I have, it's worth getting, it definitely scratches the same 'must ... optimise ... better ...' itches.

It's early access but very playable and feature complete, but it does feel less polished than factorio (obviously can't compare to an 8 year development effort!)

Satisfactory is another great play for fans of the genre.

Both games are 3D, and both use the additional dimension well. You can play them fine just like factorio (I did the first runthrough) and treat 3D as eye candy, but you'll do better if you 'cut with the grain' and learn how to build 3D factories.
Same as with me and Mozilla then:

I deeply dislike that these four things happens almost simultaneously :

- firing the people who create their biggest contributions to the free and open web ab also their main source of income

- supporting other efforts all over the place

- begging for money from the "community"

Wouldn't it be saner to also verify the downloaded archive hash? It looks like the domain resolving of nginx.org is trusted without doubt.
I'd really enjoy some kind of campaign expansion, a connected series of missions with specific goals and constraints. One of the tutorials, where you need to rebuild a half destroyed base (with satellite mining bases) aiming to produce a certain number of materials as the goal, is a nice example of what a campaign mission could be.

I suspect they'll go off in a different direction, Factorio is more of a pure sandbox make your own fun kind of game but I think you could do some fun campaign stuff.
It is. There are regularly people new to programming posting questions in r/rust. Although even there most people encourage newbies to consider learning python first. Rust as a first low-level language is very common though. Lots of folks who are interested in getting closer to the metal but are put off by the idiosyncrasies and lack of guard rails of C and C++.
Factorio is my number one favourite game ever, and a large part of that is because of how open kovarex and the rest of the team has been during the whole development cycle, with the weekly development blogs etc. I've been a player for many years, and watching Factorio grow and get better over time has been very inspiring!

Nope, but it's not the same thing. NixOS can easily provide me with free rollbacks and is mostly reproducible (https://r13y.com/). The funny part about NixOS is that once someone reports a weird behavior, almost everyone will have it and can verify/fix.
I think 1:1 or even one to many teaching is amazing but more for the cutting edge stuff. It’s changing how you think more than what you know.

What? They aren't a fraternity, so I don't think drinking is mandatory.

If you look at any large organization it has these kinds of frivolous events. Among other things, they let the leadership get a sense of the social environment and how it reacts to some of their ideas with less filtering. I personally don't attend most of these events, but it is really a silly direction to assume everything that is not technically necessary is a waste of money.
Doesn't need to be hidden. Just usable with language features (e.g. pattern matching) without accessing it explicitly.
Obviously the replacement needed a combination of HTML5/CSS3/JS.
Because it's marketed as a 'big expansion pack' and not a 'dlc' they can price it at 20€ instead of 10€. Smart.

Ask HN: Where to go after becoming a senior dev?
Hello people, I was wondering how do your companies deal with the life cycle of developers. After you reach certain seniority, what else can you do?

FMPOV a senior is comfortable with:

- understanding (most of) the business.

- understanding (most of) the technology.

- relatively good communication skills.

- being able to deliver.

- writing nice code (this is subjective and possibly not empirically true, there are probably many seniors who do not necessary write good code)

It seems to me that many devs, after 3 or 4 years in a place get into a stagnation point where they look for new challenges.

What else can be done?

I think many companies (including mine) offer the "communicator" grow path. Where your role is more about talking/being a guru, but what if you are a good engineer and want to continue doing that?

Does anyone have ideas over this topic?

Thanks
I suspect the reasons these games don't are twofold: firstly it's difficult technically to get an engine to deal with such large scales effectively, and secondly it's hard to make the gameplay work around such differences. (That said, EVE has had realistic scales for space for a while, and star citizen is boasting about their engine which can handle such scales, though whether that will actually turn into a game is yet to be seen)

Show HN: Socket.ly – A fast, global-scale solution for socket.io applications
They had the main campaign like that for a while, but found that losing your build between missions didn't gel with how the game was supposed to be approached.

You are right that the main disadvantage of storing energy in hydrocarbons is the low efficiency of the complete cycle, which is indeed around 20% today.

It is likely that the efficiency can be improved a lot but it is improbable that the efficiency of the complete cycle could reach much above 50% any time soon.

So you are right, for the best efficiency rechargeable batteries are the best.

Nevertheless, there are many cases when a maximum autonomy time is more important than the efficiency, together with the possibility of storing the energy for an indefinite time without any losses (e.g. due to self-discharge). In those cases hydrocarbons are optimal.

So both technologies are necessary and each has uses for which it is the best.

For example, a healthy human can live about one month without eating, due to the stored hydrocarbons, i.e. fat.

No future robot using lithium batteries will be able to do that, while performing a similar activity level and having the size of a human.
If all you are focused on is web development, then no - python is likely not the language for you. Especially if you want to do frontend. The reason that python is popular isn't because it has particularly unique features. It's that it has a huge swathe of useful libraries that no other language even comes close to.

Numpy, scipy, matplotlib, flask, django, tensorflow, ... all the way down to tiny packages like emcee makes it an extremely compelling ecosystem to develop software in.
Hello all! My name is Tom, I'm the person behind socket.ly - a global-ready solution for socket.io apps.

Socket.ly was created after spending countless hours and weeks tweaking infrastructure, configuring global IP records, setting up custom pub/sub services, and more for past projects that required a global real-time presence. Instead of containing this knowledge to these projects, I've made it simple for everyone to create their own global-ready real-time application with minimal changes.

Socket.ly extends beyond the traditional redis adapter and offers a truly global experience for your users, no configuration necessary. Users are routed to the nearest socket.ly datacenter and messages are optimized for speed across our global network. Configuring socket.ly for your project should only take a couple of minutes!

Feel free to ask any questions or leave feedback. I'm always interested in improving and hearing how socket.ly can enhance your app's real-time experience.

You can support Servo Project independently now :

While it doesn't directly contribute to Firefox itself (for now) I think this is worth supporting
To me coding is a process to get to an end result. Since that enables me to create and use my imagination, I love coding.

In work, if I'm not working on something that I like the end result of, I don't love it as much. It just feels like work.
Key points:

> Much of what appears to be Chrome (or Chromium) functionality is, in truth, provided by servers in Google's data centers. These include bookmark synchronization, the safe-browsing feature, search suggestions, spell-checking, and more.

> On January 15, the Chromium blog carried this brief notice that, as of March 15, non-Chrome builds of Chromium would lose access to these APIs.

> Anticipating this, distributors are already wondering whether packaging Chromium is still worth the effort.

From a first read, I guessed it is time to install Firefox. However, I noticed that I: 1) don't sync bookmarks, 2) don't care for the safe-browsing feature (I understand it is the annoying message that a website is "not safe"?), 3) have my own spell-checking service. So what exactly is meant by "search suggestions"? Is Google actually disabling access to their search API? Why wouldn't this affect Firefox? Why would Google even consider doing this? And, I guess that 4) I can still use another search engine.

So, does anyone know what's hidden under "and more"? Because even if all the features from above were missing, I fail to see why this should result in Chromium being removed from distros. It's still a functional, reliable and very fast browser. I am additionally confused because Chromium without these features is more attractive to me than the current version.

> Yet [] still has the same problem while you use [] for indexing

That’s not entirely true: with [] your parse is unambiguous, the node contains everything up to the matching ], doesn’t matter whether it’s an index, a literal, a generic, … the resolution of what’s what requires more work, but you can at least build your tree.

With <> however you can’t even parse without knowing whether < is a comparison operator because the knowledge of where its rhs ends depends on that information. This issue is compounded by the right-shift problem.

Getting people to stop talking about Rust is the big challenge. No need to facilitate it.
Games do you are right, but productivity work is much like sitting at a desk in a cubicle -- just with so much much more you can do, even now. Sure, today there are a lot of caveats, like you need to touch type and transitioning between controllers and keyboard is sub optimal on the hardware side; while the software is still all 99.9% game oriented, there's no native multitasking, even little things like cut/copy/paste are a hassle. Today, your only option is some version of screen casting with all its multiple window resolution/scaling pain. But once you get it working it is hard not to be amazed working on a 10foot tall visio diagram and by the time Apple rolls anything out all these problems will have been solved for all practical purposes.

It's also possible that they are different from you (e.g. they have an IPD that's not in the range the headsets are designed for, or they are more sensitive to the vergence-accomodation-conflict) and still experience eye strain/headaches. I do own a headset and I also love beat saber and alyx, but I can't use it for too long.

>> Sports are a special case as, arguably, they're mostly boring

This only applies to american football, where you have on average 12 minutes of actual gameplay over 3.5 hour match.

Soccer or basketball are much more dynamic, and therefore can be entertaining on their own, no social context required.
remote pet detection by car computers would be a nice feature
Very happy with their plans. I got more than my moneys worth out of factorio and I'm happy to buy DLCs (if they're not a scam of course, which given their track record I doubt they will be).

But DLCs fragment the community and thats bad. So I think a big expansion DLC is indeed the best course.

> The math just doesn't add up.

Can you demonstrate that math in a comprehensive manner? I've seen this kind of claim repeated frequently and it's never supported.

> The likely biggest user of this system will be the US military and Department of Defense.

The biggest user of Starlink by an extreme margin will be consumers. It won't be a close comparison.

There will be at least a million consumers eventually using Starlink around the world. The network has capacity to handle that globally. The military is going to push that much data through Starlink? No they're not. A million consumers pushing HD video streams through it will rather comically outweigh anything the military will be doing.
Right. I shouldn't have assumed it was obvious why many people would prefer to maximize risk-adjusted returns over maximizing expected returns.

One reason, as you mention, is that most people have some goals in life. The amount of happiness gained by having $500,000 more than enough to put the kids through college, pay off the house, and retire at age 60 is less than the unhappiness of being $500,000 short of these goals. Most people's happiness isn't a linear function of their money, and it's perfectly rational to maximize happiness instead of maximizing money.

But, even if you're just trying to maximize money, the amount of leverage (loans, etc.) you can get should be related to your probability of being able to pay the loan back, so better risk-adjusted returns should allow you to get more leverage, leading to better expected returns if you're the type to maximize leverage.

Factorio: 1900 hours, DSP: 20 hours

DSP is good. It is definitely in the same vein as Factorio, but the challenges are different and it has a very cool flavor / story.

DSP is Early Access and expected to develop much further. The current state of the game is worth the price.

> Can we make that the standard and get rid of the ugly str.format(UGLINESS) syntax.

No, please.

F-strings are useful for some things, but there's a good reason. to define templates other than deep in code for ease of editing them distinct from functionality (often, completely externally to code) and using str.format supports that.

If anything, I'd prefer r-strinfs as the default with both escape handling and formatting non-default options, but the status quo is acceptable and better than r-strings as the base.

It would be nice to see a list of what it can do and what it can't do, so people can choose it for the right purpose.
