How is the price inflation natural? The supply-demand relationship is unnaturally muddled with when someone restricts supply by purchasing all the tickets at once, especially with automated tools average consumers don't have/use. They then just resell the tickets - not at some supply-demand balanced value, but at their determined value, often 200%+ the original price.

Supply is already fixed on things like tickets anyway, due to venue sizes, so this is just further restriction. It's not natural.
Yes. But then again they didn’t start out as endemic virus but as a pandemic one. They probably wrecked a lot of havoc before becoming just a cold. Mayas and Aztecs can tell.

TLDR: Studies show that political ads supporting or opoosing a candidate in the upcoming election don't change minds in any significant way (though they may help with turnout), but ads that are longer-term oriented and attempt to make the viewer identify with the party's values and feel happy, similar to corporate branding, can gradually win over undecideds.

>Automation is not a "threat". It's happening, but it needs a push. And unions are here to provide that push.

Again, you are positioning automation as a threat, and portraying unions as a bad thing, which will push people out of jobs, they will then become homeless, starve and die. That's the best society can offer?

>You think that millions of unemployable workers is somehow less "dehumanizing" than having a job that matches their skillset. Bizarre.

You've already dehumanized these workers and written them off as having no other skillset potential. You cannot think of an economy that could work without suppressing automation and grinding people's lives away with manual labor?

>Regarding the Star Wars categories of what's a force for evil and what's a force for good, I'll stay out of that, because those are stories for children.

No, you've made your feelings clear that "unions are a force for evil" and threats of automation are needed to nip that in the bud. We should incentivize automation, and look into ways to invest in improving the human experience, instead of writing people off as being incapable of achieving greater things.

>Economics is about incentives and alignment of interests.

This is so basic, it has practically no application in reality. You need to define what is being incentivized and who's interests are being catered to in the actual economy. Right now dehumanizing behavior and externalizing costs onto society is heavily incentivized, and I would strongly dispute there is an alignment of interests occurring.

It's nothing to write home about as it was mostly just an experiment to learn some OpenGL, evaluate my ability to ship something GPU-accelerated for the big three desktop OSes built entirely from GNU/Linux, better understand the shortcomings of myself and my lone collaborator when it comes to creating games, all while gaining visibility into the Steam platform and how much exposure one could expect from simply shipping a title on their store without any advertising.

So it's not exactly a fun or good game... as that didn't even make it into the list of priorities. I just kept the scope very small to ensure it could be shipped as a side project with some semblance of polish.

I don't think anything I have to contribute on the subject of processes or approaches should be considered particularly valuable since it's not really a successful game by any relevant measure.

It also feels like desktop operating systems are becoming so hostile towards running arbitrary native programs that unless you're shipping some AAA title pushing all the hardware limits of performance, it might not make sense to bother shipping native executables anymore. For individual indie devs producing small titles, the web might make much more sense, webgl/wasm/webgpu avoids all this untrusted executable friction and modern computers are fast enough to make it work. It's unclear to me how this dovetails with distribution/discovery and earning money via established platforms like Steam though, there's some dust that needs to settle here from what I can see.
I think this is vastly dependent on the state and the "downtown." Where I live, Boston, it's mostly the upper classes that live in and around the city. All the poor people have been nearly priced out to the suburbs or even other states (New Hampshire or Rhode Island).

Of course there are wealthy cities and suburbs, but if you want a walkable commute within reason, <15 minutes, you pay a premium.

"What is "the Colonial umbrella":

"Canada's standards of living are attributable to a number of factors, including an immense land area with plentiful natural resources, a highly industrialized economy, a robust system of law and government, etc." <--- Yes. The imposition and expansion of this into North America is Colonialism.

The expansion of education, language, justice, culture, industry, the economy, the political system, religion, and Enlightenment ideals - that is 'Colonialism'.

i.e. civilization (as we understand it).

The alternative, which was present before, is neolithic culture, which is how they would be living 'without colonialism'.

If there is a 'paternalistic' view it's that Aboriginals somehow don't want at least the advantages of 'civilization' which they benefit from tremendously.

Do you really think that Aboriginals would be happy and fruitful without hot water? Foraging for meals, living in tents and stick homes? No medicine, education, no effective social organization even at the tribal level?

Aboriginals want warm homes, cars and Televisions just as much as anyone else - and the material benefits require all the supporting systems of 'Colonialism'.

The 'situation' among Aboriginal communities is far better than it would be otherwise, they live at roughly the standards of the bottom 1/3 of Canadians. They have access to education, healthcare, homes, travel i.e. modernity in general - a relatively fair justice system - untold benefits - mostly provided to them for free (!!).

Their 'problems' are almost entirely local: drugs, alcohol, violence among themselves, and an unwillingness to participate in many of the things they'll need to do (i.e. jobs) if they want the material benefits of the system.

The current 'disequilibrium' is that they want access to modernity and all that comes along with it - without active participation in creating it.

> Everyone had a whole year "pause" to reevaluate if their lives were organized around their goals, and for millions, the answer was no.

It's important to remember that everyone also had a one year traumatic experience. Physically confined for a year with the threat or reality of unpredictable agonizing death to you or loved ones in the middle of an absolutely insane US political situation is going to take a toll on people.

There's this media narrative that the past year gave everyone this beautiful moment of clarity about how to live their lives. There is some truth to that. But it's also true that it's given people a whole shit load of psychological damage to work through and I wouldn't be certain that all of these people making radical life changes are 100% in their right minds.

I think we're going to see a lot of lifestyle churn over the next few years as people deal with what they went through but any one who claims that the current rapid velocity of any particular pendulum is somehow a straight linear projection is lying to themselves. I look forward to articles a year from now about this "unexpected movement" of people going back to in-office jobs, or working longer hours at shit jobs because they burned through all of their savings, or just wanting more financial stability.

I don't think we can make many reliable extrapolations today based on the aggregate behavior of a huge number of psychologically traumatized people, while the trauma is still not even over. Articles like this read to me like someone during the Blitz seeing victory gardens and confidently predicting that after WII every Londoner is going to become a farmer.

I'm not saying that things will return to any pre-COVID state, just that after the shock we've been through, the entire interconnected spring-mass system of our lives has in no way settled down into a stable state yet. Shit is still chaotic.
Right. And there are many who would have kept showing up, but policies mandated they could not.
There are no licensed aftermarket parts makers for Tesla and you cannot buy parts from Tesla without being Tesla certified.

This is unusual and unique for auto manufacturers. And its the only thing like it other than other industries such as agriculture (e.g. John Deer). Normal federal laws require auto makers to produce or stock parts for a time period after manufacturer date. This is usually the reason you have licensed aftermarket parts from other makes. Its also the reason GM forced everybody to return all those EV1s since they didn't want to take the loss making those parts after the trial run. Federal law also requires standard interfaces for diagnostics and information such as OBD2. So both state or federal inspection can happen as well as automotive techs can keep the economy going when your vehicle breaks down far from a licensed dealer. The US isn't being weird here, almost every country has the same sorts of rules on the books.

Tesla has these "strange" and extremely unique exemptions from both. Not entirely sure how you get those since its extremely lucrative to have. GM would have probably let people keep their EV1s if they had them. You'd certainly see regular makes come to production with more popular concept cars and keep them true to the concept if they had them. Basically, every other make would love to do the same thing Tesla is doing right now. But for them, they have no choice but to play the uneven playing field if they want to enter the American market. So they have to remain more cautious and careful about what they do release into the wild.

You can "mod" anything but that is not buying new suspension components or even a windshields. And hacking it is no different than what farmers keep trying to do with their John Deer equipment. That is also why right-to-repair is such a big issue. What I can't understand is why nobody ever talks about Tesla there. They're probably the biggest offender.
> Companies being responsible for emissions is just a fiction of accounting.

Uh, you think Bob leaving the lights on in his house compares to operating a factory in terms of carbon emissions? I haven't seen the data and you aren't presenting any but my default assumption would definitely be that industry manufacturing and farming things at huge scale and pumping exhaust into the air by the ton is a way bigger factor than whether Bob drives a hybrid.

The last two places I lived, it was.

In the more recent one, residential customers who didn't opt in to the smart thermostat, which allows the power company to override your temperature settings in an emergency, could be automatically cut off from the grid in a crisis.

In the older one, a factory I worked for was part of a program where they volunteered to be cut off from the grid remotely in the event of a power emergency. The factory got some kind of discount or rebate for being part of the program.
> In order to raise a family in an expensive coastal city like San Francisco or New York, you’ve now got to make $350,000 or more a year.

So, not just "a big city". Not Chicago, not Atlanta, not Houston, not Denver. Just the super-high-cost-of-living cities. Um, yeah, high cost of living cities have high costs of living. But it's not "a big city", it's specific big cities.

In fact, it's not even big cities. It probably takes a lot of money to live a middle-class lifestyle in Aspen, too.

So, yeah, like PragmaticPulp said, it's clickbait.

:cl-bodge itself is still an experimental tech that has barely any documentation - I won't recommend using it directly, unless you are happy tinkerer that ain't afraid of guts from hell.

:trivial-gamekit though is a stable framework that have much better documentation and strives to be as simple as possible. Nothing experimental about it. It's dangerous to go alone into jams with CL-based games, take gamekit with you. The fact that it is based on :cl-bodge at the moment is an implementation detail.

:alien-works is an attempt to reuse everything C/C++ gamedev world has and drive it from CL without too much blood bolting from eyes. It's not very experimental - just some conventional stuff piled together, but still is in early stages of development (although it has passed proof-of-concept phase).

First, a caveat. I don't know the people behind the comments in this sub-thread. I have read almost all of them and find them to be informative and thoughtful. So thanks for that.

That said, when I read a comment like the above, what I hear is a mentality of "you are an individual, with power, if you don't like it, act individually". That mentality is not wrong, but is quite limited and incomplete. It overlooks the power and importance of individuals discussing and organizing together, which is often much more powerful than simply "voting with your feet".

> Ruby made a similar change in character encoding starting at roughly the same time; it's (barely) remembered now as a non-event because they didn't take the "opportunity" to bundle in a bunch of other breaking changes which collectively required much more pervasive dinks to pre-existing code than the encoding issues.

No, its often misremembered that way; Ruby 1.9 had lots of backward-compatibility breaking changes, there was a long time when lots of things were stuck on 1.8, and much of the other stuff that happened with the Py2 -> Py3 conversion was mirrored. The big difference was that the Ruby community and ecosystem were smaller and less diverse.

How to outsource marketing for your side project
Outsourcing development is still a common topic. But how about outsourcing marketing?

I'm faced with the (I'd guess also rather common issue) that I'm sitting on a - what I believe to be - cool side project that should be capable of generating some recurring income. Not a lot, but some. I am absolutely not the kinda person enjoying the marketing side of things though and I lack people in my circle of friends for this too.

Does anyone have experience with outsourcing this somehow? I'm thinking someone who'd do social media and promotion and we'd collaborate on a revenue share model of sorts.

Is that a thing people do?
