I don't want anything to do with the drama... but I backed a while ago and only just played the first time last fall for about 2 months and I've already got my monies worth. If you can make it past the rough edges there are already magical moments not available anywhere else available in the game and I can't wait to see what they do in the future.

Recently Jackfrags who I watch cover FPS games on youtube played it and my reaction was similar.

There's something about the feeling of this that reminds me of being much younger, running demos in DOS, and how insanely performant they'd be at running the same sort of thing.

It was like magic at those times.

This is so far abstracted from the magic hyperoptimizations that were used for those demos it's mindblowing, but it's still fun to see and neat to play with.
Sometimes, when I can't find any good audio books. I'm pretty ossified in my tastes and only listen to the same hand full for a decade now. And even then only about 1/2 of their episodes are to my liking.
Anyone is allowed to prefer a programming style that suits their aesthetics and habits, and like that one over all others. Aesthetic preferences are a very valid way to choose your programming language — ultimately that's how we all pick our favourite languages — and there's no need to make up universal empirical claims to support our preferences.

That's fine, but I'm not sure what it has to do with my comment as it was not about preferences based on aesthetics or habits.

Thanks for the links though.

There's really no need to assert what is really a conjecture, let alone one that's been examined and has not been verified.

There's no unsupported conjecture in "it is strictly more rigorous to catch equivalent bugs through the interpreter/compiler than through testing or other runtime-dependent approaches."

If you believe the conjecture is intrinsically hard to verify, you're conceding that you're only claiming a small effect at best (big effects are typically not hard to verify), and so there's even less justification for continuing to assert it.

It's easy to fall victim to the Robert McNamara fallacy, that if something isn't easy to measure its effect or importance is insignificant. Anyone looking back at U.S. defense and procurement policy from his era is free to observe the lack of real-world congruence with such thinking. The Dan Luu page you cited, more than anything else, seems to reinforce that the cited studies are hard to interpret for any rigorous conclusions or for validity of methodology.

This is why I did not make sweeping statements along the lines of "the majority of dynamically-typed software in production [no qualifier on what "production" means] would have fewer bugs if it were statically-typed" or the like.
> I would never use the term "dream team" like that - what a wanker!

A lot of American MBAs are, in fact, wankers.
No way, really?
I’m sure there are some crippling around somewhere, but it’s no longer a major concern.
Id imagine a lot of the other desal plants (esp. those in Saudi Arabia) are less than obligated to admit to their resource usage and waste products. Apparently desal is very energy intensive. OP pointed out using solar but I would like an equivalent of how many 400W solar panels does it take to make 1 gallon desal water.
Don’t forget that transmission is a huge component of electricity cost and only going to increase with congestion and inflation.
Only sort of; great artists do get referred to by a single name, regardless of the time period. Dali is one such; we aren't shocked at his modernity, because he feels like a modern artist. Matisse lived into the 1950s, Monet into the 1920s. Van Gogh until the 1890s. Picasso is -weird- because he was a contemporary of Monet and Matisse and Cezanne...but also Dali and Pollock and O'Keefe. He was alive, painting, when Andy Warhol was active, for crying out loud.

It's the age, not the name. Picasso feels like a late 1800s, early 1900s master, but he lived so long he saw the moon landing, and was painting the entire time.
Items 2 and 4 are addressed by my git-branchless project: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless. You can undo with `git undo`, and merge conflict resolution never starts unless you specify `-m`/`--merge`. There's a UI for item 3 underway as well.
This part stands out to me:

Deus Finance reacted by halting the redemption process

What is decentralized about those projects if a central team can turn off a major element of the protocol or is needed to perform open market operations as with UST?
Superb. Totally agree. Think you need to write the next management book for people who can't manage to give them a clue.

Good luck to Netflix with their constant recycling of staff, they'll need it.
How can you recognize the huge variance of games in one breath but then suggest in another they're in any real sense becoming (parenthetically already became) the equivalent of casino games? In what sense, exactly, because it can't be variety? Sure there are negative points to both video games and casino games, but there are negative points to everything. The ones that are arguably 'shared' aren't unique to that pair either. Have you actually analyzed the things they call electronic 'games' in casinos? They're not varied at all; whether you're in Vegas or some random Indian casino, about the most variety you'll get is one row of slots has wolf clipart and another row has zoo animal clipart. Sure I guess you might find some non-slots that wrap one of the physical games like the card games, and to be fair I once saw some giant flappy bird thing on my way to a casino buffet years ago. Still, overall game design? What game design? Any random gacha has better game design. As a genre of game in the way slots are a genre of game, there's already been a lot of evolution and variety in 'gameplay' while retaining the core PNG collection premise. You'll find more slots innovation in mini-games inside larger video games than in slots themselves. The random gacha probably has better art too.

> could literally have a game to see how long you can keep pushing a big read button

Could? Did. Even Progress Quest counts for this sort of thing, and it was a parody in 2002. There's also the classic game of Simon Says which is basically keep pushing shiny buttons but less entertaining long term, since "number goes up" only goes as high as your human memory instead of a computer's. The biggest modern twist that some will find a negative is something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14UerIOvZKM (literal red button) or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kkGu7yIi98 where the time "wasting" is magnified beyond just the gamer but also to an audience.
I have definitely noticed the perpetrator fixation; I always thought it was an attempt to respect the privacy of the families rather than obsession. But in this specific case -- and I'm not trying to be sarcastic here -- could the lack of contact to the victim be a result of there being no citation, instead? Not enough people knowing who the victim was, perhaps in combination with the bystander effect? I have no experience in the industry so I don't know if it'd be likely, but it seems plausible.
GitHub internally doesn't support ARM so this comes as no surprise
Maybe we can place the effluent at the base of a glacier so it buffers the fresh water coming off the melting glaciers and keeps the ocean running? /s
I'm a painter, and your instinct is right. The art establishment has no clothes. Look into "The Twilight of Painting". It's expensive but worthwhile.

There are well-intentioned people here explaining to you why your natural instincts are wrong because they have learned how to carefully tamp theirs down. Picasso and other modernists were an important step forward, but the ideas were taken too far. Twombly is a hack, full-stop.
Yep, they outright lied about env vars. Incredible.

It pains me to see even occasional defenders of Heroku. They're not the company they were 10 years ago. They've been gutted and left for dead years ago but the product was so good nobody noticed until now.

They're not to be trusted as your platform. They simply don't have anywhere close to the manpower required to run such a platform. This was a when not if situation.

If you're still on it, make your plans to move away now. Time is ticking until a major outage or another security incident like this one. See my comment history and related threads for more. Specifically this summary: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31374048
I think original poster might mean in terms of Postgres-specific functionality

For instance, a lot of Postgres tools use "pg_catalog" to do introspection on the datasource. Supporting pg_catalog is a bit of a pain -- this is the reason why Materialize doesn't work with Hasura.

CockroachDB also just barely doesn't work with Hasura OOTB because of a handful Postgres-specific functions and some metadata.
> why host other languages

Here's an example:

I recently finished building https://subzo.com.au which allows customizing and ordering 3D models. The way the model's cost, volume and other attributes are calculated needs to be done both on the frontend (for speed) and on the backend (to validate). Backend is in Go and we can't practically run Go in the browser. So instead, I wrote the calculation snippets in JavaScript (which runs natively in the browser) and ran them on the backend on a JavaScript VM library written in Go [1].

Actually, no! Stories about murderers track way higher in news media than stories about the murdered. Especially when it's a particularly heinous spree killing.

Resuscitating OpenBoot would be great for these devices. It used to be the BIOS of PPC Macs and Sun SPARCs. OpenBoot "programs" (PCI video card BIOS, PCI network card BIOS) were actually Forth bytecode compiled on the fly to the target architecture upon boot, so you could have architecture-independent extension cards.

Liking the place you spend more time in than your own living room matters.

(And yes--those bastards will eventually drag us all back. I thought Jamie Diamond's demand that if you want to work here show up to the office. Even Diamond retreated. Might be the only war he ever lost? Then again Diamond might be feeling less immortal? He had his aorta replaced a year ago, and is a survivor of throat cancer. I don't know why I'm writing so much about Diamond. Maybe--because if I had a do-over, I would have gone into finance, and hopefully retire early?)
Where is this "complete and correct" code that came at the expense of being large and complex? I've certainly never seen it.
We have instances that spin up and down quickly. AWS bills by the second; Datadog billed at that time (unsure if it's changed) by the minute. This mismatch led to huge bills, such that monitoring was more expensive than the resource being monitored. It's probably fair to respond to that with RTFM. However, par for the course in the industry seems to be to adjust the bill when our mistake was made in good faith. Their response was to give us a small adjustment in exchange for signing up for additional services. More than just what happened is how it felt. It felt sleazy, and didn't jibe with the way the company was presented in the community.

As for the tech, it seemed like a quality product.
Meh. Their job is to dump their bags on you. No surprises here.
I went to the first Startup School in 2005. While the sessions were great, the fun started before we got there when the train tracks (between NYC and Boston) flooded

Yes, and I became a user of Uber (ubercab in those days) because I preferred being able to book a ride just-in-time using the app rather than well in advance on the telephone, not because it was much cheaper than the car service or the taxis (as I recall, Uber and the car service cost about the same in those days, which was slightly more expensive the taxis for much more reliability and a better UX).

Wikipedia tells me pre-production began in 2010, with a Kickstarter in 2012. It is 2022 and the game's site claims it is actually available: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/play-now "While Star Citizen is currently in the Alpha stage of development, it is playable now. New content, features, and fixes are consistently added as development continues, with a major patch released each quarter."

How it compares to No Man's Sky (initial release: 2016, last update: late 2021, on its fifth anniversary) is anyone's guess, it's Windows-only and I'm a Mac girl, and even if I had something to play it on I'm not too interested in spending $45 on what is likely to be disaster tourism. (Edit: apparently it is pretty good for people who enjoy pretending to be a long-haul space pilot, so my “disaster tourism” projection was completely wrong. Yay!)

Also this made me curious what Mr. Smart's up to right now and, sigh, the latest article on his blog is him declaring the inevitability of blockchain gaming; he's even repeating the line about how NFTs will let you move stuff between different games.
According to the dictionary [0], the usage is fine. You seem to use the following definition:

> 3 : lacking individuality, distinction, or recognizability

Which is clearly not true for Twitter users due to their handle and public profile. However, it's also defined as:

> 2 : not named or identified

The example is even a book author, which you'd classify as pseudonymous. I think in this case it makes sense to make the distinction, since there are anonymous social networks, but it's not technically wrong.

To break the fear-avoidance cycle, you have to stop the avoidance, and purposefully push yourself in the opposite direction (exposure). It won’t feel good - your anxiety will increase. Your brain will make up a thousand reasons why you’re doing something wrong/dangerous. You have to persist, expect and tolerate the spike in anxiety, and allow your brain to acclimate to a fear. Then, that fear goes away. ALL fear works this way. It doesn’t matter what you’re afraid of or what mechanism you’re using to avoid the fear (pure avoidance, procrastination, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, whatever.)

You don’t face it all at once. You start small, by facing something head-on where your fear is maybe a 4/10. To give a concrete example: if you’re afraid of studying for a minor test because you might fail, then spend some time acknowledging the fact that yes, you might fail. You might get a lower score than you hoped. You might have to repeat the course. Maybe. Perhaps you write it down on a piece of paper next to your study materials: “I’m going to do a reasonable job studying for this test, but I know there is a chance I could fail. If I fail, then I will have to assess my options at that time. Till then, I’m going to give it a solid effort and see what happens.”

Your fear will rise, but if you stick with it, it will eventually fall. You will know what it feels like to have conquered a fear.

In time, you will learn to have this process be your default coping strategy instead of avoidance. Then, you will not live your life dictated by fear, and in time, your overall anxiety will decrease to a healthy level.

This process works very repeatably for a very wide range of people. But it’s much easier to describe than it is to do. Your brain doesn’t want you to face your fears, because your brain thinks you are in danger. So your anxiety will not go down without a fight. But it’s a fight you can win!

I strongly recommend using a CBT therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders. I would also recommend looking for a therapist who is experienced in treating OCD. I recommend this because the treatment for OCD really works for any anxiety, but the inverse is not true. So seeing a provider with OCD expertise covers your bases.
It's just another neo-colonial weapon to attack former colonies and weak nations like all "international" courts/institutions/etc. It won't affect colonial powers like the US, Britain, France, etc. It certainly won't affect powerful nations like China and Russia. It'll be used to attack african, middle eastern, asian, south american, etc nations.

I jokingly tell my friends that i want to start a phone company.

It'll just sell one phone.

aPhone.

It's, a phone.

Not aPhone 1, aPhone 2. That's not minimalist.

Just aPhone, 2022 edition. And so on.

It's aPhone for people who like regular sized phones. 5.8" display max, 3-4ths of the way to flagship specs, a $500 ish price tag.

Pair it with near stock Android with minor adjustments only, and i really think the aPhone could be a hit and help build a (not a billion-dollar) multi-million dollar company.
So? It's trivially paralleled, this isn't a case of 9 women making a baby in a month. Just run three devices, get 1 liter in 1 hour with 20 watts.
VC is a good fit for the scam economy. Unfortunately it will probably grow as a sector.
At the risk of going off topic, I want to respond to this:

"Perhaps as a consequence, we’re swimming in acronyms, magic metrics, and methodologies, but not a lot of rigorous systems thinking."

I've said this before, but I want more developers to write honestly about their day-to-day experience in the trenches. The real life experience is often something quite different than "rigorous systems thinking." The whole industry would benefit if we had more honest accounts of the kind of bad management, and process chaos, that leads to high levels of tech debt. Many projects fail outright, but we don't get many good postmortems on the absolute failures. Of course, most of us sign NDAs when we join a company, so we need to step carefully if we later decide to pull back the curtains and reveal "This is why that project was such a disaster." Sometimes we have to change people's names, so we can speak freely. But again, I think the industry would benefit from this. It's what I was aiming for in my book How To Destroy A Tech Startup In Three Easy Steps, and I think the reason that book has become popular is because people appreciate the raw honesty. I do think we benefit from good essays that remind us how "rigorous systems thinking" might actually lead to better development processes, but such a theory of ideal development needs to balanced by the many factors that lead to pure chaos in many projects.

Text of the email:

At Salesforce, we understand that the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data is vital to your business, and we take the protection of your data very seriously. We value transparency and wanted to notify you of an issue affecting your account. Based on current progress, we plan to complete our investigation by May 30, 2022. We are continuing with remediation activities and plan to publish additional information about the incident once it’s resolved.

As reported on status.heroku.com, on April 7, 2022, a threat actor obtained access to a Heroku database and downloaded stored customer GitHub integration OAuth tokens. On that same day, the threat actor downloaded data from another database that stores pipeline-level config vars for Review Apps and Heroku CI. This was identified on May 16, 2022, after further forensic investigation. We have no evidence of any unauthorized access to Heroku systems since April 14, 2022.

As a result, any secrets you set in Review Apps and Heroku CI config vars may have been compromised and should be rotated. In addition, any Heroku tokens stored in these pipeline config vars would potentially have allowed access to your Heroku account between April 7, 2022 and May 5, 2022, when your passwords were reset, invalidating all Heroku tokens as a result.

Please note, these pipeline-level config vars are different from standard app config vars. App config vars were not stored in this database and we have no evidence to suggest app config vars were compromised.

That may be, but the point still stands. This is a story about someone demanding a particular work experience and ultimately walking away after not getting it. That's important no matter how high up the food chain he is.
In order to call it plagiarism in print without risk of libel, you have to be able to identify what was plagiarized. Unless it was published anonymously, that means you know from whom it was stolen.
