We have known how to build working NTRs since before the moon landings. They are a proven technology but we decided is was not worth the risk to fly them.

What changed? Or will this rocket stay firmly on the ground?
We need more open source game platforms.
There's a mod coming out this year with this name :-)
It's a 14 year old game at this point, but I enjoyed "Tom Clancy's EndWar". It's meant to be played with a gamepad, so it doesn't have much micromanaging. There can be at most 24 "units" on the map at any given time, 12 per side. Multiplayer splits divides the unit count equally among members of the team. Each unit is comprised of a bunch of smaller units (vehicle units are 4 vehicles, infantry units are 4 groups of 5 soldiers, etc.), but you control all of them as a single unit.
for 1, some games that I haven’t seen mentioned here are Manifold Garden and Superliminal. Neither are very difficult but both are very satisfying and well-crafted.
I feel like like we're into the weeds of "is this the only reason" or not and that's the dividing line. As even the NYT article notes there are other reasons too.

I find that the farther you go down the rabbit hole it is more about emphasis, and I'm certainly happy to agree the NTY's emphasis seems off / not entirely supported.

Having said that I'm always skeptical about "real reasons for war" as even in modern times that's up for debate.
A game like this exists and has existed for many, many years. It's a relic of the old internet.

This is a predominant style used in writing "curly-braced C-likes"; you see it everywhere and examples can be found readily. You simply don't seem familiar with this subject area.
"But now, he says, the heat is getting worse. “In those days there were many trees in the whole city and there was no shortage of water and we had other facilities so we could easily beat the heat. But now there are no trees or other facilities including water, due to which the heat is becoming unbearable. I’m scared that this heat will take our lives in the coming years.”"

"Others point out that most of the trees that used to shade the city and the surrounding fields have been cut down and sold, or burned in cooking stoves."
Why not just links? I feel like the full potential of hyperlinking is still not realized. To be able to integrate the source/referent of a statement in the same usage of that statement without any additional words is truly new in written history and still we write like “you can find the source here: big_link”. Someday I wanna write up a manual for writing with hyperlinks in mind.
Because not every trade-off is best resolved by taking the extreme.
Ostranauts definitely gets the "flying heaps of scrap" and manual landings down. Last run my first ship was a converted cargo container with no life support.
Yes, but it’s a signed copy of a URL.

It’s like having the only key to the door to a room in which the Mona Lisa is kept.

Except the room is wide open other than the one wall with the door and freely accessible to all the visitors to the Louvre.

None of them will be able to walk in through your door to view it, although they can simply walk around it.
To say that the New York Times is "wrong" is a bit misleading. The NYT article was written in order to promote reparations. It was never meant to be accurate.

Many journalists and even some historians claim that American economic prosperity would have been unattainable without slavery. If you truly believe that, and you look at the billions of lives that have been lifted out of poverty thanks to this prosperity, then a callous calculus could conclude that the abuses of slavery were a cost we had to pay. But economists do not believe this claim. In fact, economists believe at best slavery did not provide any growth benefits over free labor and at worst it impeded America's economic development.

If slavery was not responsible for American economic prosperity, one of the left's main arguments for reparations falls.
The equivalent of “this sign has sharp edges”

I love turn based games, but there is definitely a different feel with a RTS that feels less ‘boardgamey’.

> Or we trust the sender to not be malevolent and/or compromised, like Debian did for more than 20 years.

I mentioned this above, but when was Debian ever doing this? I don't think I've ever used a package manager that wasn't at least making some attempt to secure against MITM attacks and compromised CDNs.

> Or we trust the sender to not be malevolent and/or compromised

That's not what HTTPS protects against, HTTPS is designed to protect against MITM attacks. It doesn't inherently have anything to do with verifying identity, and we've actively moved away from identity verification in the SSL world, because the companies trying to do identity verification to determine which certificates were "verified" added very little security to the process and were mostly a waste of money.

LetsEncrypt pretty much only cares whether or not you control the domain you say you control. It doesn't verify your identity past that point, because that's not its job. It solves a specific problem.

> Also: 99% of corporate networks install self signed certs and override the certification authority, so traffic is inspectable.

I don't personally like when companies do this, but it's not breaking HTTPS. If the user or device owner imports a certificate authority, then the browser should trust it. Isn't that the whole criticism people have with HTTPS, that they don't like gatekeepers? They should be happy that device owners can swap out certificate authorities.

> HTTPS is not a panacea.

Carrots and spinach are not a health panacea, but that doesn't mean I'm obligated to eat dirt instead.

There are definitely alternative schemes that could be used in the browser other than HTTPS. It's OK if you don't like HTTPS in specific. But that doesn't mean HTTP is secure.
Economists and downplaying the economic effects of imperialism and slavery. Could you name a more amicable duo?

They don’t even say that the NYT is wrong (“This is correct, but”).
> have access to a justice system that can stop the government.

Haha, good one.
HUGE +1
In a similar vein, I want an FPS game where there's no benefit to having reaction times over some modest baseline like 300-400ms
I couldn't agree more. I'm sure kids today have browser extensions that can streamline the process.
The beauty of this one is that you could actually play it with no coding required
HN is a public website that publishes all participation to all public/anonymous visitors, and allows indexing by Google.

Discord is a collection of private chat servers that does not publish participation to any public/anonymous visitors, and does not allowing indexing by Google.
Problem is cops don't care. I find this to be an interesting opportunity: Brutal cops are currently a large liability on municipalities who have to pay out for their misbehavior. Instead, make these cops the bike thief patrol and organize a public cryptocurrency tontine that pays out to the cops when they beat the snot out of a bike thief.
Looks like the author is a contributor to this: https://brownstone.org/ which was founded to be critical of the global COVID response and generally push anti-vaxx theories.
"I’ve seen plenty of tech companies with Ukraine banners on their websites, and have not seen a single criticism"

The Ukraine banners are dumb. They have no place in technical docs. Like everyone else I want them to win their war, but spamming blue and yellow flags everywhere isn't going to help achieve that. Moreover the murky nature of their military alliances (Azov etc) makes it hardly a Disney movie-esque conflict with pure good and pure evil.

You see no complaints because why bother? The sort of people who do that never care if their actions are unpopular with other people, in fact they take a perverse joy in it.
I love so many ideas Fuchsia brings in.
Blob storage as a primary FS type, software integrity, software archives that can naturally just pull blobs it requires from archives to name a few. A system that can as a first class, be atomically updated.

I'm concerned that it may not get real use or that Google might poison the well it dug.

But I would love to see it become a minimum viable desktop/embedded platform. But looking at CLs, sometimes the enemy of better/good is perfect.
In case the T2 fans here weren’t aware, it’s a free download now and people still play. There’s a Discord community and we do pickup games every month or so. You can get it here: https://www.playt2.com/
Fair point, yes. I suppose the idea I've heard that the US was built entirely by slaves is the one I'm thinking of more.
The game I wish existed almost used to exist, as a play by mail game.

It was a swords'n'sorcery style adventure with a big open world, in which you had a party of adventurers.

Every week you'd fill in a card with what 10-20 actions you wanted to take (go exploring/questing, pray to gods, hire people, buy equipment, etc.), and post off your form.

Then you'd receive a printout with the results of your actions the following week.

I'd love a modern online version of this, i.e. something that limits you to taking a few actions a day or every few days, but with a serious amount of depth underneath it, many players, living worlds, etc.

The thing I remember most is looking forward to receiving many pages of printouts each week with all sorts of neat details and descriptions of everything that happened and the world around me.

The pacing and fact that it was text-based made me pay a lot more attention to everything that I would for a graphically based game.
If I may .... I was considered one for a small while.

It was 1988, I had just attended John Ousterhout's intro to TCL at UC Berkeley, and I was smitten. At that time, the company I worked at was developing network management systems for the big telecoms of that era, and the front and back-end software was a horrendously complex system built atop a proprietary C++ framework and distributed object system (before CORBA). Any change to the system took ages to understand, make and compile.

I realized in that TCL talk that I could wrap every C++ API function of the framework with TCL, and use it for configuration and testing and CLI apps using the framework. In a feverish daze where I lost track of time but later realized was 16 continuous hours, I learnt TCL and wrapped the entire back-end API. I demoed it the next day and the reception was rapturous ... the testers loved it, the marketing people loved it because they could demo changes instantly, the developers found a release from C++. I was the guy who enabled all devs become 10x devs.

It lasted a small time, after which people got tired of the idiosyncrasies of TCL. But the scripting bug had caught on. The entire API was wrapped up in Python, and Python became the primary way to build systems using that framework. Meanwhile, I learnt Perl and wrote a book for O'Reilly (Advanced Perl Prog-- the panther book). I dream about going in that kind of zone again.
Victoria 2 was an absolute favorite of mine. I'm excited to see what they'll manage to do with Victoria 3. Vicky 2 unfortunately suffered from a pretty rough UX beyond even what EU3 & HoI3 had in terms of information visibility and user interactions.
Long term hydrogen storage isn't that bad with the proper architecture. You need a cryocooler which can be powered by the nuke, and thermal shielding for the tank which in vacuum is thin film and of minuscule weight.

Hydrogen leakage and structural embrittlement are overblown, i.e. the Space Shuttle tank is one of the most mass efficient architectures in history and it was full of liquid hydrogen. Terrestrially, you can buy a Toyota hydrogen car today. Materials matter, but people act like the thing needs to be made of 4" plate and will fall apart if you look at it. Scaling helps here too, as volume increases to the third power while wall area increases to the second.

The thing will, if there is any sense in the architecture, be assembled in orbit so gossamer heat shields and the like won't be a problem, nor will an extended assembly program that makes with a separately launched nuclear reactor.

For ISRU Mars return, water is incredibly abundant and there's no concern with "wasting" residual oxygen. For lunar applications, water may be scarce but oxygen is abundant in regolith.

You can't beat hydrogen as a fuel. As the lightest molecule, you get the highest exhaust velocity for the least energy input.
"but no one is willing to invest equivalent resources towards training and mentorship"

There are companies and teams but you may have to dig deep. I would love to hire an entry level person for our small bootstrapped SAAS company but I run into some problems whenever I am interviewing someone entry level for web application development:

- They overvalue their salary requirements. I may get flak for this but I don't care. Just because you have completed a "bootcamp", you cannot ask for a salary that is FAANG level.

- They think they know more than they really do. I have interviewed a lot of entry level especially bootcampers who can write a app.get('/', (req, res) but have no idea how a GET request actually works. Most cannot tell me the difference between http header and body. But they surely know how to send an ajax request through code. Fundamentals people, fundamentals.

- A lot of them are unfortunately sold on the idea of frameworks to begin with and they start parroting things like "React or Svelte" but cannot write a simple javascript or an HTML form. Many cannot tell me how a form gets submitted from the client and processed through a server. Many have never written a <form> by hand.

- They are entitled just because they have a github (which mostly is a fork of a project or blank stuff)

- They don't really spend the time learning on their own. This is the biggest thing for me. You need to try and stand out from rest. doing a copied pasted github react project won't help especially when you don't understand the fundamentals.

- They don't want to compromise on "fully remote" even though they would be better off learning in person.

I am sounding rude here but just stating facts. I love to work with people who are entry level so I can teach them but unfortunately you want to be taught before you can be taught. These days, not so much. I would rather have you tell me that you want to learn but don't know much vs telling me how you can build a web app in Svelte but cannot answer basic http questions. I can smell bullshit from a mile because I have been doing this for 19 years now.
Well, TNG-era and afterwards at least. The original series was all knobs and buttons.

(Aside, in the novels they came up with a reason for this: During the Earth-Romulan war they had to go partially low-tech to avoid the Romulan telecapture technology, a technology they'd just developed to remotely hack into and control enemy starships. Apparently the design kept for ~100 years up through TOS when they finally learned more about the Romulans.)
Anonymity can be a big part of privacy, which is fairly obvious and for some people it's inside that privacy circle as a necessary component.
Yeah. I wish we lived in a world with no corruption but it's in the human nature and we need to accept it as we can't change it.

Crypto is a general stance against this by ideology but I wish there wasn't corruption and scams in crypto too.
I also want an RTS that doesn't turn into a RSI speedrun.
Your idea for APM limits is great, but my idea is that AI could handle micro.
Let Deepmind control each unit while the user gives high level commands.
Give me an AR game where I can play a skirmish RTS (or, hell, turn based) using the world around me as terrain. I want to be able to set up a virtual tabletop game in a coffee shop basically.
Give me a CaRPG with Rocket League mechanics and an open world based on platforming and racing. Slow trickle of performance and weapon upgrades for the car.

The Glass Bead Game, from the Herman Hesse novel of the same name. I could see myself really getting in to that and getting good at it.
The narrative is the thing most in need of scrutiny no matter what news you’re reading, if you are reading for the supposed informational value.

Paper and ink are not the constraints they once were and news sites clearly have bandwidth to spare given all the crap they try to force the majority of their readers to download to read one article. Hyperlinks are a core function of the web and for the New York Times, the web is their primary medium now.
Faeria, but successful
I agree it can be hard to fully comply. But I believe we should try to adhere and value the information (read: the consumers or clients).

For GDPR and any other law that enforce something on you, that it has to be reasonable for you to comply. So in my personal interpretation any data you provide and identifies should be auto deletable (a post linked to your account). If I post your PII and you request HN to delete it - they are required to delete it.

I don't think GDPR is too crazy .. but some people try to scare others because they scare to change because of making less money, ..
That's what World of Warcraft does, it has a Global Cooldown system to help account for unstable connections.

It's only 1 second or so, and lots of actions are off the GCD, but all you would need to do is extend that time and put more things on the GCD and you'd effectively get what you're looking for.

I don't think it'll slow things down as much as you're hoping for, though.
Sounds interesting. I think the web page would benefit from some examples of what code in this language looks like.

From scanning the user manual[1] it looks a lot like Prolog, but I can't see any complete example programs.

You're kinda describing EV and EV-likes.
Funny you should mention the Honda Civic...

I had a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. First year of the new model design, it had a touch sensitive volume control... After that, I think it was the 2019 and up all Honda's came with a volume knob AS A DIFFERENTIATOR because the UX was so bad without it.
Getting radicalized also has underlying causes. If everyone was at risk of this most people would be radicals, but of course most people listen to stuff like conspiracy theories and dismiss them quickly enough. Why not treat the problem in a way that focuses on this small part of the population that is susceptible to becoming radicalized? In other words, we know most people don't fall into that, so why treat everyone as a potential radical, instead of seeing what the difference is and trying to close the gap.
I leave my phone out of my bedroom. I just bring my iPad, which is disconnected from everything and has all notifications disabled. It's basically a fancy notebook and ebook reader.

In the evening, I think about what I want to do the next day in broad terms. If there isn't much to do, I'll make plans to bike somewhere or work on something specific. I might even do a bit of preliminary reading (e.g. how-tos, documentation).

When I wake up, I read a bit in bed, then have coffee and breakfast on the balcony. I won't touch my phone or laptop until I'm done with breakfast. During that time, I write down what I want to do that day. Just having that uninterrupted time makes a big difference. If I start checking emails or browsing the internet I easily get sidetracked.

I'll try to do as much meatspace work as possible before I check my phone or sit at the computer. I know that once I do that, I'm trapped for the rest of the day.

Through the day, I'll look at my daily todo list, and see what's left to do. When my productivity wanes, I try to force myself to leave the computer and go do other things. Otherwise I'll just dick around on the internet until bedtime.

Very satisfied Muse user. It's great for compiling lots of research, reading PDFs, and basically getting a good visual map of what you're learning.
I just don't trust google to not abandon it like it has most other things they made that I invested in. It's brand erosion same as what's happened with Blizzard, used to have a lot of trust, lots of disappointments later and now I go in skeptical.

Personally I think Fuchsia is cool, and there is a lot to like, but I expect to hear it was killed by google anyday now.
Run Kubernetes Tests with SoapUI
His definition of object-oriented has evolved continuously; after the 80s, mainly to try to exclude C++, judging by appearance. Smalltalk-72 does not qualify as what he today calls OO, because that requires a constrained sort of variable run-time binding -72 lacked. Some people call what -72 did "object-based".
This may show my age, but Fuchsia smells like BeOS meets OS/400.

As to why there’s so much negativity: no clue. I quite appreciate the idea of a blank slate devoid of cruft.

"Criticism from historians" is normal for everything. Historians criticize work that they even revere. The presence of academic criticism is not evidence that the NYT piece is an "ahistorical, ideology first product".

In fact, the majority of criticism from the academic community (as mentioned in the article) is the fact that the historians that were consulted on this piece weren't named in the text.

Chinese Carrier Strike Group Now Operating in East China Sea
I'd also highly endorse Suzerain - but I don't know if it's a great fit for them. Suzerain is essentially a political narrative game where the player is navigating through an amazingly deep set of pre-scheduled events and crises and trying to effect change.

It's also strongly influenced by Turkish politics, specifically the rise of Erdogan, which was a very complicated time for Turkey.
