Indeed!

The largest problem I will be tackling is simulating (to the best extent possible) an economy. One thing I liked (and made a lot of sense, at least to me) in SimCity 2000 is that the first demand you had to fulfill was industry. So the player will choose an industry to build their city around (though they'll be able to diversify any time. The price for that is possibly losing their edge in said industry).

One of the goals in the game is cashflow. Each service/industry/utility (SIU) that is outsourced is lost tax revenue for the city. For example, a new map will contain national power lines running through it. You'll have to tap into those for power initially. This means your citizens will pay a higher price for electricity, which limits tax revenue in two ways:

1.) You're not taxing the profits of the power plant

2.) You're citizens have less money to spend, thus the businesses in your city have smaller profits to tax.

Now iterate that math for every SIU required (which depends on city size).

To counter this, the player starts by owning all the land, so the city's initial revenue is from property sales. As the city grows, land value goes up. (Fun point, once the land is sold, its permanent until you can afford a great lawyer on your board to win an eminent domain case).

Over time the city will grow and more SIU's will be localized, increasing the cash flow of the city (more tax income). But, to attract/retain talent (thus have larger corporations), the city needs to spend this cash on services to make the city a desirable place to live. I think some fun side goals would be, for example, attracting the best chefs, artists, musicians, that are available, and have them e.g. open a restaurant in your city.

So, the macro scale is competing against other cities (both for talent and services/industries). I could say the winning condition is to be at the apex in every industry in the game, though that will likely be impossible, and I dont plan on having any real win condition.

I haven't sat down and mapped out how to simulate the competition (other cities), but I dont see a need to simulate each city at the micro level. I believe DF takes a similar approach. If anything, an infrequent mass calculation could determine who moves where and why, and to compare business competition. Im using SQL for storing game data to take advantage of what it does best, so this should be relatively easy.
> With my QuietComfort 35 sometimes the A2DP profile is not negotiated and it falls back to HSP/HFP which sounds like a landline in the 90s. Then you have to disconnect/reconnect it and hope it works this time.

This happens to my AirPods2. Very annoying, like a $5 pair of headphones.
This implies that the manufacturers had a decent grasp of "where things would go," and I think that couldn't be further from the truth? All the good (or at least interesting) stuff came from "hackers," aka the scratching DJs, the guys who had to scrape for beat machines, etc. etc. Limitations being the inspiration and all that.
Eh, there are upsides to this. Litigation funds (which invest to buy speculative chunks of 'promising' lawsuits) do enable people to sue large companies when they otherwise wouldn't have had the wherewithal. That said, it's likely a net negative, I agree.
Unfortunately, you are correct. Nepotism has always been the key to professional success
The take-away from COVID is that humanity adapts, the outliers are the minority. Politics is required for a stable environment, but not every politician is as good as you'd wish.

The difference now with the past is that everything is connected. We have seen that we "absorbed" it much better/ flexible than what I anticipated. Still getting bad news through the web immediately is not something we had time to adapt to before.

Is it perfect, no. Are there issues, sure! Humanity adapts, bad news actually makes prepares us more and makes us find a solution.

I'm not worried about an apocalypse. The only thing that I'm worried about is the growth of human population since 1960 actually.

But we'll adapt.

Just like all other crisis that were the end of the world before.

And don't forget, humanity had to go through a lot of shit to get where we are now.

This is probably more complicated than it sounds.

What consists of "not used" or "fairly licensed"? Who decides this, and how do those definitions evolve over time? Like most legal frameworks they would likely lag behind the reality of the times they are applied to...

I'm all for trying to prevent abuses and patent trolls and the like, but it's not as easy to solve as it might seem.
That's what wage work does to creativity.

When I have a question or feel curious about something, I write it down. I'll then try to seed an app around the idea when I can. I have a bunch of little sandcastles I mess with stochastically.

I really hate taking solutions from others. I'm perpetually yak shaving. I don't care though. I'm coding to satisfy my requirements. I don't usually intend to show people these things, but some will probably make me a millionaire soon. That means I'm intentional about reflective and deliberate practice to avoid ruts and inefficiencies and to continue improving.

Here are some ideas:
- Build a parser for a language you don't know yet

- Create a vscode plugin that helps you code more in line with how you think about code

- Play with huggingface API's

- Browse through Show HN's and pick an idea to clone

- Screen record your phone or computer usage and try to spot inefficiencies. Is there a way to address that with code?

I am unsure how people grow in this industry by just relying on pre-concocted guides/tutorials/patterns. There's a superpower in code. It's ok to flex it, even if it's just for your own amusement.
i grew up in a big city. great place to grow up. so glad my parents didn't move out to the suburbs. One size doesn't fit all

Ask HN: What do you use to power search for a static site?
I want to add search to my company's API docs, which is a static HTML website. I originally wanted to use Algolia's DocSearch after seeing it in action at Fathom [0], but I applied for access and according to my rejection letter, it's apparently only available for open source projects (yet I know of more than a few businesses using it... weird.)

Then I looked into using Algolia's main product, but I couldn't figure out how to set it up. Very poor onboarding experience. I got frustrated with the constant paywalls just trying to piece together how the product would work -- "request access to Crawlers", "contact us to learn more." At this point, I'm not even sure if Algolia supports static sites.

What I'd love is to have an automated crawler peel through my site and automatically create an index, and then give me a library that I can use to include a search bar on my site.

I want to pay for a quality product. I do not want to self-host or manage my own index.

Are there any alternatives for static sites? What do you use?

"Truth" and "rings true in your experience" aren't necessarily overlapping values.

Sure, it's a confrontational response, because I've seen too many solid, empathetic, capable individuals run out of tech by toxic gatekeeping bullshit just like this.

Then all I'm left to manage and work with are toxic, self-aggrandizing, "um akshually" engineers who rate appearing smarter than others over working well with others and getting things done.
Restarting my career in tech, I loves troubleshooting (aka going down rabbit holes), have good communication skills, quick learner, ready to hit the ground running and looking for growth opportunities.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Funny Story:

A recruiter sent me a detail post about a job. I wrote back and said I was interested. He never responded so I applied to the job online and got it.

4 months later he messages me and says sorry but it looks like the position has been removed.

I didn't write back.

> Again no one appreciate the work that was done on 3GPP, nor are they willing to pay much for it.

Ideally, you would have governments spend tax money on universities and national standardization bodies to do the R&D and publication of open standards, and then both companies and private efforts can openly use these standards to develop products against, with clearly defined interfaces and interoperability expectations.

Will you be opening up any Canada positions? I would love to be able to apply in say a year.
The article's methods are actually quite good. You should ignore most of the recruiter contacts - if the recruiter approaches you for a job that is clearly not a fit for your background, I'd dismiss that person as either not respectful of your time or incompetent, and both are good reasons to ignore that person down the road.

If you're getting a fair amount of incoming traffic, you're already optimized for discovery, so that is working. Telling recruiters "I'm only looking for jobs that fit these parameters" and then paying attention to the ones that are respectful of that will work to start a relationship. I had some relationships for the entire 20 years I was in the business, and some of those people I didn't make a dime off for maybe 15 of those years.

Even in British English usage as an abstract mass noun with singular verbs is acceptable (possibly even the norm[1]).

Usage as a plural noun is an Economist house style choice[2].

It's hard to tell how well the Economist sticks to that style choice. A Google site: search, with a date range of the last 10 years, shows no usage of "datum" (except for the article about the subject).

An Google site: search for usages of "data is" in the last 10 years returns plenty of results.

I had a quick look, the implementation is interesting

Node uses undici JS library. Undici includes a C HTTP parser that is used via webassembly. The parser is generated from rules that are implemented in JS/TS using llparse framework.

A native C binary there in the middle is quite surprising.
maybe something like this?

CockroachDB is not a fork of Postgres, it's a NewSQL database written from scratch, compatible with the PostgreSQL protocol, and aiming at being SQL compatible with Postgres.

I think you were thinking about YugabyteDB which is a wrapper/fork around Postgres.
I agree with you, which makes me think that there's a misconception here. That seems completely insane, you can't predict the weather, especially say if you've parked at the airport for 2 weeks.

Looking at the current Tesla warrenty: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/downloads/tesla-ne...

I think your info might be just out of date. I don't see any references to specific temps, just normal don't be dumb stuff (like exposing the battery to a fire)

I did find this from 2014 though: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/battery-warranty-and...

This says the warranty at the time said:

• Exposing the vehicle to ambient temperatures above 140°F
(60°C) or below -22°F (-30°C) for more than 24 hours at a time”

So it sounds like they took it out eventually?

I'm working solo on https://flat.social - a fun videoconferencing app for remote teams to organise social events.

I'd be very happy to schedule a couple hours for some conceptual collaboration and to catch up with other makers to see if we can help each other in any way. I'm thinking occasional brainstorming, feedback sessions and exchange of advice coming from different domains of expertise. You can pick my brain in anything that's related to your project and vice versa.

My background is technical so I'd be mostly looking to speak with people who come from business, marketing and design side of things.

News articles are not typically written like formulaic school essays where you state a thesis, support the thesis, and then conclude. They are instead written as if the reader could be whisked away at any moment and so the most important information must be front and center. Less relevant asides get tacked on the end. It's written to be read by busy people, in other words. Which is actually pretty cool.
I highly recommend using a Google Voice number for recruiters for just such a reason.

I keep all my interviewing data isolated from my private data.

I would buy a framework in a heartbeat if they add a decent hz display and a few other comfort features I'm accustomed to from running linux on a long line of Razer and the Asus G-series of gaming laptops. 120hz and a 1650ti would make this thing amazing and wouldn't push the price point very far at all (especially if it's optional).

Be a company that promotes from within. Lots of people on HN will vehemently claim that promoting from within is an anti-pattern. But if you don't promote from within, you turn into the kind of place where the more an employee strengthens a skillset, the more undervalued they feel. That kind of resentment leads to an environment that either stunts employees or makes them act contrary to company interests. Both of those are dysfunctional outcomes.
