New JRPG for the C64: Briley Witch Chronicles
I waited, for a good while and jumped into the game on a high end PC around the time of the 1.3 patch. And I loved it. I don't usually clock over 90 hours in a game, but I easily done it here.
That reminds me of this quote from Dick Dale, "I still remember the first night we played it ('Misirlou'). I changed the tempo, and just started cranking on that mother. And ... it was eerie. The people came rising up off the floor, and they were chanting and stomping."

It seems like people really are susceptible to a sort of mass hypnosis if you can make the right noises.
Nice setup!

It’s a bummer Google discontinued Chromecast Audio. I still have three of them and love them.

The new Nest Speakers don’t have audio out, so there no integration with nicer audio equipment.

This is what I've been waiting for for many years. I did these before answers could be found, and there's a few places I had "working" answers but wasn't happy with the maths and wished I could discuss it.

Just a few months ago a padding Oracle exploit was found against Microsoft exchange. There's a immense attack surface still out there for people who do these challenges.
I found SNOBOL a lot harder to work with than Icon. Icon is an Algol-like language in that it has the usual flow control mechanisms, enhanced with Icon's backtracking. SNOBOL is a lot more like assembly. So it's harder (for me) to read the basic control flow of a program.

I think SNOBOL predated the invention of structured programming, or at least Griswold wasn't aware of structured programming's advantages when he designed it.
Those register names seem to be 8008-inspired:

A (0): GP register/arg 0
B (1): GP register/arg 1
C (2): GP register/arg 2
D (3): GP register/arg 3
L (4): GP register/(L)ow index register
H (5): GP register/(H)igh index register

It claims to be a "RISC architecture" but the instructions are 1-3 bytes variable length, which is also more similar to the 8008 and other early 8-bit CPUs.

What am I missing? I skimmed the linked PDF @ [0] and it doesn't paint a picture remotely resembling what's being described in the VICE article:

Is there another paper documenting the nanoSIMS analysis?

So, yesterday, I was bored, so I asked myself, what if there is a declarative UI library like React but for Python?

Turns out there is. I haven't looked into it, but it looks pretty promising IMO. Maybe if I need to make some simple GUI app, I can use this. But, I am not really an expert in Python, so I haven't really looked deep into it, and there could be some drawbacks with this library.

So, what are your opinion in this?
This has been on my mind lately. I've had some pretty extreme conversations with colleagues. Some of them in retrospect come across as tense, and others just seem like inappropriate bullying. I've wrestled with whether leaving the situations where I felt abused I was just being sensitive

In time I've concluded it's about trust or something. It's one thing if I feel like the person is on the same side and we both want to do better. When I feel like the other person isn't acting in good faith though, or is just doing things that are unnecessarily abusive, it's different.
Random scalars definitely don't seem like somethign that needs radical technical solutions, no. I wonder if the tricky part is in choosing random vectors?

Just doing simple things like choosing a uniformly distributed random point in a disk or on the surface of a sphere are awkward enough to do efficiently; choosing a bunch of random points drawn from the London temperature/pressure/rainfall distribution for December is much worse. I wonder if that might be part of the complexity that is being elided to bring this article to a popular-science-reader level?

How do you feel about collaborative problem solving? A big reason talking-it-out is popular is because it provides signal on your communication, problem solving and collaboration skills.

If you sit there for 30 minutes banging out a solution in silence, I get a bit of signal. If you sit there for 30 minutes in silence doing nothing, then you're stuck and you've failed the interview as I didn't get the opportunity to assist.

Talking through is so important.

Without implying anything about other Western countries, and setting aside the US, I was curious how difficult it is to legally immigrate to Canada, since it's the nearest option to me, and everybody likes Canada. The following is what I found (no personal experience, just reading official sources on the internet)

While in theory one can move to Canada legally, it appears to me that becoming a permanent resident would be difficult or impossible for most people in the world.

There is a complicated points system that possibly a lot of HN readers could qualify for, but not most people.

They do not want you if you aren't a member of the managerial class, professional, or skilled tradesperson.

They also do not want you if you aren't between 18 and 35. It's not completely impossible but if you are closer to 50, there is a substantial penalty to your score.

They do not want you if you have any health or mental condition that they determine will put a burden on the public system.

They do not want you if you aren't fluent in English or French.

They do not want you if you aren't highly educated.

They do not want you if you don't have a guarantee of employment in Canada for a sufficient amount of time or a lot of money. Having a job in Canada isn't necessarily enough.

They do not want you if you have a criminal record, especially any form of DWI, whether alcohol, pot, or something else.

Marrying a Canadian is not an automatic pass.

There are also a bunch of specialized programs with different criteria, such as for refugees, people working as caregivers, etc.

> They are your average Joe, with barely any special skill.

You've clearly never been to a restaurant in LA or NY. These are chock full of "average Joes" working as bartenders and waitresses just waiting to "make it" in movies, tvs, commercials.

Many of the top twitch streamers have legitimate "skill", it's just not the skill you might be referring to in classic entertainment. For example "360 no scope sniper kills" might be the equivalent of "funny one liner quips".
I would have to say discovering and learning things. The vastness of breadth and depth of content and knowledge available on the internet is astounding. A lot of it can also be practiced on the same devices whether in a browser, source code, or downloaded app. Most other things that were fussy or hard like image, sound, video, midi are so accessible now. Computer or online Chess, Go, sure.

Surprisingly, cell-phones and sms are useful to me, but much less so mobile apps and things. IM is only better because sms is slow/unreliable for no good reason and the occasional group chat. The only real day/night difference is having GPS maps readily available if I'm in an unfamiliar area. I like the form factor of a Surface tablet. Small/light enough to take any time and try out ideas on-the-spot when you have them rather than wait til you get somewhere with something more than a consuming device. I really hope we get some mobile AR/VR consumer gear soon that I can use with cloud creator apps/platforms--a bigger screen in a smaller form-factor.

You don’t know what you’re talking about.

AWS spends a lot of time thinking about this problem in service to their customers.

How do you reduce the status of millions of machines, the software they run, and the interconnected-ness of those systems to a single graphical indicator?

It would be dumb and useless to turn something red every single time anything had a problem. Literally there are hundreds of things broken every minute of every day. On-call engineers are working around the clock on these problems. Most of the problems either don’t affect anyone due to redundancy or affect only a tiny number of customers- a failed memory module or top-of-rack switch or a random bit flip in one host for one service.

Would it help anyone to tell everyone about all these problems? People would quickly learn to ignore it as it had no bearing on their experience.

What you’re really arguing is that you don’t like the thresholds they’ve chosen. That’s fine, everyone has an opinion. The purpose of health dashboards like these are mostly so that customers can quickly get an answer to “is it them or me” when there’s a problem.

As others on this thread have pointed out, AWS has done a pretty good job of making the SHD align with the subjective experience of most customers. They also have personal health dashboards unique to each customer, but I assume thresholding is still involved.
Right. The ordinary firebrick system with separate heaters would be limited to about 1000 C, although I've seen a concept using sand flowing through a heater that would reach 1200 C.
It took many years to realize the role of software is to be flexible to maintain and modify at the code level.

That's the entire point of "soft"ware. Otherwise there would be no point on doing on a CPU what could be made on an integrated circuit 1000 times faster.

A single guy writing whatever code they decided to do, may create a good program. But as requirements change, and the ownership gets passed on, it quickly becomes a nightmare to modify or refactor.

Good code made in SlowScript® by a team based on consensus on architecture and coding style has more potential for success as a product than the fast and optimized spaghetti code made by the best hacker in the world.
Sure. So far I’ve driven maybe 500k kilometers and I’m doing pretty okay so far. Twice a deer at low speed and that’s about it.

Every time when my car issues AEB, I’m ahead of it mentally and AEB only interferes with what I want to do. But I’ve driven race cars on Nordschleife so I guess I’m an outlier here.
The point with visibility is that it's a necessary precondition towards establishing an actual market.

Or to put it another way, without it, you certainly can't answer the question "Where is the best deal for my procedure?" But more importantly, you can't even answer "Are my insurer's negotiated rates a good deal for the procedure?"
How often do you engage your slow brain (from thinking fast and slow)?

I feel like it's like speed chess and not normal chess. You have no time to think till after the game, you just have to do and trust your gut.

That’s what command-backtick is for. It cycles between windows in a single application.

But thanks for answering my question. It’s been a long time since I used windows so I didn’t know (or forgot) there was a difference.
Exactly. If the error-handling idioms of the language force me to be duplicative in ways that make useful work harder, then it sounds like it's not the right language for the project in question.
I build “74 series logic” computers as a hobby. It’s a lot of fun!

It’s not difficult to buy old 74x181 and 74x182 ICs on eBay. You can even get sixteen-bit ALUs like the IDT 7831 for decent prices.

Build a register file from a bank of registers. For example, use a 74x138 and a few 74x377.

Alternatively, either use a true dual port SRAM to build a three port register file, or build your own from a time-multiplexed SRAM and some bus transceivers.

Complex combinational logic can be implemented in an EEPROM truth table pretty easily.

Sometimes, part of the fun is figuring out how to build a complex device from a very limited palette of parts.
I really love those suggested questions. I made a note to come back to this next time I have to do some interviews.
It's tricky to interview people lacking experience, but with >=decade of experience just do deep dives into past projects. You're basically talking to one of if not the authority on whatever it was they worked on, let them tell you all about it, down to the weeds. If they can't, then you've probably got a problem.
Hades is a much smaller game than either The Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk. Scale makes things harder.
Companies are really bad at interviewing. They toss the task to programmers and engineers who have never been trained in it, and expect them to not suck.

The best way, as always, is to connect with people you already know and have them short-circuit the broken process via existing trust.
There are slower and faster moments.

e.g after recalling/killing enemies/dying you have like 30sec to look around map and think what you as team want to do / achieve and how to do that

It depends on the stage of the game, but generally when enemies are around, then you may don't have time to think.
You have to set up your https tunnel on AWS or GCP and then tunnel that to your own server. They will not range block AWS, and you can vary the IP every day.

The easiest way to avoid confusing affect with effect is to use other words.
2.5 for Twitch so far was listed earlier in the articles. Either way, my point stands, he can retire if wants.
Hades is a good game. You might enjoy it more than witcher 3. But it's multiple orders of magnitude smaller no matter how you cut it. If you want to build enormous games, you tend to need enormous effort.
So a screening system that only allows devs with your writing style in is valid why?

I use Vim, it's just different learning and development styles, I think.

I’m very capable of focusing when there is a lot of money on the line.
If you really want to test someone's coding, let them do some coding in their own time with their own tools and send it to you. This isn't ideal, since it can be time consuming, but I think it's more humane than live coding in some weird environment.

Looks like he has ADHD.

That sounds ad-hominem. I found the post perfectly readable.

Maybe he learned programming on heavy-weight IDEs and got trapped mentally in those?

Maybe he just thinks differently than you do? His body of work is not suggestive of someone "trapped" in an IDE or other dysfunctional midset.
What culture war?
My world timeline basically split into before and after when AlphaGo won game 3. What we imagined was mechanically possible and not possible was greatly mistaken. I remember walking around in a light-headed daze, watching people go about their daily business not realizing that the world had changed. Everything since then is still great to read about and I do get surprised from time to time, especially about the diversity of applications rather than more strength in a given area. At the same time, I'm not shocked by any of it. I don't even think discovering basic material/cells or microorganisms on a nearby planet or moon would surprise me as much today as AlphaGo did. We don't have confirmation, but it's not entirely unexpected--'How' is that mystery rather than imagining its possibility.

Discovering new areas of application however obscure or deep in any field is what I find more amazing than any practical immediate application of ML-after all the G in AGI is general so we should be hitting all the bases.
> Assuming someone is an adult, they are are considered equal. Why not allow the right to be treated as the age they identify with.

Not all adults are created equal. Again, society decided that there are hard limits on this for a number of reasons. I get that you're canvassing for some larger queer argument to be made, but it's not a like comparison. I can't identify as 45 years old and run for president just like how I can't identify as 65 years old and claim AARP benefits. You can assume the identity of those ages, but you won't collect any of the benefits that you've listed above.
Agreed. I'm kinda shook at a lot of the comments here, IMO missing the point (or lack of point) of the article. It's a slice of life view into a poignantly tragic story of a kid "lucking" into a terrible pair of golden handcuffs - a view into the apex of parasocial relationships. Someone who so clearly lacks any semblance of a social life, in the same hand creating a social environment for thousands of people - chiefly centered around making fun of him. There's no moral "good" or "bad" here.

As readers we can draw our own conclusions here, but to call the author biased into making the life/platform/phenomenon of twitch streamers bad? That's just a really narrow view of a fairly compelling article.
Thanks! Your formulation makes a lot of sense.
"the other 99.9999999%" would imply that computers now are a billion times faster than a C64. For some tasks, that's true; a GeForce RTX 3090 is claimed to be 36 teraflops, which is a billion times 36000 flops, and the C64 is more like 10000 flops if we figure we need 100 clock cycles per floating-point operation.

But, for other tasks, it's not a billion times faster; single-threaded 16-bit integer code might get 0.125 operations per clock cycle on the C64 and 3 operations per clock cycle on a modern CPU with a 4000 times faster clock, making the modern computer only about 96000 times faster. The way I look at things, 96000 is closer to being 100 than it is to being a billion.

In cases like that, it's only making you wonder what we're doing with the other 99.999%.

Once your program is using more data than will fit on a 1541, though, everything totally changes.
Agree. My 2003 Prius was my favorite car ever. Fantastic mileage, and it just worked. If only I'd had a cage around the (very expensive!) catalytic converter, I might still have it.

GTA V is rock solid, better written, better tuned, and more immersive than Cyberpunk. Of any mechanic I'm aware of that both games have, Cyberpunk's implementation is not as good.

Compare being chased by the police in GTA vs Cyberpunk for example.
