Apps should have a notification category if you dig into the menus. Allowing you to specify but I think its up to the app developer to have it tuned to allow it.
I agree with the general idea in the article that games should be about fun and great gameplay at its core.

What I don't agree with is this simplistic narrative by gamers on how how very evil and greedy game producers are. Because gamers themselves play a significant role in that.

As an example, mobile game developers largely switched to in-game purchases not because they want to, instead because it's the only model that works to even get back their investment. Even asking as little as 3-5$ for a high quality game means most people skip it, even though they would love the game and could easily afford it. Apple Arcade is a counter act against this very perverse market dynamic.

Gamers created this dynamic. For being cheap. And please don't respond to say that you're not cheap, it's not a personal comment.

Next example. As a Battlefield fan, let's take good old ultra evil EA. Let's restrict this to the monetization part. Upon launch, Battlefield typically costs about 60€ where I live. And it doesn't take very long for this to significantly drop. IF you want to go crazy, you can go for some ultimate version, for about 100€.

59.99€ for some mysterious reason is carved in stone. Games have costs this amount (or less) since forever. Inflation seems to have no grip at all on game prices, nor does the price reflect the explosion in complexity, scope and upkeep (servers, anti-cheat, more bugs due to complexity, etc).

I guess this is some gamers' "value treshold". A game just can't be priced any higher no matter the value on offer.

Let's talk value. If you're a fan of the series, it has almost infinite replay value, as is the point of an online shooter. You can play the game for years, for thousands of hours. People are still playing BF4, which is from 2013.

And still gamers complain that it's expensive. The reality is that at least for this game, it's a steal. Extraordinarily cheap highly engaging entertainment in limitless supply. Thousands of hours compared to about the cost of going out for dinner.

The low price of 59.99, enforced by irrational gamers, likely is subsidized by optional in-game purchases that do not affect gameplay. In other words, people wanting a fancy soldier's coat in the game are basically paying to keep 59.99 steady, seemingly forever. And in this magic gamers world, ongoing costs somehow don't exist. Basically, any method to monetize is evil.

All of this is to say that game producers use the model that works. If you refuse to pay for fair value and sabotage every reasonable method, this is what you get. Gamers need to look in the mirror.
in bulgaria there is a saying: only nato can save you from nato

I am an indian & have been in valley for last couple of decades. anecdotally speaking between me and my friends I have never heard of the caste based discrimination until that cisco case. so much so that people would bring it up at gatherings etc. Also in case anyone is wondering, I do not belong to the upper caste and most of my friends like me are not (not dalits either).

btw in my experience internet dating & marriage sites have done more to break cast barriers in india than any social or affirmative action movement. I do think that it would take another generation for serious damage to happen to the caste system because towns & villages are still very much ingrained in this shit.
Just an FYI to other HNers reading this, in Europe there is more than one group of (somewhat, complicated) unrelated people referred to as “Gypsy/Gipsy” (which is often but not always seen as a slur) which includes Irish travelers in the UK and Ireland as well as Yenish people in Northwestern Europe (and a few other groups). That’s in addition to Romani people that Parent is referring to which is what most people worldwide probably associate with that word.
But what you will absolutely find is people for example lumping Asian people together, whether theyre from Japan, China, Korea, etc.
Found out my buddy has brain cancer last week. Fuck cancer.
This has been a great read and it’s a real comfort to see what other people have gone through and that I’m not going mad. I believe my ex has been emotionally abusing me to the point where I have now been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. After years of me apologising re our break up we were back seeing each other again only for me to find out he was seeing other woman at the same time. When I confronted them and him he made me feel like I was psycho and manipulative. I have explained to him why all this hurts me. I have finally told him about my depression and I honestly thought he would have supported me but instead he is giving me the silent treatment when he knows how hurtful I find this. I know I need to move on but I’m finding it very hard so l had to hire an ethical hacker who help me hack his phone then l discovered he’s a filty liar.I am so grateful for the job done by the ethical hacker.

> The "don't interfere" policy would also apply to Russia.

Yeah, good luck with that.

> And if they still try, the others would be responsible not to let them interfere.

Yup. That's why Ukraine should have been let into NATO long ago.
I can't help but read that as you acknowledging Ukraine deserves some of the guilt of wanting to join NATO instead of just the USA's fault, which is definitely not what I meant. Russia is the lone guilty party in this invasion, or more specifically Putin, I feel pretty awful for the poor soldiers who are getting killed in foreign land or forced to play role of occupier to hostile locals. People who understand his concerns about NATO are people who have bought his lies.
"You're thinking short-term and you're bad for it. Here's a bunch of unfounded speculation, and I'm going to throw in "plus shared with the government," despite your information already being shared with the United States government, which isn't at risk of collapsing any time soon, and will never be part of China, nullifying the risk of your data being taken by the Chinese government."
404 on both those links FYI
It's amazing how you can use this stuff every day for years but be completely lost when it comes to the theory, or even the slightly more math heavy practice.
You and the parent comment are operating on totally different time scales.

Russia will "win" the invasion. But so long as enough Ukrainians (it need only be a small minority) would prefer to die than be subjugated and there are enough others to materially support them the conclusion is a forgone one. The Russian people will run out of fucks to give long before Ukraine runs out of people.
>"where are you from"

Based on the fact that you took some (minor) offense to the followup questions, I'm assuming you're middle-class or higher?

I've spent a decent chunk of my adult life living in working class, high-immigrant areas (Noble Park and Sunshine, to any other Melbournians - both actually really nice places).

What struck me as interesting is that in these environments, probing about one's ethnicity is nothing more than smalltalk. Everybody has one; they're curious about yours and will ask directly.

In more upper-middle-class environments, though, it can be really taken the other way as ethnicity is something semi-taboo that needs to be treated far more carefully.
Yep...and this is just how society works. Like saying that if you think Harvard/Yale grads have more doors open to them in politics then you're crazy. Like of course they do...Since 1992 all of the president except Trump have had law degrees (Yale, Harvard, Syracuse) or an MBA (Harvard). Even Trump still had an Ivy league education...
My biggest fear in life. As I get older I worry more about the health of the people around me than my own health. I cannot see my life without them and I have no idea how I would cope.

Off the top of my head, they've made progress in quark-gluon plasma, discovering the AdS/CFT correspondence, and practical techniques for quantum computing. There's been enormous progress in computational methods, too. There's also been something very interesting going on with twistors. Oh, and 50 years ago quantum field theory was not on a formally sound footing, but now it is (not completely but it's closer). There's also a lot of progress in renormalization (RG group flow).

Oh, and don't forget about fifty years of Moore's law. We have solid state to thank for that.

I'm sure I could think of more if I gave it more time. The truth is that there have been no earthshattierng paradigm shifts in the last fifty years, but that's OK because they tend to happen once every couple centuries.
"Where are you from" means the same in the US (source: moved from UK to US 25 years ago). Someone who is interested in your ethnic background would ask "what's your your heritage" or perhaps "what are you?". "Where are you from?" is always going to mean Where did you personally physically come from.
Thank you. For reference, my automatic biased programming renders 'little green men' as martians or extraterrestrials. :)

I've actually found SwiftUI previews work fairly well, have to admit they get better with every Xcode version, and I don't understand why sometimes they need to recompile. Using them I generate snapshot tests automatically, and an app for our designer to see the various UI components on device through TestFlight. Currently only for our UI components library, but I'm hoping to expand the automatic snapshot testing to the app at some point.

Really sad that innocent people who have nothing at all to do with the regime are getting punished for this.
This is an attack on the Russian citizen, a normal person who works a normal job.

Good cop/bad cop is "funny" and enough to scare customers out of the dealership.

It's top of mind enough for them to have just issued a threat of “military and political consequences” if Sweden or Finland were to join NATO.

I've barely followed what's going on in the conflict, but I think some regions of Eastern Ukraine are the insurgents with respect to the Ukraine government. So in their case perhaps they've had the time for the past years and finally Ukraine's watches are winding down there. Great proverb.
I'm a little disappointed there's no Wi-Fi. Local multiplayer was one of the best things about retro gaming.

Bring back? Did PWAs ever take off?

The lack of mobile adoption compared to native apps, websites using notifications to spam users, the difficult discovery, and the lack of a huge advantage on desktop (window compared to tabs, sometimes a desktop icon) really hindered their adoption. I use zero PWAs today, and I don’t know anyone who has either, even on Chromebooks.

The broken at launch thing feels like a response to the increasing cost and resourcing of AAA titles. Big games these days cost a gazillion dollars to make. I imagine at some point in development they end up just being money pits and the developer wants/needs to recoup some cost to continue working on them.

Maybe this is a result of it being hard to estimate and budget new releases, rather than being explicitly consumer hostile (though it may well be as you say).

Its 100% true in my experience. You can identify caste of most Indians based on their last names. This is one of the reasons some Indians do not use last name at all. (e.g. from Tamil Nadu or from Northern states of India).
At work you can't hide your last name, so other Indian co-workers can identify your caste with trivial effort.
However, I try to hide my last name in any type of social (non-work) related conversations and try to avoid any groups where group members are really curious about my last name.
I really recommend NOT to expect cover letters. Nobody like to write them and we're not in early 2000s anymore.
I didn’t cover Yemen, because I am not as familiar with the details of the conflict, and from what I do know it seems to be a very complex situation involving many actors.
We stamped this kind of thinking out of Europe in the 40s. Shame it wasn’t all over the world, but… scope creep
Affirmative action does that!
For a list of frequencies: https://www.russianwarchatter.info/
No, it isn't phrased the same way. If you have an ethnic-sounding last name but don't have a foreign accent you might be asked about your ancestry, but they won't say "where are you REALLY from" with the stress on the word "really", the way it's said to, say, someone with Asian ancestry, born in the US, who answers "I'm from Chicago".

But do we really want to cut the Russian citizens off ? Their only source of information will be state propaganda... which barely mention what's happening - they are fed stuff like it's all defense against Nazis.
We need to do the contrary actually - let them know what happens and on what side of history they want to be. I know it must be scary as fuck to stand up and protest there, but it's increasingly likely that it's the only way out.
Slighly OT: There is great arc in the recent anime ODDTAXI following the inner monologue of a character that gets sucked into being a whale on a micro-transaction-monetized Zoo game. Highly recommended series that brings up several contemporary issues in a poignant and entertaining way.

Oh, you are right. I'm aware of the difference, but I didn't realize that there were no new data centers as opposed to new GCP regions due to my dodgy reading. But then there are two possible scenarios:

1. SK vector maps were generated using domestic servers (but no Borg) as SK govt demanded.

2. Google "secretly" exported SK maps and generated vector maps using Borg anyway.

And both scenarios are problematic. The former would mean that the GP's claim that vector map generation requires Borg is not true or at least exaggerated (this scenario was what I had in mind when reading my sources, hence no verification). The latter would mean that... well, Google is in direct violation of SK law and not even trying to hide that.
Different 'good schools' are received differently, though. If you work in Bay Area tech, a Stanford degree is more equal than others.
