTG liked, “a bullet would be quicker,” would not be perceived as a “death threat” in any court of law. It’s archetypal political hyperbole.

> "Watts" ruled that "mere political hyperbole" is not illegal, have fun in court trying to convince the judge of that.

I’d take that case in a heartbeat. It’s a straightforward application of Watts.

> Death threats are not just "distasteful rhetoric", come on.
3) The fact that you a) gloss over the rest of my post and b) don't even bother to condemn this stuff is really telling.

I condemn MTG completely. But this one is a stupid justification.

> One more thing: have you ever received a death threat from a stranger?

The whole point is that a violent comment made on a Twitter board about a public figure isn’t a death threat. If I called you up and said “I’m going to put a bullet in your head,” that’s a death threat. If I say “someone should take Ted Cruz out back and shoot him” that’s obviously not a death threat. You know this because you’ve heard this phraseology a million times.

As they have stated, it is niche game / segment. It's not easy for the team to make other successful game, either on niche genre again or more broad / casual gameplay.

Additionally, the assets, algorithms, experiences and engine are optimized for factorio-like genre, it's logical that they want to utilize them more or less.

If they start into 3d like Satisfactory or Dyson Space, I won't be that optimist. Even if they can do it, it'll take much time. It'll be amazing if they can pull it though.

I think big expansion pack will be the best course for them, bonus point if they can really expand the gameplay.

What does the mob have to do with MTG’s liking a violent comment about Pelosi a year earlier? I think MTG is a nut and should go the way of Steve King. But someone being a bigot and a nut and a conspiracy theorist isn’t an excuse for accusing them of sincerely wanting to murder people for using clearly hyperbolic rhetoric.
CPAN I think only recently got virtualenv-like support; before it was much worse and a pain. Where CPAN modules shine are they're more stable, backwards compatible, and extensible. Modules whose last release was 15 years ago work fine today, and new modules are extended on them.

It was Google. Because he didn't know what a binary tree was or something similar during the infamous Whiteboard test.

But I mean it make perfect sense. Google is all about building AI, ML, Algorithm, K8S etc. Complexity is their KPI, usefulness is not.

So may be it isn't so much a bad thing after all. He wouldn't have fit in.

Edit: I guess the tone didn't shine through. The "all about" is a figure of speech. A more accurate wording would be, in my opinion Google doesn't know how to built great "user" Product.

Can you explain exactly what you are describing:

“it doesnt deal well with multiple versions at the same time”

Also what system/os are you comparing to?
If you don't care about people overlooking things and otherwise turning in low quality work, then don't do code reviews.

In short your very words prove that you are wrong and code review is about getting to perfection. (along with types, formal proofs, tests, static analysis, and a few dozen other tools that are often used).
The gatekeeper is Pakistan, it's their sovereign territory. The Internet isn't outside of that reach, it only exists inside of a territory with the permission of the government that controls it.

You might as well be talking about any of a zillion laws within 195 different countries that one might find objectionable, it's exactly the same 'problem.'

What's the premise? Pakistan doesn't get to decide their own laws? That's identical to saying that Pakistan shouldn't get to decide how networks operate in their territory.

And if we're going there, no nations in Europe should be allowed to determine their own speech laws or restrictions because I largely disagree with them, and they also shouldn't be allowed to control or restrict any networks that operate within their borders under any circumstances, and that includes barring them from limiting any content for any reason. Fun game.

Java doesn't have LTS versions. All versions are equal, and vendors sell long-term support services to arbitrary versions of their choosing. The most recent version you can buy an LTS service for from Oracle is 11, and most, though not all vendors pick the same versions as Oracle for their support service.

BTW, LTS is mostly designed for legacy applications, i.e. those that don't see much development. The recommended version for use in production by applications that are heavily maintained is always the current version (15, and soon 16). It is true, however, that many people still misunderstand Java's LTS, and perhaps confuse it with the notion of LTS in other ecosystems, and so many choose an old version and buy LTS even if it's not the best option for them.

(I work at Oracle on OpenJDK)

As others have said, practice! Everyone has a (few) million lines of awful code in them initially.

Some recent revelations I've had in the last few years that I've been applying with great effect:

- Write code that's clear, not clever. Other people who will have to read and understand it (including your future self) won't be impressed by "clever" code, it just makes it way harder to understand.

- Write code to be disposable. I know for a fact that in a few months time I'll have to revisit my code to refactor or add new functionality, and writing it with mindset that it should solve only the current problem and nothing else prevents code creep/YAGNI.
Yes, as I acknowledged in another comment.[0]

But it's not especially relevant to the point I was responding to: this program, where police are replaced by healthcare professionals, primarily deals with people who lack housing or income, which makes the commenter's concern a lot less relevant to this particular discussion.

EMS is dispatched to calls with a similar likelihood of violence as the program described above (i.e. low, but certainly not zero). This program isn't dispatching mental health professionals to "violent individuals".
I think you will have a problem when it comes to push notifications. I doubt a local build would be able to receive push notifications addressed to App Store builds.
Author here; SQL Proxies definitely are a relevant use case. Also low latency scenarios, where you want to have the (query) capabilities and semantics of Postgres instead of an in-memory or embedded database. Depending on the workload, the advantage over TCP is signficant (see links in the post).
Isn't this just how it works already? If you install the native Apple Silicon version it seems like it either only downloads the pre-built Apple Silicon bottles (which now exist for most packages) or it builds from source. I do not think it ever downloads an x86_64 package in this mode. It was only when running Homebrew via Rosetta that this would happen.

BTW, I periodically check in Activity Monitor to see if any Intel binaries are running. The only one ever running for me so far is Signal. There is no reason to avoid Rosetta though. It is already installed and works pretty seamlessly and effectively.
Sure, but if the users could side load applications then even if the government would demand the giants to remove X app or book the user could find a way. People were listening to forbidden radio stations in secret and this was possible because DRM did not exist on the radio and TV equipment.
Linux makes heavy use of GNU technology, but the GNU OS itself is relatively unknown. Just like Chrome and Edge make heavy use of Chromium, but it is used directly by relatively few users (don't get me wrong, I was a Chromium user for years). Google may be trying to turn the Chromium browser into a "Chromium userland" rather than a browser will full capabilities.
Aw, didn't know that - that's a bummer!
Vaccination appointment schedule automation and optimization [video]
I think it was dreamed up as a way to monetise the increasing capacity of SapceX launches. They might run out of customers and so they need ways to make money out of launching. A constellation of 10k+ satellites is a good way to need lots of launches!
One thing I think would be a good addition to the existing gameplay would be adding RNG elements for more probabilistic / emergent behaviour like equipment failures and ageing, natural disasters, statistical variance in the performance of individual units of same types, manufacturing defects, etc.

Also other things that reduce gami-ness; Gaminess kills immersion in my view.
Perhaps making it easy to deplatform people at the behest of a central authority is not a good idea? I would rather not be able to deplatform Donald Trump and not have Pakistan chase my friends in the Ahmadiyya community off the internet than accept both of those outcomes
I don't like that comparison. Nowadays there's a collaborated effort to agree about standards, although the process may not always be ideal, but it's still very different from the IE era.

> I don't think they want to take on the responsibility for maintaining all those packages

That's not how a package manager works. The people responsible for APT/AUR do not maintain all the packages within the repositories themselves. This even applies to the App Store. Apple does not maintain the apps there themselves, it's up to the people publishing the apps. So there really isn't any reasons except they can't make money on it, hence it doesn't exist as an officially sanctioned way of pulling down programs.
Not what you are looking for but Flight Simulator has a 1:1 map of the Earth for its gameplay
Right... just like in EMS... Which was my point above. We don't expect our scenes to turn violent, but we're aware of the fact that there is always a risk of that happening, and we're prepared to react appropriately if it does. I assume the same is true for the STAR program.
I love fzf as well. I use it with the npm package manager to select the script to run (we have an app with 20+ scripts):

npmrf () {
local script
script=$(cat package.json | jq -r '.scripts | keys[] ' | sort | fzf) && npm run $script
}

Another usecase is tracking hours with Clockify. I was frustrated opening up the web everytime, so I wrote a script using fzf, httpie and jq. Love it now. [1]

> If you go in with a headache and get prescribed an antipsychotic, sure. If you have severe depression that just goes away with the right drug, isn't that solving the problem?

The problem is that often medication is prescribed very quickly and virtually no supervision happens. This is a very bad combination in general, but especially if the patient is suffering from a mental illness. These drugs literally list things like suicide among their side effects and it is extremely irresponsible to prescribe them to someone and then tell them to check back in 3-6 months or so. But this represents standard practice.

Since people are already doing an excellent job for free, why would they start paying them? Clearly the lack of Apple funding has not hurt the project thus far.

And some because they find Firefox unusable. On macOS, Firefox is a subpar browser—it’s awful for automation (no AppleScript support) and accessibility (with Voice Control on, say “show numbers” in both Safari and Firefox). I could go on in all the ways it lacks, especially if I referenced other HN threads where macOS users talk about Firefox. Many of us try to like Firefox, but Mozilla doesn’t make it easy.
> Google is all about building AI, ML, Algorithm, K8S

No, no big companies are "all about" anything, there is so many different areas of work, that rejecting a person because the company is "all about" X, doesn't really apply. If they wanted to work with him, they would have made it work. But they didn't, so they didn't.
I find that MacPorts is a better citizen of my laptop, but the mindshare of homebrew means that brew will have both more packages and more up to date packages.

And getting the tools team at work to vend both brew and macports seems malicious so I just suck it up there.
