I keep all my txt file notes in GitHub repos, works great for me. One thing I’m still trying to solve, taking new notes while I’m mobile. I haven’t found a good easy way to create/edit notes and commit them to git while I’m on my iPhone. The GitHub mobile app does not allow editing. The GitHub website does but it’s clumsy to use on a mobile device.

Anyone have suggestions for a solution?

Besides, you could make your own scene and increase texture detail and not worry about optimization. Add more detail around the hard edges, add furniture etc. That leaves indirect lighting, soft shadows, particle effects as the potential improvements. But those things I'm guessing would kill performance.

"Russia would need significantly more ground forces to conquer Ukraine — far more than the current 3.4 Russian soldiers per 1,000 Ukrainian citizens. The force ratios in successful operations are astronomically higher, such as 89.3 troops per 1,000 inhabitants in Germany (1945), 17.5 in Bosnia (1995), 9.8 in East Timor (2000), and 19.3 in Kosovo (2000). High numbers of troops and police are critical to establish basic law & order. In fact, the number of Russian soldiers in Ukraine aren’t even enough to hold any major cities for long. They will be in serious danger of being picked apart by Ukrainian insurgents.

most likely all the usable raw materials would have been scavenged, or melted, or ruined by the weather, or lacking any of the sundry bits of support liquids/solvents/grease necessary to make it run

But yea, it's trivial to paint a scenario that makes a working computer useless, however it'll be difficult to keep one running. So, best of luck!

Email: It's visible in my resume.

I'm a software architect and lead developer possessing decades of experience in implementing high profile software projects for network television, a Fortune 500 financial services corporation, and a large e-commerce site.

I'm currently migrating a monolith application that I helped start over 15 years ago into a series of microservices. I would love to work in interesting technologies (e.g. I'm pushing for a functional language at the next microservice).
Perhaps it's not as remarkable as it claims to be.
They want to be able to break backwards compatibility, so they can experiment more. If they put it in stdlib, they cannot break it anymore.
There are no goal-posts that are both sides will find acceptable in these discussions.

As a general rule i have found it almost impossible to 'change' someones mind, you can influence an undecided person, but changing someones mind is generally a waste of time.

Unless you have financial incentive to do this, you're going to be running this at a loss, let the 'fixed mind' party take the hit of being wrong.
It's interesting to see the averages from different decision trees and that the optimal hard mode is only 3.51 -- and that easy/hard mode are so close. It makes me wonder how much of my stats are pure luck. I'm currently sitting at exactly 3.5 after 48 hard modes (0/2/26/14/6/0) starting with SLATE, but while I feel pretty confident playing the game, I definitely have not used the "optimal strategy" every time, if I even knew that strategy in the first place.

Russia killed (starved, mostly) millions of Ukrainians before WWII, and sent myriads to the GULag before, during, and after.

That Russians also sent millions of Russians to the GULag -- including most POWs repatriated at war's end -- does not make it less bad.
Nah people are just rude. Look at how the vice prime minister demanded Elon Musk to send him free stuff while simultaneously making fun of his space plans. Apparently when there’s a conflict everyone must follow every semi-related request on Twitter. I guarantee that thousands of people are shaming private companies into “canceling” Russia right now, including cutting internet off to private citizens who are not in a position to protest the war.

>I do feel apologetic toward anyone who feels there’s just too much to overcome in my games

Psh, I ain't buying it. I think they found a niche and like sticking to it, and maybe like making folks salty. They make a ton of people happy with the difficulty, but nothing about these games are apologetic.
A friend suggested I buy the entire Mistborn series as one ebook. That worked for me.
It's funny how far the conversation has swung in the trash direction compared to 8-10 years ago. Used to be Proteus was controversial for having the nerve to call itself a game while having no gameplay...these days it's real games that have to defend themselves for having...real gameplay
And of course if you want to simply promulgate a falsehood just search on the internet for someone claiming it to be resolved truth.
> supply their troops

Supply their troops right across their border? Where do you think ukraine is? The side that will have problems with supplies is the one that had their armories, oil refineries, storage facilities, etc destroyed.

> maintain presence

Something they've done for centuries? They don't have to maintain a presence. The ukrainian army will. Notice how there aren't any major battles? Ever wonder why Zelensky is asking the civilians to fight? Because most of the ukranian army is not fighting.

> that is a very expensive operation in a country that really doesn't want you.

Half the country is russian to begin with. More than half the country voted to align with russia. That's why the West staged a coup.

> Extra hard when it's cold you have no food and you're running out of fuel.

It's only going to get warmer and Russia is not going to run out of food nor fuel. You do realize russia is the largest fossil fuel producer right?

> Vehicles are being abandoned and there is plenty of evidence for self sabotage.

Then how come major ukrainian cities are under seige?

Read what you wrote and ask yourself, is it really what's happening or is it what you wish was happening? I don't think the ghost of kiev is going to save ukraine. Unless a major power steps in to help ukraine, it'll be "liberated" in the next few weeks. And then ukranians will go on with their lives. No country is going to step in to fight russia.
Sorry for being a grammar nazi, but "enemy dejure" doesn't mean what you think it means - technically that form states that encryption is an enemy in law (de jure, in Latin - typically used in opposition to de facto, "in practice").

First time hearing about this author - what's the hacker news angle here? From what I gather it is that: 1) he's a very popular sci-fi/fantasy writer, 2) it's an incredible amount of funding for a kickstarter campaign

I'm genuinely interested - for someone new to his work, where is a good book to start?

Edit: as mentioned in other comments: https://www.brandonsanderson.com/where-do-i-start/
Either start with Mistborn #1: The Final Empire or The Stormlight Archive #1: The Way of Kings. They are his main series, and generally regarded as his best stuff. Would probably recommend Mistborn as it's been finished, and the mainline story is only 3 books.
I live near Mountain View and one only needs to go 15 miles out in rural areas like La Honda where the local fire service is all volunteer (cause there's not enough taxes to pay for fulltime fire fighters) with a few CalFire outposts scattered in closer for state forest coverage. There's also a combined network of professionals and volunteers who watch for signs of fire in forested areas statewide.
What Putin is doing is a war crime, but being a rich Russian "oligarch" is not, and I am wary of our seizing private property because we are angry at Putin.

I'm not 100% sure, but i remember that i could have have both a two and three function argument be called with the same function pointer, its probably UB however i think that as long as any dereferenced functions adhered to the standard argument behavior of the platform specific calling convention it worked, and i dont think gcc, clang or msvc complained, but my memory might be wrong.

Yes, that makes sense to me, not knowing too much about it. I found an interesting article about the various failure modes of token ring, and this is one (alongside the Captured or Corrupted token problems):

(ii) If Token is lost:
To deal with such situations, it is the responsibility of Monitor to generate new Token. Monitor will wait for Max Token Return Time and if the token is not received then it will generate a new Token.

Merging BSP Trees Yields Polyhedral Set Operation [pdf]
I'm not advocating solely for chrome. Safari/webkit was severely underfunded and neglected by Apple and was slipping further behind every year in addition to being unsuitable / unstable as an application platform. By restoring competition to iOS it will push Apple to fund them properly or they risk losing 150m for each 1% of users per year that move to another browser.

Safari only competes on one platform and that is MacOS.

If you read through our regulatory submission at https://open-web-advocacy.org/#where we run through this argument in detail.

It should also be important to note that blink is a fork of webkit which is a fork of khtml. There is nothing stoping competition within the chromium browsers as outlined in section 8 of the document.

We want Safari/webkit to succeed.
No this is so important. I agree that the reality of international and domestic generational conflict there we are mostly oblivious to in the West, should inform HR policy.

These things are real, and discrimination based on them can be concealed and is often as the very fascinating article says, invisible to outsiders. I'm with you on the way to address this is by bringing more attention to it than with other commenters who suggest that it's actually racist or discriminatory to acknowledge and address this. It's hard to refute the line of the other commenters cuz on the face of it it is racist and discriminatory to provide affordances for these types of issues because you're assuming someone faces them based on their background. But let's remember something important which is that the words racist and discriminatory in their essence are actually neutral... they simply mean discernment based on something, in one case race.

That can be used negatively but it can also be used to try to write the wrongs that were done by the inverse of that. So sometimes to address a specific wrong you have to deal with the same parameters as created the wrong but invert the effect. Otherwise you're basically giving all the power for the use of racial and discriminatory actions to the side that wants to use them for bad. You have to be able to use them for good too but obviously you need to be careful in how you go about this but I don't think that less attention on this issue is the solution, so I like to jump behind the point that this person is making because it seems like a very brave point that they're making but it sounds like a good idea to me.

I mean I have no idea how these observers would work in practice but maybe one way to do this is to sort of have like a pre hiring congress where all parties meet and have a chance to discuss their background and any bias and how they feel about people from another place. But saying it, I don't think that would really work so easily, tho it might. Every group of people is unique to some extent...I think it's a very tricky thing to do... But closing one's eyes and not talking about is probably not the way to get progress on this.
Does inflation really matter here? The value of the loan isn’t inflated, so I don’t think inflation should “count” here?

The russian people are an economic casualty in this sense. In many ways they did not choose Putin as their leader, but they still serve to support him (intentionally or otherwise) as citizens of the country he sits atop of. The state apparatus has wide reaching access to the resources of russian citizens and businesses, and the means and motivation to squeeze for those resources if and when they are needed to further Putin's aggression. If the goal is to cut off Putin and the russian state apparatus, that unfortunately must include all of Russia as well.
Putin would not have invaded if he were not desperately at risk of losing power.

Nobody is super-rational all the time. If he does get ousted he will certainly be killed. His replacement is, by reversion to the mean, very likely to be less rational.

The popular discourse seems to focus on the difficulty of From's games, but that's just one part of the entire experience. FromSoft has a holistic approach to game design that very few other studios manage to match. There's just an incredible amount of depth to their world building, and the gameplay, difficulty level, online mechanics, level design, characters, music, story, and themes all work to reinforce and complement each other.

I think FromSoft's games (and specifically the ones directed by Miyazaki) will be among a small set of games released in the past 20 years that will still be played and studied in 50 or 100 years (or more).

Also, this statement from the article:

> Miyazaki has created the most difficult games of the century.

This is absolutely not true. There are many games that are much, much harder than Miyazaki's games. And it was definitely never his goal to make "the hardest games". The goal, from everything I've read about him, was to make difficult games where the difficulty reinforces the themes he wants to convey, and evokes the emotions he wants you to feel. I could name a bunch of games that are harder -- including Nioh, a game that's partially inspired by Dark Souls, and has a similar combat system (but with a lot more complexity). The difficulty is an important aspect of their design, but it's just one piece of the puzzle.

There's a quote from one of the characters in Dark Souls that I think gives a hint as to why Miyazaki makes hard games:

> The dragons shall never be forgotten… We knights fought valiantly, but for every one of them, we lost three score of our own. Exhilaration, pride, hatred, rage… The dragons teased out our dearest emotions… Thou will understand, one day. At thy twilight, old thoughts return, in great waves of nostalgia.
I mean, they weren't LoTR-level, but they were still enjoyable. Wheel of Time ending and Stormlight 1/2 may still be his best works, but the Alloy of Law stuff was still solid, at least in my opinion.

> They are his main series, and generally regarded as his best stuff.

I think Elantris is his best. It's just that there's less of it (one book) than there is of the big series.
Perhaps the law needs to be updated... Maybe the current state of US law reflects a misunderstanding or a lack of context on how important these things can be and Law's dynamic it evolves over time so it's not inconceivable that at some point these kind of considerations would be worked into law and policy somehow. And it's important to note that the legal issue is going to be a large inertial blocker for companies to consider this because of the risk aversiveness on hiring the funny thing is in trying to do the right thing by avoiding discrimination they may actually be enabling the perpetuation of it by not providing processes that are able to address bring attention to an and focus on some things like the article talks about. I'm no expert and we're not going to come up with a solution today I think but it's good to see discussion of this on hacker News I think. As sad as it also is that this is something that so greatly affects many people and it's clearly not the responsibility of a particular company or the tech industry to solve these social and international problems but I don't think that means there's nothing that could be done there to address them.
