Same here. Also, such games would certainly benefit from single-hand operation in mind. I'd prefer UP for rotation, DOWN for drop, and, maybe, PgUP/DN for L/R rotation, END for hold. And similarly on the WASD side of the keyboard, so either hand may be used optionally. Or even for one-keyboard multiplayer. )
I use asserts in python in a similar manner to the way you used types in C. Combined with tests it's a highly flexible way of "locking down" behaviors that should be impossible.
Dismissing things that are necessary because they aren't sufficient is a recipe for failure.
I’ve been in this situation (worked too long on something without syncing with others). But I’ve also been on the opposite side. Some of my biggest accomplishments in my career, where I really added value, were when I went deep on my own and figured something out.

Think of software design as a space with dimensions. You’re trying to optimize for something over that space. Development is ideally a series of incremental steps toward the optimum. The daily standup is where you check in and make sure your last incremental step was in the right direction. Generic developer of level N can make those steps. But what if you are stuck in a local minimum? How are you and your teammates going to find what is over that next mountain unless someone goes out there and brings enough provisions to spend the night? There’s gold in them there hills.
Nobody is censored here ... Spotify decided that they don't want to distribute them anymore.
Rogan can say what he wants.
Even the missing episodes are still on archive.org and other places.

Is a movie/show season is no longer listed on Netflix because of some rights issues also censoring in your opinion?

There are some albums not visible in some countries on Spotify. For the longest time, i could not listen to the metal versions of Ghibli songs in Japan (they are offline, online several times already, potentially due to rights issues):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXB35-cYVMU&list=PLmsGXAySkD...

My spotify playlist was suddenly empty /filled again.

Is that censorship?

As a result, I payed for the albums and canceled my spotify account.

> Based on her research, people from wealthier families are more likely to be employed in jobs that speak to their passions and are stable, compared with people from less wealthy backgrounds.

Growing up, I had no access to computer. I only came across computer when I went to university. Then during job search, there would be some company asking you, "oh we are looking for people who are passionate coder from the age of 6". Well too bad, I didn't know about the existence of computer at the age of 6.
I'm very interested in this topic, having authored several such tools.
Some remarks after a first glance at the README, it's very possible I missed some obvious answers and I apologize in advance:

- You ask for a review on your site but that just links to the github project page. Have you done a show-hn by the way?

- I believe schema representation and encoding should be two separate things; In other words, a good data manipulation tool should support several schema formats and several encoding formats

- I personalty prefer the types to be a little less opinionated (for instance, there are many legitimate definitions for a "date" so I do not want the data layer to favor one over the others, although I reckon having some support for dates is convenient) - having a type for markup is particularly suspicious.

- You do not mention extensibility in the features list, which is a very important topic when a data format is used for RPCs in a distributed system, for instance

- Are strings UTF-8? UTF-8 only?

- Why do you need specific types for edges and nodes?

- No type for records/structures apart from the top-level one??

- No sum types? How do you handle nulls?

- Lists are of heterogeneous types? Can we have a type for "lists of some type"

- How come comments ended up being types?

- The front-page should display a comparison in encoding and decoding speed and encoded size compared to the major contenders (which are protobuf and json, I guess)

- It should also display the corresponding go code for each presented schema examples
While I agree that a conviction is much better than nothing, I don't share your faith in the accuracy of our criminal justice system, especially if a plea bargain (aka blackmail) was involved at any stage of the process, whether for the convicted, or for any of the witnesses. Additionally, prosecutorial discretion is a pox on the fairness of justice - but we have so many laws on the books that removing prosecutorial discretion is entirely unreasonable. And then there's the questionable quality of judges exacerbated by the fact that many are explicitly elected (i.e. picked for politics not competence), or political appointees without an appointment process that itself has any reasonable checks, and finally that they are large unaccountable; judicial misconduct appears to be worryingly common, whistleblowers are often at the mercy of judges or their pals, and the process to evaluate claims of misconduct is much too cosy and insufficiently guards against influence by the perpetrator and their friends, and punishments are laughable lax compared to the consequences such misconduct might have for victims thereof.

Of course, at least judges are human and many will therefore be honest and try to do their best despite the system they work in, but it's still a pretty flimsy basis for trust.
Tennessee Book Burning (Incl. Harry Potter, Twilight)
I don't really understand why anyone who claims to be a proponent of a free market economy has an issue with a private corporation deciding what type of content they want to broadcast.

JR sold his catalog of intellectual property (podcast episodes) of his own free will and was paid very well for it: about $100M from what I can gather. What Spotify chooses to do with it is completely up to them, even if they bought it with the express intention of "burning" it all, i.e. never broadcasting it, that would still not be censorship. That would be nothing but exercising their intellectual property rights, that they paid for, just like buying the rights to a song that you hate to stop that specific recording from ever being played again is within your right, or even negotiating with the artist to never play it again.

He signed a "multi-year" exclusive deal (the details are fuzzy, for obvious reasons) which means he sold his trademark and time for money, which is how the market works.

Exactly what he sold (NDA, limitations on his speech in his free time etc.) we'll probably never know, but whoever calls this "censorship" needs a reality check. There exists plenty of proper censorship in the world if you look for it, and this isn't it.
Apparently Stadia is shortly going to be the new member on the list, as most of us expected.

Sword and Shield at least have the Wild Zone where you can get 'xp candies' that make the grind a lot more bearable.
Yeah, definitely a user-hostile experience. You can see this dark pattern everywhere. Amazon hides items that are out of stock by default, which is especially annoying if you attempt grocery shopping on Amazon Fresh.

If I can boil it down to a UX maxim, it would go something like, "The absence of a positive is no substitute for a negative".
Only the first of those missions was to fix the flaw. The others were to install various upgrades. And all this was only possible because Hubble was in LEO. If JWST fails it’s game over.
They do reduce the chance of transmission. Vaccinated people have a lower viral load when infected.

And even if there was no difference it would still make sense to me. There's likely a large overlap between anti-vaxxers and people who don't like adhering to safety measures.
Public taste is unpredictable. Podcasting success depends on so many little factors going right. I imagine it's like a developer doing freelance work. Inevitably they have to spend time managing the flow of work instead of actually developing. Getting money from Spotify probably meant "Hey, we don't need this whole folder of spreadsheets anymore. Let's redirect that effort toward a better production!"

If it's general enough and durable enough (like not having to replace a chip / filter every time it's used), I don't think it's hyperbole to think of the possible applications more broadly.

Would be a step toward the ol' Star-Trek tricorder. They say it can detect various organic molecules. I wonder if it has potential for non-invasive blood testing, e.g. blood glucose. If it is general purpose, could it indicate other potential health conditions? More broadly could you scan your drink at the bar for illicit substances? Would it detect noxious gasses in your vicinity?

Definitely feels like a decent step in that direction.
I did not read all of your links, but as far as I can tell there were 2 incidents (one in Georgia and one in Michigan) that you keep posting over and over again. Is that right?
That is not quite true. JS can read the clipboard on any direct user interaction using "Document.execCommand". Also, there is a newer Clipboard API that requires explicit user permission, but as far as I understand once it is given it allows arbitrary reads.
I feel like the US is getting ever more divided with parts of the country becoming more liberal (typically the people that profit from the current system) and other parts becoming ever more conservative (typically the rural areas).

I remember seeing a Gallup poll a while ago that almost 50% of Americans still believe that a couple getting pregnant without getting married first is morally wrong. That's certainly very far away from the 60s with hippies and free love.

Giving attendants the power to put a passenger on a no-fly list is a big mistake. Attendants are difficult to deal with, disgruntled, and very capable of punishing passengers who legitimately disagree with them.
Dunno, my experience with large companies is that there is a lot of office politics, some are making overtures for career advancement by short-sighted but ostensibly profitable changes they hope will be noticed by higher-ups, others want to protect their fiefdom by sabotaging and delaying up-and-comers.

Most everyone is looking at their paycheck and status, not the bottom line.
I think you’re misinterpreting the nature of the Russian regimes. Even the current one.

After 1991, a lot of illegitimate fortunes built up, controlling important parts of different industries but also weapons, including nuclear ones.

Even with the govt power and the brutal nature of the regime, they had hard times to make the oligarchs yield to his wishes.

History will certainly say that somewhat Putin was a necessity before the country’s dislocation threat.

I've been looking into alternative search workflows.

Google (and near equivalents) feel a bit like Windows GUI when I want Linux cli for a) quickly going to a site I already know, b) answering a question when I have a bias about where good answers will be found, c) picking one thing from a long list

I feel there's already an equivalent with a few rough edges but a power tool I can be productive with.

Any product that aims at Google's entire market is only going to turn into Google, I need an ecosystem of tools so there will always be one that is aimed at my use case.

It feels like there's a common sentiment around this so there may be room for a new business model or open source approach.

One thing is bang searches, like duckduckgo has. So if you already know the site you want to search, and they have decent search then you can use their search directly.

There's an open standard for advertising your local search but it feels a bit forgotten like RSS Vs twitter. You can find lists of sites that advertise this search in the Mycroft project on mozdev.

I think Firefox has a non standard extension for search suggestions too.

If the sites don't have decent search, you can get a site specific search via Google or whatever, but it feels like site specific search for code related things would be a good niche. Like Google, you don't need to own the content, just index it better by adding intelligence from context.

You can even aggregate across a few different sites, like official docs plus official discussion, email archives, a Reddit sub and so on as appropriate. Yes you'll miss the long tail, but you'll have limited the scope so much that there would be a lot for value in exact searches for errors and other similar things.

Possibly language communities could build their own index?

The same for discussion sites seems possible and other general groups of search tasks. Wikipedia is a good target too.

If you built a good one you could then offer it to the sites to use as their internal search too, in a virtuous cycle.

On that note I'm going to go look up what Algolia does in this space.
This is beyond messed up that he has to apologize. In a way for me the message is : "no matter how decent of a person you are, how appropriate the context is, no matter what the target and the subject of conversation was, one wrong word and you will end up having to beg for the apology"

In that way, I respect Ricky Gervais way more and his policy of not apologizing for a joke just because someone got offended. Unless you said it in a totally wrong context and time, then it's the other's person job to figure out context, subject and the target of the joke.
That’s property of the JIT compiler though, not a lack of compilation. You want to keep compiler times low so you only analyse functions on demand (and cache the byte code).

If CPython behaved identical to Javas compiler people would moan about start up times.

Some AOT languages can mimic this behaviour too with hot loading code. Though a lot of them might still perform some syntax analysis first given that’s an expectation. (For what it’s worth, some “scripting languages” can do a complete check on the source inc unused functions. Eg there’s an optional flag to do this in Perl 5).

I will concede things are a lot more nuanced than I perhaps have credit for though.
server side rendering also points you toward more cacheable content. Things you put on a CDN are faster and way cheaper.
Absolutely! I switched back to Google as default, but still search things also with DDG.

So much for me being able to open 100-200 tabs across all windows on my browser without needing more RAM.

Or even using a browser on my older phone without it feeling slow/sluggish or the browser killing the battery life of the device.

To clarify for the downvoters: my point is that it might not matter for the average user for whom the site is optimized, they might be able to tolerate ads, autoplaying videos, popups, incredible waste of resources just to get visually attractive UI etc. and be none the wiser about any of it (possibly not even knowing that things could be different), but it definitely matters for people who want more out of web in regards to usability.

In my eyes, there's little difference between the current state of web and using Electron for desktop applications instead of native solutions, both seem to be driven by financial initiatives and result in a degraded experience, playing directly into Wirth's law and thus making interfacing with computers worse as a whole (though admittedly the state of the web feels more malicious than a team wanting one Electron codebase for multiple platforms).
> So if you check the appendix section, they say they're measuring latency not when the keyswitch makes contact, but when the finger first begins pressing on the key. So they're taking key travel time into account, and that ends up being the majority of the "latency".

The key travel time on https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000U1DJ2/ and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGJALYW is substantially the same, yet one has 20 ms of latency, and the other 55 ms.
Again, even if that was true, and I believe you are conflating profits and revenue here, it has nothing to do with my comment, which was about Apple refusing to make the ecosystem more open because it wouldn’t bring any significant financial profit.

Yes, since the beginning of 2020 I’ve used the MacBook Pro in parks and botanical gardens where there are a lot of particles flying around (after an hour I usually had to wipe the screen to be able to see something).

The keyboard worked perfectly fine.

I haven’t had a chance to test the 2019 Intel MacBook too much, but the M1 2020 was heavily used outdoors. I believe the M1 2020 model was the first one to get the Magic Keyboard mechanism: https://support.apple.com/kb/SP824

The worst impact Rogan has is the normalization of paranoid-conspiratorial logic under the guise of critical thinking. I mean, he's basically primed millions of people to be ready to eagerly accept bullshit.
> The payment processor is not maintaining the ecosystem

There is good historical precedent to believe that this "service" is approximately 0 in value: the Windows desktop market (in its heyday). People were making money selling software to consumers on Windows without Microsoft doing anything to "maintain the ecosystem" other then developing their OS.

So, the approximate value of the service Apple offers to businesses except payment processing, taxes, etc, is 0, which is approximately how much Apple should be paid if someone is using Stripe instead of Apple for payment processing.
I wonder if a big part of the allleged theft from the little guy isn't due to dishonest CPI statistics that manipulate officially reported inflation to be lower than the cost of living increases most people experience.

Also perhaps fractional reserve banking does create the issue thatp those who can borrow money and buy assers have an advantage over those at the bottom who strugglle to buy assets and cannot borrow.

I am certainly a fan of modern day capitalism compared to socialist redistribution, but a lot can maybe be fixed with "honest" money of some sort that is not easy to inflate at will. (Algorithmic money perhaps like a carefully designed crypto or some variation of gold backing)

The challenge with honest money, is you cannot really control monetary policy (the free market will set interest rates) , but the benefit is, nobody can debase it too easily.

i. e. no bailing out wallstreet during recessions, but also if you gonna bailout consumers with stimmies they will pay for it later in higher taxes.

Is access to airplanes necessary for that right? I don't think so, the existence of a no-fly list wouldn't be consistent with that either.
I use uBlock for my laptop browser, and Safari content blocking on my phone, and have looked into stuff at the router level. I don't disable ad-blocking for any site.

The issue is primarily with mobile apps, which don't support ad-blockers and serve ads from their domains. I just found out about Nitter the other day, and didn't realize that you could now use Instagram/DMs from a web browser instead of using the app, so I will try that going forward.

This possibly affects things like YouTube recommendations too, not ads - I use it logged out and mostly search for music but if right now I open the site my top recommendation is a meme video "no amount of therapy will make this scene ok". I don't see any cookies and am not sure how to reset whatever session id for a fresh start.
That used to be the case, but modern game engines like Unity make it easy to plop out an switch-capable version. The hardware is similar enough to a normal PC that it’s a matter of just turning the graphics down (way, way down). It certainly wasn’t a majority at the start but now more than half of new AAA releases have a Switch version.

That said, buying a switch to play AAA games is not ideal. I find the graphics compromises too great, myself. Indie games (only certain genres like platforming), visual novels and Nintendo-first-party games are what I find the switch excels at.
In academia, things were different. Science didn't really get like this until tenure became hyper-competitive. In the early days of the British tradition, science was a leisurely task by nobles. After WWII, academia was expanding rapidly, and there was a shortage of professors. Academic jobs were easy to come by.

The strong incentives to cheat is very new in academia. I've seen academia for about a quarter-century, and at least MIT went from a pretty honest place to a shark tank full of crooks.

That's not a general "the world was once better," but a very specific "academic fraud has grown out-of-control in the past 25 years."

No idea. We released a new Windows version around the same time which introduced DXVA support and sales overall went up. So if Apple users left, they were overcompensated by additional Windows users.
The hippies were a tiny minority in the 60s with an outsized cultural influence and legacy, especially in hindsight.

You cannot compare 50% holding "traditional values" (for lack of a better word) today with an unrealistic view of how the 60s have supposedly been. It's pretty certain that back then even more people than 50% held that view.
