And beyond that interoperability isn’t a given, easy, or in the interests of game companies. Bringing a sword from Medieval Babes into Demon Masters as sensibly scaled assets when both run on different engines and were released ten years apart isn’t going to happen. Let alone transferring any sort of consistent behaviour.
I don't think it's as simple as the parent says, but I don't know better either. Talk to a lawayer.

Ok. I'll take your advice and give it the consideration which it's due. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to create a throwaway account just to tell me how to do my job. Cheers.
Fair comment. I struggle to categorize VSC in the Editor-IDE spectrum, and it may simply be a matter of market positioning. But let me take a stab at it.

The way I've seen VSC used in the wild is as a highly customizable IDE. Yes, it can be used as a minimal text editor. But it seems to want to be more than that. I've yet to see anyone using it that weren't also using it as a terminal and a bug checker and git manager and and and...

By contrast, most ST users (again, based on personal experience, I could be statistically way off) use it as a pure text/code editor, with plugins to help with code completion and such. ST can be extended, but it doesn't much care whether you choose to extend it or not. Using VSC without plugins just feels... weird, somehow? Like I'm missing the point of it?

As for whether ST can compete with VSC, I don't think it should compete. They're each appropriate for different situations. They do overlap more than any other ST "competitor", granted, but I think there are situations where VSC is the better choice, some where ST is better, and some where a full-blown IDE is the best way to go.

When the situation calls for a really great text editor, ST is, in my experience, the fastest and most productive way to go.

I think the shift from ST to VSC is due to the fact that many (most?) developers actually want an IDE, but just don't like the other ones on the market.
Someone beat me to it by 9 minutes :)

On the contrary, inflation forces you to buy products and invest in things you don't necessarily need, in order to escape the intentional destruction of your wealth. In a world where we are trying to avoid mindless consumption, inflation encourages that.

Deflation doesn't discourage investment and consumption. You still need to eat, have shelter, and pursue happiness. It increases the bar at which you will part with your money, as merely holding it has a high level of return. This is a superior system to me.
This could just be a product of the specific people I have dealt with but I have had the (dis)pleasure of dealing with quite a few outsourcing companies and GlobalLogic so far has been the only one where I felt the relationship is productive and we are getting good people.
Except for patents nobody ever has an exclusive lock on anything.

What Tesla does have is:

1. A helluva lotta actual battery cell production.

2. Practical experience deploying / analyzing / etc more Joules worth of batteries than probably anyone else.

3. Advanced battery research that is focused on more practical improvements than the pie-in-the-sky research we've seen a lot of over the past few decades ("this battery is flexible and has 10x storage of Li-ion and charges in 1 second") that never makes it out of the lab.

With (3), there is always the risk (to Tesla) that one of these futuristic battery techs actually works out and makes it into production, but until then Tesla's approach (making improvements to things we know work in production / at scale) is probably a wise one.
> The problem with governments creating welfare states is that other citizens (and the government) become responsible for the financial implosion of individuals which incentivizes stupid behavior.

At the same time, allowing extreme wealth inequality incentivizes stupid behavior on the part of capital (like wasting capital on unproductive speculation, or driving the working class foundation of the population to poverty). Welfare states put sensible checks on capital, and honestly capital should welcome policies that keep the population from doing rash things like nationalizing all their assets out of desperation.

It seems like that externality would be relatively straightforward to identify and de-incentivize. Just change the rules to allow workers to expense travel to their regular reporting location and then tax companies based on the total number above a certain floor.

Too close, in my opinion. If I said "Communication is a part of physics", it would be clear that I don't mean "all of communication is a subset of physics" and that I do mean "doing physics involves communicating your findings". I think this is the author's intention.

Edit: Actually, it does seem like the author claims mathematics is a proper subset of physics.
Nice deck! And terrific market positioning; in doing my own research of trying to get all organizational data in a single place in an otherwise non-technical organization, I've done demos of Fivetran and a few of your other competitors and your analysis of their weaknesses are spot on. I'll be giving your product a try.
Same. Aho was one of the nicest professors of my undergrad studies. He was also one of the few who actually taught well, and who placed a heavy emphasis on understanding the basics and then being able to build on top of that.
A lorentz boost is just a change of perspective. Let's say you have a bubble that is at rest with respect to your reference frame. Well, someone flying by your solar system has just as valid a reference frame as you and they see the bubble moving with respect to them. The relation between their point of view and yours is described by a lorentz boost. Same physical situation, different perspective.

Now, if special relativity holds in the large then there is no reason why they can't also construct a warp bubble. Relative to you and your bubble that bubble is in motion. Since this is allowed, we can construct a closed timelike curve with two judiciously chosen bubbles.

> Which the universe kinda already does, no?

The expansion of the universe does violate special relativity but not in a way that protects warp geometry from creating paradoxes. The kind of violation you would need would distinguish between frames of reference that SR says are equivalent.

> And further, doesn't special relativity already only hold in cases with low gravitational potential - so i.e. not in a gravitational field?

Special relativity holds well enough in most situations that the same argument applies even if you accounted for general relativity except near extreme situations like black holes

Warp drives are not permitted by any deviation from special relativity. You need specific contrived geometries of the entire universe that don't match up with what we know about it.

I think one of the major advantages of writing testable code is that you get better code and architecture for free. You end up with less stateful code, more pure functions, more clear dependencies, fewer hard coded things, flows that are understandable for humans and so on.

If a solution is so complex that writing a complete test for it is hard then the solution is probably not very good and the next coder will not enjoy debugging it.

For UX for instance I agree that automated tests are not that valuable.

> Roger Penrose argues that human intelligence can't be a computation because we can arrive at true conclusions even though they are not formally provable.

Tarski proved that it's impossible to prove truth within the same system anyway, so this isn't a strong objection and is in fact subtly incorrect. Humans don't arrive at "true" conclusions either, we just fail to find contradictions and call it good enough.

Probabilistic reasoning is just as powerful in practice as tractable computations.

I understand what you are saying and I tend to agree. But: AI would then be way more specific to computers. Science Fiction is a very broad term also applied to biology, engineering etc.

Doesn't kill it permanently; there's a fix involving connecting a CSR 2.0 dongle. There's also a workaround that sets an nvram var. Overall it's an absolute clusterfuck, though, because Apple still haven't fixed the problem.
Yes, that's a very fair point. I do think hijacking childrens' toys and entertainment as a means of social engineering is an avenue of influence. I suppose what I mean to say is that the default case is not that, and to act as if it is is perverse.

A weak simile: the fact that a relationship can be abusive does not mean that all relationships are.
What is wrong with that? There are lots of new technologies that don't solve some specific problem. They were just created in the name of science or curiosity or even just for fun. Real world , "useful" applications may not come for decades.
yeah, agreed - a good understanding of the model's statistical assumptions can often help you make the model more robust and also give you ideas for what types of feature engineering are likely to work.
A pyramid scheme pays out fake returns that were actually new investments, which requires unsustainable geometric growth. An asset bubble doesn’t depend on fraud or growth, it just keeps going until speculators’ confidence is shaken.

I am sorry some people downvoted you, this supposedly-rational forum is not immune from extreme anti-China prejudices either.

Indeed these constantly-negative news reports are ridiculous and serve further to indoctrinate everyone that "China is evil". People should visit China for themselves and understand just how screwed the media portrayals are. Today's "free speech" media seem to think that their shit doesn't stink and everything they do is holy. They can't even write positively about China's successful lockdowns and somehow manage to blow up a single case of local authorities overstretching (then getting both politically and publicly reprimanded for it) into "China covered up covid". Absolutely ridiculous.
Tesla has first mover advantage in that they secured lithium salt flats in Peru back in like 2015. Last year they announced an aggressive pathway to halving the cost of kwh storage due in part because their business depends so much on it.

I think the mistake was a lack of marketing (well, and all the mistakes that led up to that). Even making the game primarily for himself wasn't a mistake, it was all he wanted to make so it was that or no game at all.

It's reasonable to build a product for a rare audience, even of just hundreds worldwide, but you can't expect a mass-market solution like the app store to find those people for you.

If I build a roguelike I'm going to advertise to 7drl people, not to the app store in general. The same with his thing, surely there's a forum or something where he hangs out with similar people who like insanely hard clickers? Approach them.

I get that the female DNA comment might sound ignorant, but I was going down a rabbit hole about why girls play with dolls and came across the article below. It says that there might be some biological factors why girls gravitate towards things like dolls. Basically, girls might be wired to prefer “socially interesting” toys whereas boys like “mechanically interesting” toys. Obviously, it’s not 100% guaranteed what your kid is going to like based on DNA, but I thought it was an interesting article anyways.

Really cool store and in-depth dive into real problems being faced. Thanks Adam!
A lot of the "system integration" work that these big consultancies get hired for is more like configuration (of big erp systems like SAP and Oracle or whatever)? There may be some overlap but as I understand it's very different from what many people would think of when they hear software development.

Edit: I think this causes internal confusion as well, like consultancies hear "software project" and assume their team can do it because they have "software" experience, and then you end up with these disasters like you hear about from Accenture and Deloitte where they spend 10's of millions of dollars building a website that doesn't work. The parallel language in a academic, SV type tech, and tech consulting is actually a source of a lot of confusion.
I wouldn't use "Worse is Better" as a stand-in for first-mover advantage, since (as you say) there are times when the benefit of speed more than pays for the increase risk of unknowns.

I'd reserve Worse is Better for cases where (a) that speed advantage was gained by specifically choosing to ignore/hack-around a known problem, and (b) that problem/hack becomes worse due to the inertia of this approach.

The classic example is C, which has spread far and wide, as a foundation for almost all of the modern computing house-of-cards. Yet this adoption has come with memory management problems (and their associated security exploits), a foot-gun approach to macros, etc. when such issues are literally non-existent in contemporary languages like Lisp, Scheme, ML, Prolog, etc.

A military example might be the trench warfare of WW1: a quick way to avoid machine gun fire, which froze armies in place for years.

A financial example might be loan sharks.

In Bitcoin's case, the hack of trusting the longest chain and incentivising hashcash to reduce spam/overtaking has resulted in today's energy-hungry monstrosity.

Well, at the moment that hardly seems relevant since the arms governments worldwide have are SO radically powerful as to completely imbalance the relationship. Not merely physical are their weapons either.
I've contemplated the idea of a coin that has a single wallet per person (sybil-proof identities must be implemented), these wallets have a max-limit of 1 billion coins, and coins are minted/staked and applied randomly to the lowest 5%, maybe it'd have a use-it-or-lose-it thing built in as well, where if you just sit on your coins and never have any transactions occur it just assumes you might be a "dead" account and recycles a percentage of your coins for "unuse", and that percentage goes up the longer you are without any transactions until it just redistributes your entire wallet...

Example would be if you had 1 US bank account sitting on a billion, never used it, so the govt is like, well you're not using that so we'll give it to someone else lol.

I personally am against billionaires existing. So, capping a coin at 1 billion or 999 million, makes sense to me - but only if there can ever be only 1 wallet per person. There could maybe be sub-wallets, but these are more like drawers in a dresser where the dresser is the wallet, and the drawers are compartments. Maybe a compartment in the wallet is a joint compartment that you share with a spouse, child, or a business/DAO or some other form of trust...

There's a lot of things possible, that could happen... but I think PoW still makes bad sense, because we do have a global warming issue that is starting to pick up in terms of severity.

Well unless you read it as “humans do the hard part” and so a product with AI can make substantial use of computer systems as long as humans are at the helm. The definition is obviously bad because you wouldn’t consider a fire AI because a computer can’t do that. The definition needs an additional stipulation that AI is a computing program.
For Arnold, mathematics is rooted in physical intuition and experimental inquiry. Can you name some math that is completely disconnected from that intuition?

Being able to hack together code without formal education gives you a very unique skill imho. It’s not the same skill as writing large code but just as valuable and maybe even rarer as you can’t really learn how to hack things together.

Sure, but my personal ability to encourage change through a boycott is limited. A large company's ability is orders of magnitude higher. And often I don't have much choice what company I buy things from based on what's available, and even when I do, they all often have similar (or different, but just as bad) problems.

But this goes into a bit of a policy/morality/philosophy question: should companies have high moral standards, and give up market share in places where they are unable to adhere to those standards? The stock capitalist answer is probably "no, gaining market share and increasing profits is more important". Personally I think that's a fundamental problem with capitalism.

The theory is banished because there is no supporting evidence for it - compared to evolution which has an enormous amount of supporting evidence. That's science working at its best, and nothing political.

I say this as someone who once believed as you do, that you've been fooled, perhaps like me, by not honestly examining the evidence for the other side with an open mind. May you also find enlightenment.

You can dislike her, not support her, that is your choice and it is it American way. Banning her from services and de-platforming is not something should be encouraged or supported.
If you are justifying this, and saying she should find an alternative, then you should also support when people of faith refuse to service/do something that goes directly against their faith and conscious, for example.

Plus, if we are still in a Constitutional republic, and equal justice under the law is not just words, then the civil rights acts which were signed into laws all ban discrimination.

Battery storage is a great tool for leveling demand day to day, but I wonder how soon we're going to need to start looking at mechanisms for leveling seasonal demand. Many places need a lot more energy for heating in the winter, right when solar production is lowest.

Synthetic methane seems like a great solution to these problems, and very few people are talking about it. If you used DAC for CO2, or got your CO2 from organic sources, and then combined it with green hydrogen to make methane, it would be a carbon-neutral fuel, and could take advantage of all the existing infrastructure we have for natural gas. Plus, it would also bypass the problem of trying to replace millions of gas furnaces and other appliances in existing buildings. LNG is ten times more energy dense than lithium-ion batteries by volume, and a hundred times more energy dense by mass; generating methane with surplus solar energy in the summer and storing it for later use in the winter seems like it might be doable.
To be precise, 4800 if you are conservative and use the battery pack capacity of early production Tesla Model 3s (864,000 MJ / 180 MJ).
I believe you can still do this in Next.js with some extra work to exclude the JS bundle. For example, you can use a custom `_document` page and exclude the `NextScript` component [1]. It would be nice if this was supported as a first-class concept, though.
