See the Transport Fever / Transport Fever 2 series for what I would consider the "modern" 3D equivalent... apart from the fancy graphics you also have individually simulated passengers and more freedoms in terms of track/tunnel/bridge layout, and that combined with the rail speed limit mechanics is great, but:

* no multiplayer or AI, this is all solo/sandbox play... same thing as in TTD, you're economically limited at the start, but after a certain point you just have more money than you could ever spend

* the game is performance limited, once you've grow your network and the towns on your map large enough, first the 2/3x speeds slow down to normal speed, and then eventually even that starts lagging. You can still get 100h+ playtime out of a normal map on a decent computer before it starts becoming too much of an issue, though.

* Bridge building is fairly finicky, RIP "bridge pillar collision". OpenTTD is way more limited but also way more predictable.

All in all, TTD/OpenTTD still has a lot going for it 25-30 years later, and I'll happily play both .

Gmail does not.

I used to work in that Ionica building (after Ionica left). Like Ionica, the building design was cutting edge but didn’t live up to expectations! The ‘smart’ building used computer controlled cooling towers, vents and a giant block of concrete (as a ‘thermal battery’) to manage the heating and cooling, in place of regular air conditioning. The building ran on an ancient OS/2 desktop computer - I wonder if it is still functioning?

But the system didn’t work very well at all - in winter, it was freezing cold, and in summer it got too hot. Ironically, you could open the windows by your desk to get a cooling fresh breeze of air, but then the building manager would come around and complain that you had to shut the windows, they were disrupting the ‘smart ventilation’ airflow!

Start with an obscure artist: various sites will then recommend "Radiohead". Yeah, I think I heard of them.

How about recommending other obscure stuff rather than funneling everything into mainstream?

I feel like they find other users that like the same artist, then look for other artists these users also like ... it ferrets out the lowest common denominator.

I absolutely love that episode. Any TNG story that features Picard being exited about archaeology is usually a great one.

But I agree with your point. It’s not bad to write with computer consumption in mind, unless it loses the core focus which is that a human needs to read and connect with the content, and that probably take a human to do it (at least at the moment).
Funny enough : the main problem of the previous layout derived from a large CSS-overflow of numbers with a large number of digits, that I finally fixed with "word-break:break-all".

Considering the topic of the article, large number of digits and overflow were not supposed to be a problem with Chalk :-D

> Not only is it what they intended, it is what they explicitly wrote into law as the definition

You are correct, of course.

I don't think however this is as crazy as it seems at a glance. The author(s) of the law appeared to be trying to prohibit devices that try to call many telephone customers as opposed to contacting a specific number. Calling/texting everyone in town to sell overpriced pre-paid auto repair, illegal. Calling/texting John Doe about his upcoming scheduled visit to his MD, legal. In the later case, the phone number is stored (in a database record of John's contact information) and the system "dials" that number to send him a reminder text message. Paragraph (b) in the syllabus gives two reasons why--dialing emergency numbers and tying up all lines assigned to some entity.

Remember, from Facebook's point-of-view what happened here was something like that second case. They had an existing customer account with a given contact number and used that number to communicate about that account. Deguid did not in fact have a Facebook account. Perhaps as Facebook suggests a previous user of that number did.

This is not an unknown problem. I have a phone number that gets messages about a specific apartment complex frequently. Or did, I muted that sender so if they stopped sending half a year ago I would not know. I suspect some previous user of the number lived those apartments. If Facebook had lost their case those messages would stop. But so would my reminder about office visits to my doctor and I think I would be worse off overall.
There's a lot of responses here that are based on the premise that there _is_ something to get with regards to the material these groups publish and that if you don't get it you're doing it wrong. I'm not saying there's nothing to be appreciated, but maybe the problem is that "poetry" as defined by these groups stuff written by poets pandering to poets?

This article starts claiming that people don't appreciate poetry, says that Poetry Foundation is putting in great efforts to expose people to poetry and failing, etc., but then it almost immediately concedes that people _do_ appreciate poetry, in lyrics and instapoetry.

I think the issue is that there's simply no major outlets trying to publish stuff that would actually appeal to a general audience. I've spent a lot of time trying to find publications that have fun, interesting formal verse and there's zilch. You can find massive lists of paper and digital poetry periodicals _all_ publishing free verse, every other poem about someone dying or race issues.

Insofar as lyrics are formal verse, after dozens of hours of searching for contemporary formal verse I've found:

https://thelyricmagazine.com/ - formal verse, long history, still barely going today. There's usually a couple poems each release that I think "oh, that was pretty good".

https://assesofparnassus.tumblr.com/ - also formal verse, very short poems but very carefully written. Recently I really liked "Better Read Than Dead" and "Bobcats".

Also Ursula K. Le Guin wrote formal verse!

At least according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetry_%28magazine%29 the magazine was actually founded as an avenue for poets to publish without concern for public appeal. The Editor of the commercial Rattle Magazine, "... without pretension since 1995", published this embarrassing diatribe against Instapoetry https://www.pe.com/2019/08/24/instapoetry-isnt-poetry-but-it... . If this doesn't indicate a disconnect, I don't know what does.
This site and the spotify playlists that it makes, has rekindled my interest in music after being dormant for more than a decade. Never expected that computer generated playlists could be good. Highly recommended.

I think two stated downsides have been somewhat addressed in excel in recent years:

The “high code duplication” downside has definitely been addressed in recent versions of excel, first with dynamic array formulas (which let you apply one formula to a number of cells, which can resize according to the data with use of unique/filter) and then with new expressions such as Let / Lambda.

Secondly Vlookup has been replaced with the faster, simpler and easier to read Xlookup. Using this with named ranges and dynamic arrays, if you wanted to get a students exam result from a table for example, you could have a formula that looks something like =XLookup(A2, Results_Name, Results_Score)
Computers are compromised all the time and but so far as I know banking at insertbankhere.com doesn't involve giving your browser tab root privileges on your machine in order to run its own antivirus. It's an improper separation of concerns.

Your bank also doesn't concern itself with the type of locks on your door or your car alarm. Just because something gives someone a handle on matters like the ability to see what apps are installed on your device doesn't mean its appropriate to use it.

Not allowing the bank app inappropriate access to your device means they aren't tempted to leak or misuse it.
Writing horizontally the dot would be above, so I'd assume there's support by composition.

It would still be a problem of IME and font support.

On input, there's already so many shortcuts and hacks (e.g. SHIFT/CAPS is already taken to force switch from hiragana to katakana) that it's hard to imagine some natural combination that could be memorized.

On the font side, there's already the battle raging for having proper jp fonts in smarphones instead of the chinese ones, so additional support for marginal features is an uphill battle to say the least.

Our solar system is rotating within our galaxy, presumably you have to travel quite a bit before being „away from a gravity well“. But at that „location“, there may be a lot of relative velocity to our solar system, so there will be time dilation effects - for us or them, depending on your reference frame.

...One of the first things you learn in special relativity is that there are no preferred reference frames, I still have trouble wrapping my head around that one.

Two thoughts (I didn't vote because home == office for me):

1) The list of companies is pretty odd. It has Apple but no Facebook, Google, Netflix, etc. Is there actually a large population of HN that works at e.g. all these financial institutions, oil companies, and places like Walmart/IKEA?

2) I think the votes would be a lot more valuable if they were broken up by job role. IME devs I talk to seem split somewhere 40/60-60/40 on whether they want to return to an office (to some extent) soon, but other roles (specifically managers and admin) overwhelmingly want to go back (again, IME). Grouping everyone across all roles might be too broad of a scope to have a meaningful poll result.

My office has a similar system but in a very simple version. It's just for cooling and constantly pulling air out of the basement into the offices. For a few weeks in the beginning of summer it's working fine but after the basement heats up, it's just shuffling hot air around until the building manager remembers to shut it down. The old building manager was quite good at turning it on at night and off by day to cool the building in summer nights.

I remember reading somewhere that this system had been built again in Germany by a larger corporation that issued a PR statement about that but I cannot find it anywhere.
Some in-show evidence that there may not be much variety in computing platforms is that several screens we see in different ships have the same graphical elements but have been localised to english and lang belta respectively.

Amazing video.

My only suggestion for improvement for the modeling is in the part where you tried to find the "ideal" letters for the model.

Instead of sampling generated random bitmaps and ranking those, you could instead initialize the inputs to random continuous values, then optimize the output score for the desired letter with respect to the random input (with your fixed model).

Indeed, this is how people get those trippy dog images you've probably seen.

Anyway, this video was just so good. I'm amazed.
