Some more detail on this:

The starting point for BRender was a sequence of software rendering experiments that grew from 'never doing it like our hand coded asm real mode x86 renderers ever again'. There were various diversions, eg: an achingly beautiful plane sweep that only rendered the visible parts of each output scanline, whilst murdering the cache so comprehensively that there are likely still lines waiting to be filled even now. Fortunately, to get the FX Fighter team going with something stable whilst debugging continued, I knocked up a Z buffer implementation, and was given a sharp lesson on caching when it blew all the previous attempts away (notably with consistency of performance).

Arriving at this point we figured there might be a product in it and looking at our own interaction with other libraries, it was clear that a manual was key to this. If I remember correctly, the API was a negotiation between myself proposing designs, and Crosbie Fitch documenting it - pushing back with ways to make things easier to explain.

It worked out very well, and we took it into later Argonaut hardware projects. The hardware guys had enough tools to do frame capture and replay from various games/apps at a low level, so were not desperate for a full software stack. The clients had very particular views about how APIs should look, depending on planned uses, in house style, compatibility etc. We would negotiate the API documentation back and forth - including lots of sample code.

This sample code was important, (and BRender would have benefited from more of this). I took lots of real use cases, then wrote proper code to implement them against the proposed APIs and included them in the docs as tutorial and example code. Importantly - they were a representative sampling of the anticipated uses (not just the easy ones), they were not 'handwavy' and included all appropriate resource management and error handling, and they had to read well on the page. As the API negotiation continued, so the examples and tutorials got updated.

This process also had the benefit that we only started investing in client specific software development once the project had got enough momentum (typically committing hardware NRE).
This is great! Finally I will be able to use a Xiaomi Fit band I have.
I’m “retired,” and have never worked as hard, in my life.

It’s a joy. I work on the stuff I want to work on, at my pace, and using my development techniques.

Works a treat.

Throughout my career, I developed theories and opinions, on the best way to develop software, but was seldom allowed to put them into practice. On the few occasions that I was allowed to do so, things worked out great.

So a big part of “retiring,” has been putting these ideas into practice.

It’s worked out wonderfully.

I didn’t actually “retire” by choice. This industry is quite blatant about institutional ageism.
I'm glad that you know some history, but I'm not sure what are you arguing with.
Economic growth of 2000s did happen and it was a pretty liberal time back then.

>The large ones were not independent in anything but the name long before being taken over by state.

Let's take a few concrete examples of really big companies: VKontakte, Wildberries and Magnit. How exactly Putin and his gang exercised the control over them before acquisition (Wildberries still belongs to the founder)?

Ok cool, I guess you can send enough data with earth satellites to resend a full binary.
My guess is that they'll open source more stuff. Nostalgia is a powerful tool, and Microsoft's reputation is worse than that of FAANG, in many circles. They know they need to work on that, my guess is that it's primarily a priority/budget thing.

Someone needs to work on these releases and the big ones can be scary, especially from a legal point of view. So they'll just slowly release one small item at a time, and hopefully over time most of them are out in the open. Maybe we even get some big fish, like Win98.
That's all fine until there's a bug or attack and now your server generated password is logged somewhere.
> If the situation so requires, we would have to replace waste heat mainly with Russian natural gas and light fuel oil.

Why wouldn't this just be using the electricity freed up by not powering the data center? Thermodynamically, the data center is just a resistive load, so assuming the electrical distribution system can handle the load, it should be a drop-in replacement.
Fair point. Metamask might add a notice mechanism on top like "because of current network traffic is high, your transaction might take a longer time to clear" with a "speed up" button which unlocks higher gas fee options with a warning that it might cost too much.
I might, if it ever ships. And, is in a bare usable state.

I was using rainloop and the UI was better. I'm not sure what's wrong in Snappymail exactly. It's super similar and MUCH more lightweight so it seems that, in the process of optimizing, some important details where lost.

Edit: Now that I've looked a bit into it, I think it's just the font. Snappymail uses Deja Vu Sans while Rainloop used Arial. If I change the css in the firefox inspector, it looks oh so much better with Arial, imho. Icons still look worse though...
Looks good. Ordering.

Yep this is a utility function in sure thousands have written, including myself. It's not in std which is weird but go had been a bit inconsistent since context was a big api change.

Fun fact: that func has a hidden bug, if one should be pedantic. Can you spot it?
I can't speak for other companies mentioned (for most of them Russian government is the biggest shareholder, so I think you are right), but Yandex is not and has never been controlled by people close to Putin. I would like to see examples of this control, if you have any.

Though Yandex has to follow government regulations (especially in its media department), a lot of which are obviously biased.
You are not someone expected to look at what is happening in foreign country. As in, you are not expected to read their journals, you are not expected to follow detailed news about what is happening there. You are not expected to have detailed knowledge of what that country does abroad either.

When we talk about people who actively tried to sway public opinion or actively tried to influence politics, the expectations are different.
The guys that founded WhatsApp don't seem to be doing much from what I can tell.

I recently switched from Rainloop to Snappymail and I'm quite happy with the upgrade. The UI looks slightly worse but it's much snappier. I don't use it often as I prefer to use native clients but when I do, I'm happy with it.

Technically, I'm not sure most people in Finland would interpret 2.175 as 2175 because the dot isn't generally used as a thousands separator either. If you want a thousands separator, it's usually just a single space. "2.175" would be just a weird bunch of numbers as the dot isn't generally used as any kind of a number separator.

I'm curious why you think this method of social play has to exclude solo play, and can't exist alongside? Or am I reading this correctly as being mournful that people are turning to solo play? The thread is about solo play. It is starting, though, to seem like there's quite a bit of projection and look-how-social-things-can-be clouding out the fact that it's a perfectly great hobby to do this solo.

Social play is nice but solo RP is also nice...solo is also the underdog, as are many solo hobbies. So projecting the "that's too bad" onto it is not really looking very triumphant or self-secure or whatever it's supposed to be.

Could we even set aside space for considering the coolest things about solo that people aren't talking about, maybe out of embarrassment?

- One's imagined fantasy-self can help day-to-day self feel relief from the grind

- In solo RP there's no need to converge on a single best-self model in the same way social frameworks push people to do (sometimes dangerously so)

- Imaginary friends are cool, even awesome

- Playing with yourself is as fun as you make it

Any other embarrassing stuff to get out here?

I was trained by some awesome psychologists and made a career out of coaching extroverts and introverts--there's really no reason not to put this silly social-private dichotomy behind us.

Matt Levine had a good take on this:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-05-03/citi-d...

> Eventually there is going to be a proxy statement for this merger, and in effect Twitter’s board will say to shareholders “you should take this deal because $54.20 in cash is more than Twitter’s stock is worth.” Meanwhile Musk is going out to potential equity investors and saying the opposite: “Chip in some money because this thing is worth more than $54.20.” If a select few of Twitter’s existing big shareholders — perhaps including Jack Dorsey, a board member who ran Twitter for years and voted for the deal — are offered the chance to stick around, and take it, then that undermines the logic of the deal. “Elon Musk can make Twitter vastly more valuable than $54.20 per share, but not for you” is not a great message for the board to send to most of its shareholders.
It wasn't totally stupid plan, but it doesn't work if one party ceases to be interested in economics more than other grandiose plans.

The idea that interdependence leads to less wars is very old one. I was reading The Guns of August which tells about beginning of first World War, it refers to book released in 1910 called "the Great Illusion" [1]. I have not read it, but the book became best seller just before first World War, I'll quote from Wikipedia here:

> In The Great Illusion, Angell's primary thesis was, in the words of historian James Joll, that "the economic cost of war was so great that no one could possibly hope to gain by starting a war the consequences of which would be so disastrous." For that reason, a general European war was very unlikely to start, and if it did, it would not last long...

> According to Angell, the economic interdependence between industrial countries would be "the real guarantor of the good behavior of one state to another"...

Economics matter, but if the leadership isn't made of business caring people, or is isolated like it now looks like, then interdependence isn't happening regardless of business ties between companies.

I believe in Bitcoin. Specifically, in the sense that the concept of digital money it created is never going to go away now that it's out. It will have the staying power in human life precious metals, paper currency, bank deposits, stocks and bonds. It will exist as long as the internet exists, long after you, me, and everyone on this forum is dead and gone.

If you think it's a scam and going to collapse then don't hold any of it.

"It is not backed by any government, which means that it can be used to finance terrorism or other illegal activities."

Besides that fact that this statement is simply untrue because the government of El Salvador has backed Bitcoin, it is not logical. The endorsement or support or lack of endorsement/support of any currency or money doesn't determine or even influence whether or not it can be used to finance terrorism or other illegal activities. Government backed money funds such things all the time, and will continue to do so regardless of what happens with Bitcoin.

I suspect that because you don't like Bitcoin you associate it with bad things, rather than the other way around, though I could be wrong... it is a popular opinion that governments should have direct control over the money of every individual, and Bitcoin is designed to make that difficult. I suspect this is also true of most who oppose Bitcoin because of environmental concerns. No doubt there are those who really are concerned about the energy use, but most are just dismayed that they were wrong and these reasons are just coping mechanisms to avoid having to admit it.
> My criticism of cities is that a lot of them are hours away from anything that anyone would call nature

This is only because the suburbs are often sprawled in between the city and any nature that might have been nearby. It’d be a heck of a lot easier to get to from the city if you didn’t have miles and miles of low-density suburbs in each direction.

Anyway, “local urban parks” is a pretty broad category. It’s not just tiny parks we’re talking about; here’s one near me: https://fow.org/visit-the-park/photo-gallery/
Thanks Joe :)

>> My own approach as GM generally is never letting the rules get in the way of imagining the world the way I want to have. I could easily have a story that uses a story of raiding Eusocial insects with my standard character group - either transforming them into insects or with their characters as-is - and set further that would take them to a different world after 3-4 sessions.

Yes, that's the spirit! That's the way to play! Not just my game, but any game really. Take from it what's useful to you and mix and match to your heart's delight. The goal is to play a game and enjoy it. Not to dumbly execute rules just because they're written somewhere!

As to one-shotting, yes, that's right, this is not a game that can sustain a long campaign, I figure. I really designed it with the way I play Nethack in mind: I start it up, play until I lose a couple of characters (which happens fast) and then go do something else. Or, of course, I savescum just to get deeper into the dungeon and see what's there... But I can have fun with it without sinking a huge deal of time into it.

Something that might not be clear from the rules so far is that you don't create characters, you just choose one of the pre-set ones and go. You also don't need to write up a scenario, because everything is procedurally generated (or will be once I get the rules for that down pat... still WIP there). So you can just pick up the game and play immediately. Basically, I consciously tried to minimse the time investment required by the players, otherwise I don't reckon anybody will really give mine a go, when they're already spending all their time playing some other, usually "big" game (like PF). I'm trying to carve a niche, see :)

I don't know if I'd characterise my game as "rules light" though. I might be wrong about it, for instance if you compare it to something like Runequest it certainly lighter and plays faster. But it does have lots of ruless text that you have to read before you can figure out how to play. That is a bit of a limitation and goes against my "low time investment" design goal.

Or, of course, you can just rip the stats off and use BRP or some other percentile system that you already know, instead of my own. Or even d20 with every stat divided by 5, rounded-down. That should work also. I'll probably add rules for conversion to BRP and some form of d20 at the end of the rulebook in fact.
I certainly couldn't tell the difference, wow.. id.hеrоku.com and id.heroku.com look identical to me. I see the problem now.

> I didn't know you were an anarchist

Turns out there are a lot of anarcho-capitalists out there, especially present here on HN, and especially loud during pandemic-related topics. And i thought it's one of those historical things that theoretically exists today as a fringe ( like actual neo-Nazis).
You'd still start off with requirements - documentation - code, it's just on the understanding that any of these can change.

This is just plain wrong.

* you are painting every landlord with the same brush

* you beleive the fabric of our society should treat people differently, predicated upon the above point

* you think it is OK to suspend checks on government power, if you happen to dislike a category of people it effects

From your attitude, I would presume you believe renting places to live, to be wrong?

That anyone doing so, must be effectively stealing from people?

You need to get your head on straight. I know lots of landlords which have one house the rent out, or a duplex (where they live in the top).

If you want to be anti-profit about everything, why aren't you railing on about grocery stores? Schools? Clothes manufacturers?
I've worked with the Safegraph data mentioned in the article. They draw a polygon around a set of geographic coordinates and tell you how many iPhones vs Androids we're in that polygon in a week and they associate that polygon+address with a named business. Yes, that polygon could be a doctor's office as the article raises but so what? There is nothing tying it to you/me/any person. It's a location-popularity index basically. I have a hard time coming up with a scenario where this is a threat to my liberty. The article especially at the end conflates tracking of persons with tracking of popularity, and is (imho) disappointingly fear-mongering.

As an aside, i recommend the book "Ordinary Men". It tells the story of middle aged reserve policemen that weren't indoctrinated Nazis ( and a non insignificant part of them were communist-sympathising dock workers pre-war) and their trail of atrocities in Poland. It makes a decent case that there's more to it than "was just a Nazi", even if really isn't "just followed authority blindly".
I really wish software was written this way these days.
