I did not include capital gains tax in my calculations, so that could impact on which side things fall, but I suspect it all comes out in wash.
I thought the implication from this trailer was that Ron Gilbert agreed to do this game if he could ignore the story and characters from the other games (which is why Murray is getting pushed off the deck)
> and that macOS can't deliver comparable performance

That's not the case at all. The problem is that, much like shipping native apps, supporting a second graphics API for Mac/Linux is a pain in the ass, so nobody does it. On MacOS, OpenGL is too slow for most modern titles and Metal is too high-level and doesn't have good language bindings. Same goes for why games run better on Linux than they do on MacOS; translating DirectX to Metal is simply too slow, even for the highest-end GPUs that Apple ships. An M1 Max will struggle to get 1050Ti-tier performance when running games through MoltenVK, and doing the same thing through OpenGL certainly doesn't improve the situation.

Another possibility might be using Prolog's list/object composing ability. As a fun example let's imagine that you have a Flintstone's AirBNB. You write Prolog code to capture some pieces like a weather forecast icon and a headline or two, then compose that into a design that looks like this info on a stone tablet and send it to the printer loaded with marble colored filament, then have it on the table with breakfast.

What you're saying really can be summed up in that last paragraph; we've invested a lot into car-centric infrastructure amd it'll take time, effort, and sacrifices in the short-term to build something new.

I don't blame people for driving, when the alternatives suck. We need to push to make those alternatives better. It's a chicken and egg problem.

"This wasn't for tech either; this was for a rather odd skill set."

Well this sounds like a story.
Absolutely, I agree. My comment was written in the context of Shadowrun as an approximation of Bladerunner though. I'd say Shadowrun is strictly further away from Bladerunner than Cyberpunk, given that it's essentially just Cyberpunk + every fantasy trope you can think of.
Some may have realized that publicizing their net worth is both tacky and painting a target on their back.
All you would need for that is the traditional "Walk/Don't Walk" sign. Sensors will detect when you are at the intersection, and coordinate with all the autonomous vehicles to stop so you can walk. After they have all stopped, the Walk sign will light. No need for traffic lights. That is an easily solvable problem.
It's definitely steep and getting steeper by the month. The other downside, that's actually more significant than the base salary difference, is the lack of upside from stock, etc. (which a sibling also commented on).

However, there are a couple of significant things that are often overlooked. There's a strong mission that really speaks to some people. Additionally, there's a lot of structure applied which helps to enforce a work/life balance. Some people really want to dive in and work a lot of hours (which is generally allowed) but others (like me) struggle to turn work off w/o that structure.

I'm working with some fairly large monorepos and compile times. To be completely honest, JS is the least of our concerns when it comes to build time, things are pretty snappy when compared to other code bases like C, and Java even with tools like Bazel.
Microsoft pulled an Apple and turned DNT into opt-in. Advertisers were very clear that they would only honor DNT if it people were tracked by default.

The EU then passed a bill that said you can't collect data unless it's for one of six reasons, one of which is "user consent". This basically mandated opt-in, so everyone went super-aggressive on consent banners (which, BTW, are probably illegal).

Why not hold off the announcement until actual launch day? Big bang, lots of publicity, lots of sales.

I've got a Pixel 3a XL with a cracked screen. I'm coping with it cracked, but if I'd seen this announcement and was able to order, I probably would have ordered right now. As it is I just see "coming soon", and will probably forget about it by the time it's actually live.

From what I've seen, the scope of this project is to compete directly against the likes of Rush and Lerna. I spoke to the creator last year and my impression was that general language support akin to Bazel's was not a primary/immediate goal.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but I'm seeing this as an analog to the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps (maybe the name is swaying me there?). Something specifically for people right at the beginning of their career to have an opportunity to perhaps do something meaningful. And once they have that experience on their resume, it'll help them do the next thing.
Great. In that case you agree with numerous academic studies: the progressive or conservative policies of district attorneys has no influence over local crime rates!

Now with that settled we can discuss the causes and solutions of crime in SF. Because we’ve ruled out Chesa Boudin as both cause and potential solution.
I almost never click on a radio/checkbox input because clicking on the label is just so much easier, and I loathe when a fast-and-loose web developer neglects to properly set up labels for their checkboxes. That said, outside of tech circles, few people are aware that you can usually click on the text associated with a checkbox instead of the checkbox itself, so I'm not sure it would help much for a target demographics of "users over 60".

Unless of course you were suggesting to use labels to implement bigger visual checkboxes, which I gather is what the GP is already referring to with "Currently the only reliable way is to hide these inputs and replace them with images."

There are many factors. The legacy of Jim Crow weighs heavily. As demonstrated by turnout before, during, and after.
I'm not going to be objective but XCode is the single worst piece of software I ever used.

12 GB to download, more sluggish than the worst electron app, terrible UX, undocumented config files screwing up with git, terrible error messages, app upload is so unreliable even Apple had to create a third party app and tied to the OS version.

Developers have no choice, it's clear and they know it.
Unless this side-steps the GS payscale then no, it won't be remotely competitive with private-sector. GSA basically tops out at the salary of the average senior developer and doesn't even start at the payscale of entry-level FAANG.

Plus you also will have to plan for the reality of regular shutdowns during republican congress/democratic presidency situations - this occurs frequently, the federal employees always get paid (or at least have so far) but bridge loans from credit unions (USAA, DFCU, etc) only go so far and you really need some cash savings as a federal employee.

Benefits aren't great anymore, and it's hard to see how benefits won't be trimmed further in the future for younger employees. It's just too tempting a pot of money for lawmakers.

Plus yes, red tape. Digital Corps and 18f and so on are attempts to remediate this, but it's just an uphill battle all the way, it's not an environment where you're going to change the world in a year, or even show meaningful progress in a year.

And all the other "culture fit" issues. Smoke pot? Thanks for applying. Even if you don't, hope you like some dude staring at your dick a couple times a year as you pee in a cup to keep your job.

Again, Digital Service, 18F, and Digital Corps are an attempt to remediate all this, but there is still absolutely no reason to work for the federal government outside patriotism. Like game development, they know they are free to continue the negative practices because there is an endless supply of patriotic bodies waiting outside for the chance to serve.

I worked for a company that subcontracted on a ton of federal work and the federal-adjacent stuff (non-military) was the biggest waste of time there. One project was software support for addressing medicare requirements, that was shelved after it was finished, and the other was remediating a failed project from a big-name contractor that never worked properly due to keycloak issues, that was also shelved after we were done (but we did get it working). It took over a year of fighting to even get the software we were supposed to be remediating. The federal agency had no idea why we would want a copy of the software "for ourselves" when we were supposed to be helping states deploy it in their environment. What's a dev env precious? That's the level of competence the feds generally have.

If you own the contracting entity (prime contractor is particularly juicy) federal is profitable, because you're drinking from the river as it flows by. Otherwise, as an employee, you are far far better working for a contractor that is federal-adjacent, to insulate you from "government work" issues as much as possible. And obviously as you can see from above - even that experience is not pleasant and you will have to drag them every step of the way justifying why standard engineering practices are standard.
Yes, just because some state is worse than banana republic(CIA experience gathering?) Doesn't mean it is in anyway good system...

I don't know the details more than anybody else, but I would point out Ron Gilbert's name appears explicitly on the third box, along with a company name.

At the risk of reading some tea leaves, the style kinda reads to me like his name was a last-minute addition to the trailer, too.

Anyhow, he may have more ownership than a mere employee of a company would. There's a lot of gradations of levels of "ownership". It perfectly possible to write a contract that gives Ron Gilbert the right to make any game he wants with the franchise with minimal oversight and forbids the original owner from making any use of the IP, while turning over a certain amount of money for the privilege, and that may satisfy him creatively, while also satisfying the money guys (since I imagine they're otherwise making a whopping hundreds and hundreds of dollars a year on the IP rights otherwise).
A good compiler would produce the same code in both cases.
A word of caution: these programs sound great until you realize they’re mainly there for big govt consulting firms to take tax money. It’s the sad truth about tech and US govts. They don’t actually want to change. They just want to appear that way. My two cynical cents.
I'll take a second look at this to see if maybe we could optimize some bits in how we are using mutagen currently.

Is there any thought - given this is a development tool - to exposing container aliases as commands? Kinda like with lando, where you can `lando composer install` or `lando yarn turbo` or something like that. One of the other issues I have with these container setups in general is that for anything that has a heavy CLI component or interactivity there's no good abstraction around interacting with the CLI.
I never interact with cookie banners at all as some sites interpret that as consent (despite what the law says.) If it's in the way I delete it with the web inspector.
The program I looked at back then read like it was targeting established professionals.
No, and how is that even relevant?
Thanks so much! fixed!
I'm amazed more people don't push this. Germany's bottle laws (weaker now than they once were) was a clear step in the right direction. I'd love to see something similar for everything I consume.
>Even if that was possible, after the vote closes the ballots are counted and the amount must match the number of people who voted, so the result would be invalidated.

So an attacker could potentially invalidate hundreds (or thousands) of votes by stuffing a single fake ballot into the box? This seems like the illusion of security.
Maybe you could do a hardware version of that the emulation community does and say "this FPGA should act like a chipset X, here's how to program it, but don't ask us for the blob."

> In Seattle and other Washington cities like Olympia they just don’t have a police force that is capable or even allowed to act.

You may want to check into this a bit more. As with anything it's much more complicated than that. For example, have the Seattle "police" been defunded? In late 2020, the Seattle City Council cut less than $10M off the specific police budget, with funds specifically allocated for adding 125 officers. Meanwhile they budgeted $100M MORE for additional community safety initiatives (see https://crosscut.com/news/2020/11/seattle-cuts-doesnt-defund...).

Every time there was discussion of anything like "police reform" the past two years in Seattle, the Seattle Times ran an article with a headline like "Seattle City Council defunds police" and you would read the article and find that nothing had even changed, but that the council had just issued a statement of support for the idea of reform.

This is the kind of spin/propaganda that is happening.
>> but no one wants to give up their detached single family houses, 2 cars, toys, and trips to Tahiti.

Who has those things? I'd love to own two cars, one would be electric, but my apartment does not have parking available for two. Tahiti? When? I have a job. I have a cellphone. Those things don't go away. Vacations are for the rich and unemployed/retired. We normals spend our "vacation" days catching up on sleep.

(As I type this I realize that I had totally forgotten that is Friday. Weekends are for rich people. I'm going to be at work tomorrow, except for when I duck out to pick up an amazon package before it gets stolen from my apartment lobby. Amazon delivery drivers don't take weekends off either.)
Honest question: What security updates does a ThinkPad get?
> For example, it's quite difficult to imagine how wings evolved, since 1% of a wing seems to offer no fitness advantage

Not to nitpick, and I agree with your overall point, but couldn't 1% of a wing be useful for any tree-climbing animal that falls/jumps occasionally? It would allow them to fall/jump a little further without injury by acting as a little bit of a parachute or glider.

I was offered a GS-15 a while ago and even that was a lot lower than a starting FAANG salary for a new grad. I would happily work for the USDS or a TLA for a 20% pay cut, but the process of getting anywhere near that is a nightmare. It seems like the path is generally to work your way to GS-12 or higher, then quit and become a contractor for the same group.
On paper, current AI/ML can allready do this with math and proofs. But it's still a grind, and doesn't produce pretty pictures like a GAN.

I've got a laptop from 2004 that still works fine. It has 1.5 GB of RAM and a spinning 60GB hard drive. It runs the latest Xubuntu, which is getting security updates.

Android should take a similar path. Mainline the kernel drivers, keep the minimum system requirements low (which you'll want to do anyway for 3rd world handsets), add developer modes to test apps with constrained RAM and throttled CPU, rank "eco-friendly" apps that have lower storage requirements higher on the play store.

As far as the human resources required, see Ubuntu or Redhat Enterprise, which manage to do ten year support cycles for servers. I think handsets could be easier if you keep upgrading the kernel and core components instead of only applying security updates to the existing software. If you can do that then there's no more security work than you would otherwise be doing, since your latest handsets would need those security updates too.
This is interesting. I was able to solve all the puzzles intuitively, but still have no idea how the game’s algebra works :), i.e. I couldn’t write a program to do it.

.xyz has a public resolver for ETH addresses for browsers so - foo.eth - you could type in foo.eth.xyz and it'll resolve to a placeholder of sorts for information in the .eth profile (pointers to wallets, Twitter handles, NFTs currently held, etc).

It's amazing how many interpretations of this joke people appear to have :)

To me it's very clearly about Gilbert's past remarks that he'll never do another Monkey Island unless he fully owns the IP. Tossing Murray into the water means "yes, I don't own the IP and yet I'm making another Monkey Island, you can stop pointing it out".
