The intention is that you do enough hp damage that their posture bar doesn't drop very much at all. In practice though that doesn't happen for most people with the vast majority of boss fights - you either get good enough at the combat that you deathblow them while their hp is still high through consistent posture damage or you die before you do much hp damage to them.
Same. I wish I had thought to short Russian index funds or just buy put options or something. I bet a friend a 6-pack it would happen within two weeks which ended on February 4th because Russia needed to move as fast as possible if they were going to go for it. Every day they waited was a day for Ukraine to organize and another shipment of missiles and supplies to land.

When the herald had spoken thus, Cyrus is said to have asked those
of the Hellenes whom he had with him, what men the Lacedemonians were
and how many in number, that they made this proclamation to him; and
hearing their answer he said to the Spartan herald: "Never yet did I
fear men such as these, who have a place appointed in the midst of their
city where they gather together and deceive one another by false oaths:
and if I continue in good health, not the misfortunes of the Ionians
will be for them a subject of talk, but rather their own." These words
Cyrus threw out scornfully with reference to the Hellenes in general,
because they have got for themselves markets and practise buying and
selling there; for the Persians themselves are not wont to use markets
nor have they any market-place at all.

I think, we should really come up with a suitable definition in order to separate the concept "video game" from other technically-mediated games.

I once [1] came up with the following criteria for the term "digital video game":

- Digital real-time computing* running some kind of simulation,

- A visual display to communicate the state of the game (preferably a CRT as in “video”),

- Means of user input for uninterrupted real-time interaction.

- Further, the simulation and its on-screen rendition should be updated at a pace, which conveys the impression of a seamless interaction (i.e., about a minimum of 10-12 steps per second).

Meaning, there's a closed feedback loop between the machine and the player(s), which exposes intervals for accepting interactive input, which may be used by the player to change the game's state or may be passed, as well, and that the rendition (primarily visual, on a planar surface) of the output of this loop is supposed to generate a seamless experience of the game world (as governed by its mechanics, rules, and internal states, which may be exposed to a varying degree). In other words, according to this proposed definition, video games in the stricter sense are frame based (as opposed to turn based) and include a temporal dimension. (E.g., Lunar Lander for the PDP-8 is not a [digital] video game, even when displayed and operated by a video terminal, while Lunar Lander for the GT40 is.)

*) Notably, "real-time computing" doesn't necessarily mean general purpose computing. Any kind of interactive signal generator will do. (Compare Computer Space, Pong, etc., in the analog domain Higinbotham's Tennis, AKA Tennis for Two.)

> I'm a mid-30s German guy. I just broke up with my g/f after 10 years of relationship. I quit my job. And I'm about to leave my appartment behind. I have 40'000 Euro cash and 60'000 Euro in ETFs/stocks.

Just wondering - Why did you quit the job and the apartment?
No, you’re right. Probably English is not their first language.
I can't tell if this was a serious question but the OP should seriously consider whether the money behind their investor might be coming from Russia. But they should also consider whether the current events have distracted this investor with more pressing needs.
So we shouldn't try to standardize things because the world is not perfect and there will be some issues where something does follow the standard? No.
> with Kremlin propaganda portraying Ukraine as a proto-fascist, neo-Nazi state

Kremlin propaganda... I mean the US did (publicly at least)suspend military aid to Ukranian militias over their overt neonazi and white supremacist ties¹(these militias were then simply subsumed into the National Guard). Furthermore, the American military has even published a publicly available analysis of such forces in Ukraine², confirming their existence.

[1] wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion

[2] ctc.usma.edu/the-nexus-between-far-right-extremists-in-the-united-states-and-ukraine/

Furthermore, see jacobinmags article for more comprehensive analysis of these sources³.

[3] jacobinmag.com/2022/01/cia-neo-nazi-training-ukraine-russia-putin-biden-nato

None of the sources I've used here are in any way "Russian", they are all by Western sources. If quoting the American military's own reports is spreading "Kremlin propaganda", well then I can't help you.

If you think there is no weight to the neonazi presence in Ukraine, you've clearly fell for western propaganda, which the linked article gives itself away as being.
I think part of the argument is that focus is also too narrow and not a good indication of the best students.

I have also experienced hard crashes.

For some unfathomable reason, the game comes with HDR turned off by default. You need to start / load a save, press start -> system -> video -> enable HDR (you cannot do that in the main menu for some reason). This improves visual fidelity significantly and makes it feel at least like something resembling a PS4-era game.

Coming from Horizon: Forbidden West, the graphics of Elden Ring still feel very dated, with low-res shadows & textures, flat lighting, low draw distance and constant frame drops. The UI is also rather clanky - this is the first game in a decade I actually had too look-up instructions for equipping items.

Even with that, I find the atmosphere and experience very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to exploring the world in more depth. I also love the lack of artificial level scaling/gating - go unprepared to the wrong spot and you are dead.
Adding to my thoughts above, if I was not employed and had a lot of time, I would educate myself on how options and futures work and start learning the tools people use to determine risk factors. I believe this is what "trading desk" wall street professionals do, with much larger amounts. Once I grasped the details then I'd paper trade some things to keep learning before starting with small amounts.

There is a fair amount of freely available info on how this works and I have a hunch that there is some math involved, which possibly means programming :), to determine lower risk trade positions that could be profitable. You'd have to factor in taxes into these equations since they would be considered short trades (< 1 year).
Could/does it get better with time and effort? I imagine that at first, it takes longer and/or more effort to offload tasks to a PA. This seems fairly obvious. But it also seems likely to me that over time you could come to a great relationship, where they get your needs and routine, and there is a big savings of time and effort.

The problem IMO is that unless you’re making big money or the company is paying for one, having a full time PA is just well out of the question financially. And there are logistics issues with part time PAs serving 4-5 people, I’d imagine.
Apply that argument to Iraq in 2003 then, the military really got that one right. It’s a black stain so large it’s amazing you think anyone will ever trust the military-industrial complex again.

A lot of startups are starving for people who have experience even if they don’t have a degree. I’ve worked with compsci PhDs that spent hours/days doing something that 3 years of experience in a heavy industry will teach you to do in a few minutes using a different method or more tools. Sure advanced degrees are needed for some frontier type things but in practicality they have very little up on someone who is passionate with coding and has worked with veterans in several companies.

Correct. You don't have to replicate anywhere near what Qt has to make a useful toolkit.

However, here is your experience with almost every other toolkit: Download it, compile it, build a couple test screens with it, maybe even build a couple of your production screens with it, then the inevitable disaster: You have some requirement, and you need a calendar that can highlight certain dates, or that gives you mouseevents on each individual date, or allows Jewish as well as Gregorian calendars, or that allows you to add things between the month name and the month days other than what the widget already puts there, or that... etc., for any of dozens of specialized requirements. And then you bounce off the toolkit and tell people in online discussions that you really enjoyed working with it, it was nice that it was so simple, and it has a lot of promise and you hope the developers keep working on it, but it wasn't suitable for your needs and Qt had exactly the widget you needed or at least the widget you needed had the plugin points you needed to do your job.

(In the meantime, the project stalls and dies because nobody else is using it either, but all for different reasons.)

And you hadn't even gotten a tenth of your dialogs started.

Another common one is, as people say, trying to add a rich text dialog and getting hit hard by bugs, counterintuitive behaviors, internationalization issues, etc.

Nobody uses all of what Qt offers. I can't even imagine what it would look like for a program to use literally everything it has. Even a full office suite would be pressed to do that. But everybody uses lots of different things. Put 10 Qt GUI users together and they'll use very different subsets beyond the bare basics like layouts and simple buttons.

Simply to write a binding to a GUI toolkit, ignoring all the other aspects of Qt, is itself a major project. There's been more than one Python project for it, and it is a project, generally more than one person could hope to do. To write a full toolkit that won't give people the experience above is enormous.

And that is why it is important to select your language carefully if you're writing a GUI-heavy project. You can't just pick up your favorite language and casually expect every widget you need to be available. Even if you nominally have "a binding to Qt" in your language, in my experience it's important to still double check that the binding to the widget(s) you need actually work, because anything beyond those bare basic layout, buttons, and bindings to simple widgets everybody uses is still quite possibly broken, or incompletely bound so it can't actually be used (which means nobody can have ever even tried this widget), or straight-up missing, or it's present but there's no way to correctly subclass something then make the bound widget use your subclass (in the foreign language) correctly, or something.

Nor can you just bide your time and hope a toolkit appears. They're enormous projects, even just to get one to the point that most developers don't generally hit a vital bit of missing functionality, let alone to get one full of all the features someone could reasonably want.
I stumbled upon one of the most beautiful mosaics I've ever seen last November when I was visiting Bulla Regia in Tunisa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulla_Regia) & it's been preserved in it's original place: https://imgur.com/a/1B5o490. Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area.

> If that’s a game changer what does that say about American K-8 math education?

American k-8 math education is a hot mess and the statistics have borne that out for years. Less than half of 8th graders rank "proficient" in math (https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/15/u-s-student...).

> But it’s a few thousand dollars if that (as low as under $1,000) which is reachable to all but destitute families.

And you've hit the nail on the head.

https://www.healthmattersalexandria.org/demographicdata - the median household income for African American families in Alexandria is $55k / year. A thousand a month is 20% of income, only 10% less than is recommended for spending on rent. Private tutoring for African American families is like renting two apartments. For the median Asian-American family in Alexandria, that private tutoring is only about 10% of income. And, as a side note, the fact that the median breaks so differently between two racial demographics points to the interplay between race and class in the United States that has historically made issues like this so challenging to address. Programs designed to minimize class disparity can look like racial programs.

America's historical racial disparity is a hard problem to solve. People know what the outcomes are that they want, but "the pipeline is leaky and full of acid," as the saying goes. I'm not sure the solution is to bootstrap students who would otherwise miss the mark into magnet school by changing the selection criteria to cause the magnet school to more accurately reflect the local demographics around the school... But I understand the impulse to try, because honestly, I don't think anyone knows what will work.
Surveyed 500 ppl in tech about growth, goals, & meetings. Here's 10 takeaways
Hey HN,

At Hypercontext (S21 / https://hypercontext.com) we build an app that helps managers run better meetings by making sure those meetings have an agenda, notes, and goals that tie back to their OKRs.

But really we want to help managers become great. So we asked over 500 people exclusively working within tech everything we could to see what we could find.

--

Here's what we found:

1. Unproductive employees are 2.8X more likely to not know their goals.

2. People who know their goals are over 3X more likely to work at a company that’s in hyper-growth.

3. Discussing your goals weekly increases confidence in hitting them by 2.7x.

4. The 1:1 is the most valuable meeting type (doesn't matter if eng, sales, cs, or exec)

5. Managers who run 1:1s have 1.5x better retention on their team.

6. Paying below market increases turnover by 1.3x. Paying above didn't seem to decrease turnover.

7. According to their team, the #1 improvement needed for their manager is in a clear vision/strategy

8. Meanwhile, managers self-report their largest challenge is "not micromanaging"

9. Gen Z and and Women of color are least comfortable speaking in meetings

10. People who are not comfortable in meetings are 3x more likely to have applied for another job in the past 6m

Launch: Accord W20 – Playbooks to win more deals and launch customers faster
Greetings fellow founders!

For those looking to scale revenue through a more repeatable, efficient Sales & Onboarding process…

We’ve spent the past few months at Accord curating playbooks from the WORLD'S TOP STARTUPS to share with the YC & startup community (from Figma, Productboard, Stripe, Pilot.com , YC peers, etc)

Access the gallery for free! (https://inaccord.com/playbook-gallery)

Why'd we build this vs just focusing on more product?

- After launching last year, we heard from founders:

"I'm not a sales / onboarding expert, how do I build a winning process to hit my ARR targets??"
"I don't want to start from scratch - who has best practices to use?"

- And startup sales leaders:

"I need everyone on my team selling like our best rep (proactive, engaging, transparent), how do I align them around our playbook and drive consistency?"
"How are others doing this?"

You can now access all of these insights & winning processes, distilled into easy to use playbooks, for free.

Spanning multiple use cases (from sales-led to PLG, and POCs to implementation), and for companies from Seed to hyper growth scale.

Whether you’re looking for customer onboarding guides, mutual action plans, or rep training checklists, we’ve got something for you!

Hope these are helpful :)
Exactly, it's all about life choices.

Many Chinese immigrants never go to bars / night clubs, and almost never eat outside, and almost never travels. They save all the money for their kids' education.

Some other ethnic groups, even low-income families frequently spend money on those things. Yes. It's your right to spend the money the way you like. But you don't get to cry for no money for education when you spend money on other unnecessary things.

Essentially, it's culture.

In modern multiculturalism, cultural differences are important for the narrative, but totally unimportant for life outcomes. Why is that?

Hum... Democracies sure look stupid on the daily news, but those things didn't push any of them into exhaustion.

Instead, the enemy is what it always was, corruption and violent subpopulations. Every democracy that falls, goes through both of those.

On the autocracies side, it looks like they also are as they always were: blind by subservience. About every single time one of them is tested, the ruler doesn't know up from down and the population don't know (or don't want to know) what to follow.
It's more that the other person doesn't get the chance to try because nobody is footing the bill for their test prep.
Maybe. Not sure what the value of speculation is here. Whether they have ADHD or just want to maximize their time, does it matter?

Regardless, there are no magic cures for ADHD. Medicine can be part of the answer, but ultimately it comes down to lots of life hacks and coping strategies to minimize distractions and allow one’s self to focus as best as possible.

Normally the SAFE is dated on or about the time of the wire transfer

Talk to a lawyer. My guess is you could let them know that a safe is issued in return for funding and given they did not fund promptly you've elected to go elsewhere.

Probably be good if the safe was updated (void after 5 business days if no funding received) to be explicit for everyone.
