This seems like a great thread to ask for game recommendations.

These are my favorite turn-based games of all time:

HOMM 1, 2 & 3

Advance Wars series (including DS and DOR)

Uniwar (a surprisingly excellent mobile game inspired by Advance Wars and Starcraft 1)

Civilization 5 + Vox Populi / Community Patch (my favorite overall, but I'm getting bored of it because end game takes too long, even on quick. at least it's still actively developed, which is nice when I get the urge)

Into the Breach (least amount of playtime on my list, but it's still very solid. Playing it actually makes me feel kind of sad, because it seems like the skeleton for a great successor to Advance Wars, but there's no Steam Workshop for it, and no built-in versus mode or multiplayer)

Battle of Polytopia (second-least played amount, but also very solid. Imagine if someone made a game out of the first ~30 turns of a Quick-paced Civ5 game)

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (when I imagine my perfect turn-based game that I would design if I had the money to hire a full team of people, it's a mix of HOMM, Advance Wars, Civ5, and DCSS. It's the only roguelike I've enjoyed enough to play more than once, and I've played it a LOT)

Games that I already tried and didn't like enough to continue playing

Total War series

Rest of the HOMM series (HOMM 4+), including mods

Civ 6

Wargroove

Endless Legend

Humankind (sad to not have liked this one, I was so hyped for it)

King's Bounty series

Age of Wonders series (including Planetfall)

Warhammer 40k: Gladius (it's almost worth playing, but falls short)
The feedback that you didn’t understand what it was… sorry apparently I failed again…

This tool is a live programming environment. The code that you write is organized in cells, and the observable runtime links cells together in a computing graph (similar to how cells in excel form a computation graph). Conceptually it is very similar to data science notebooks (and that is in fact what observable is)

The language is JavaScript. Some will say that JavaScript is not suited to do data manipulation, and in many regards it is true. But in many use cases, javascript in the browser is good enough, and it has the added benefit to allow you to use all kinds of data visualization libraries and it doesn’t require you to hire Python guys, which in my experience can bring its own set of problems.

What I meant by it being very tactical is that you are limited to calculations that fit in a browser window. So it doesn’t really scale to the size of FB… that said it would allow someone at Facebook to fiddle with the results of some large scale data analysis.

Hopefully that explains a little more. But yeah really a demo will be a lot clearer
As a teenager it can be a bad thing. That would have been tough on me as a kid. Obviously in hindsight I can see my fears were silly. At the time though?
> Unless you want to make IPC calls for every logging call

Isn't this more or less what ends up happening anyway? Sure, from the application's perspective it's just a function call. But usually, in the end, the logs are shipped to some central location one way or another.
> AFAIK most jobs that would pay under what's enough to live on are entry level jobs usually carried out part-time by students.

This is a rosy view of things, but I don't believe its true. Walk into plenty of markets in poorer or even middle class areas and you will find older people doing these jobs out of necessity. I've seen 'entry level job' used very often as a way to exploit people with not much choice.
I don’t know

I heard subscriptions could be done but i havent checked in years
The roof of my house being lifted 6-10 inches directly upward, rotated about 30 degrees, and slammed back down

I saw almost the exact same thing last week. One of the neighbours lost their roof and when it blew off it looked like levitation for a few minutes. Then it shifted about 100 feet and slammed to the ground.
They focus so much on disobeying the crowd that they still let it dictate their decisions.
Indexes and compound indexes tend to become slow themselves when you end up indexing a significant fraction of the columns or when your result sets are a significant portion of the total for count. They cost extra time and space to update on write. If your database has concurrent writes going on Postgres still needs to verify which row versions are visible to the transaction on read. The additional pressure on memory and disk means you have a bigger working set. The query planner has a combinatorial number of indexes to choose from
So the planning stage slows down. You have to spend even more time on analyze to keep the estimates (which power this technique) correct etc. At 10s of millions of rows with more than a few low cardinality columns in the filter it’s sometimes faster to just get as much of the table as you can into ram and accept the scan.
Retirement is a near universal human goal. Why would people work instead of retire? That seems at odds with observed behavior.
So, IDK what the Java world had that was similar, but in .NET at one time they tried to solve this at the runtime VM level with the concept of Security Permissions and trust levels. In practice, this wound up being:

- Somewhere between too confusing/frustrating to developers (especially ASP.NET ones, where often the escape hatch of 'AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute' would get thrown around)

- Hard to manage from a per-app granularity standpoint.

Edit, hit the post button too early:

In any case, this behavior wound up getting changed to be a lot more forgiving in .NET 4 (although, often in fact requiring the removal of the aforementioned APTCA from your web projects,) and IIRC it's gone in Core.
This is a fascinating thought. I wonder if the challenge will be different for legislation cf contracts. I will take a look.
>> Given that we're the ~only country in the world

Well you're not the only country on the internet so...which country are you referring to? And how do you define "long after it was shown that schools pose miniscule risk"?

Seems to me many countries did this for a long time and at least in my country cases spike when schools open and infections spread to older family members. This is visible both in cases/deaths correlating with school reopenings + from what I've seen anecdotally.
that was a great way to describe the jobs paradox right now
There's research supporting the optimist strategy but I'll be lame in that I can't link you to it without searching for it longer than I can dedicate time for. I think Codex Alpha talked about it fwiw. Personally, I'm in the "shoot for the stars, hope for the moon" camp. Pragmatic optimism or realistic optimism? Some such.
I think you've got it backwards on the class difference? The "screen time" opposition seems more trendy in the social elite.
Yeah I don’t think it’s a big deal. There are some ways exclusions happen but that would be happening no matter what for group stuff except for group texting. Otherwise you’re always on some platform.
ummm. also i have an iterview with meta tomorrow morning.
>"poses a self-diagnosis risk"

Self-diagnosing is not the problem it is made out to be - I live with my symptoms 24/7, doctor sees me for 5 minutes. The amount of times doctors have missed fairly clear sign of trouble in my family is disturbingly high. A simple procedure, done in time, would have saved two people I know.

Unfortunately our educational system teaches you about mitochondrion, but not the practical difference between ibuprophene and paracetomol, or CRP.
Why is the conclusion absurd? Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Comparing it to theft is actually a very generous interpretation. To me advertising is more like mind rape for profit. Someone pays money to violate your mind and insert into it whatever noise they want whether you consent to it or not.
That matches my experience too.

Correlation, in general, just means some sort of statistical dependence: knowing x tells you something about y. It's often "operationalized" by computing Pearson's r: it's easy to do and there's lots of associated theory.

However, I would find it absolutely bizarre if someone showed a plot with obvious non-linear dependence and described it as "uncorrelated". In that case, the low r reflects a failure of the measuring tool rather than something being measured.
new steel good
I don't think that's particularly useful though. A program with requirements like that seems more likely to be split up into two independent pieces.
Linux Foundation Report on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion in Open Source
Yes but it's harder, so your expected outcome is lower.
10.4 was also the first release for Intel Macs and therefore was the first version for the majority of modern day MacOS users.
Well, if you're going to be reasonable we'll have to stop arguing :)

I'm a "hard science" guy. My degree is in physics and I work writing software. But last 1-2 decades I've found economics to be the most interesting science there is, since it makes me understand society much better than I used to.
Idk the highly upvoted pg article about "orthodox privilege" is also up there for me.
Is the proliferation of car brands harming the motor-vehicle ecosystem?

Surely it would be better to restrict sales to two car brands and only allow two models within those two brands.

(That's a ridiculous suggestion, isn't it? About as ridiculous as restricting the number of Linux distros. As with cars, people want things that suit THEIR needs better, not what everybody else in the world THINKS they should use.)

The beauty of Linux is that distros can be as individual (Ferrari) or as widespread (F150) as the cars on the road are. So some people like Windows (Ford) or MacOS (GM), so what? The choice of Operating systems can be as broad as the choice of cars.
It is funny anyway, and I see it mostly as a preparation for Neuralink in terms of its moral aspects, which is kinda interesting philosophically speaking.
I have a OnePlus 8T which also has a hardware mute switch. They're there, you've just gotta look around.
That's actually false. It starts when the car is stopped but the driver is not required to exit the vehicle to get it to start.

There are videos of people running this program while they remain in their Teslas.
There's a lot of banks in Europe that have Cobol and M4 legacy systems which need maintenance. Banks tend to pay well and there's few young people competing for these boring jobs.

I'd say double down on the fact that you have experience with old technology. Then find a good headhunter / recruitment firm to work with you. If you're willing to start out as an external contractor, they might get you started working without any interview at all.

Also, do some projects just for fun. Nothing screams "fake" like a self-proclaimed experienced coder with no battle stories.
Why would 5G be cheaper to implement in IoT devices vs 4G?
Access to audiences beyond a handful in size are much rarer than what you can easily find online.
Yeah, both examples where the people quoting it miss that the out-of-place context of the thing they're quoting is what made it funny, not the words alone.
> the mass electronics market is the stupid tchotchke market

No, it's not. Very few people can afford to buy new smartphones/laptops/TVs for fun. Most consider their purchase for a while, choose the right model, and then use it for a few years. Most people use these tools daily, hourly even. These are not random tchotchkes.

But pretty much everyone can buy some dumb dollar store toy for their kid, only for the kid to play with it once or twice and lose all interest.
My first side project! I built an automatic news aggregator site
Macs are where the pricing becomes much worse! iPhones have high resale value and there’s usually deals in the US. so phone cost is negligible. Or maybe it’s the combo of it all. I have a cheaper iPad too.

Cool to know how both of you chat. Are you in your earlier 20s? I’m respectfully asking :). I ask because Snap’s demographics skew pretty young? I run a virtual free coworking camaraderie community. The only people there who have brought up Snap have been 2-3 people under 25. This is a small sample size though.

That's the point of Fisher and those before him, isn't it?

Counter culture gets recuperated. New terrain becomes deterritorialized and reterritorialized. Edge becomes fashionable and popular.

Even if we knew what would, would that thing survive getting mentioned on HN?
I understand where you're getting at.

I think many pessimistic people don't start or give up earlier and this leads to the self fulfilling prophecy.

Could be wrong, objective data would be needed for sure.
Likewise, I'd pay that as well (I'd like no ads as well, but tracking is the main issue for me).

Similarly, I do have DDG as my main search on all machines and devices just out of principle, but its region-aware searching (I'm in NZ, and often only want NZ results) are very close to useless in my experience (with NZ as the region ticked, it will still return results from .ca and .co.uk domains, which I would have hoped would be almost trivial to remove), and Google seems much better in this area (but not perfect).

Similarly, there's often technical/programming things I'll search for that DDG doesn't have indexed at all, and Google does.

Google also seems a lot better at ignoring spelling differences (color/colour, favorite/favourite) than DDG, which is often (but not always!) useful.

How does this compare to Japanese steels such as HAP40 and Aogami White/Blue/Super?

There's a modern art museum inside the building. Possibly the only thing worth seeing.
As someone who has been forced to use software like this, I'd be afraid to take measures like that lest the software flag it as tampering or evidence of cheating.

My grades (or worse, my good standing with the integrity office) are held at gunpoint and I feel compelled to act accordingly.
Not everyone can or wants to be persistent enough to do this kind of thing. In isolation these stories are interesting. As policy, these stories argue against changes to housing and zoning in the US, which are obviously needed. Like, "live in and remodel a shed and wait to capitalize on a historically bad housing market wipeout" isn't useful advice, much less a housing policy.
Ads in real life don't track you and watch your every move.
Surely inflation can also be caused by a rapid decrease in the quantity of goods e.g. production moved to weaponry in wartime, blockades, natural disasters, strikes, pandemic shutdowns? Same money, chasing fewer goods.
Speeders and drunk drivers don't overwhelm hospital capacity because there aren't enough of them, and the injuries they cause are usually physical trauma that usual doesn't require as much resources to treat as does COVID.

Obese people don't overwhelm hospital capacity because it is highly variable how long it takes for obesity to result in something that puts you in the hospital. Moderately obese people lose on average about 3 years of life. As far as hospital capacity goes the impact is that the people handling long term capacity planning have to change their forecasts to call for a little more capacity a little sooner.
Can you not use network namespaces on Linux to give a process its own restricted network device and then filter that traffic?
I didn't say free stuff FROM private companies.

There's a lot of free stuff in the world, and if governments don't distribute it, then it will be captured (not distributed!) by a plutocratic elite.
> Those are particularly inconvenient paths to blame on "anti-vaxxers".

Why would one feel the need to blame anti-vaxxers for new strains?

> We were all always going to get Covid whether we liked to or not.

That’s not the point of vaccinations. The point of vaccination is to delay and spread out infection peaks as well as make infections as manageable as possible.
> They reduce the time during which you are infectious, and the amount of the virus in your system that you output during that time.

> A total of 978 specimens were provided by 95 participants, of whom 78 (82%) were fully vaccinated and 17 (18%) were not fully vaccinated. No significant differences were detected in duration of RT-PCR positivity among fully vaccinated participants (median: 13 days) versus those not fully vaccinated (median: 13 days; p=0.50), or in duration of culture positivity (medians: 5 days and 5 days; p=0.29).

They probably should choose a smaller area to make this useful (for somebody).

I started reading the following a couple of nights back. Might give you some help if you haven't already seen it:

Hear, hear. I've said at work that many, perhaps most, of the security issues I've seen are at least related to ambient authority. I never see these major issues trigger any deeper thinking about the issues beyond the relatively shallow bug causing the vulnerability.

(A subtlety here is that you may want authority to write to a network filesystem.)
You have the resume for sure.

Have you worked on your social/emotional intelligence/interviewing skills?
> The domain is complex, and customers try to find solutions just like the PM. But, as a PM you have the benefit of talking to many customers so you see common patterns and can often see the ‘problem behind the problem’.

I agree to most of this. The team - by virtue of building and operating the software product catering for many customers - can often understand the customer usecases and solution better than any one customer. But it is the team, as a whole, where this expertise resides. Not one member of the team who happens to have a particular role and title.

> I do not see the link to the true Scotsman argument

By adding the word "effective" in:

> effective PMs know better what customers want than customers themselves.

you seemed to imply that any counterexample of a PM who is not doing this as not a true effective PM, and hence, not worth discussing.

you are right, but maybe if they asked me "whats your best area"? and then asked me to do something imaginative in that area then perhaps that would reveal more of a developer's talent than mere algorithm testing...??
>"if you're developing a missile guidance system"

And what if I am developing a generic guidance system and somehow figured out the way to do everything with 1mm precision? It has immense value for civil use. Same for military. I would have very good explanation on how I intend to use it for peaceful purpose.
Gold is better hedge if your currency is in freefall such as in Turkey. Not so great for Americans, when the US dollar is the global unit of wealth.
But that's not at all the case in practice. Logging is intertwined with other program functionality.
MacOS is an Apple GUI built on top of a BSD foundation. That works out better and cheaper for Apple, as the BSD foundation is open-source and maintained by thousands of developers. Apple merely has to supply a few hundreds of developers to construct and maintain their GUI desktop.

Many of us have suggested that Microsoft also 'do an Apple' and construct the Windows desktop over a BSD or Linux foundation. It would be cheaper for them, and they could concentrate all their developers on producing a really good consistent Windows instead of the rather spotty, uneven productions they have released over the years.

Frankly, people who buy into anti-vaxx ideology are victims of mass propaganda campaigns. And all of us suffer because of those mass propaganda campaigns.

I really don’t get why big companies buying ads are apparently morally trapped in 1950.

Nobody who was actually going to buy your product is going to care if it appears alongside someone saying “oh shit! Cool!” But we consistently get policies that punish people just for saying simple words, like YouTube apparently demonetizing anything with “foul language” in the titles/first minute or so of the video.

Most people also won’t care if a portion of the website has boobs or something. 99.999% of people won’t decide to never again purchase your soda because it advertised on a site that had a bare nipple on a certain subsection of that site. But policies are enforced like this is true, and it ends up killing platforms once they reach a size mainstream enough to sell fast food and soda ads.

Anecdotal data points are meaningless in systems as complex and dynamic as weather.
What I'm thinking is that you need code/module ownership. Every module should have an owner, who is its maintainer. Only that way maintainers get credit for doing great maintenance including providing good documentation. If everybody can "maintain" a piece of code nobody is really responsible for it and nobody really gets credit or blame because everybody does.
