And? You are saying every game should have some “good guys”, because…?

There are plenty of movies and books without “good guys”, so it’s reasonable there should be games too. After all, this situation is often closer to reality than the manichean “one side is Right” mindset, and actually spurs critical analysis of everyday situations more than the usual mindless “kill the Nazis”.
Back in my VB6 days, I created a custom error handling framework to provide something like try/catch semantics. Part of the toolkit was an IDE extension which added (or stripped) line numbers and boilerplate entry/exit code to functions.

It was game-changing to be able to immediately pinpoint most issues right down to the line number (especially along with the stack trace I generated). Could never understand why we didn't have more languages that let you do that.

And before HN chastizes me... I did try several other third party error handling frameworks first (some very expensive) - they were all buggy and crap, that's why I rolled my own. Even brought that tech along to some clients I consulted for a decade later and it helped devs speed up debugging their enterprise software.
Openstreetmap fits IMHO also into this category. Personally, if I could save one website, I might choose OSM ;)
the only recent-ish safety feature i've found genuinely useful is the backup camera, which does aid low-ground reverse visibility. all the rest can go in the trash bin, especially lane-keeping warnings and auto-braking, which tend to reduce driver alertness and increase distractedness, the overwhelming principal cause of collisions and death (not speed or intoxication, as are commonly assumed).
A more generic rule I heard later on was to not use your thumb on black keys (when playing scales). That constraint can sometimes help with other fingerings falling into place more intuitively.
On what design features came to market when, two examples:

(1) In 1972, I was at Georgetown U., and IBM was proposing that we buy a 370/135 with virtual memory.

(2) In 1973 there was the IBM 360/67 with 31 bit addressing, virtual memory, and virtual machine.The virtual machine software was CP/67 (Control Program 67), and the user interface was from CMS (Conversational Monitor System). I programmed it in PL/I to schedule the fleet at FedEx.
I don't see any issue with 8GB of RAM especially if it's priced accordingly. Not everyone needs 16GB+ of RAM.

My 32GB desktop has rarely used more than 8GB of RAM under any of my workloads.

Hopefully, you'll soon recognize the value (and even beauty) of senescence (Steve Jobs did) and not commit our future generations to a slow painful death.

If not, your kids might also appreciate an opportunity to prove themselves, and just not ride your coattails. Even if not, after you're gone no one will praise them without an asterisk.

But hey, who doesn't still envy the life of a trust fund kid. Smoking weed and buying Supreme® crap your whole life doesn't seem that bad?
I thought the article was quite clear it was about correllations, not causation.
So with regards to the "formula", it's kind of the same idea as "tax tables" the IRS creates. But instead of telling us "how much taxes you owe" these other tables decide "how much MORE energy prices are for the largest companies in the world vs the smallest".

So the government isn't receiving the money before it's "distributed". Instead the "pain threshold" ultimately becomes too great for one company (as they get bigger and bigger) to own everything that they become forced to "distribute responsibility" to other companies that aren't all controlled by the same small group of people.
Reply All is great, though I think it is embroiled in some controversy right now.

> It's worth remembering that Steve Jobs, like many other tech titans, limited their own children's exposure to the tech they built.

You don’t have to be a tech “titan”. When I was on a school board (in Silicon Valley), there was a big push to have kids be trained in “technology”. Inevitably (in that era) that meant things like PowerPoint and Word.

The only people who pushed back? A programmer, a tech startup CEO, and an engineering VP from what is now called FAANG. But we were overridden by the other board members.

I still believe the kids (including my own) learned more by playing outside and writing with pens.
16th c. surely.
He's extracted a pretty good life from wikipedia, but nothing compared to your typical SV start-up founder would demand, so I'm totally OK with this.
This is about concentration, focus, and it is absolutely a skill and not really taught.

Beyond that, introspection is not really taught either. That is, so I have been thinking about this thing a lot, am I being honest with myself about what is grounded in reality and what isn’t? Am I being honest with myself about my overriding preference for my gut feeling vs. what can be verified in the real world with some more effort?
I recommend this read about the origins of the semiconductor industry in Silicon Valley: They Would Be Gods [1].

Making a chip has been something that has been done completely methodically since their invention (I wonder if the less disciplined or less methodical and messy shops simply went out of business).

Add decades of automation and scaling in every part of that process and we get to AMSL machines sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.

Making software can feel so ad-hoc in comparison.

I am also reminded of the Such Great Heights music video by Postal Service filmed in a clean room. [2]

Along other things, there was a heavy investment in marketing the languages that came at the same time as the likes of ocaml [1]. In more recent years, we've also seen that backing by a major company that can help building the ecosystem is a major factor, as happened with Go. Finally, some languages flourished because they offer access to a platform that would otherwise be inaccessible, as JS does.

Overall, though, functional languages see progression today, they may not have an exponential growth, but neither did Python, and look where it is now.

RCA/Sperry Univac had reasonably large scale time sharing systems running basic, FORTRAN, apl, algol and 360-compatible assembly language. They had both physical and logical I/O APIs and supported vm to both disks and drums. Fill in the rest of the old time computer room as you’d like. Did a chess program and various other things in assembly, wrote the required Star Trek game in basic etc. As they provided the source code to the OS, even messed around with changing things like adding 2-step logins and other hacks.

Basically, that decade saw the continuation and growth of the hacker culture that started in the early 60’s on trivially small machines (google spacewar). As there were no small machines, things were more social / collaborative than now out of necessity. And yeah, the hardware is bazillion times faster but the software less so as code bloat is real.
There are, but you need to remove personal cult from the filter. Musk did not design the rockets or come up with the idea of electric car - he cleverly positions himself as the technology guru running whole factories with his own hands but in fact it's a massive effort to hide the names of people who created his products and avoid giving them any credit.
> Interestingly, those people don't seem to do particularly well in the SAT. Perhaps their abilities are "unlocked" to the fullest only after they get into college and get a chance to make independent decisions.

Or maybe the SAT is just a shitty test.
I'm about 95% sure the constant wave of chip shortage news is actually the U.S. semiconductor industry astroturfing to establish a narrative about their critical role in the economy, with the end goal being favorable governemtent regulations or even direct subsidies.

Not that that it isn't true that they are important or anything. But this feels inorganic and the real shortage is just in the limited availability of cutting edge processor nodes. The automakers just kinda misplanned and thats getting spun hard
I've never heard of Carvana, but test drives aren't something we should need dealerships for. Having 1 or 2 cars of each is all you need. Technically a low-end model would be fine, but I can see them only offering the highest end model to upsell features. Then you do what brick-and-mortars have complained about for years and order exactly what you want online.

Personally, I think renting a car for a medium term is way better than test driving. It's the Pepsi Challenge problem. If you can buy a new car, drop down a hundred or two to see how your commute works, how easy it is to park at home, etc.

Sure, dealerships have a rats-nest relationship that would be hard to untangle. Looking at the history I don't think manufacturers care about them them and you can run a repair shop without it.

> service is the key.

I get what you mean about certain aspects, but I would not describe the process of buying a car in that way. If you walk in with cash in hand and pointing to a car it will take 4 hours and you will be coerced into paying for something you didn't want.

“Visual” Voicemail from Ruby
Yes, and the Chinese kit supplier seemingly got the tech from a Japanese aircon maker somewhere in nineties, and then copied the board verbatim ever since.
For me, banning the import of legal goods is something else.

Here in Norway you're allowed to import certain cheeses that are also produced locally, but you'll have to pay a 300% or so duty on them. So it's strongly discouraged but not banned. Similar for other food stuff.

And as I mentioned in another comment, there's quotas given for a lot of these food items, that exempts duty for a certain amount of imported goods. This way the government can give strong protection for the amount produced locally, while meeting consumer demand via imports. I feel this is a good compromise.

Textiles is another example which have a 12% duty, a relatively minor protection. And that's about the extent of our protectionism.
Create a toggle switch in Laravel with Livewire and Tailwind
In this tutorial, we will create an iOS looking like toggle switch button that saves its state in our database using Livewire and Tailwind for styling. We will make our Livewire component reusable so we don’t have to create another component when we want to use the button somewhere else in the application. I’ll show you how to pass ‘data’ dynamically and hydrate your Livewire component ‘on the fly’.
So they were running the fake review operation on Amazon's own infrastructure? There's a certain irony there.
I think your objection to that analogy doesn't affect much the main moral argument against it. Yes, maybe it's less brutal, and you have more freedom, but it is still, IMHO, fundamentally unfair, i.e. that of all the people who collectively built something, some of them get the hereditary right to control the institution (the owners), while some of them do not get the right (the workers).

Who gets the fruits of labor (and how much) is IMHO always a matter of debate in any society. I do not believe there is an objective justification (contrary to some free market advocates). In any case, if you own shares of a company, your labor input can be zero and you still get fruits; I don't know how that is fair (unless this entitlement is divided among all members of the society, like for example all citizens of Norway share the oil profits).

> Genuine question: why don't we see more coops?

IMHO, two reasons. One is lack of legal framework. You have to keep in mind that legal frameworks for modern corporation evolved over at least 300 years, and in the beginning, there wasn't even things like limited liability.

Second, in practice coops face threat of investment strike, because investors simply do not want that system and they are more connected than workers are. Sometimes both of these are a factor, for example many coops faced problems getting bank loans, etc.

It's like asking in 15th century, if democracy is so great, why don't we see more of it? Humans are creatures of habit, and often there are existing power structures that have to be resisted first.

A trend likely to continue in the short term but remember AMD still cannot create enough product to fulfill demand.
The 'weirdo' CDATA thing is the only thing that makes XHTML actually amenable to this approach, because XHTML is tokenizable using a regular expression-based grammar, whereas HTML without CDATA is not. As you're obviosuly aware, the language inside <style> elements is not suitable for XML parsing. Nor is the language inside <script> elements:

<script>
var y = "<!--";
</script>
<p>... a naive tokenizer thinks this is in a comment ...</p>
<script>
var z = "-->"
</script>

There's a weird interaction here between the Javascript and HTML parsers, because <, !, and -- are all valid Javascript operators, and you can, in theory, stack them up into syntactically valid JavaScript expressions. The behavior of the following script in a browser is... unpredictable:

<script>
var a = 1;
if (0<!--a) { document.write('since --a is 0, and !0 is true, and 0 < true (!), this should print'); }
</script>
<p>... and this should not be in a comment</p>
<script>
if (a-->-10) { document.write('a-- should still be > -10, so this should print, too'); }
</script>

The regex in the article will miss the opening <p> tags here, because it assumes that it's being given valid, tokenizable XHTML.
NearbyHQ – help local communities shop online
As a newcomer it’s a fantastic language but the tooling and the ecosystem story is really lacking. I really think the language needs more hype in order to get more people to do things for it. The versioning story of dependencies is almost inexistant, the interaction between the package manager (opam) and buil tool (dune) is filled with issues, there are no conventions in the way you set up a project (you can put your files in any folder), stdlib vs base? Poor documentation, poor compiler errors, poor managements for patches (opam pin) and different versions of the compiler (opam switch creates a local repo in all your projects), etc.

Coincidentally I’ve been writing up an OCamlbyexample page that hopefully I can post here at some point to motivate people to learn the language:)

I don't know where you're getting this impression from, but sales figures do no support your opinion. Sales were down about 15% in 2020, [0] and that was with a normal first quarter and sales inching back up in the 4th quarter. For large parts of 2020 sales were down as much as 40%.

Your experience with Lexus dealerships is not generalizable to the whole industry. The economic fallout of 2020 was not evenly distributed, and the only thing your personal experience tells me is that the audience for luxury cars may have had the better end of things last year.

With a sufficiently strong feedback loop, it very much is.

For example, to the extent our aggregate perspective on the future influences our market decisions now (and by "our" I mean everyone, including the political and industrial leadership), we can pretty much state outright that our outlook on the future will determine the severity of climate challenges ahead. Markets are as good in being affected by hard reality as they're good at amplifying our collective delusions and making the reality conform.

The reason it can't be trusted is methodology used to create articles: weight based statements using reliable sources. The concept does not work with politics. You can't take the top 10 news sites, sum up how often a certain statement is made, and then derive the truth.

When you have two polarizing sides, the extremist that are the most popular view might not even be close to reality or even the majority opinion. With two narratives that define their own "good" side and a "bad" side, the messy truth might not be found in news articles but rather in hindsight a few decades later (or fringe analysts that is struggling to survive).

Political topics do however get fairly good coverage by citing reliable sources of what kind of narratives have been made, and except for correct weighting, might give some clues about the truth.

They probably inverted the neuroticism scale in order to make it consistent with the other four traits, most of which have positive connotations unlike neuroticism. One might argue about the labels, but there's nothing wrong with inverting a scale for convenience of presentation.

The personality traits of famous historical people are well established and widely available online. I have no idea how accurate they are, but they do fulfill their role as easily recognizable stereotypes. In any case the author probably used a publicly available dataset and didn't just make it up.

This is a cool healing mechanism built into the nature of wikipedia; popular, big topics get far more exposure and tend to be more accurate over time. Combined with the visiblity from metadata on edits, the contention and disagreement is far more visible than say, deciding if we should trust the new book on climate change that's on the front page right now.

General rule of thumb is the deeper and more topical you go on wikipedia, the more alert your BS detector needs to be. It's not perfect, but it's once of the best sources we have today.
Yes, and the smart move there is to take the offer and pay it early, which is still stupid on the dealer's part.
Because the voicings change quite a bit with what you're able to reach in different tunings.

I'm not saying alternate tunings are mandatory, just that you can't learn a single tuning with guitar and expect to only ever know just that. It's Very common to change tunings in guitar. Not so in Piano, that i've seen yet at least.

> Piano is also a stringed instrument, with one common tuning that most of us westerners play in.

Are there different tunings for Pianos? I'm not even sure what different tunings would look like, non-sequential pitch ordering? C next to G or something?

The only Piano "tuning" i'm familiar with is temperament, however that's functionally different than what we're talking about with Guitar.
I suspect there's trade-offs that aren't being thoroughly considered in this equation. That's the case in every full-on 'everything we're doing is wrong, and there's a perfect solution' claim.
