Didn't they do something like that in the beginning of (ok, scifi) Jurassic Park as well?
The factory than makes the HMMWV (Military Hummer) engines is rumored to be shut down 'til August for lack of parts, too.
If we are going to mention Terraria, we should also talk about Minecraft. I purchased it in 2009 and I'm still getting new content on a regular basis today. It's true that they have a subscription offering through Realms at this point, but it's entirely optional.
It's true that they add more content per DLC, but I question the amount it adds versus the price they include.

In addition, I noticed every new paradox release their base game tends to be broad, but shallow; almost as if it was intentional. They fill in depth with DLCs which one could argue should've been there in the first place. Try playing any of their recent games without DLC.
Representing partial information can be important in some use cases, mostly related to historical contexts.
non-profits need to write all sort of reports to stakeholders to justify their funding, etc.

Software that would make this easy, or otherwise make that problem go away or smaller on a global scale, should have huge positive impact:

- increase positive impact of all non-profits.
- improved feebackloop should also make quality better (less funds to bad non-profits that write great documents).

Seems to be a problem where software can be part of the solution.
This is a really exciting to me.
As a libre-enthusiast who happens to be working in architecture, it seems I have been cursed by fate. Architecture is probably one of the least penetrable field of FOSS. I work in both 2D (for "classical" architectural plans) and 3D (for renders) and even though I make my photorealistic renders in Blender, I still have to rely on extremely locked-down and frankly annoying proprietary software (namely from the Autodesk brand), and there's no sign of improvement anywhere.
Tangentially, I have reached the conclusion that spending less time in front of the computer is the surest way to feel better about and (actually) improve the quality of my work.
I've been testing a new workflow involving Wings3D (as a SketchUp-replacement) but it's a tough call.

Anyway I'm happy to see this kind of projects even if I don't use "CAD-code"-oriented modelers (isn't it kind of similar to OpenSCAD?).

In any case I will consider paying for any FOSS project if it proves to be a viable alternative to Autodesk bloatwares.

Ask HN: How do you define the singularity?
I define it as when machines understand people.
Idk why this is being so downvoted but how open the crypto ecosystem is, how much access to data, how DIY it is… to me it looks like open source financials vs proprietary government issued money.

I think we have challenges with its exorbitant use of energy, but giving more access to more people regarding is a positive IMHO.
I learned J before NumPy and I'm glad I did, because it's much easier to see and learn the algorithms when they're short symbols.

Compare

np.sqrt(sum(np.square(x)))

versus

%: +/ *: x

So if you can translate one of the array languages to NumPy, you can tap into the wealth of "idioms" collected over the years.

1. Back in the 90’s it was Apache, not NGINX. 2. Cool kids today make a blog w/ Jamstack and don’t mess w/ NGINX. 3. People who blog on medium seem to be more hung up on getting a domain name than anything else (either $10 a year is not worth it or paying $10 a year means you’ve been ‘canceled’ by big tech or something…)

The ignorance of those people is not so much technical but in the domain of marketing and branding. Like ‘data scientists’ who think they are too good to run unit tests or type ‘git commit’ they think being high status is letting other people do things for you, so in their bizzaro world being on medium makes you look like a somebody and having your own domain makes you a nerd, a tool or something like that.

Thank God people who won’t register a domain name won’t figure out how to make a crypto wallet so they’ll always be looking from the outside in, wishing they had a bored ape of their own.
Isaac Asimov's Guide to Earth and Space
IMVHO too many fails to comprehend what "editor" means. Now it means just "something to edit text", in the past means "human-computer interface".

ACME is modern respect of Tioga (Xerox) or Emacs, but it's still a classic editor, or the human-computer interface. Plan 9 while address many unix shortcoming it's still the successors of unix so it's still shell-centered and ACME was/is it's tentative to came back to classic OSes, so editors, models, while retaining unix "cheapness" and "raw simplicity".

I think at Bell Labs someone have thought that "perhaps we still find a way to a non crappy and archaic OS, while satisfy big business needs against the users" so something that was a desktop but still networked in a way that push toward modern data centers/cloud model. That's because re-reading IT history since original Xerox desktops almost all the industry seems to have do it's best do deprive end users of control on their own systems to shift it toward some vendors. All we have today was essentially designed back then, and changed to be proprietary and centralized from emails (now essentially webmails and proprietary chat platforms) to modern "recommendations engines" vs classic user-local scoring tools.

Editors was the biggest and more evident change: from desktop UIs to mere text-writing tools. After a certain amount of time big and narcissist IDEs arrive, explode and then people tired by their bloat want again "classic editors" without even really knowing them, so arrive the era of Sublime, VS Code etc, notebook UIs (like Jupyter) etc perhaps in another decade or two we will unveil the new shiny and powerful editor, witch happen to be a copycat of old Tioga and co...
I have tried it, but ages ago. Maybe I'll give it another try.

If I remember correctly, apart from clunky workflow it had too much visual clutter for me, especially when it comes to large drawings. Those visible constraints and anchor points let me loose the overview. I really only need black lines on white background; various thicknesses and hatchings. Using FreeCAD I'm always under the impression, that it's primarily made for smaller but more complex parts and not, say, a larger wood structure with wall details, where you need to take care of both the micro and macro view. I don't need constraints, as the placed lines are already the source of truth; measurements are mainly important while creating the object and for communicating to others while laying out plans, but rarely in between.

Maybe that's just an interface configuration issue though? And I guess the workflow is just something to get used to.

In the end my primary reason for looking for a program that is more drawing-like is to be able to teach people how to draw simple things on paper and then go "here's this program where you can do what you can do on paper, but you can edit it afterwards, align stuff easily and build complexity".
memLevel=1 afaik is pretty rare in the wild? The maintainer doesn't seem to dispute it after a reproducer was shown, a new release is out now.
The reason is because people absolutely hated that Tokyo map with the embankments, myself included. Rocket League is unique in that the core gameplay is so good, that messing around with it is just a bad idea. It’s like asking why there aren’t new pieces being released for Chess, or why people don’t start adding unconventional elements to a soccer field. It’s because novelties like those take away from what is already a solid experience. They have added some modes to that in non-competitive Rocket League, but RL is a unique game in that it seems like most players play the game in competitive modes, where those novelties are not appreciated, and so putting lots of work into those kinds of alternative arenas just doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I personally am glad the developers have realized they have a game like this and haven’t killed their game through adding more for the sake of more.

What you're describing is basically a passwordless setup with a poorly designed API (putting loosely defined strings that can have nowhere near enough entropy) and some great tools that have grown up around that API (password managers). When it's used well (as you do) it works great for all the reasons you describe. The problem is there's lots of room for people to misuse it.

Graber said I quote:

> American imperial power is based on a debt that will never-can never-be repaid. Its national debt has become a promise, not just to its own people, but to the nations of the entire world, that everyone knows will not be kept.

Graber then likens the large holdings of US treasuries by Western Europe, Japan and Korea to a tribute system which siphons wealth from these supposed client states to the American Empire. And then in the very same chapter he also says China accumulating US treasuries is the first stage of a very long process of reducing the United States to something like a traditional Chinese client state.

No mention of the actual conventionally understood reason of why US treasuries are favored as reserves i.e. safety and liquidity.

Tell me again how I am misrepresenting the book.
I can see what you've written, but I'm having trouble with the level of certainty you ascribe to what is surely a highly-subjective claim. It's not at all clear that Malthus is not (or hasn't been), at least partially, a "butt joke of economics", nor is it clear that Marxian economics' heterodox status today has any bearing on the quality of Marx's critique of Malthus.

Both Marx and Malthus have present-day adherents, though current positions have evolved well beyond those of their progenitors, but they've both also been widely panned. Obviously, the fact that neither mass global starvation nor global communism have overwhelmed humanity makes it easy to critique the pair, at least on a superficial level. You might suggest taking a more nuanced examination of their legacies, but I think that would reveal this entire discussion's lack of intelligibility. Perhaps you'd like to take a nuanced view of Malthus, but view Marx superficially?

>There is no replacement for experimentation, independent thought, and ruthless pragmatism.

I find this quite interesting. As a programmer I find you can only get to the real requirements by experimenting and going back and forth with the customer.

Applied to politics it would be really helpful if we could easily experiment "in the small" and then incrementally scale what works. However democratic processes, at least in my country, are so slow that most people go for the "go big or go home" approach.

It would therefore be helfpul to have incremental laws where you say start the implementation at city level, maybe in a few test cities, if that seems favorable automatically scale to a few states, and if that still works scale to the whole country.

In a complex economy you need these small "tests" to maybe patch issues before scaling it to the whole country. And you would avoid costly mistakes, trying things that sound good on paper but eventually don't work out well.

>The golden age of gaming ended somewhere in 2005-ish, and now the vast majority of games are derivative and often worse than the originals in terms of gameplay.

Major studios produce derivative, uninspired, and stale sequels. Much like the movie and television industries. They're in it to make money. So their products will be interesting enough, and often show the desires of the creative employees. But their decisions are strongly driven by profit, and they have to regularly publish something even if their creatives have writer's block or a desire to totally pivot a project.

Real gems are produced by the middle-sized studios that grew from talented developers and great designers. I've only ever learned of them through word of mouth, and even then I only enjoy half the games I try.

>Path of Exile

Best example of freemium, IMO. Cosmetics are a big source of income, but the developers still put out new game mechanics every couple of months. Bug and quality-of-life patches are frequent. There is a category of real-money purchases that affect gameplay (storage tabs to help organize items you collect), but I don't mind it. Once bought, they're available to all your characters forever. Not having those tabs only became a problem after many (>100) hours in the game. So I saw it as upgrading from the trial version. I've spent less than $100 on it, but have played for almost a decade.

Honestly, these are a lot closer to "Expansion Packs" of the old days than what a lot of people think of as DLC. It's maybe a distinction without a difference, but expansion packs didn't sell you horse armor they sold horse armor+a new campaign+some new player classes or something.
Many here like to keep old cars too, you regularly see cars from the 1950s still driving. Older houses like older cars have been tested by survivor bias. Older things stand out a bit too, so it is a way to be individualistic. A way to connect to the past too. Even if it wasn't your ancestors that built a house, learning about the people that did, and living where they lived and died is an interesting experience. In many cases the workmanship is something that could not be repeated given modern labor rates. So lots of little reasons. Also our modern homes don't vary as much as yours, they all look roughly similar. So an old house might be selected just to avoid the current popular design.

> generates long, random passwords, satisfying arbitrary rules that the user doesn't need to worry about

This requires lots of magic everywhere to make this "work". Every time it fails, the user is left with confusing nonsense.

At the weekend the company who took over one of my pensions sent me a QR code for "my account". Well of course it's just a "create account" link but as a QR code. So I create the account, it requires a password. So I pick a random password, nope. "Please follow the password requirements", it's a paragraph of text, including a maximum length, required characters, forbidden characters, combinations, and so on. I had to manually adjust the randomly generated password. Eventually I guessed that although double quotes aren't listed as forbidden they probably are, and that was enough.

Now, I know what I'm doing, but realistically most users are going to settle for something easy or worse they are going to give up altogether.
