Every game is its own stack of hacks that barely works, usually; so knowledge about one often doesn't help much with another. The universals are things like 3d modelling (but with tweaked not quite standard file formats too often), Lua scripts (lots of game engines (mis)use Lua a lot), and a general knowledge of how 100,000+ files might come together in one place to make your computer do something. An experienced programmer should be able to find their way pretty well.

Find a game you like (preferably that has a modding community already), decide to make it do something it doesn't do yet; and go to it. Find an existing mod that's close to what you want and try to make it stretch to your vision. Look at all the mods for your game you can stand to, and see how others write theirs. Be prepared for some horrors due to non-experienced programmers "getting it done" with no idea how or what they're doing.

Then go find a different game and discover how varied the experience can be :)

Factorio is great for diddling with, very straightforward, fully (and excellently!) documented, voluminous examples of all manner of ideas already implemented.
It's strange that you say "why on earth would I change my party affiliation based on the actions of two members" as if those two members weren't the two highest elected members of the state party. It's like if the CEO and Chairman of the board of a corporation were embezzling funds and someone replied "Why would I change my opinion of a company based on two random employees?"

I think you did that because it's pretty obvious why someone might sour on an organization whose highest leaders continued in a pattern of bad behavior. In fact, quite the opposite of your claim here, I think it would be common sense to change your opinion on an organization based on a pattern of misbehavior by its top leaders.

The reality of modern American politics, though, as I think you demonstrate as do most people, is that Negative Partisanship is the only factor at all that matters. The people on "your team" can do anything at all, because "the other team" is worse. This is the sentiment that drives all American politics at the state and federal level.
Hn hug of death. Does anyone have a mirror?
CNN did not cover immigration even in 2016? I was under the impression it became a tool only after the disgraced chief.
My biggest annoyance with the lore was that I'd endlessly find Generic Fantasy Tale (Part VIII), not having found the first 7 parts yet, and so just be left with some out of context nonsense. Either deliver a novel intact, or don't bother please.
Yes they would, but if they can't also communicate with other nearby aircraft to get them out of the way then it becomes a problem.
I don't disagree, I'm joust pointing out that it should be easy to see why people post the kinds of things on Twitter that the OP is posting here.
This was broken when I tried it out during the Markdown-->WYSIWYG switchover a while back. I updated my OP to show they have actually fixed this (go Slack!). I just switched back to Markdown again.
Love the expo-updates version of this. Works flawlessly
Why not? Nothing stops him.
Shining example of a cookie law... Welcome to wide-as-hell salary ranges. And abusing sex-based salary details by extrapolating edge cases on the whole population for media outcry.

I don’t understand why zoom is so much more popular than Google meet. I never used zoom before my current company who uses Google meets for daily meetings and then zoom meeting for the biweekly review. No idea what advantages zoom is supposed to have.
They were the Soviet Union's nukes. That organization ceased to exist.

The section of the Soviet military controlling those nukes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/43rd_Rocket_Army) became a part of the Ukranian military. Why wouldn't their equipment?
Someone owning a space that they will never ever set eyes on, that someone else could make use of without disrupting -- or even notifying -- anyone else, especially perhaps the "owner," certainly calls into question the entire concept of "owning a space."

Reminds me of this poem which has always stuck with me:

https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/51296/ithaka-56d22eef...

---

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.
It's strange but Zoom as chat was actually how I first used it. A whole year prior to the pandemic the place I worked (fairly large) they purchased Zoom as their internal chat tool.
Candidates will anchor on the top number, so you want it to be reasonably accurate.

Also, if most companies give a reasonable range, a company that says "1€ - 1,000,000€" immediately labels itself as a company you don't want to deal with.
What really sucks is that Greitens at least seemed to give half a damn about responsible governing. I'm very much not a Republican, but I'd much rather have him back, if those are my options. That sort's rare in either party—and, I might suggest, even rarer in the party that's openly anti-government much of the time.
There are some compelling arguments brought against this idea here: https://ianmsc.substack.com/p/no-masks-do-not-work-against-t....

That's not the complete story on these past two years and the flu of course, but according to the narrative presented in that article, we don't have much evidence to suggest that masks had anything to do with it.
People cause accidents too. If an autodrive car becomes (is already?) safer than a person, should we not revisit the rules?

Rolling stops are illegal for a person, because a person suffers from inattentiveness and has slow reactions. The rules for a computer start from a different place, and likely will end up different from the rules for people.

Traffic is never going to be completely safe. We accept that now. To hold autodriving to a higher standard is reasonable, but there's a limit. And it should be a rational limit, not just hyperbole.

Strawmen like 'I'll be maimed!' are not really helping the conversation.
If you have the desktop client up, you don't get mobile notifications. They've always worked fine for me so long as I don't set my status as do not disturb
This would need to be decided by an actual court, but I'm not sure if the reporter would qualify as a "public figure" for the purposes of an "actual malice" test, since a "public figure" is generally either (1) an elected official, or (2) the unelected public representative of an elected official.

There is additional lower court jurisprudence for "involuntary public figures" (the canonical example being a private citizen who receives public attention for an act of heroism), but that test hasn't been developed fully and it's unclear if it would even apply here (since the name of the reporter hasn't featured prominently in other reporting).

(The "public figure" nature of the Governor or his office also doesn't apply here, since he's the accused defamer and not the defamee.)
Yes, in states where stopping at a stop sign is the norm, come to a stop even when no one is there. This ensures predictability, which is important for both driver and pedestrian safety.

If you are in a state like Massachusetts where a rolling stop is the norm, then for the same reason it's best if the car does not come to a complete stop, regardless of whether someone is there, because it makes your vehicle's motion more predictable. Ideally laws in those states should also be adjusted to reflect what people actually do.
OP specifically said that they can tinker with the drones in this case. But I hear you, when you can't and the environment is structured it can work.

Still the first question should always be: Can we instrument the object.
I think that HRM data from watches is indicative at best and is never going to be as accurate as a decent chest monitor, let alone a nurse with professional training!

For me, these devices are good to spot trends over time, (eg "how has my resting heartrate improved after 4 weeks of being more physically active?") rather than comparing my data to someone else's.
Thanks for the response, this definitely sounds like one to keep an eye on then! Congrats on the launch and look forward to seeing where you take it.
that's a big change: can you share the source?
> don't think I'll ever find the position where I feel I belong [...] now that I know how broken the system really is

Some people are chalking this up to depression, which is possibly part of it, but honestly I think this is simply the reality of a former idealist coming to grips with the big picture. You can't help but recognize that passion will come & go and it's all castles made of sand in the end. Whatever is most interesting for us to work on, someone else is almost certainly doing it better than you or I could without our help, and everything short of this feels like garbage when you only look at the work for its own sake.

All I can say is that what really makes anything worthwhile comes down to your relationships with people. Working a job which involves putting up with a lot of broken shit isn't so bad when you truly appreciate your team-- and on the flipside, working with the coolest bleeding edge stuff in the world will still suck when you don't. Localizing your focus and reinforcing bonds with the folks you enjoy being around can help a lot in getting through it. My two cents.
> “We are grateful to the member of the media who brought this to the state’s attention,” was the proposed quote attributed to the state’s education commissioner before Parson began shooting the messenger.

Why do we have so many people in politics that seem so hellbent on trying to attack people and find malice in what they do? I don't know much about Pasrson, but I hope this is not his standard MO.
What about clients using DoH?
Also on writing the name on the flag, North Carolina has its initials.

Honestly I'm not sure why Arkansas's flag has its name on it; it would actually be recognizable without it. It looks like the initial proposal didn't have the name written: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Arkansas
> I think there should be licensed use available for low power jammers -- say, one that ranged only so far as the perimeter of a high school classroom. If that's not possible, then perhaps schools need to be refitted with chickenwire in the walls, like the old plaster walls of years ago.

I'd rather see the opposite. I think that our laws against jamming don't go far enough, and we need to move in the opposite direction. I want it to be illegal to have buildings that intentionally block cell signal.
How much do you expect to grow this year? When do you decide it's time to throw in the towel? And I don't mean anything with my last question, I'm genuinely curious about your criteria.
The President of Ukraine and all official channels say they do NOT believe a full-scale invasion will happen. Only America says it will happen. We lost Donetsk and Luhansk a long time ago. It's gone now. Hopefully this will end now.

Since we have 2 feet, I'll clarify - weight on front foot. Also bend your knees, most beginners stand up too straight
I don't think it is. I enjoy a lot of things in life. Work just sucks. I believe there was post here about a questionnaire used in medicine (longer than the typical one during a physical) for screening for depression. I scored low, so I shouldn't have it. Same as when the doctor asks during a physical.
How about doing something about the multiple between lowest and highest values in range? For instance putting their range in a regulator website and allowing them to be viewed by the job-seeker according to their own formula, weighting the multiple along with the range values?
I love slack. Slack search is terrible for me, but maybe it's the quality of data it has to search through.
Who's lionizing HN? I've been here for fifteen years and could write fifty of these rants about it.
A folding phone broke, and Samsung wouldn't fix it.

"What they’re doing currently is forcing their early-adopter customers to bear the risks of the new technology. With a device like this the policy should be leaning much more towards the customer’s side. A foldable warranty repair should be rejected only when it is extremely obvious that there was damage caused by the user."
Check out the motorola's, they have batteries that actually last an entire day. Mine is usually around 40% on an average higher usage day.
RS in general has uniquely good questing (RS3 has made some truly great experiences). They go so far past "collect 10 bear butts" in a way no other game I've encountered does (though one could argue that story-driven games similarly don't _need_ questing in the same sense). Some of them are frustratingly slow, but overall it's a compelling system.
Why? I suppose you missed the speech he gave last night?
High level highlights typed out way too fast:

I dropped out of college early as I just wasn't mature enough / ready for that kind of thing / + I suspect ADD made it kinda hard to manage.

I got lucky and fell into a job where I worked in tech support, for some high end networking equipment for mainframes, later for data center related equipment.

Good career, very good pay, but still tech support. I found I worked with engineering teams really well despite being not the most technically proficient person among the teams I worked in (good documentation and being honest with the engineering teams gets you pretty far with them...). So much so that that I eventually rethought my college experience where I wanted to learn to code but at that time classes were "here's a book on C ... now I'll read from the book at you".

After 20 or so years company I worked for was bought out (that's a whole series of stories) and by then I wasn't so sad to be in the group that was being laid off. I got lucky and got paid out better than most people in the US receive so I felt like I had a chance to make a change.

Honestly I suspect money / comfort in changing is really the biggest factor in serious career changes, for me the payout took care of that to some extent. IMO rando promotion to management is not a "SERIOUS" career change. The changes that involve "starting over" to some extent is where the big changes are.

I wanted to stay in technology but also "make things" not just fix things for customers / sales who couldn't be bothered to config something correctly / and so on. So again I thought of working with the engineering teams and decided to take a shot at coding.

I found web development was surprisingly accessible / tons of resources on the internet compared to my "read the book at you" college experience. I started learning on my own and eventually took a coding bootcamp (oh man that's another series of stories). In the bootcamp class I found that older me responded to classes completely differently than younger me. I was now ECSTATIC to have someone drop some knowledge on me every day, it was a completely different experience than college. I was honestly very sad when it ended I was enjoying it so much. I would have loved going back to college on a more formal track after the camp, but family, income, just don't allow for it.

After the bootcamp I got a job at a fairly small company and have been happily coding away for a number of years now / expanding my skills / doing new things. I get to make things all on my own, apps, services, try new things etc. It's great.
Saying "it is just missing the autocorrect popups" is misleading. The problem with not providing the autocorrect popups is that you _can't cancel an incorrect autocorrect_. That would 100% infuriate me.
If a human walked out on the street after forgetting his pants, is it a crime if I look at him?

Show me an animal that prefers to wear clothes and I'll start considering it's privacy.
The issue is he then uses the approximations to do with math without calling them approximations. 1.10^7 is reasonably close to 2, but 1.1^21 is 7.4 which is a fair distance from 8.

He goes so far as asks someone to do the approximation across several hundred years of compounding. And sure it get’s a big number but one no even close to accurate.
I guess the closest feeling I've had to what you're describing is someone being condescending around matters that are considered non-technical? A PO or Manager essentially treating dev's like entitled children who can't focus on getting the job done.

My only counter however, is that this often is the case, and the manager is right that the very overpaid engineer essentially sucks at self-management.

Or maybe management as a whole has simply realised that they need to gaslight engineers into thinking their required, or maybe a generation of engineers have been promoted into a role they're unsuitable for. All possibilities, all likely.
Agreed. I enjoyed control’s aesthetic but I didn’t want to read dozens of files at a time. And I didn’t want to open up my inventory to read it. If text must be there I prefer it to be more like resident evil style. Brief collectibles, read on the spot. All of them tending to be plot specific and relevant. Typically each “page” is just a few sentences.

Little in the way of open world building with an expectation that you know who all these people are. Discussions of gods in games irks me the most. Oh my god how I hate reading religious lore in every game.
Having a lawyer write a letter shouldn’t cost more than $1000 or so. I guess the shares are worth more than that?

The end goal is not to go to court, of course.
Do you really think you would have been fired? It sounds like it was easy for you to fix. Sounds like it would have been easy for them to fix. Rather than fire you they could say, "Oh yeah we should make sure that something like this doesnt happen again. It could happen to anyone."

Firing seems like a big leap here.
>We lost Donetsk and Luhansk

Not all of it.
Corporate logo?
I'm surprised that cyber-attacks are not as prevalent as one may expect these days...

Cyber-war is asymmetric and cheap. And our infra is weak.

Sure, there are walled moats in FAANG but not so much in social infra (power, banking, commerce, etc)

The biggest will be when one channel of general social discourse is fully taken down. Such as slack (commerce discourse) or reddit or FB (anything people generally communicate on)

HN going down will also be a bad thing, just because of the tech-heavy user-base HN users are.

@dang, how many registered users are on HN.

Regardless, whatever that number is - its a really big % of the overall tech population.
I would be really tempted, but there are still a couple things putting me off:

* Intel only
* Windows only

... sorry boy and mum are arguing over homework -- gotta run!
That's ignoring the premise that there's no one else there. Humans do it all the time (rolling stop when alone at an intersection) and civilization hasn't fallen.
> The hardest challenge I did was climbing up a mountain in my shorts + shoes + socks for 2.5 hours at -7 degrees. I did not have frostbite in the end, none of us did.

What’s your best guess as to why no one got frostbite?

> Risk increases as air temperature falls below 5 F (minus 15 C), even with low wind speeds. In wind chill of minus 16.6 F (minus 27 C), frostbite can occur on exposed skin in less than 30 minutes.

It sounds like you were at very high risk of exposure, especially with even a slight wind on exposed skin.
It can be. Flutter works in most of the use cases, but if you need to do something special and use a lot of native APIs it might be harder.
Now that iOS is going to support push notifications, isn't PWA going to become the most popular cross-platform way to make apps?
Five Thirty Eight has written a bit about this in the past. That's pretty much what they said. No one remembers the risky play that paid off or the safe/expected play; they remember the risky play that didn't pay off.
> One could criticize of the very notion of progress. It hinges on a tacit assumption there is some destination toward which all civilization will inevitably converge.

I don't see this as being obvious. I can write integers that are progressively larger and larger without converging on some final value, so why should progressing society have to have a convergence value? I think the assumption that societal progress implies convergence says a lot more about the worldview of the person with that opinion than about progress itself.
Well, maybe if they stick to occupying the new areas that won't be so bad. It could even be more peaceful if the 'rebel forces' stop attacking things.
> The reality of modern American politics, though, as I think you demonstrate as do most people, is that Negative Partisanship is the only factor at all that matters. The people on "your team" can do anything at all, because "the other team" is worse. This is the sentiment that drives all American politics at the state and federal level.

Completely and utterly wrong assumption about me on your part. Both parties suck. There is a lesser evil, and that's the evil I unfortunately subscribe to. Wish there was a better way, but there isn't, so I'm stuck with what I got.
A lot of this “choosing to be happy” as the way you describe it though is merely self-deception/lying-to-oneself.

If I’m starving - I have every right to be upset. Yet in your mind - I should just learn to enjoy the search for food (even if it doesn’t exist) rather than being upset that I’m literally dying.
You sound like the motivation behind social security and UBI are different.

It's nice to present a clean (modeled) plan, but it's something different when it hits reality. Social security now, is what UBI will look like a few decades down the road.

Somebody will find a way to exploit UBI and that hole gets patched, then there's another patch and another. Not to speak of how different political ideologies will apply their own modifications to previously established laws
The next step in weapon escalation will be that adblockers will start blocking javascript requests and libraries by their shape instead of just by their domain (e.g. block all the libraries that come from apis.google.com or those who call an endpoint called /track on any domain)
Let me preface this by saying that I don't think Kendi is a deep thinker and I'm not endorsing his ideas, just describing them.

But I don't think we're using the word "discrimination" in the same way as each other. What I mean is this: if (say) black people are underrepresented in academia, Kendi thinks that universities should discriminate in favor of black people to rectify this disparity. And the same logic should apply across all sectors of society - we should actively discriminate everywhere until all races are equally represented in all endeavours. As Kendi puts it, "the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination." It's a simple philosophy... one might even call it simplistic.

Coleman Hughes wrote a good review of the book. I agree fully with Hughes: https://www.city-journal.org/how-to-be-an-antiracist
That sounds an awful lot like saying a business destroyed by the Mafia reaped what it sowed for refusing to pay them for "protection".
