After about 10 hours in this, I dropped it. The visuals were good, the story was mediocre, and the combat was OK at first, but the addition of the "collect enemies and fight them all at once" mechanic didn't click with me.

I will definitely agree that there are a lot of nostalgia trips for folks familiar with playing the oldest Final Fantasy games, and they were well done and I welcomed them as a fan.

That said, the worst part for me is that playing a standard JRPG on a phone is physically uncomfortable, and a fantastic source of eye strain. Maybe I'm being a luddite (or just old) with my preference for screens that fill a significant visual arc, but a phone screen - even the one on my 11 Max - is too small for these kinds of games.

At least this game (unlike so many others) offers controller mapping, so that part isn't too bad.
This may be the first time I've ever seen code generation listed as a feature. Code generation may be the single biggest contributor to long-term maintainability problems I've ever seen, from `rails new` to create-react-app, over time it'll kill your momentum.

When you are in apple ecosystem, unlock phone with watch, unlock Mac with watch, accept Okta verify (2FA) on watch without an unlock, etc are life changing things for me.

What sucks is that I can’t gift it an Android/PC person without replacing thousands worth of everything else.
Most devices do not have an physical 3.5 plug anymore. Adapt or stay in an older (possibly more insecure) device ecosystem.

It's most likely upvoted because:

- This place is predominately full of Americans which have little knowledge or access to european EVs (like the ones from VAG group).

- Tesla is a darling of certain fan techy population and gets a lot of hype and cheerleading from those people - which are also a large chunk of HN population.
Expect it does require libpython and at least on Ubuntu 20.04 it links against the dev version of the library. So not only can you not run the resulting binary on any random Ubuntu 20.04 you also need to install same version of the python and the "-dev" version.

I did try this. With the "stock" python3 (3.8.something) I couldn't get nuitka to compile my code (or the example from the docs). With python3.9 I could start the compilation, but I didn't have libpython-dev shared object and finally with python3.9-dev I was able to make the binary. However after transfering it to another Ubuntu 20.04 machine I couldn't run it since it was linked against libpython3.9-dev.

Just as side note. The same python code (i.e. the .py file) would run on both machines out of the box.
In America, it's been a persistent psyop campaign under the guise of fighting terrorism for the last 20 years. Trading freedom for security. People are more and more conditioned that control and authority in their lives is there to keep them safe. Whether or not they consciously believe it, subconsciously these ideas still permeate our everyday lives and now we just sort of accept it. Governments and powerful people have, and always will, push these boundaries, since it's essentially the quest for power (control). I don't know what the solution is, because more or less I feel everyone is so divided (and in that sense, conquered). There's an undercurrent of distrust (albeit mostly aimed in the wrong directions) but it hasn't really boiled over enough yet. More and more I think this is just an inevitable outcome to where we are as a society. I'm not trying to doom and gloom but it feels like the writing is on the wall. These things have happened before. Seems to be human nature in that we tend to repeat the same mistakes and it looks like we're currently doing that now.

I think the trolls, shills and agitators are a symptom of dysfunction rather than the cause. And I think the idea that more authoritarian states are stronger/more stable/better because they don't suffer this is deeply misguided.

In the United States, our political class is deeply and fundamentally unserious. Our legislators seem uninterest in legislating and in general seem to believe that their main job is re-election, and not the work they were elected to do.
No they need to pay taxes when importing so it doesn't quite work that way.
> tweaking the code when a bug appears and hope that was the last one

Tesla should also be prohibited from pushing updates. When the software is updated, the code should be tested for at least X thousand miles and X months before a new version may be pushed. Letting an authority do the pushing avoids the temptation of manufacturers to push updates prematurely. It also solves the problem of unexpected changes for the user at random times.

If safety issues are detected, the automobile (or at least the autopilot) should be disabled until the code has been fixed and fully tested.

> The media multiplier effect can, at times, create disinformation storms with potentially dangerous effects for those Russia perceives as adversaries at the international, national, and local level. In the past, Russia has leveraged this dynamic to shield itself from criticism for its involvement in malign activity. This approach also allows Russia to be opportunistic, such as with COVID-19, where it has used the global pandemic as a hook to push longstanding disinformation and propaganda narratives.
I’m not sure how productive it is to argue with fake numbers but the base revenue off an appliance service call is maybe $125-250 (based on commercial utility service experience). That’s the revenue, so I’m not sure what the profit would be to McDs corporate but maybe $10-25.

Given that a location can sell hundreds or thousands of ice creams in a day. I would expect the margin to be higher on their supply cut than the service call cut so it seems more profitable to sell ice cream than even if there was a service visit every single day.

I’m surprised at the “can’t do arithmetic” takes on HN with things as simple as this. Like somehow there’s a conspiracy to rent seek a less profitable product (ice cream machine service) over McDonald’s main purpose (sell fast food).

It’s funny to imagine people thinking that there’s some conspiracy my mcd’s to make less money. But I think it’s just a misunderstanding of how franchising works.

Isn't this just the ol' "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" problem? Hundreds of years of ago we couldn't see germs with a microscope doesn't mean they weren't effective in our lives.
I remember hearing that a large part of this is that Qualcomm doesn't provide security updates for more than this long so they can't really promise anything more since they may be unable to fix CPU-level flaws.

That being said it would be nice if they could provide support until a CPU-level vulnerability is found. (Or is there a decent chance that they wouldn't be informed?)

On the upside I believe that the Pixel 5 has a Google-"made" SoC so that excuse is gone now. I would love to see a nice long promise of updates. The amount of eWaste generated by a phone every 2 years is awful.

That's on the individual level and that's okay -that's our right as individuals. Institutionally it should be different. Otherwise we'll have to ban those actors who might be sympathetic to the communists.

As an aside, most "creatives" have deep problems that would make them horrible people to participate in life with.

Sure, I might completely disagree with Sean Connery's attitude toward women, for example, but that will not diminish my joy watching his movies. You have to separate the character from the actor and the art from the artist.
Yeah they want a low unit cost on the camera system, so they are trying to machine learn their way out of the problem. It's not going to work.

A self driving system needs to have a 3d understanding of it's environment. It's not acceptable to crash into paintings by Wile E. Coyote.
Yea it was really awful, got a few lectures on it during my psychology bachelor. I was horrified when I heard what they did. The people who've enacted these policies should be behind bars IMO. You can't displace children from their families because of "cultural integration" reasons.
The horrible truth is that if autonomous driving can save 1+ life, it's better than what we have now so we should keep it and accept that crashes will occur much like they do now with humans in sole control.

There's no reason to kill autonomous driving just because gen 1 - 50 isn't perfect but is an improvement on current driving methodology.

Giving a one-line sentence of what happened disregards other variables such as, lighting conditions, where the stationary object was (Over a hill, round a sharp bend, etc.), how much stopping distance was there. A lot of Tesla hate is purposefully done from EV haters & Musk haters. No one can argue that there isn't an establishment who wants to tear down and prevent Tesla & Musk from succeeding. Teslas will catch on fire (like other cars do), Teslas will crash (like other cars do), Auto-pilot will fail (while also being overall an improvement on driving safety).

We can't assume the stationary object was 300 feet away on a straightaway in a perfect visibility conditions, we have to judge whether a human would've performed worse and whether the same cases are occurring over and over. 12 crashes over a few months is a pretty tiny fraction when there are probably more than 12 humans crashing into stationary objects every hour.
It can be difficult to export energy, but a way to do it indirectly is to attract lots of energy intensive industry and then export those products.

The classic example is aluminum smelting. Norway has comparable aluminum smelting capacity as much larger countries such as Australia or Brazil.

I totally get what Matz said about threads, and it's also no mystery to me that there are so many GIL's around.

Adding threads complicates the interpreter, to the point where I'm beginning to doubt it's worth the effort.

For my own interpreters I've had success running separate interpreter instances in their own threads and communicating via channels. This allows multi-threading without making a mess.

The drink coaster distributor was popular without a doubt. They never factored into my use of the Internet. Without fact-check, there's a mild equivalence at best. It is hard not to encounter platforms and their agendas in some form today.

The free hosting providers were not engaging in political censorship. Google had a maxim, "Don't be evil". They didn't have infoboxes explaining, "Experts agree that enhanced interrogation is not torture".
Yes. I assume Plaid will result in all my money getting stolen, with me having no recourse (the terms of service deny any recourse if you share your username/password and someone initiates a transfer using that) and/or my bank accounts being forcibly closed due to violating the ToS (via sharing username/password). So I don't use Plaid, or services which require it.
cOAlition S Statement on Open Access for Academic Books
Supposing you need to do this kind of stuff a lot, one fairly nice workaround is to subclass the base class and then use that subclass when you need added mutative and/or chain able functionality.

The drawback in this case is it's not as concise as just typing in a String literal :)
> Ruby is an absolute joy to program in.

Really? At my company it seems like 90% of the tests are catching things that would be caught automatically if we had used a proper language with strong types/compiler.

IMO Ruby is slow, not particularly beautiful (yes, this is subjective), and seems optimized for shoving crappy REST endpoints out the door as quickly as possible.
Ruby used to be considered a more beautiful Perl. With Perl it shares powerful meta programming facilities, good package management and a high degree of flexibility when it comes to implement something. Ruby added a MOP and prettier syntax. Many early Ruby devs migrated from Perl. Pythonistas always were a community of its own and tended to frown upon any other language users.
Still need some infrastructure, think good data, transportation (for the infrequent commute), and social environment. Some places are sorely lacking in some of those.

The university rankings one sees are massively, massively skewed by the US & the UK, because they have always written in English, and set up most of the popular (i.e. English speaking) journals.

I dug into these rankings years ago, and found them very, very unconvincing.

The OECD rankings (where Finland does really well) tend to be much more robust.
It's a bit amusing to see sales numbers in a small country. A bit over 1000 Tesla Model Y's were sold, and it's big news.

Tesla is selling maybe 14-15,000 Model Y per month in the U.S., which puts it roughly in the 20 to 25th most sold model. It's comparable to the ICE-only Mazda CX-5.

https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2021-us-vehicle-sales-figures-...

(A lot of models do not yet have July/August numbers.)

Of course, in the U.S., the top 3 selling models in June were Silverado, Ram and F-Series, adding up to about 155,000 vehicles that month.
If you think that 99.5% of programming consists of gluing together calls to library functions, you're also not making a statement about programming, but about the kind of programming you've done.

There's this really pervasive notion from people on the left that those who vote conservative/republican must have an irrational reason for doing so. My guess is, they have internalized the notion that their worldview is so just and logically sound that the only rationale for someone to oppose it is because they are mislead by Fox News, Russian disinfo, conspiracy nuts, emotions, or just plain spite (owning the libs).
I agree it's not cryptographically bullet proof, but that didn't stop everyone from handing over their passwords to the private companies running password managers. Some people even hand over 2FA to them. Yet others have a file in their vault with their driver license or passport number.

> this is like there being a rape in town and the police asking all males, no exceptions, to submit a sample of their DNA to clear them

This is not how discovery works. The closest analogy would be a rape occurring and the police announcing an investigation, requesting anyone with information to come forward and warning anyone against deleting incriminating evidence.

The analogy is messy because you're comparing a Congressional inquiry with a criminal investigation.
If that is possible, yes. I'm not convinced it is possible to create an autonomous vehicle that only panics in situations where there is a safe pull-over, or, if such a vehicle exists, that it'll be considered "autonomous" when it can't go past 25 or 35 mph or something. There's plenty of driving situations that may be confusing where pulling over and stopping isn't possible.

(And, to be clear, I'm not asking for perfect safety, I'm asking for "human or better", and also understand that there may be some interesting fuzziness near the border where the two have different strengths and weakenesses but come out statistically the same. However, I don't feel like we're there yet.)
Possibly, I'm mostly familiar with Airbus. I thought the newer 787s were more FBW-ish.

> I initially didn’t know about the web interface, it has feature parity with the app.

The native Libby apps have downloads/offline access and you can dismiss all the ux/window chrome while reading. The web interface doesn’t offer those features.

The web interface is a nice-to-have backup but Libby has discontinued development on their Windows app and keeps redirecting to the web interface which isn’t a suitable full substitute. There are great Windows tablet hardware that paired well with Libby and no other platform quite matches it for comics
Huh? It’s typically the educated elite calling for authoritarian policies. Just like most (not all) authoritarian systems. They are run by the elite educated in the prestigious universities of Europe and America.

If you're going to blame Norway for the negative externalities of drilling for oil, are you willing to give credit for the positive externalities, like powering firetrucks and ambulances?

Granted, I'm sure there are probably better uses of Norway's oil money, since EV subsidies only benefit those who can afford to buy a new $50,000 car. They could be doing a lot worse with their wealth though, like building artificial islands.

Hydro is the best option next to nuclear (more dangerous as accidents can and do kill thousands but potentially cheaper), but the number of feasible sites is rather limited - mountains with river canyons that are not used otherwise and can be dammed are probably all dammed already and have been for half a century...
Compuserve and a number of other credible alternatives to AOL existed during that time. Usenet and BBSes also existed. Myspace and Facebook (initially) were only for teenagers, college students, and people who never grew out of those phases. You might as well put Livejournal in this list, because none of those platforms (at those times) were as effective at corralling and suppressing wrongthink as Twitter and Facebook have been today.

Your next sentence is as baseless and incorrect as the one I quoted.

I’ve been hearing this chicken little shit for 30 years and every year piracy is so bad that the end is near.

I think it’s more likely that piracy drives and improved digital sales. That’s just my hunch, but it’s based on my experience of everything going digital, companies making more money on it than ever, and piracy greater than ever.

Philosophically, I think piracy is a more future oriented and likely successful than the alternative. I fear for a future when we are digital beings having to subscribe to Apple Music in order to remember a song and play it in my “mind.” Piracy today is peace of mind tomorrow.
I had the same experience. I spent a bit more than 1 year in Sweden and pretty much spoke English the whole time.

I did learn a bit of Swedish via reading, watching TV, etc, but it was near to impossible to actually practice my Swedish with people. I would say something with an obvious foreign accent, and they would just switch to English immediately. In any setting, at the grocery store, in a bar, at work, at the freaking McDonald's.

In a way, they don't really have many other options, it's not like the Swedish language has any sort of "soft power" in the world. But still, it would have been nice to be able to practice a bit more :)
