Hi HN, I am a lurker for a long time. But now I have a project I want to present on my own. I am the lead developer of the game. It is a tactical deck-building card game with a focus on movement and card and skill combination in a post-apocalyptic fantasy punk setting. We at Lake developed it as a two-week challenge to push our abilities and release something fun to experiment on.

Let us know what you think!
Star Wars would have been a very different story if the Rebels had arrived at the Death Star 10k years after everyone aboard had died.
I'm not sure I like the analogy as a proof this can't be plain text; my professors and I would often use LaTeX snippets when communicating over plain-text mediums like e-mail -- not to later render into something nicer, but left as-is since it fit the problem domain well and allowed us to quickly communicate ideas that needed some degree of precision. Even if you're firmly in the "code can't be plain text" camp I think you'll agree that LaTeX used in that fashion still counts.
Can you recommend a text about this? As a layperson, I'm still having trouble understanding what you mean by that.
For anyone who wants a more evidence-based approach to addiction than 12-step programs, SMART recovery might do the trick for you. It helped me greatly with my alcohol addiction, and it doesn't treat addiction as a forever thing. I've been sober for 6 years or so now, and I haven't needed to attend a meeting since I beat the addiction.

Meetings are free, there are online sessions all the time, and it's just a great community overall.
I might have been living under a rock, but I have never heard of Substack before. What is the difference from Medium, and does it receive less hate as a platform? Seems to have a similar payment model that Medium has gotten a lot of criticism for.
Semi-related: this survey was announced alongside 1Password 8 for Windows early access. Apparently 1Password 8 for Windows uses Electron and there was some discussion about AgileBits wanting to move to the same architecture on all platforms.

Does anyone know if 1Password 8 on macOS will also be an Electron app? Their Linux Electron app is pretty good and definitely much better than having no 1Password at all. However, this would be a sad ending for what started out as a great, efficient, native Mac-only application.

I can understand why AgileBits would make this choice. For most users, Electron is probably not a big issue, if they'd notice at all. But as someone who loves native macOS apps, it just makes me sad.
Swords are terribly effective weapons for infantry with enough protective gear to close in with spearmen, for armies who could not only afford the sword, but also the shield and armor needed for that.

The Romans learned this from the celts early on, and went on to conquer the Mediterranian.

Against the heavy knights of the Medieval period, swords were pretty useless for infantry, though. And at the end of the Middle Ages, when pikes had regained the dominant position for the infantry, armor had become so effective that regular swords would have trouble penetrating. During the 14th anc 15th century, halberds and poleaxes and specialist greatswords would would fill the role that the gladius had 1500 years before, ie that of being able to decisively defeat the pikes after closing in. (Although, until gunpowder weapons took over, pikes were still the most frequent weapon, as the defence against cavalry was still necessary).
Would knowledge in automated theorem proving (e.g. knowing how coq works) be somehow transferable to research in this field?

What are some existing open-source program synthesis libraries/frameworks where we can tinker around and maybe make something with it?

Thanks! I'm super curious about this field and it's somewhat related to what I'm working on so I'm pretty interested to learn more!
I was referring to a "white box" adversarial attack, meaning you can try variations of the input to see how the outcome changes, and then construct an input that will fool the system. That's only possible if you have access to the perceptual hashing model, which you do now since it runs locally.

Of course generating an adversarial image is not the final step, the hacker still need to place it in the victim's account somehow, but it's easier now because the image looks legit.
“attitude” is the technical term in aerospace for the orientation of a vehicle. https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/35933/what-is-t...

The instrument which shows how you are oriented is the attitude indicator: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

The piloting skill of turning an upset airplane to right side up is called “unusual attitude recovery”: https://www.cfinotebook.net/notebook/maneuvers-and-procedure...

It is quite an interesting topic. Whole books were written about it. “Fundamentals of Spacecraft Attitude Determination and Control” is one I can warmly recommend. But if you just want a one sentence summary: “use quaternions” seems to be the prevailing wisdom.

Very well constructed, logical response - whilst still being respectful.

It is this kind of robust but respectful exchange of viewpoints, that keeps me coming back to HN (and unfortunately, spending hours on the site!)
40 minutes? I can go hours. Squeezing your toes every once in a while and/or subtly shifting weight makes really long sittings more bearable. It's not as comfortable as sitting cross legged ("criss cross applesauce", according to some), but it's OK. It's my go-to position for many seated tasks, including typing this comment.

> One difference (in this article at least) is that there are no jokes or unnecessary cultural references.
As someone who started his professional career in the mid 90s, working in what we now call cyber security, and having written both then and after a long gap… now. I was initially baffled and then somewhat put-off by the way style has changed between say 2000 and 2010.
First I put it down to just being older. Then I wondered if authors were encouraged to “put more of you” into writing (which I am not a fan of unless you are explicitly writing autobiographically). Part of “bring your whole self to work”? Then I wondered if it was just an attempt to add colour to what may be a rather dry subject for anyone other than those working in our niche. Finally I thought that perhaps it was something a little more profound. A desire by the author to connect at some deeper level than the dry content, with an audience, a tribe if you will.
I've heard that there have been applications, but the problem seems to be that the people applying lack the understanding of what it's like to live there. Generally you want people to live on the island for a few months to see if they can manage. Things are on hold at the moment due to the borders being closed during the pandemic.
Korean convenience stores were pretty good. I wouldn't say life changing but the snack selection is good.
The test case building at the start of the article had just about as much go wrong with it as anyone should expect.

Designers wanted to show off, sought the maximum possible savings under the most optimistic cases, and just couldn't stick to fundamentals, nor a good study of the conditions at the site.

Something designed with smarts, instead of 'to be smart' in the know it all sense might have met expectations. Though just like machine learning can produce solutions that tear through the test cases it's given, there are probably factors like acoustic isolation that get overlooked by the quest for maximums outside of a wholistic set of goals.
Heloooo bro!
The EPI is a mouthpiece for unions. It's heavily funded by public sector unions. Nothing that comes from them is credible.

The fact is an increasing proportion of top 10% income earners are unionized public sector workers, and the pay gap between public sector and private sector workers has indeed increased. Look at the gap between federal and private workers for example:

> Social mobility stagnated in both countries as the winners from the Thatcher and Reagan revolutions consolidated their gains. But Britain is trying much harder than America to get it going once again. A combination of British angst and American complacency may be the beginning of a great reversal: Britain is becoming more meritocratic, even as America becomes less so.

Doesn't matter. Britain does not have better economic mobility for the middle class. This article offers nothing of substance.

Wages have diverged further from assets (namely real estate) in the UK than in the US.

Tuitions have been going up. The quality of the healthcare system has declined.

In fact it could be argued Britain is less meritocratic, because the system holds back the working class and wage earners far more than the United States. You're taxed at excessive levels, while real estate is extraordinarily expensive.

The economic systems are the same. Just as the rest of the world you're rewarded for the assets you hold. Not the "work" you do.

For many years house prices in London increased faster than the median salary.

You made more holding real estate than working.

The United States need to fix its healthcare system immediately. It's too far drawn out and a major strain the entire economy. Then it needs to invest in infrastructure. Then reorganize its institutions, the judicial system, etc.
If Britain were meritocratic the cabinet wouldn't be made out of people who've failed upwards.

> In Britain, it is politically impossible to be prime minister and send your children to the equivalent of a private high school.

Another similar myth is that the air we breathe comes from trees.

2/3 of the air we breath also comes from plankton.

Trees are mostly net zero in regards to oxygen. What they release during their lifetime they take back when they die and decay.
My Prometheus Is Overwhelmed Help
Slightly off topic, but the biggest eye opener in this article for me was this:

> Three-quarters of the $1.02 million award is for Berry’s attorneys’ fees and legal costs. Rushing also directed Tesla to pay the ex-employee $266,278.50 in damages, including $100,000 to compensate for emotional distress.

People here on HN can be very quick to make the claim "it's illegal to do X" as though that solves the problem.

This appears to be about as clear cut a case as you could imagine (for it to be granted against Tesla in arbitration). Could you imagine spending 4 years and $750,000 for a _chance_ at being told you were right, and rewarded less than you souos have made if you had just continued working for them over that time.

Back on topic, this man was treated horrifyingly, and Tesla's defense of "is absolutely against any form of discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment of any kind" is laughable, it must be such a slap in the face for Mr. Berry to be told that by an army of lawyers after going through what he did.
How would that even work? Only Fans has no idea how much time these people are spending doing 'marketing' (spamming reddit)
> I can't believe I've been subjected to the level of abuse I'm getting from people who are on average making less than $145 a month.

Can you unpack this sentence and explain what it is about "people who are on average making less than $145 a month" that makes the abuse you are getting from them specifically unbelievable?

(edit: Wow, -3 after only 20 minutes?... I guess people on HN apparently really hate the idea that people who happen to be poorer than us deserve respect. I think that's the fastest downvoting I have gotten, even contrasted with when I say negative things about Apple, Signal, or Rust. I highly recommend thinking hard about what it means to believe that it is ever appropriate to speak with as much disdain about people who are struggling as Quequao just did... it was frankly downright shameful.)
Just the other week I read in a medical textbook:

If you are overweight (obese) at age 18, there is only a 15%(!) chance that you will manage to have a more healthy weight during your adult life. I found that number utterly depressing and shockingly low.
top notch dinner lol. you can eat lunch very well in Japan for usually cheaper than in convenience stores. its not like there is a lack of options indeed.
Late correction - book was We Are Bellingcat
I love going to konbini whenever I'm in Japan but do yourself a favour and don't go to one for every meal. If you want a bento or some small dishes, there are lots of good and affordable ones at the grocery stores and department stores. They even discount them by quite a lot near closing time. Check the basement or top floors of the major train stations as well.

There's lots of good restaurants as well all over the place and even at the top floor of many Yodabashi (a giant electronics chain). Don't be afraid of places that don't have any English signage, you can usually request an English menu or see if they can just recommend you a good dish if you're adventurous.

If you're hopping onboard the Shinkansen (bullet train), grab yourself an ekiben at the station before you go, lots of delicious regional dishes to try out!
speaking as an undergrad, also mid 20s: you're all good, man. there will always be companies hiring you as long as you're someone who can write code that moves them towards their business goals.

highly enterprise corporate companies? maybe not, hr's require bachelors degrees as it makes rational sense to do so in order for them to secure their jobs.

smaller companies who work in smaller teams? better chances there. you want people who can see you as you are based on your proven track record and expertise. coding is not like being a doctor / pursuing law where there is a really high bar for entry.

and there are other avenues too. your network is one. widen it, and you may get referrals. working on side projects, side gigs, and other sources of cash flows might work too.

there are other skills you can work on too aside from your technical skills. e.g. your soft skills such as your communication skills, your sales skills (life is sales, after all), your negotiation skills, etc etc.
wait it is night and spacex workers are still on it ?

This is ridiculous. The CRA overreach starting from the 60s is reaching reduction-ad-absurdum levels now.

Do progressives realize this stuff makes things worse for all parties involved?

Why would anyone hire women or URMs in 2021, unless forced to by the state at gunpoint?

Race/gender relations are worse than they were in the 50s-60s. I wonder how the activists would’ve felt to see their hard-fought gains squandered by immature cynics 60 years later. Utterly tragic.

EDIT:

1. CRA-woke connection:
https://richardhanania.substack.com/p/woke-institutions-is-j...

The author is sharp policy wonk, he traces the evolution of the abuse of CRA from the 60s onwards, explosion of HR bureaucracies, and the wide ranging consequences in academia and industry.

2. Even if the allegations are 100% true, the financial aspects are disgusting. This doesn’t merit $1M, and the lawyer pocketing most of it makes it worse.

This little case is being covered on national media. Now Tesla can handle the PR, but what if this happened at a startup? There is no sense of proportionality to the woke justice system.

3. About hiring URMs/women: it’s obvious that such a hire is a ticking time bomb. The media is shameless in exaggerating even the tiniest issues. Both the laws and the cultural norms are massively in favor or minorities/women.

On top of this one has to work extra hard to find qualified candidates due to downstream issues.

At some point it’s natural to ask: why?
And the only answer is: the state is forcing you to.
The disease model of addiction is still hotly debated in the USA. It has been widely discredited and thrown out in other western nations. What's the difference in these nations? These other nations have some form of socialized medicine so you don't have to have a medical illness to have your treatment costs covered. On the contrary, the only way to get treatment costs paid for addictive behaviours in the USA, by a medical insurance company, is if you have a disease. Try asking your medical insurance to pay to stop you making bad choices or changing your habits. The work of Stanton Peele is seminal in this field for anyone interested. Also check out The Freedom Model. Completely heretical to AA types but to rational thinkers struggling with an addictive behaviour, it could be life changing.
> You're taxed at excessive levels

I agree with much of the rest of your post, but the UK doesn’t have particularly high taxes. If you compare take home pay in typical scenarios, the differences between the US and UK are not huge.
Ha, maybe getting dodgy people selling you meat in a pub is a unique UK experience then!

Of course there are differences between all of these analogies, because there isn't anything exactly like the drugs trade and everything will have a difference, I just mean that in every example I can think of where I could buy the same product from illegitimate and legitimate sources, the illegitimate source is cheaper (so I don't know why we would assume it would be any different here).

> In that case, the cigs are cheaper because the tax is not being paid.

Well that's interesting, as Weed sales have between 27% - 38% tax in California and OP said that there was a 34% price increase compared to illegitimate sources, so actually the tax rate is approximately equal to the difference in cost here.

No. It was arbitration, not a case first off. Secondly berry's allegations may be backed up by actual proof, which is not discussed in this article. Thirdly, almost all cases (short of DNA proof) are they-said, and it's up to an independent third party to find out where the truth lies.
From ‘Loki’ to ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ Fans Are Calling the Shots
Of course. But it is a significant data point in describing the culture divide between the UK and the US.

The whole topic deserves an entire book. Even then, the answer "who is the most meritocratic" won't receive a straight answer. The point that British culture does not allow the prime minister to send their children to fancy schools is a meaningful one to make, among many others.

It puts the UK closer to the Scandinavian/Northern European countries and the USA closer to less-than-democratic countries (MENA, Africa, Russia, China) on this particular axis.
Honestly I think the sanest model is one of progressively building a surplus atmosphere for reserves and to fill new modules. Ship food up, astronauts convert it to carbon dioxide and urea, and whatever of the latter you can’t convert back to proteins ends up as free nitrogen, which you can use to build air.
You are correct, I'm from the UK!
I'd want to bet against because I don't believe it's gonna happen so I think I can win some money. On the other hand, if it's really going to happen, I'd be thrilled and more than happy to lose that money. So betting against it is win-win for me :)
Like any other employment. Can you be more precise?
I suppose that statement is true in both directions.

Directness and honesty are often missing, and I agree that this can be insulting and perceived as arseholery. Equally, people who are being arseholes at work also confuse their arseholery for directness and honesty.
