Moneyball (book 2003, movie 2011) describes how Oakland Athletes build their baseball team in 2002 based on statistical analysis of player performance.

Then around 2008-2009, Houston Rockets, and Golden State Warriors (Oakland) started to apply similar analysis to basketball, and started to find the value of having quickly moving players who throw precisely, to score 3 point shots, even if these players are not as tall. Now it's called the 3-point revolution.

How to DO NOT build a product (but end up selling it anyway)
Firm agree. Military unemployment and happiness assessment is absolutely different from other jobs. Look at the clear hierarchies, the enforced respect, the employment security, the healthcare, the indoctrination, the danger. It's greviously haughty and myopic to conclude this applies elsewhere without esupporting arguments, to which "it's a big employer" does not count. How did this pass muster?

I conclude the authors are faking happiness to not get fired.

It really depends on what corner of Twitter you live in. I follow a dozen or so people and see nothing but high quality content.

I'm still occasionally amazed how Rockstar could make such an incredibly big open-world game (GTA 5) actually run on the Xbox 360. I think that was more of a miracle outlier in the industry than anything else, they were probably stretching the limits of what that small machine can do. Still, Rockstar's advantage was that they were making a GTA game with a well-tested formula, compared to what Cyberpunk was trying to do everything well and then failed because of a lack of proper direction.
Honestly, not looking for users - I'm looking for feedback, which I'm getting by the bucketload and it is amazing!

Depending on what he means by "device", I don't think he's got a choice.
Product design course
Note when using multiple devices in the case of the email-based auth if the code is not simple enough then you end up with having to setup email sync on all devices ...

And even if simple enough it relies a lot on cookies to avoid the hassle of the flow and become absolute crap when using private session or a cookie cleaner.

For the "personal project where security isn’t critical" use-case half the time the site would be better without authentication and the other half I'll probably use my default crapshot password because it's not worth more effort.

Edit: on the dev part it's not even simpler than a password solution since in the example the token is stored server-side and you still need to send emails.
If you don't care about session invalidation then you could just rely on the token with a bit of encryption/hashing.

Another edit: you could probably just add an optional password field to the flow and obtain something more flexible for the user without adding much complexity.

-> When creating an account not much diff

-> When logging if you have the correct password then great otherwise send the token

-> When entering the token add optional password to update
It's been ages since I've left gamedev, but generally characters and creatures are animated by constructing an actual skeletal structure inside their body (usually called a mesh). Points on the mesh are then mapped with various weights to the bones in the skeleton. When a bone moves, points on the body are moved along with it depending on the weighting. You can think of it like attaching muscles to bones, which determines how the "flesh" moves when bones move/rotate.

What you animate then is not the "flesh", but the skeleton. You tell the hand to move to a certain position, and then a constrained optimization problem is solved to extend the arm and hand while keeping the joint limits in mind.

The most convenient default shape to set up the skeletal structure of a humanoid is the T-pose, so this is usually the shape humanoids take in games before any animation logic is applied to them. If you see a T-pose in a game, odds are that the animation system crapped out. The animation system may have crashed but the error was swallowed to keep the game chugging along.

> I have no idea if it's going to render correctly

This is actually my problem with that website and the main reason I hate Twitter threads. Twitter doesn't let me open anything in a new tab properly, sometimes (like last week) opening images in posts doesn't work for days, and I stopped using the site because after about a month the notifications stopped showing anything new, I literally had to scroll through my own profile and manually look for answers to my posts! In the best case this is an unreadable mess where everything has to be unfolded like a messy origami; and sometimes this reloads the site, sometimes it doesn't, either way it comes with at least a second of loading time.

I'd like those threads if they were as readable as comments here on HN. But Twitter seems to test how inaccessible they can make their main content without people leaving.
I think we simply need to provide legal protection for those who would circumvent intentionally antagonizing feature sets. I believe this falls pretty far in the right to repair camp.

> need to pull out a wireless keyboard & mouse to watch netflix

I run Kodi on a Raspberry Pi for this exact reason. The Pi's HDMI has CEC support built-in, which means the TV's remote works seamlessly with Kodi's UI. This works great for my Netflix needs.

Unfortunately, most (all?) PC graphics don't do CEC out of the box. I've seen USB adapters that can add this functionality to PCs but I've never tried any of them.
Laptops, especially the likes of MacOS with T2 chip in which all I/o goes through T2 can do some clever things. It can essentially turn the underlying NVMe SSD into a battery backed storage. Even if the OS on main CPU crashes and dies, the T2 chip with its own independent OS can ensure SSD does a full flush before the battery runs out of power. Now, I don't know if Apple does this, but I sure hope they do. It would be great if they published the details so that even Linux on MacBook can do this well.
It's like everyone's forgotten entirely about the (wonderful) madness of Havok which characterises basically every Bethesda and Source Engine 2 game... The sound of agressive slapping and thumping as a corpse or four hundred cheese wheels get caught in the ground is music to my ears, bringing me back to the halcyon days of my youth when times were simpler and video games were...... Still a humongous crunch culture and populated with vocally angry impatient dorks for fans, but physics glitches were apparently just part of a game's charm back then?

How is your Monetisation going? I guess its hard to make a living from building your own product (I'm trying todo the same). But not impossible...

I'm doing close to 2k per month on MRR but costs are also quite high.
I strongly agree, mental health only seems to be a consideration until it has any affect on output. It's now talked about more openly/included in health and safety courses/etc. which at least seems to be a step in the right direction, but good luck asking for deadlines to be pushed back/or time off for mental health because a project is causing burn out. I'm hoping it's a generational thing that 'puritanical work ethic/expectations' are offered as the solution to all problems but usually dismissed as a potential cause of any
Is this a joke or a leaked internal Apple discussion? I can't tell.
Hmm, makes me wonder if this data structure would also support CRDTs. Collaborative editing is a nice thing to be able to support.

Another thing I was wondering is how easy this is to integrate with compiler frontends. Basically they need the same thing: an AST. And incrementally updating those is a big reason intellij uses so much resources and CPU since it is constantly boiling the oceans to update ASTs all over the place. Any time it gets out of wack (which happens a lot), you are looking at lengthy rebuilds using external tools such as gradle. And of course, Jetbrains is currently working on a new compiler frontend for the Kotlin compiler.

I used to use Eclipse back when I was still doing Java. These days people pull up their nose for that. But it had one powerful feature: a tightly integrated incremental compiler. Intellij is orders of magnitudes slower than Eclispe was.

With intellij, the best case performance of making a 1 character change to a test that you just ran and then re-running it is in the order of seconds. Three seconds would be pretty good. Eclipse was able to do this in well under a second. Compilation would have completed within milliseconds of the character being added. That felt as if it had no delay. Jetbrains never came close to that level of performance. It also never came close to having the same level of consistency. If eclipse told you the source code compiled, it generally did. If intellij tells me I have no errors, I can't trust that to be true until I do a full rebuild. Which can take like half a minute and then often fails for me (because there are obvious syntax errors somewhere). The more changes you make, the more likely it is to be lying about whether things still compile.

So, it's a big problem to tackle. The Kotlin compiler is pretty slow. A full recompilation (without even running tests) can easily take a minute plus on a reasonably sized code base. They are still optimizing it and I'm looking forward to the new compiler frontend they've been working on. But reliable & robust incremental compilation for Kotlin tightly integrated into the IDE would make life a lot more pleasant for me.
I'd be much more worried if it wasn't for one key piece of data 'MacOS' I'm not sure I trust the Xnu kernel-space to be reporting properly.

That being said I think enough others said it, buy proper hardware if you don't trust that your family photos are on your corporate cloud account.

Presumably it is part of their tactical plan (the dreaded two-I's alliance). If you think you've beaten the Irish and they are retreating, bam, turns out Ivory Coast was actually headed your way.
I wouldn't be happy with Python, but I do agree with the general premise that extensibility or automation ought to be expected of editors.

My own editor is written in Ruby, and so all extension is done by loading Ruby code into the running process, and I can drop into the Pry debugger with a keypress, or another keypress gives me a prompt to enter a single-line expression instead. The latter is literally a one-line method. Adding a binding to eval() a whole buffer would be equally trivial... Being able to extend everything trivially in a language I'm comfortable with (so not Emacs lisp) makes such a difference to usability.

Incidentally, the ability to interact with the open buffers using a script also from outside the editor is another thing I love as an extension mechanism for editors - an idea I first saw in FrexxEd (co-written by the founder of Curl) for the Amiga, which exposed the open buffers in the filesystem (think the Amiga equivalent of a FUSE filesystem), which would have the added benefit of not being language specific. It doesn't need to involve any FUSE-like stuff either - just a command line utility to "cat" an open buffer and to replace the open buffer from stdin would be sufficient.

Tangentially to the topic of discussion, I have seen analogies of the following phrase so many times by now:

And yet I am not sure what people mean to communicate by bringing in autism and Asperger's into the picture. What is up with questioning people's mental health just to explain bluntness and lack of social tact? Is that an instant self-correction to the negative observation about somebody, to remind yourself to be compassionate just in case?
We can manually execute the steps of a Turing machine. That's all that's needed.
This is more of an evolution than a design so I'm not sure how much intent will factor into what they produce. The software tools, the head-turners and the ear grabbers that are available to them constrain where they may go from here.

The beauty of the distributed platform that is emerging is that each service which makes up a project like Gridcoin can be produced independently within a larger ecosystem. Systems of governance are also such services, meaning the system does not have to be set in stone from the start.
Bit late answering this, but projectM for Android does have the chromecast feature! It streams whatever audio is playing on the device along with the visualizations. iirc it does require you leave the phone/whatever open on that though otherwise casting loses the audio, that might be different with newer android APIs though..

Then there's all the other screen casting things like miracast or whatever, depending on what the smart TV supports (if it supports any).

Smart TVs themselves are so inconsistent and jank though, I think I'd prefer to bypass all the broken bullshit and just use a HDMI cable.
Will NPCs finally resist when you rip open their car door, pull them out and drive away in their vehicle? That always bothered me the most of all - in a town with violence at every corner, people leave their car doors unsecured and when someone attempts to hijack them, every single one goes "oh noes please" instead of shoving a weapon in your face.

I did play through this recently, heavily modded with amazing community mods that completely rebalanced the rubbish combat and economy and fixed numerous bugs.

Personally, I expect implementing specifications properly. That's it.

About "commercial applications", let's face it. Those "enterprise solutions" cost way higher not because they are 10-1000x times "better", but because they contain generous "bonuses" for senior stuff.

This is almost always indicative of a negative/aggressive response that isn’t at all fair to the person you’re replying to.

Why would they agree with that question? Why do you assume a simple point of comparison for context (reasonable) is instead a complete dismissal of the question (not reasonable).

If the US sanctions Russian oil, gas prices in America go up slightly, and the difference will be made up by sourcing from other countries or scaling up more shale drilling. Politically speaking, it is something American politicians will be able to risk more than German politicians can risk shutting down something like NS2, since without it and NS (which passes through Ukraine), gas cannot reach Germany, which is why Germany has vehemently opposed sanctions on NS2. Germany hasn't even bothered constructing any LNG terminals[0], something which Poland and Lithuania specifically did in fear of Russian aggression. Yes, there aren't American sanctions on Russian gas/oil yet, but that's something that's entirely able to change.

I was using Wallabag for years prior to around a month ago. It was largely working fine aside from being a bit slow and resource heavy.

Looking around at other self-hosted options in that space brought me to a few other contenders like Shaarli (https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli) and Shiori (https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori).

Shaarli has been around forever and is insanely quick to load and add links, I just wish it had some sort of web-clipping support.

Shiori seems ideal as a replacement, but it was essentially unmaintained for 1+ years, though a new maintainer stepped in within the last few weeks and has been pretty active during that time, so hopefully optimistic.

I'll be watching Shiori for the next few months and see where it stands with development, then decide to make the move or not.
We took what we could get. Back then, the sound of 4000 cheese wheels rubbing ominously against other surfaces was one of the most glorious experiences available. Just the fact that it resembled any functionality at all was impressive to us.
> apparently more budget, more advanced technology and team members a game has, crappier it gets.

That's just not fair. Expectations have changed, technology has changed and team sizes have grown to accomodate the desires of the audience. With this extra scope comes extra risk which has been poorly managed.

> but most main stream titles were quite polished.

This is your nostalgia talking, and there's a huge amount of survivorship bias at play here. There were plenty of games from the 80s and 90s period that were anything from crap to just straight up unplayable, and they were just left in that state.
