Star Control II was THE defining game of my childhood. After completing the quest - with difficulty, since my command of English then was not what it is now - my brother and I spent countless hours in Melee mode.

I remember being really bored with choosing the ships by hand and so reverse engineered the Ship Team format and wrote one of my first "for myself" programs in Turbo Pascal to generate random ship combinations.

Few years ago I replaced SCII story mode and found it to be a total delight, especially now that I recognize the fine humor in English.

And now I have two sons about the same age that I was, and they got hooked on Melee as well and would play each other and myself, bringing warm happiness to my heart. One of them drew some ships for me on paper and they're on my corkboard in here, making me smile every time I look to the left.

I wish there was a SC3!

We had them.
That's one view, but I'd argue that they are both variations on the general problem of "how to run software on a computer without letting the owner of that computer actually control the software". When it's against piracy, the goal is to make sure that the software can refuse to run if it's not correctly licensed or to make sure that the user can't send its output to a recording, and when it's against cheating the goal is to make sure that the user can't modify or view the game state except through the standard game UI, but both revolve around denying the user power over software executing on their hardware.
Great read! Just wanted to chime in and say I’m working on a collaborative editing backend [1] based on Y.js, which already makes some of the things you write about possible.

For example interop between different editors, like CodeMirror and Monaco. And thanks to Y.js, the server helps with syncing, but isn’t the single source of truth anymore. It’s more like Git, where every copy has all changes.

I really hope we all can leave the cloud behind soon.

I hear this repeatedly from people. "Who cares, it's marketing, he's cheerleading", as if Elon's quotes don't have a material impact on Tesla's stock price. They'll then cry and complain about "the shorts, the shorts", and how unfair it is that they're having an impact on stock prices.

Many Republican voters would also like to know the answer to this question.

My perception is that Nvidia in particular gets a lot of heat because they have bad/buggy drivers which integrate poorly with existing package managers/distros, not just closed source drivers. Anecdotally I have at least one issue on my home desktop which is suspect is caused by Nvidia drivers and poor display hotswap on a work device which is definetly caused by Nvidia.

When I think of my 5 year old nephew and all the threats our world faces, it all seems small compared to the threat he poses to himself. And of those threats smartphone porn-addiction seems the worst. It's like giving every child a pot vape pen or alcohol flask and then wishing them "good luck".

Seriously how do parents manage this and is there any young reader that cares to comment on how it affected them? If my high school had a dropbox filled with nudes and buddies sharing links there is no chance I would be able to concentrate. At least a filter on my phone would raise the barrier between study time and porn browsing. Not saying this law is the answer but it appears to address a real problem.
It could also be true in a good way. Would it be so hard to claim that Linux users are more likely to report bugs, so the difference is not "Linux users are whiny" but "Windows users saw the same bugs and just suffered or stopped buying your program silently, while Linux users saw bugs and actually told you about it"?
Sure, California does it in the auto industry. They mandate a certain miles-per-gallon rating, some safety stuff etc., and since they're the biggest state, all the car companies go along because they don't want to lose that market.

This was circa 2013. Unity3D had barely included build options for Linux publishing, and it was a much less mature time for gaming on Linux.

So you're right, it isn't generally true today.

I personally don't use the Linux builds if the Windows version works with Proton, but I do download them for archival. I also don't submit bug reports to devs for Steamplay issues, so that's another factor.
There is a lot of case law surrounding obscenity, and courts have ruled that bans on obscenity do not necessarily violate the first amendment (there are a variety of tests involved). The rationale never seemed sound to me, but somehow I have not been appointed to the Supreme Court.

Not really. The penalty is if a minor happens to use your activated-in-the-state device to access adult content.

If you, an adult, activated it within the state and you, the adult, were the only one using it for anything (including porn) there'd be no penalty, if I understood the legislation correctly.

If you the adult owner activate the device and then deactivate the filter and then a minor uses it to access porn, there's no penalty either.
It's only big government when they do it.

Ask HN: If you designed/edited College Majors, what would they include?
Yes. In my hypothetical world where the C compiler makes use of the VLA declaration in the function arguments, it would certainly be possible for the compiler to insert automatic bounds checking in this case:

double f(xs, n)
double xs[n];
size_t n;
{
size_t _tmp0 = g(); /* temporary var created by compiler */
assert(_tmp0 < n); /* bounds check inserted by compiler */
return xs[_tmp0];
}

The key to making this possible is telling the compiler about the relationship between double* xs and size_t n; once the compiler has the knowledge that the type of xs is double [n] (array of double with first dimension n) it would be able to automatically insert dynamic bounds checks.
Please back that up with links to a legal argument or SOMETHING. I realize it’s hard to prove a negative but can you at least back it up with authoritative links of some sort?

"legitimate interest" is a legal term with specific definitions in the GDPR. (And indeed it refers to the interest of the site, not yours)

IANAL, but as I understand, it refers to data collection that is inherently needed to perform a service.

E.g., a pizza delivery service has a legitimate interest to know the address of the place where it should deliver the pizza to - because, well, otherwise they can't deliver the pizza.

In such a case, the GDPR wouldn't require the pizza place to get consent. (the GDPR requires that a service is performed even if consent is denied, so without the legitimate interest exception, the pizza place could end up in a legal catch-22 if someone ordered a pizza but denied consent to collect the address.)

The basic idea seems perfectly reasonable to me, but of course sites always tried to stretch the "legitimate interest" definition as wide as they could get away with, and this seems to be the latest iteration of that.

I have no idea where the latest fad of claiming all kinds of ridiculous things as legitimate interest as long as there is an "object" button comes from, but I imagine there was some court case that decided this was borderline legal. If anyone else knows more about this, I'd really like to know as well.

But at least I think this is why many consent popups ask the exact same questions twice, once as "consent", off by default and once as "legitimate interest", on by default: They are simply trying their luck on two separate legal avenues. (Not that this would make any sense from a UX point of view or from the intent of the law. But I guess it does make sense from a "scummy lawyer" point of view)

The program that led to a very small percentage of German nationals in the US and an even smaller percentage of German Americans in the internment camps was for German nationals that were considered to be pro-Axis. They did not mass intern German nationals, let alone German Americans. German Americans that ended up in these camps generally went voluntarily to avoid family separation. There were a lot of Nazi sympathizers in the US at the time and it's not surprising that a small percentage of German nationals may have been supportive of the Nazis in ways that were considered problematic.

Japanese internment isn't considered problematic because it led to Japanese nationals that were supporting the Japanese war efforts being interned. It's problematic because it was indiscriminate and race-based - nearly all Japanese Americans in the continental US ended in internment camps. There's no comparison here - Japanese Americans were treated substantially worse than even German nationals, actual citizens of the country the US was at war with.

> You also forget that in Japan the Emperor was a cult-like hero. The majority would have walked over a cliff for him.

I'm struggling to find a charitable interpretation for this. Could you elaborate? Are you saying that it's okay to consider Americans of national origin X traitors if the US is at war with X and the country X happens to be led by a cult-like hero?
(FYI it's Mormon*, named after the Book of Mormon)

However, (also FYI), adherents prefer if you refer to the church as "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" and members of said church "Latter-day Saints" or simply "Christians".

I know "Mormon" is a long-standing nickname and most people don't intend to use the term derogatorily, but calling Latter-day Saints "Mormons" is like nicknaming Muslims "Mohammeds" or "Qurans" or nicknaming Islam "the Mohammed Church" or "the Quran Church".

Coursera has definitely aggregated some great content, but the evaluations on most of the courses if you go for the certificate are ridiculous — it works well for auto-graded programming assignments, but so much of the other stuff is peer-graded with lots of spammy submissions, so it's barely more meaningful than e.g. a microsoft certification.

Does anyone have some experiences with their degree programmes? Curious to hear if these are more promising...
That's actually the joke here, which got a chuckle out of me. The idea is that excessively large audio latency itself has gotten cancelled.

I haven't played with it myself (it's been a few years since I was actively involved in Android audio latency), but from what I've seen, AAudio is pretty good, probably close to what the hardware is capable of. I'd very much encourage people to do empirical measurements against, for example, PipeWire (which also looks good). Do keep in mind that constraints are different on mobile, and things like power management can and do get in the way of down-to-the-wire latency.
That book is amazing. I got it also when it first came out years ago. Although I unfortunately did not finish it, I remember two exercises that left me marked:

First is the exercise of drawing the "column / two-faces" drawing. You can REALLY feel your two brain sides fighting while drawing that.

The second is the "upside down" drawing. After I finished that I was amazed that I actually had drawn that (I cannot draw a cup or a house or whatever).

The premise is that a lot of people who have the "left" side of the brain developed draw the "concepts" of what they see and they don't really draw what they see. So if someone tells me to "draw that house", I will be drawing "a roof", "a door" , "the walls" etc. Instead someone using the "right" side of the brain will actually see the house and draw what they see.

Pretty clever.
Most of us millennials grew up around near unlimited amount of free online pornography and we turned out pretty functional. It might help a lot to have functioning sex education from parents instead of pretending it does not exist.
Your tired argument falls flat.
Yes, the first admenement applies to government, but when government and private companies are so unified in task and purpose, as well as value exchange, the distinction between the two is meaningless.
So no “muh private companies” holds zero water. At all.
This is a valid point, but it’s hard to place the blame on Google/Android. I think the challenge is less of Android itself but a refusal of the OEMs to support newer OS versions. This makes business sense, but sucks for consumers.

I think Google is doing a better job with their Pixel devices. I honestly hope they try to lead the Android industry more with them.

StarCraft II: Interview with Reynor (IEM World Champion)
Utah is a Mormon state: statewide, Mormons account for nearly 62% of Utah's 3.1 million residents [1] and 91 of the 104 state legislators are Mormon [2].

The LDS teachings are against pornography (comparing it to the plague in the very first line of [3]), and a survey of 192 male Mormon college students aged 18-27 showed 100% of them considered viewing pornography "unacceptable". [4]

That Utah would pass anti-pornography bills isn't surprising, IMO.

I have filters for my kids at home. They block a lot more than smut. I'm the parent, and the government has no business here. There's no good definition for what this is, and there are a lot of things I'd consider not smut that I can imagine a virtue-signalling Utah politician calling smut. Like regular beaches. I remember talking heads complaining about some types of bikinis when I was young.

More importantly, this is the government controlling what we can see. If something's blocked that's not porn, say about Utah politicians, how will Utah citizens know? It's honestly unlikely that people in other states will make a fuss.
So working in a papers building, writing for the paper but is not an employee of the paper? I can't understand how anyone would willingly do this.

Sure, children exist.

How will it affect adults? Are they trying to make a list of registered porn watchers?

Why isn't it left to parents to teach their kids about using porn safely?

Everyone wants whatever type of government to push the issues they care about. Dems want small government when it comes to marijuana legalization, but also the Federal government should set education curriculum across the entire country or enforce country wide mask mandates. GOP wants states to be able to ban abortions and teach creationism, but chafes at the idea that states could legalize marijuana unilaterally.

It's politics, everyone is a hypocrite.
If you think that, you're not looking hard enough. There are countless incredible (and bold) indie games doing really interesting and unusual things.

Off the top of my head:

- Outer Wilds (an entire solar system is a puzzle stuck in a time loop)

- Hades (a roguelike where dying progresses the story)

- Slay the Spire (a hybrid deckbuilder/roguelike where different runs can produce drastically different gameplay and builds)

- Dead Cells (a hybrid Metroidvania/Roguelike with Diablo-style random weapon/item spawns that force the player to use different strategies with every playthrough)

- Into the Breach (from the guys who made FTL)

- Undertale (a fourth-wall-breaking RPG in which you can talk your way out of any battle, with multiple endings)

- Signs of the Sojourner (a narrative deckbuilding game where your cards represent different types of conversation)

- Her Story (a game all about watching pieces of footage from a deposition about a death... or is it a murder?... and trying to figure out what happened)

- Baba Is You (a puzzle game in which the rules are also objects in the game that can be moved and changed)

- Hypnospace Outlaw (a simulation of an alternate-reality 90's internet)

- The Stanley Parable (a game about following directions, or not following them and irritating the narrator)

- The Beginner's Guide (a narrated tour through the games of another developer, possibly without their approval)
