I miss Perl and it’s community from the early-mid 2000s. Sure it was bad for those who have to maintain but trying to create the shorted and most unreadable possible was a fun pastime.
I spent a good number of years doing similar. Back in day with Blender, Microsoft XNA. I did a bunch of work on shaders, modeling concept art, linear algebra, C# and then had reached demo stage where my main vehicles were interacting in a physics engine I had essentially coding using 3d models with basic art I put together.

At that point I realized I needed marketing, business/legal framework, and more importantly distribution. I didn't even own an XBox, why am I targeting it? I decided to start over with LibGDX with primary platform being Android which was exploding - and the rest is history. Off and on 3-4 years down the drain I suppose.

My advice to anyone considering this is do a minimal indie game compo. Set the bar as low as possible so that you get a feel for all of these important pieces of actually producing a game from start to finish.

I still think my concept is sound, and I have 1 other idea I'd love to work on, but there's no time now that I'm old and with a family. My interests have pivoted back to music which is more quickly gratifying and easier to share. It doesn't help that the gaming community is a toxic user base in my experience.

Finally, what does it even mean to make a game these days. It seems all people care about are in game items, markets to trade them etc. Nothing fun about that for me at all.
I think this talk is an excellent 'foot in the door' intro.

Should provide a solid foundation, and plenty of insider jargon to follow up on!

I work out every day after work. I've noticed there's no relationship between 'metal exhaustion' and being too physically exhausted to workout. It doesn't matter how "tough" your day was. It has no real impact on your physical ability there, and you will not feel as "tired" when you leave.

Re: Truman wanted to drop the bombs.

> At the time, the president seemed conflicted over his decision. The day after the Hiroshima bomb was dropped, Truman received a telegram from Senator Richard B. Russell of Georgia, encouraging the president to use as many atomic bombs as possible on Japan, claiming the American people believed “that we should continue to strike the Japanese until they are brought groveling to their knees.” Truman responded, “I know that Japan is a terribly cruel and uncivilized nation in warfare but I can't bring myself to believe that because they are beasts, we should ourselves act in that same manner. For myself I certainly regret the necessity of wiping out whole populations because of the ‘pigheadedness’ of the leaders of a nation, and, for your information, I am not going to do it unless absolutely necessary.”

...

> Looking back, President Truman never shirked personal responsibility for his decision, but neither did he apologize. He asserted that he would not use the bomb in later conflicts, such as Korea. Nevertheless, given the same circumstances and choices that confronted him in Japan in 1945, he said he would do exactly the same thing.

Two years ago for SDE2 the first year comp was ~260k + 5% of RSU's at end of first year, second year was ~250k + 15% of RSU's.

That's due to cash bonus (base was around 180k). 3rd and 4th years no bonus, but 40/40 RSU vests.
I think people misunderstand this change. Previously it was up to $160K base + the rest stock/bonus. As the stock has been somewhat static lately, they've just rebalanced to more salary, less stock. The net is about the same assuming recent stock appreciation.

If your threat model is 'person in proximity of other person being able to access the second factor' then no method of 2FA is safe. Even if you use U2F, the "soon to be ex-spouses" can easily take the dongle from their spouse's keychain, in fact even easier than they could get their OTP codes.
Hey, I get it - the pandemic has been very hard and very frustrating.

Yes, Google and Disney are bad companies.
This is incorrect on a number of fronts:
1) The Japanese surrender was unconditional. The emperor's positions as very much at Douglas Macarthurs will. (And this was made clear before the surrender).
2) There was no move to cut the soviets out. Stalin immediately became paranoid (as he often did) and moved up his time frame once it became clear (before Trinity) that the USA would have the bomb soon.
3) Truman never decided any such thing - in fact, he announced ("with glee" according to the reporters present) that Stalin had entered the war. This narrative comes from Hasegawa's book, and it's completely incorrect.

You are the one who came in here and disputed my claim (and those of others as well) without a single shred of evidence. You still refuse to substantiate your disagreement.

Nobody is disputing Moore's Law (and this is the first time you've brought it up!). The dispute is around whether people still experience slowdowns and other bad experiences as a result of excessive memory consumption relative to resources, despite Moore's Law. I and several other people have told you right here that they have, and you refuse to acknowledge our collective experience largely because you personally haven't shared this experience.

My ego isn't bruised. But I and others reasonably expect significantly more than a "drive-by" non-substantive negation of a claim that comes directly from personal and professional experience (i.e., gaslighting) -- especially on Hacker News, where the audience is supposed to be largely composed of mathematicians, scientists, and others who possess better-than-average ability to think deeply, logically, and in a nuanced fashion.

Wasnt me, I assumed I cannot edit my posts in relation to the downvote karma threshold thing. Like so I needed to prove my worth or something. I stand by my posts even if I was wrong. Just like I just was with my recent post about the definition of vaccine. I am wrong in my post. My brain definition of vaccine certainly included 'prevents infection' factor.

It's probably a problem on my end. I was missing the reply link when trying to reply to prohobo but now see it there. I cannot explain.

This post however was indeed fairly charged/hot post about social movements, the requirement to stay nonviolent, comments over the democratic party, trump, etc. I expected to take heat. I provided a link criticizing the democrats over their inaction of resolving an obvious problem in the USA. My post did take heat quite rapidly in that one.

I dont personally believe my comments were flamebait or trolling. I cannot see my original post any longer, maybe I did go over the line. So be it. Not to get religious, but:

432 vs 440, independently of any unit, makes the math easier.

432Hz vs 440Hz, obviously, is two pitches that form an audible interval.

But 432 can be a valuable explaining tool. Just don't read it as Hz, but Hz' (prime), cycles per s', such that 432Hz' = 440Hz.

That's about as far as I'm willing to defend 432.
Believe me, C# 10, Java 17 and Python 3.7, including standard library and runtimes across 25 - 30 years, have plenty of question material.
Personally, I think that’s fine iff it is applied consistently. If someone only calls trans people “they” but then goes on to use gendered pronouns for cis folks, that’s definitely a form of hostility.
Interesting, I've never heard Type IV before. I've always heard the more succinct definition: Type I -- fun now, fun later, Type II -- not fun now, fun later, Type III -- not fun now, not fun ever. But now that you mention it, the fun classification is obviously just a 2x2 truth table:

fun now?
+------------+------------+
| Y | N |
+-----+------------+------------+
fun | Y | Type I | Type II |
|-----+------------+------------+
later? | N | Type IV | Type III |
+-----+------------+------------+

RBAC is simple to get started with, but indeed pretty limited. We tend to use the term because it's more recognizable than ABAC or ReBAC.

The {subject,relation,object} tuples do provide a convenient way to express an ACL-based system.

Most real-world systems we've encountered tend to have a combination of user-centric and resource-centric aspects to them. With an ABAC-style policy, you can easily enforce relationships like "user X can edit objects in project Y, and can read objects in project Z". In fact, the Aserto policy for Aserto [1] uses this style of authorization, without going "full-tuple".

In fact, for many use-cases, the prospect of creating an ACL for every resource feels like a management nightmare for the folks we've talked to, and they typically have a "resource group" construct or hierarchy that they want to treat the same from an authorization perspective.

Finally, in addition to the user model, Aserto has a resource model, and we're exploring evolving it more towards the tuple approach.

CIE L*C*h is based on either CIE 1976 L*a*b* or CIE 1976 L*u*v*, it's just a different representation. <--for formatting or the asterisks vanish.

For displays you're incrementally better off using LChuv. But note that these are very rudimentary color appearance models compared to CIECAM02 and newer, where surrounding color and ambient light can be taken into account. For a given color, surrounding it with two different colors will produce a different color appearance for that given color, i.e. a spot measurement of the given color will of course be the same, but the color in context will be different. It's a feature of human vision. Simultaneous contract, Bezold effect, and so on.

But without display compensation (mapping the CIE color created for given RGB value, such that a color management system can alter the RGB sent to the display in order to preserve color appearance) you will still have the experience of getting a different color for a given encoding on different displays.

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? In any case, these are better than HSL and HSV representations.

> Love is chemicals & emotions

No, love is not chemicals & emotions but the state of chemicals & emotions that is cause-effect for inter-human attraction/stable togetherness.

Wow! IMAGINE THINKING LOVE EVOLVED at some point in time. There are other issues as well.

To start off if I defined love minimally as that which is the cause of attraction then,

---
What is the cause of attraction between poles of a magnet?
* Using the socratic method, the concept of an "ideal North Pole" is inseparable from the "ideal South Pole", their togetherness is eternal and when they are not together they are attracted to be together, when they are together it is sustainable, so much so that the reason for their creation is for the other to exist.

Why do they behave so though? Because they are "circular". No they are not circular jk but because they have a "natural configuration" or simply put its their "nature". Nature of circles is to roll, similarly, what is an object that has nature is to be attracted to this subject.
---

Love itself, is eternal, and has no origin. It is name for a "thing"(conceptual, abstract, but a noun), like a circle.

We say one's mind is in prayer but technically whole of their "natural configuration" is praying. Similarly, we say someone's body is in the game, but their whole self is involved. Similarly thus, heart is in love but their "whole configuration" is in the act of active loving, during their existence.

At the very least it must NOT be taken for granted that a common subset of such configuration exists for all humans. Nature of their lover is subjective to lovers.

Furthermore, to end, when you study the properties of theos and of love, they turn out to be same 'things'; god is love and love is god.

There's another factor in the equation that you're not considering. "How much battery storage". The equation is finding an optima on a(cost of nuclear) + b(cost of renewables) + c(cost of storage). Restricting the equation to just aN + c_NS vs bR + c_RS is rather absurd (only something laypeople do and not something people in the energy community do). But in that case we can easily see that c_N << c_R, since nuclear provides a baseline storage. This brings us back to using the systems to complement one another (aN + bR + cS). After all, the goal is to get zero emission energy at the cheapest value, not energy at the cheapest value.

I got several emails over the years, like normally once a year or so. Late last year I got 3 in the span of ~4 months or so. Ignored them for multiple reasons, main one being that they don't have an office in my country and I'd have to relocate, which is practically impossible for a number of reasons.
I have commits in the Servo project, I know what it is. Probably better than you do.

The parts of Servo that could easily be integrated in Firefox are already integrated into Firefox. The remaining parts, like the layout engine for example, had a lot of design flaws and they were in the early stages of completely rewriting it when the project was cancelled.

https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Layout-2020

So when you say "may have been", that needs to be read with the understanding that it literally would have been years before that investment _might_ pay off, and that's a hard sell when everyone is screaming that Firefox ought to be improved now.

I'm disappointed about it nonetheless though, it was a fun and welcoming project for outsiders. And I thought that Pathfinder was pretty close to being usable, so that's disappointing too.
Yeah I've been thinking about learning Rust, but I've been 100% javascript the last 10 years.
That's because HN's software replaces URLs with canonical URLs when it finds one, and the submitted page includes https://orbitalindex.com/archive/2022-02-16-Issue-156/ as a canonical URL.

In this case, though, the author's own source is more in keeping with the HN guidelines ("Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.") so I've replaced the URL above with that one. Thanks!

My son did a project in his senior year of high school using Unreal and I volunteered to help, figuring that 25 years in tech would be enough for me to get up to speed relatively quickly. I soon discovered that Unreal - and more generally, the entire video game industry - is a whole alternative universe of tech.

Example: On the Unreal site there are official "code" "documentation" examples which are simply screenshots of a "blueprint", which you need to recreate yourself by navigating all the menus and drawing all the various input and outputs manually. YouTube tutorials are 10 minutes of a guy trying to find where some property setting is and connecting dots in order to pass a single value from one object to another. How this "code" is tracked under the hood, I never found out. Versioning must be a nightmare.

Anyways, yeah, I'm not surprised your average dev throws up their hands eventually.
Throwing all our radioactive waste into space seems like a shortsighted waste of a non-renewable resource. Once humans pull it out of the ground there isn't a natural process on Earth to create more.

With the run up of FANG-sector stock prices, lots of people have new found economic freedom and can pursue roles they are passionate about. Combined with the huge jump in tech salaries that has persisted for the past 10 years, you have a lot of people taking stock of their life during COVID and rearranging their priorities. Lots of people in my social circle in tech have left their FANG roles to pursue smaller passion projects.

Its very hard to hear this with sine waves.

Sine waves work to visualize the concepts but real instrument notes almost always are better modeled as a large number of sine waves with a mathematical relationship that sound simultaneously and in varying amplitudes that combine to create the timbre of the note.

Then when those notes sound together we get combinations of all those sine waves together to create a very complex wave that sounds a certain way to our ear based on the interactions between all of these waves at once.

So to visualize it or reason about it, my comment here makes sense:

But to hear it you would be much better off with triangle or sawtooth waves or samples of actual musical instruments.
Oh I get that, and agree! But despite that it still feels like a honeypot, centralizing every user's most important security info in one cloud service (read: honeypot). At least with Dropbox/iCloud sync you're relying on the same e2e encrypted setup but in a less centralized service (for example, if there's some bug in the e2e encryption someone would need to take advantage of that AND iCloud's encryption and target users using the combination).
> A lot of environmentalists just don't like rural people so they do things like rail on and on about pickup trucks

What? I don't think there are many environmentalists who "don't like rural people" and have a problem with pickup trucks used where they're appropriate ( like on a farm). In a country like the US, they're often abused as a suburban vehicle, which is a preposterous waste which deserves railing on against.
I don't think this explanation really tracks with the parent comments, where we just never gained miles because it hurt to run, and after switching styles to mid-foot strikes, we can run as far as we want. For the record, my next injury was 'misaligned patella' because running was pretty much the only exercise I was doing and I strengthened one quad without strengthening the others, so my kneecap was being pulled out of alignment. Lesson learned, actually do a workout that targets opposing muscles, squats, leg lifts etc. Haven't run into any bone density issues yet.
I am using it lately (I have to use it, as on Windows and Linux there isn't anything better), which is why I'm so pissed off at it.

I agree with you that Firefox with uBlock Origin is a killer combo, however getting it to that stage takes a bit of effort (why should I have to do that in a browser that boasts about privacy all the time?) and it feels like you have to constantly fight Mozilla - whether it's opting-out of various built-in spyware such as telemetry, crapware such as Pocket or "features" such as sponsored sites/tabs (again, all in a browser that boasts about privacy), redesigns such as the new tab bar, or the constant nags after every update.
