Do people on HN not play videogames at all?

Shovel Knight didn't get popular because it was crossed over into so many games, Shovel Knight got incredibly popular for being one of the best platformers of the decade that kept releasing high quality free DLC.

It was notorious for being a kickstarter that actually gave back. The reason it ended up in so many other games is because it was so popular. The exact same thing happened with UNDERTALE.

> Now imagine an NFT collection that's popular enough to have multiple games wanting to incorporate it into their games(...)

This was *already done* with amiibos. They just weren't NFTs, and were infinitely more efficient. Literally any game developed for the switch has an api to interact with amiibos, the names in amiibos are some of gamings largest characters, and barely anybody uses it.

You are seriously detached from what gamers actually want if you think they'd react positively to Bored Apes being put in WoW. Not only would it be a PR nightmare for the developers of WoW, but they would quite literally gain nothing from it except an expensive, comically inefficient lookup table of hashes to items they don't care about.
Some of my classmates were in nature just not cut out for engineering. Several would even tell you as much. But there's an implied contract- work hard, make the grade, get the degree. It might ultimately be more merciful if students with no aptitude could be ejected from the program- but how do you make this selection?

My alma mater didn't really push internships, but in retrospect perhaps a strong internship program would help students self select against employers.
In the US at least, herd immunity went away as a goal really in like May 2020. It’s always been to flatten the curve so hospitals can deal with the sick until everyone can get vaccinated. At this point, it’s just to flatten the curve so our health care system doesn’t completely implode while everyone is slowly (or not so slowly) coming in contact with the virus.

There is also international travel as a point - the vaccine isn’t available at will everywhere, so there’s some being a good neighbor in slowly the general spread of the vaccine as well.
Maybe some sort of audible alarm could be in order. Let say every 1-4h hours.
Oh yeah that's a valid criticism. Same reason why I don't plan on writing a CRUD API in Rust. It's an uphill slog compared to Rails or Node.
afaik yes the policy changed, there now is Germany-remote as a „location“ but this doesn’t come by default you put in a request and it needs Director or someone equally as high to approve it. Easier to do internally rather than as a new hire (when you’re not applying for a very experienced role). Sometimes teams have a „remote ok“ policy when specialists cannot be found locally but this is rare.
Yes - banner ads are constantly targeted by malicious actors. My employer pays a vendor something like $200k/mo for creative scanning to avoid issues like this. Google certainly spends tens of millions a year trying to avoid issues like this.

See vendors like “the media trust”
That seemed reasonable because almost everyone selling NFTs conflates the two unless pressed. The way the community talks to journalists and potential customers seems very bait and switch — go through this thread alone and see how many people are talking about ownership without even a tiny footnote saying “… of the receipt, not the referenced URL”.
I second the first video, it's extremely well done, and as someone who never played minecraft I almost understood what happened.
Lazy parents? Don’t be hasty.

A coworker of mine had every intention of not having any screentime for their toddler. But lockdown meant two parents working from home + no daycare. The solutions were either one of them quits their job or they buy an iPad. Economy necessity dictated the latter.

With my toddler, we retained zero screentime simply because my wife is freelance and can get away with ~10 hours of actual work per week.
As someone in another comment thread pointed out, the requirements also put you on the spot if 50,000 Cali citizens have personal data that you've got access to.

And, as someone also pointed out in that thread, being on Hackernews and having IP logging may be enough to trigger that requirement.

Further, with the absolute shitshow that is the US court system, if someone brings a frivolous suit you're looking at thousands of dollars in legal fees, because you're going to need a lawyer (or previous experience in law) to properly explain to the judge why this suit is utterly ridiculous. And there's no guarantee if you'll get compensated for that, even if you file counter-suit--and even if you do get compensation, it's likely going to happen several years later, after the guy who tried to sue you does everything in his power to avoid paying up, because he knows you're eventually going to run out of money.
"Cultural genocide" should be called "memocide".

At the point that you are only using the word "gene" metaphorically, it's time to switch to the word that already exists for that purpose: the "meme".
Maybe it isn't buzzing because the community isn't ingested in making that buzzing platforms work.

What would make _you_ contribute to make SciRate more buzzing?
Has anyone got the same kind of alerts with AirPods 3/Pro? This is a recurrent issue while hanging out with SO, friends and family and the only devices that we believe carrying are those AirPods.

War with China is not possible because of nuclear weapons. China can do anything to Taiwan. And China size will make sanctions essentially useless (especially because half of the world will not join those sanctions).
they put a lot of effort into making it relevant/exciting for a lot of kids. A lot of it is turtle like, in describing the steps to move a famous character, but much of it can be free form and the use of blocky/JS allows for an interesting intersection. Before my eldest could comfortably just read, the block interface was intuitive enough to piece together the ideas. Blocky is pretty neat.
I live in a country with a vaccination rate over 90% and we still have partial lockdowns.

So I suggest you reassess whether meeting that goal in your location would result in things going back to normal for you.
The crazy part is that having autistic tendencies correlated to some level of being great at looking at realities and getting work done.

Makes me think I should start a company focusing on recruiting in that community.
Yes, but travel is expensive and time consuming. Not to mention the effort it would take to track down the responsible party.
Well it is very hard to argue against this. Do you mean to say that people should not be able to decide what is more important to them so that resources can be appropriately allocated?
I would like a SAFE distributed shell - allow me to run commands seamlessly on remote machines as if they are on my own.

Not to doubt the will of the Ukrainians, but this seems like a poll that would have heavy time consistency bias.

Everyone is willing to actively resist an invasion until the moment comes to risk your life.
Oh I'm not saying it's possible, but I do think it requires a culture of remote first. I believe Hashicorp was remote from the beginning. That's a lot different than trying to pivot an existing large company to fully remote.
We've seen what happens when authoritarian governments which start locking minorities up in concentration camps progress to inventing historical grievances to start seizing territory. Appeasement doesn't work.
I'd say places lie on a spectrum of sucking. With a lot of places being very important and far from perfect. Those places really should get good security.
That means designing for security in the common situation rather than the situation of 'best practices'.

I think we should optimize security for say the 80th percentile company as far as not following best practices (i.e. 80% of companies have better practices than what I suggest targeting).

Oh word? Someone should have told the authors while they were getting their MDs and PhDs. Well glad that you were able to solve it, coldcode.
> And then there must be (?) shortcuts?

The shortcut is that if the code is well-structured, the use of config files should be isolated and clearly visible and you replace that without touching or needing to step through the rest.

But that depends on the code structure.
"root access to your mind"??

Just what do you think therapy is?
I was blind until I was 4 and while I have some neurological visual issues, my social skills are fine even though I couldn't see facial expressions at that age. Not saying it didn't have an impact, but it's probably not that serious.
I was in for 8 years, 1 month. I was never convicted. I was just in jail because I didn't have the money to bail out, otherwise I would not have spent a day inside.

It's not like the movies at all. All the races talked to each other and were pretty respectful. If there was a fight it was usually enforced to be only one-on-one. Every now and again someone from a person's gang would back him up in a fight, but it wasn't necessarily race-specific as the gangs have become very multicultural - you'll find Latino gangs with blacks and vice-versa. Often it's because people are so mixed now - is the guy black, mixed, Latino? Who knows?

I would change the prison system by practically abolishing the prison system. I don't think putting people in a box helps them. Almost every single person I met in jail was in there because of a raft of mental health issues that made it so their brain said committing a crime was OK and fuck the possible consequences. We need vastly more mental health support, especially for men who typically are not open about their weaknesses.
My personal use case is syncing my music to my Garmin watch. I'm a paid Youtube Premium member but Garmin only syncs with Spotify and some other small-fry services, not Youtube Music. So I use ytdl on a daily scheduled job to pull down every mp3 from my Workout playlist. These get automatically added to my watch when I plug it in for charging.

I don't believe anything I'm doing is illegal, or if it is I doubt anyone would care. It's just a way for me to listen to the music I already pay for that works for me.
Following those questions by citing a statute of the law, however, IS a legal threat. Implicit in citing specific parts of the law is the threat that those parts of the law apply to this situation.

> But lockdown...

The entire point of this sub-thread was to analyze the trend pre-lockdown. (FWIW, I'm then not wanting to comment on whether this is lazy behavior or not, but just that this defense is out of place.)
No I don’t, but it’s not unlikely that omicrons risks for the individual could be similar to previous strains. Then there’s also high transmissibility. When following the precautionary principle we shouldn’t act expecting the best but the worst.
I was considering the Eiffel Tower as I wrote that but at this point it feels more like a relic of the past that doesn’t make sense to view through a contemporary lens.
But infants aren't really susceptible to covid (not sure if they get it less frequently or not, but they very rarely develop strong symptoms). This is in contrast to flu which strongly affects children, so I'm not sure that exposure in utero would have as strong an effect as in 1918. But maybe sick mothers are have an impact on the fetus.
Yeah, std is actually just stuff re-exported from core + some more stuff.

Look at where your arms are when you type and where your keyboard is in relation to your body. Then, imagine doing that on a plane, where your elbows generally have to stay tucked in and your keyboard is either on your tray table or resting on your thighs. Factor in the likelihood that the passenger in front of you will recline the seat back to rest during the flight.

Long story short, in six years of long-haul flights for work, I have never been productive on a laptop, aside from answering that one urgent email or running that one urgent remote command.
One can make much the same argument regarding alcohol.
It is a potent neurotoxin.

Drink too much of it, you die. (Alcohol Poisoning / OD)

Drink it too often the liver will have issues.

For one Alcohol metabolizes into Acetaldehyde which is an even more potent poison. Usually, the liver takes care of it, but if there is too much and too often the liver can't deal with it all. Acetaldehyde is said to damage the DNA.

It is also linked to developing cancer.

There are many studies that claim drinking in moderation is healthy for you.
Mostly that deals with chemicals contained for instance in wine but not related to the Alcohol

All that is something that happens to your body.
Whilst smoking annoys everyone who must smell it.

However, the overall cost of the abuse of alcohol to society is enormous.
Aside from the physical damage it does, it is a huge contributing factor
to sexual harassment, rape, domestic abuse, violence, child abuse (in so many ways), car crashes, homicide, impaired judgement.

An argument can be made that the impact of alcohol on society is much worse
than tobacco.

Still alcohol is a popular poison.
The last time the US tried to ban it, it didn't work out too well.
It is ingrained in culture in many places and many ways.

Personally, I think weed is much safer than alcohol.
I do prefer people have it in ways that do not impact others.
Walking around smelling weed smoke is not that great.

I have always said that people should be allowed more of a choice
in how to get high/drunk/euphoric/relax.
Now we have weed so that gives people a choice.
I think MDMA and LSD should also be legal.
(But made legally in safe and pure forms)
Heh, that sounds like a nightmare for me personally. If going to an artificial place to get tired every day works for you, that's great, but this is not generally good advice. If it's purely about physical fitness (I'm really not quite sure what your goal with this method is, perhaps you could edit to clarify), going into nature to cycle or jog is much better due to the nature-happiness correlation (e.g. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/001391651245190... but there are many sources for this).
Containing China by deploying troops is one thing. The US did deploy troops all over the world to contain advancement of countries under the USSR influence, or simply “communist” countries or governments, during that time.

Starting a full on proxy war in Vietnam during the Cold War era is a completely different issue. Same goes for Korea.

China wasn’t that big of a threat to the US. Pretending that it was, and that it was at the same level of the USSR, is ridiculous and close to historic revisionism at this point.
You are mixing up two legal concepts: one is intellectual property ownership; the other is liability for republishing what others say. They are two different bodies of law: IP law (copyright/trademark) and tort law (libel etc.). They are analyzed under separate legal lenses.

you know what really impacts early cognitive performance? having one's parents die from covid. So while social distancing, closings, and masks completely suck, they have been necessary in order to attempt to maintain public health, and without them, there would have been vastly more deaths.

Participating in trade with the PRC requires action to support the PRC through domestic censorship and diplomatic support on issues the PRC cares about (Taiwan).

France has a choice in whether they choose to support the PRC or not - this requires stepping on red lines and facing the consequences.
I do think that anti-natalist sentiment is very much overblown in the United States, while in the EU we don't see this position being claimed in public a lot. If by "screwed" you mean anthropogenic climate change, then by now it's pretty obvious that it will be mitigated via some form of geoengineering (see, for example recent guardian's popularizing take on it: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/sep/30/geoengineering... )

To anyone who can look at the fertility curves and population pyramids, it should be pretty obvious that the real problem of the coming decades is demographic shift, and corresponding growth of dependency ratio. Compared to climate change, our authorities don't really propose a good solution for this crisis, except vague wording about more automation and more immigration (from the countries which, by they way, live through the same falling fertility curves).

If this reasoning still doesn't convice you, consider how hellish your own personal life is going be without grandchildren to take care of you. Western nursery homes staffed by min-wage workers speaking another language are not the place I'd wish for anyone to live in, but it's a de-facto place where grandparents of middle-class families are left to experience their final years.

In any case, I urge the readers to open the mentioned curves and statistical data and do the math to come to their own conclusion.
I would agree if

a. Their development team was more professional (locking threads when feedback starts coming in, making offhand derogatory comments about people's reading comprehension skills, trying to minimize serious problems to avoid dealing with merge requests/more work, blaming downstream actors like PopOS! for simply using their software and disagreeing with their ethos, etc.)

b. They used their funding to actually fix issues (GTK4 still has text rendering issues. 8 months later. Insert obligatory "thumbnail file picker" comment here)

c. They didn't regress features that previously worked (No more extensions, no more desktop tweaks, overall fewer settings in new releases, design upgrades that are decidedly opinionated)

d. They didn't treat their opinions as gospel (eg. encouraging Flatpak-or-die culture when Flatpak itself is still in it's infancy and wildly unstable, going out of their way to obfuscate theming interfaces, having "one guy" come up with a new design for something and implementing it before the community decides if it's something they want)

Yeah, I think I am comfortable calling them "the bad guys" in the current landscape of Linux. GTK's team is still fine (barely) but the overall effort to combine the two, add middleware like libadwaita, move fast and break things, and blame it on the user when things stop working is just getting to be asinine.

They can have a vision if they want, but it shouldn't have to come at the expanse of the rest of the community. That's how you burn goodwill.
I'm surprised to see no mention of nushell [0] I've tried it a while ago and seemed really promising

> Yes? Why wouldn't that work?

Because videogames are different? There's absolutely no logic connecting items in one game to another in almost all cases. As such, the set of items the developers would actually want to implement (ever) would be only those that make sense inside their game, and they'd have to reimplement the models and statistics.

Even more so, the effort necessary to implement new items in any game means that they'll only ever bother with the most expensive items (that also happen to make sense within their world), which restricts the set of items *massively*. Oh, and the developers get absolutely nothing back for doing this except a PR disaster.

Furthermore, it's entirely centralised anyway. You have to trust the game client to interpret 0x1fabc3... as $ITEM when the game client could completely lie and change what item that corresponds to, or how useful it was. This is quite literally just an expensive API call.

NFTs serve literally no purpose here. There's no decentralisation, there's no reason why items in videogames should ever be cross-compatible anyway (It's literally like asking why you can't write C# and Haskell in the same file and just have it work).
I think the most important feature of `exa` is not what additional information it could show, but rather what it does not show. It makes moden ergonomic choices presenting directory information using omissions, abbreviations, and colours.
Is there any way to solve for that? I’ve noticed that and maybe that’s it or other chunked download stuff. That I haven’t been able to download. Never looked into this stuff enough to see what solutions are (besides brute force screen recording Ofc)
But that hack requires deep OS access and is not trivial, but for those with a nation state agency behind them, good to keep in mind
In about mid-2020, I used sites like https://buildmypc.net/ and https://pcpartpicker.com/, read through some other people's builds around my price point (I was aiming for <$1000), and researched individual components. Ended up building around an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 + Asus Prime X570P, with 32GB of RAM and an Rx580 GPU.

Example of a problem you'll have right now: I bought that Sapphire Pulse Rx 580 8GB for the GPU. Spent $190. Used ones of those are selling in the $400-$500 range right now, and $500-$600 new. And that seems about the baseline for most 8GB cards. Looks like some 4GB cards cost less, but still more than I paid for the one a year and a half ago. I think it's possible to jump on a local retailer when they finally get something in stock, but I'm not even positive on that.

CPUs don't seem to be quite as bad, but have had a serious price jump too. I paid $175 for my 3600. Some are still selling used for around that price, and new for more (but still under the prices of the zen 3 CPUs after it).
Yes, do this if you want to actually use the screen properly. But do not do this if you want to test how awful your content looks on other people's setups.
You had different certificates that were valid (check a "dictée" from a CEP at the end of primary school, I am not sure that many people would make less than 4 grammatical mistakes).

Now you have private certificates that employers start asking (voltaire certificate) and there will be similar in math.

Regarding Switzerland, check the subject and grading of ECR in Vaud https://www.vd.ch/themes/formation/scolarite-obligatoire/eva... and an 8P example https://www.vd.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/organisation/dfj/dge... it's at the end of the first year of middle school // 12years old. Considering the way of grading, my daughter would pass it at 7.
Seems like there's a competitive advantage for some company to make room for people who are not neurotypical. Though I wonder what that would look like.
Bingo. People are eager to dunk on education even though it's blatantly obvious that having a solid education is a tool, one of a plethora of tools, that is used to construct a career. Even academics will tell you that; they have to politick harder than anyone to win grants and reach tenure.
Good to know. Which country? Why are they implementing lockdowns?

The other problem is that just hitting the % isn’t good enough. You need to keep up to date if boosters are required. So definitely not easy.
