Cheating is a massive problem in multiplayer and most developers/publishers dont care much about it. Battlefield for example relies heavily on a community project to ban cheaters from private servers ( https://bfban.com ) but official DICE servers are often run over by cheaters.

Unilever, lol, fucking Unilever is earning a Seal for their "commitment".

This feels almost purely a greenwashing-PR-thing than any kind of proper achievement mark.

Anyone can have noble commitments, when those commitments come to fruition then they should be lauded. Right now it just leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth, it's bullshit stamped by a Prince, that's all.
The late 1990s and early 2000s was a silly time because of the portals. I worked for a search engine company that delivered search to a well-known portal and I can remember how much we despised what they did with our technology.

Google was able to break out because they managed to retain great talent and was able to stay funded for a few critical years until their bets paid off. And they did so rather quickly.

I can't help but feel that we're back to a variant of the portal mindset. Only now it is more about B2B and spying on users. And it doesn't feel like Google does anything out of passion anymore. There's really no race to perfect technology - just to be good enough to stay ahead of competition.

The Google of old might have invested in image search to fulfil its potential. The Google of today probably sees it as waste of effort.

I've only used discord as part of a MOOC, and it seems absolutely useless for such a thing.

Since discussions aren't threaded, you can't really keep track of what people are talking about.

I joined slack at work basically the week after they added threaded discussion, and I was very surprised to learn it was a new thing. The whole premise of "slack instead of emails" seems ludicrous without threaded discussions. Like, how did anyone get that idea initially?
A neutral question would have presented the 3 options: DST as done currently, permanent summer time or permanent winter time.

Asking only about ending time changes is equally problematic. Some people would rather stay with the DST system than use winter time all year long for example.

Ask HN: What GCP Pricing Strategies do you use?
I worked out our GCP costs and then CUDs and emailed GCP Support for confirmation. They got back to me and confirmed that the calculations were correct.

With Resource based CUD's the resources that have the discount applied are fixed - ie if you use more resources any overage is at On Demand prices.

So I looked into Spending Based CUDs which is limited to a certain number of resources.

Has anyone used Spending based CUDs and are the discounts less than if you used Resource based CUDs?

What I would like is to get the maximum discount and the maximum flexibility in resource allocation.
I'm not as cynical. The "pulling rank" types definitely exist but I've worked with a lot of PMs who overshare either because they're aware the engineering team doesn't see all their work and want to "prove their value" and/or they're are genuinely excited about their work and keen to share with the engineering team. Those types always react well to gentle reminders to keep it brief.

> The SCCS paper (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6312866 ) says the adoption rate at Bell Labs was high.

So, SCCS runs under Unix. The software package we are talking about here is Ericsson JZA715, written mostly in Pascal with a bit of PDP-11 assembler, running under RSX-11M, it was first put into operation in Oslo in 1979. I don't know what development platform Ericsson was using, but I doubt it was Unix, seems far more likely to have been RSX-11. What version control systems would Ericsson have been using on RSX-11 in the 1970s? I doubt it was SCCS – could it have been something else? Anything? RSX-11 has a versioned file system, could they have just used that? Or did people build more advanced version control systems layered on top of that base?

Every financial debt has a corresponding financial asset. Why follow the 'debt' and not the 'asset'? Because you have a psychological anchor on the word 'debt' that causes an emotional reaction?

All money is somebody's debt. That's how the accounting works. Rather than looking at the books from the 'credit' side, why not look at it from the 'in credit' side?

What I find amusing is how the bank borrowing from you so you are 'in credit' with the bank is a good thing, but the government borrowing from you so you are 'in credit' with government is a bad thing.

Given those are identical propositions in accounting terms, rationally the view about them should be the same.

> During the bad times, all that mattered is where more profit could be found.

The people in China need to eat too; the pork is going to be eaten. It is hard to understate how hard the Chinese have been working to provide goods, services and technologies to the rest of the world for the last 40-odd years. They've been quite clear the whole way through that one of the things they want in exchange for that is support feeding themselves.

Them buying American pork in a tough year is not some capitalist failure. This is what hard work and savings is supposed to get China - front of the line in a crisis. It would be grossly unfair to pay them then tell them that they've actually got monopoly money that can't even buy pork.
It seems like you are forgetting the creeping corruption that has been occurring at least since Nixon. That alone explains why nothing is moving forward.

From my experience, only HP has half-decent linux drivers (works out-of-the-box with gutenprint). Most other manufacturers require proprietary drivers (that often only come for one CPU arch), or hours of fiddling with reverse-engineered drivers.

I tried doing the same with a brother MFC printer, but I always had issues with the drivers.

> What this doesn’t really address is the why?

Consumers base purchasing decisions on their monthly outlays. When interest rates go down, they can afford more in payments, so they increase their consumption until their expenses match what they can afford. A good example here is housing.

The US and many EU states provided an under-appreciated amount of stimulus during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Even when this wasn't given directly to citizens, as it was in the US, it still trickled down from businesses to labor through steady wages. It also kept the wheels of the economy greased by keeping businesses out of bankruptcy, so when the lockdowns ended, the unemployed could return to work.

The steady wages piece here is key, because the lockdowns led to a significant reduction in daily expenses. So, i.e., if you had 5K in monthly expenses that were matched by 5K in income, for a non-negligible amount of time, you had 5K in income going against 3K in expenses. Even without direct stimulus payments, this led to a significant increase in average savings.

Now that the lockdowns are over, consumers - who now have money in the bank - also happen to have access to extraordinarily low interest rates (too much money chasing too few investment opportunities). Because of post-COVID structural issues, there is also an increase in the demand for labor, so wages are also increasing. And there's the much touted structural part of all of this.

We've never, ever (at least, from the early 20th century), seen as large of a reduction in global peacetime economic activity as we did in early-mid 2020. The closest example out there is the end of WW2. We've also never seen global economic activity drop, and then rebound, in such a short period of time.

> Maybe everyone can afford a jet ski all of a sudden? No, the stims didn’t really do /that/ kind of wealth expansion.

Getting back to your post, debt allows leverage. Consumers now have either lower monthly expenses (if they used their savings to pay off debt) or they have more money in the bank to use as a down payment. To use your example of a jet ski, a Yamaha EX at $7,200 USD can be purchased with 1K down and a 60 month repayment plan. The monthly payments will be $118 USD at a 5.2% (high) interest rate. So, the average American consumer, using only government-provided stimulus checks (3.2K per person), can afford the down payment along with almost two years of monthly payments for a jet ski before they have to start paying from their income.

Can they afford the jet ski outright? No, but consumer purchases are based on short term impulses, and the US stimulus checks, along with easy access to low interest debt, certainly pushes the equation towards consumption.

If you commute you will mostly ride on dedicated bike lanes without many stops so you can go at full speed most of the way. I've commuted around 3 miles in a not so bike friendly city in Europe and it took about 15 minutes since there are dedicated bikeways without any traffic lights you can take most of the way.

If you commute in rush hour that is actually a lot faster than going by car, so biking is the fastest option available.

Edit: And that was at a leisurely pace, similar to the effort of walking.

A Unix novice came to Master Foo and said: “I am confused. Is it not the Unix way that every program should concentrate on one thing and do it well?”

Master Foo nodded.

The novice continued: “Isn't it also the Unix way that the wheel should not be reinvented?”

Master Foo nodded again.

“Why, then, are there several tools with similar capabilities in text processing: sed, awk and Perl? With which one can I best practice the Unix way?”

Master Foo asked the novice: “If you have a text file, what tool would you use to produce a copy with a few words in it replaced by strings of your choosing?”

The novice frowned and said: “Perl's regexps would be excessive for so simple a task. I do not know awk, and I have been writing sed scripts in the last few weeks. As I have some experience with sed, at the moment I would prefer it. But if the job only needed to be done once rather than repeatedly, a text editor would suffice.”

Master Foo nodded and replied: “When you are hungry, eat; when you are thirsty, drink; when you are tired, sleep.”

Upon hearing this, the novice was enlightened.

I’ve noticed PCB Way used to sponsor the various electronics makers on YouTube.

So really why would anyone sponsor a YouTube creator directly when the sponsor can instead just place a google/YouTube ad directly over the video?

This is one of the factors for current inflation, but it's not sustainable over the long run.

I say that because, IIUC (and that's a real question), quantum mechanics treats the time dimension as symmetrical, which contradicts observation, at least to this point.

As far as I'm aware, the weak force is known (and experimentally demonstrated) to break time-reversal symmetry.

It's only combined Charge-Parity-Time symmetry that QM maintains.

Every single one of your comments explicitly discredits a game designer's opinion from having any merit on what makes games good. That's your entire argument against my statements.

> I never said a game couldn't be made better. All I did was point out that there is no singular "best" set of game mechanics, as you have repeatedly suggested.

I would love to read this argument of yours, presumably from years of research into the subject, for why it's literally impossible for a set of mechanics to be better than all others. If you haven't found it, that's fine; but others are looking for it.

> the only actual argument you've made so far is that you, personally, have discovered the absolute truths of the gaming universe, and anyone who doesn't agree with you simply doesn't understand game design.

Yeah that's how expertise works. I could record a series of lectures explaining everything, or maybe try write a book on the subject, but that'd take years I'd rather spend applying what I know and making better games. You can ask me specific questions to challenge my self declared expertise, if you want. That's discussion.

> I don't actually know ANY developers who share your mentality toward game design.

You literally know lots of game developers, all of whom think that Bejeweled and Candy Crush are good games? And you think I'm living in a bubble??
Emacs selling point is that you can easily change any part of editor. You can introspect it, you can test your changes in the repl and commit them into your config file. And that happens almost immediately as you're starting to learn Emacs. I did not experience that workflow with vscode. It's more like vim for me and Emacs stands on its own.
