That's true. But the oldest isn't necessarily the best; civilization happened at roughly the same time text started becoming widespread, and that doesn't seem like a coincidence.

It's also interesting that 3D is so hard to translate into a usable context in computing. VR has felt like a second-class citizen compared to a mouse and keyboard in terms of usability. Not that the two are mutually exclusive – it was nice having as many giant monitors as you wanted in a 3D space.

What's needed is a 3D web browser, with websites connected with portals that you can walk through. I think gather.town is surprisingly close to that. http://gather.town/

The reason human knowledge develops so fast is the existence of text. If we rely on visual in 3D we will be the same as other animals. Apparently now we are behaving badly since we are consuming videos and pictures rather than text.
I believe text is superior because of its abstraction, when you read, you are creating alongside the author.
Factorio by its nature does tend to feel a bit like work, whether that's a good thing or not is going to depend on your personality.

Whether I enjoy it depends very much what I'm doing in my actual job, if I'm in a period where I'm hands on writing code every day then finishing work and playing a game which is about incrementally building a system that inevitably needs refactoring or completely rebuilding to meet new requirements isn't much fun. If I'm in a period where the day job is planning projects, or supervising things with a long term payoff, Factorio is great for the satisfaction of picking it up and being able to achieve something concrete in a few hours.

Just remember, on at least your first 10 or so runs, what you think is a massive base that just needs some incremental improvements really isn't. Its the base you build in order to build the components for your actual base.
Loads of them are better handled outside of corporate/industrial medicine too. I’m very excited for medical advances etc however I don’t think modern medicinal therapies should be the default treatment option they are. Even my rheumatologist was 1) surprised I handled my condition without prescription medicine and pushed back when he suggested it and 2) at the results of my blood tests that showed my 100% diet based approach was working. My rule of thumb is that unless the pain and lifestyle impacts are unbearable or the treatment fixes the problem outright then an alternative approach is more desirable.

Mentalist tricks. You were all exposed to the picture in some form before walking into the room.
Some people are less susceptible than others.

How the trick works is all about exploiting what people affiliate with something. So the picture is an elephant? Remind people that mice exists ("oh im a little late, we had an exterminator get rid of a bunch of mice today")
Feed the occupants peanuts and have big fucking ears yourself.
At some point people are gonna think elephant, a percentage of those people will draw an elephant.

You get the point.

Working remotely alone didn't help me there, because I worked in a bunch of toxic companies.

People would call me at 8am because something was broken etc.

Things that helped more were:

- Self-employment, because people have to ask for my time at least one day in advance.

- Working international, because people in other timezones know you aren't awake.

- Doing technical writing instead of software development, because it's less time critical and texts don't tend to break suddendly.

And then you always forget what you need to do after you didn't do it for months. I have a blog project (written with pelican) where I submodule the whole pelican-plugins project which is, basically, again a compendium of submodules.

Now when running Python creates pycache-folders in the submodules and other stuff in the directories sometimes changes a bit while running.

When it comes to updating the plugins-submodule, I have to go through every sub-submodule and git clean it and reset it so that I can pin a new version for the submodule, and then update all sub-submodules. Mind you, I have not found it easier to delete the whole submodule-tree and re-initialise it.
Naive Bayes Algorithm for Beginners
Do you understand the difference between US vs EU markets? As in: demographics issues, language issues, product targeting issues?

There are no good European alternatives due to a conflation of these issues, not just because of regulations, that's such a naive (or willingly ignorant) take on a complex issue.

How would European tech companies start and compete against FAANG right now? Given that the EU market is quite fragmented between demographics and language? How can an European tech company avoid being acqui-hired or acqui-killed by one of the current massive tech giants?

If you don't develop your arguments of what kind of regulation holds EU tech companies back and posit that against the issues I mentioned then I can't really trust you understand the problem and differences between markets that give benefits to the US economy, as it always had, it's a massive and more homogeneous economy than the EU.

Let's compare US vs China tech as that seems more of an appropriate comparison from the baseline.
I found the per-directory "suggest-while-typing" history in Fish (and Zsh with the right extension) very intuitive. It speeds up getting around the filesystem, and to common locations tremendously, and of course also remembers regular commands. And it "just works", there is nothing to setup and no commands to remember.
Why would most places bother with the expense of a fireplace really designed to heat a room?

I can assure you that most new construction in Oslo (pretty much only apartments these days) don't include fireplaces. And why would they? With steam pipes running through much of the city, there's no need for the expense and pollution involved with a fireplace except for show anyway.

The fact is that cities in the US, like in Europe, generally have very reliable power and gas supplies, so they don't need to build fireplaces designed to actually heat the place, and we don't want to encourage people in cities to burn wood to heat their place anyway. So showplace fireplaces, especially the gas ones, are a better solution for allowing people to have the cozy feeling when they want it.
Might be, but nevertheless technology makes those problems worse and is optimised to exploit individuals who are already vulnerable.

As another example, many F2P mobile games have the concept of "whales", individual players who invest absolutely unwarranted amounts of money into a game. Is this healthy player behaviour? Of course not and no game dev would say it is. Is there a majority of players who manage to play in a healthy way? Usually there is. Nevertheless, a significant part of funding for those games comes from the few whales, so the game only works as a business because some players get addicted to it.

You're right; the medium definitely shaped the message here. I've worked with and near many native and web teams, and have observed the engineering conversations of the folks from entry level to senior level. The difference in perspective and execution is notable each time. More interestingly, a transition transition from one side to another also changes perspective and conversation.

The community culture obviously also influences these discourse, but a surprisingly large chunk of the regard or disregard for UI/UX comes from using the tools you're provided by the platform, so much that unfortunately (or fortunately, if you've chosen the right platform), these factors influence one's learning and result much more so than even hard work and talent. A change of perspective is worth 80 IQ points, like Alan Kay said.

Now, before yinz flip out, you asked a question, and I will give you my honest answer. The way I see it. No fluff.

This was supposed to be the site where the creme de la creme, the best of the best, Silicon Valley stalwarts discuss the cutting edge of computer science.

Instead, n-gate.com correctly identified that it's a web site where "hacker news" with no formal education in computer science marvel like a turkey marvels its own excrement when they discover some tried and true technology. Oh, and they keep marveling at wheel reinventions. And you know what? One could say that it gets tiresome after a while, but it's far worse: it's deeply demoralizing, and makes those of us passionate about computer science deeply resent the information technology industry. And then we try to tell you how things should work, and instead of asking questions, yinz just start arguing and pushing reinvented, completely unnecessary wheels like "Kubernetes", "Docker", "Ansible", "Linux" because it's easier to mess around than warm up the chair and learn or listen to experience. The people on this website made me hate computers, because if this is the best our industry has to offer, it's devastating. So I understand where pjmlp is coming from. It's why I've all but withdrawn from here and don't bother posting anything any more.

Many people underestimate the worth of two educated parents looking out for you. I love my parents, but I can only rely on them for emotional support. Somehow I ended up being far more academically gifted than both of them and it made me end up in a very alien environment. I'm starting to become content with mediocrity since I've already climbed a significant rung in the social ladder in my eyes. I think that an understanding parent or close one can really support you in getting out of such a comfort zone. On the other hand, someone who has grown up without any support whatsoever might have build up enough autonomy to get out of such a spot without help.

Photography is about 200 years old. Film (moving images) is about 100 years old. The ability to easy create video is about 20 years old.

Compare all of that to text, which is at least thousands of years old. And then compare text to speech, which is hundreds of thousands of years old. Had a way to record and replay audio been developed before writing, it’s likely that you’d be listening to this comment right now, not reading it.

I’d say we’re at the extreme beginning of a highly audiovisual age. A millennium or two from now, writing “dead” words might seem as ancient to our descendants as foot messengers appear to us: useful for particular purposes but mostly irrelevant.

I feel that Pixar’s mastery of storytelling is overrated. Coco was lovely but I find their movies to be needlessly sad and curiously episodic in form. In “UP”, each sequence was very well crafted but they fit together randomly as though each scene was brainstormed by a group.

They lack a singular vision in their films, there are no auteurs at Pixar: just art by committee. This isn’t to say that their stories are bad, though they are sometimes lukewarm. Except for the Pixar level of excellence in the visuals and animation, which to be clear are admirable on their own, I feel that their movies lack identity. I wouldn’t want their model to become adopted by everyone.

They love and study Miyazaki but don’t seem to trust any one person to direct a film. Everything must be put through a committee.

I would very much prefer a CG animation course by them. Or a full overview of their pipeline, asset management, USD implementation. Their technical chops are probably best in the world.

Maybe they could do something like release a public version of Presto. Or help out with animation and rigging code with the blender foundation.
Yes, but it all depends on many other things. For example, you can't have good science without good education, stable political system, and economy. So you need to invest in many other things while you have limited budget. Not just Solar System is important: we're waiting for a launch of James Webb Space Telescope like 15 years now.
Protective equipment is typically used to protect people, not products.

1. Tests detect errors at runtime. Typing is completely redundant when you have even half-decent tests.

2. Comments, good variable and function names provides documentation too.

3. Not really. TypeScript is not faster than JavaScript for example. Even in certain cases where they are faster (e.g. comparing C/C++ with JavaScript), the max speedup is typically less than 40% in the absolute best use cases.. For the average case (typical program) the speedup is typically insignificant (like 5%, 10%...). Also, static types don't stop people from writing inefficient algorithms.

On the other hand, statically typed languages with a build step slow down the develop/test iteration speed. In the case of TypeScript, transpilers add complexity to the project in many ways including compatibility issues (since now you have to worry about not just Node.js or Browser version but also TypeScript version and the different permutations)... Source mapping doesn't work right in certain environments. The output often looks mangled and is hard to debug in a constrained remote environment. Takes more time to setup. Adds many unnecessary dependencies to your project. Makes your software harder to integrate by third-parties since your schema is more rigid and might not correspond with their own type system. They encourage developers to define complex function signatures with complex interfaces and encourage passing instance references instead of simple copy-by-value primitives.. The drawbacks are significant and I could keep listing them all day.

I don't think you can generalize American fireplaces. Every fireplace I've personally encountered has been traditional wood burning and absolutely heats up the room well past the time the fire is actually lit (American Northeast). I haven't actually been in a home with a gas-burning fireplace.

But more importantly - the gas fireplaces are intended to look nice with minimal effort. They are explicitly not intended to change the indoor climate much if at all. They're usually built in very new homes that have dedicated, reliable climate control systems or in cities that don't require much heating.
as an example - most US police organizations are structurally placed to be above a lot of the law in their state, which is why we always hear about police officers killing people and getting a suspension with pay etc.

the most common structural placement of your organization above the law is to have the organization investigate its own wrongdoing.
The 51% attack you are thinking of applies only to transaction ordering and inclusion in blocks and does not apply to consensus rules (like the 21M limit). Anyone (one miner, 5%, 51%, 80%, ...) who decides to change these rules is free to do so and will split off in a new coin.

These splits have already happened multiple times (Bitcoin Gold, SV, ABC, Cash) and most claim to be "the real Bitcoin". They are all either dead or valued <1/100 of BTC.

Looking for an Article on Hiring Developers
I'm trying to find an article where the author was explaining how to deliver effective interviews and he was arguing:

* task and whiteboard based interviews suck
* best developers will type extremely fast, but think even faster
* so you only sit with them for 45 minutes and ask the solve a problem. stop there if they are not great at this step
* cultural interviews, while a necessary evil, are basically tossing a coin

I remember not agreeing with everything they said but still want to go back and get some ideas. I swear I saw it on HN but I spent the last 40 minutes searching it.
Pat Gelsinger’s Memo to Intel Employees
The quote is particularly relevant when discussing space though. It's specifically the weight to data ratio that's called out as decadent. Something that's more relevant if you're used to travel with severe constraints on weight much more often than we are.

I agree that it's inevitable that things move that way - my only paper books in recent years have been to complete my collection of Ian Banks because that particular edition looks gorgeous, and Stålenhag's art books. I don't anticipate buying more paper copies of novels or textbooks unless there are books I can't find in digital version.

But at the same time, I just published a scifi novel and was surprised at how large a proportion of sales are still made up by paperback (not exactly selling millions, so it's not exactly a large sample of the market). It seems like it will take a long time before paper books become unusual to the point of being considered decadent.
Case in point: text messaging. Quoting the Spolsky ('Not Just Usability', 2004) speaking about "social user interfaces."

Many humans are less inhibited when they’re typing than when they are speaking face-to-face. Teenagers are less shy. With cellphone text messages, they’re more likely to ask each other out on dates. That genre of software was so successful socially that it’s radically improving millions of people’s love lives (or at least their social calendars). Even though text messaging has a ghastly user interface, it became extremely popular with the kids. The joke of it is that there’s a much better user interface built into every cellphone for human to human communication: this clever thing called “phone calls.”

It's not just dates. It's "How ru?" & "running 3m late" and such. This has advanced to where text messaging is now a distinct written dialect, unintelligible to someone from 1993. Meanwhile, voice messages and such are more peripheral... even though they now work through the same UIs and we all have earpieces in our ears anyway. Text is powerful.

That said, text is not always the most powerful media. Photos/selfies and such have become a major 1-to-1 communication medium too. I often find that a phone conversation way more efficient than an email chain.

I also think there are categories of writing that shouldn't be. "Number articles" where an article is describing a company's financial's, for example. A lot of newspapers try to describe a table in essay form. The table would be better. That is still text though, in the sense that this article uses the term.

Choosing the most powerful medium or submedium is crucially important.
