Tower defense played from the enemy’s perspective. (This may exist, I’m not a huge gamer in my adult years.)

I imagine it as a race of sorts, potentially with the enemies being a multiplayer team and maybe rocket league esque physics/mechanics crossed with Mario kart. But, surrounding the track is an increasing level of towers that are bombarding the track. You can dodge and whatnot to survive, multitude of obstacles, ramps, power ups, etc. perhaps even a way to shoot back at the towers.

> It is a bold thing to claim that crypto mining is run on stolen power. Stolen from whom, may I ask?

It's a bit surprising to me that you that you hadn't heard about this yet. I've come across dozens and dozens of news reports on this phenomenon. There are at least three different versions how this is typically done:

A) By illegal hookups directly to the power grid, so the victim is a power company (and thereby effectively all its customers).

B) By someone who secretly runs mining rigs at, for instance, their place of work, so the company or organization is stuck with the power bill while the criminal gets to mine using "free" electricity.

C) Via Cryptojacking, i.e. by remotely installing mining malware on people's computers/devices. In this case, the power is "stolen" from whoever has to pay for the electricity bill for that particular device.

If you are interested in news reports on specific instances of this happening (and typically someone getting caught), just do a web search for "mining stolen power".

>I use a modern bank that gives me a real-time overview of my spending and categories it

You depend on your bank for this type of stuff? Isn't that basically begging for vendor lock-in? It makes far more sense to have a vendor-agnostic solution (eg. mint or personal spreadsheet), so your analytics aren't at the whims of your bank.
A credit union I used to belong, had a piece of paper hanging on the wall right next to the tellers, it had their running income monthly from overdraft fees.

Before the 2008 real estate collapse, this number was less than $100,000 per month.

During the recession, I noted it was going as high as $600,000 per month. At one location in Sunnyvale Ca.

The cumulative distance of running since 1 January of each year is not particularly meaningful. Instead, the cumulative distance in the previous 365 days for each day would be a better metric. In such a diagram it would be easier to spot in which periods the performance is above or below avarge (or any other benchmark).
A massive online game where one person is "The Beast" and thousands of villagers are tasked at slaying the beast. The Beast can choose between a multitude of powers without the others knowing what these powers are. The villagers can choose from a multitude of tools / weapons in order to slay the beast.

Once selected, these are locked in and concludes what both sides have to work with. If the villagers don't have the right tool set(s), it may be impossible for them to win.

From there, it's all about defining the powers of both sides.

Just because you can separately verify that something is secure later does not mean that it's secure at the time of the download. Browsers show that a website is securely encrypted once they've been able to verify it. It's entirely proper for them to show that a download is insecure before they've been able to verify it.

If you get a phone call from an unknown caller, do you get mad at your phone for listing that as an unknown caller just because you could theoretically add that number to your contact list later? Or to talk directly about PGP, do you get mad when you see an untrusted/unknown key warning because theoretically you could add that key to your keyring later after verifying it yourself? Of course not.

The browser is telling you that at that moment, the code/download you are getting is insecure. If you take that code/download out of the browser and verify it separately, then great! But that doesn't mean the browser was wrong. If anything, insecure connection prompts should be a welcome reminder to you that you need to externally validate the data you're receiving.

> That's the only difference.

The difference is that one of them happens inside the browser, and one of them doesn't.
I never understood this kind of vitriol against Thiel. The media has been smearing his image because he didn’t fit into the mold of their political agenda.

I suggest listening to his interviews with a completely open mind and thinking on your own. I sometimes disagree with him but in no way he is evil/satanic as media portrays him. Sad.
I am absolutely delighted to see Sheldon Brown's website posted on HN! It is an incredible resource.
R: A small subset of Python Requests
As I understand it, what you’re asking for is fundamentally incompatible with the paradigm itself (at least in a clean way).

The whole programming experience of declarative UIs is predicated on the fact that you’re manipulating lightweight structs (really just state representations) that are rendered into heavyweight views by the system only where necessary (determined by diffing the state changes).

React’s refs are an attempted answer to this very problem, and they get nasty fast.
I recall a Car Talk episode many years ago where the discussion about BMW’s big knob for multiple functions was filled with negative statements. Tactile feedback and navigation were issues.
Can they reboot the U.S. Dollar while they are at it?
I understand how the way the original comment phrased things sounded, to your ears, like "at least 24 hours should pass between reboots," which is not what was intended. And your suggestion, "at least once every 24 hours," would be perfectly acceptable and idiomatic English.

However, "at least every 24 hours" is also perfectly acceptable and idiomatic English. It is very common in English to use this construction, "at least every X time period," to mean "X often or more often." If you say, "I make sure to call my distant relatives at least every year," you mean with that frequency or more. If you say, "I make sure to stand up and stretch at least every hour," you mean with that frequency or more. If you say, "these machines are required to reboot at least every 24 hours," you mean with that frequency or more.

In other words, "at least" does not qualify the number of hours (such that more hours would also be acceptable), but the frequency (such that greater frequency would also be acceptable).

Hopefully this response helps you to understand why English, fickle language that it is, works this way in this case.
Your mention of modular arithmetic makes me draw a connection between this story and the way I think about ceiling fan pull chains.

Suppose the fan is clearly starting on high and you want to turn it off, but you don't know if the order of settings is "high-low-off", or "high-medium-low-off" (three states or four).

It's often difficult to tell if the fan is coasting off or just spinning down to low. If you get it wrong and pull one time too many, it goes back to high and you have to start over.

Therefore I always pull fan chains eleven (11) times to turn them off, so that I don't have to know if it's a three or four state fan. (Also works for on-off pull chains.) Pulling the chain 59 times would extend this technique to cover five-state fans, but I've never encountered one.
You’re comment and a sibling both express that these messages are off-putting to international audiences? Why is that?

BLM originated in the US, but black people definitely experience racism elsewhere. The movement is not necessarily US exclusive.

I think it was designed to break up app development into large, relatively unskilled, teams. The traditional UIKit model (and, I suspect, the SwiftUI model) is for small (maybe single IC), skilled, teams.
Do you mind explaining exactly what animations would take that much work? I’m struggling to see how animations could ever take as long as estimated for UIKit

I would like something missions-like where the game rewards only a player who took specific steps and then other players can't reproduce. Obviously it will require thousands of good rewards. The idea is that people can play for the sake of having something nobody can get.

I have Streaks app set up on my laptop, phone and watch. I try to earn five dots each day: remembering medication, morning work routine, noon work routine, afternoon work routine, evening exercise. The dots remind me if I forget to do any of them.

For each of the three work routines I have a short TODO list in Logseq. After I complete the list I mark the dot in Streaks.

Each item in the routine TODO lists is short and easy to do, such as “check email”, “do 40 pushups”, or “decide what’s tomorrow’s big task”. One of the items is the question “do I want to change any of my routines?”

The trick for me is to keep the real work separated from the routines. Routines should be simple. Real work at its best is complex and varying and does not lend itself easily to routines.

Wow, what a great question -- it seems like everyone here has been sitting on a wish list for a while. :) Here's one of mine:

Ever since reading Foundation's Edge and Foundation and Earth as a kid, I've thought some elements of that story would make a great game. The player plays an archaeologist in the distant future trying to unravel the mysteries of humanity's origins -- a galaxy-scale adventure of exploration and discovery where a rich tapestry of future history is slowly revealed. As a bonus, such a game could be very positive and not even require violence like many other games. :)

I miss the time when modding tools were released by the devs and community servers were all the rage.

You would find a sever close to your location with a low ping and casually game in the evenings. At least 1/2 of the sever population were regulars. Modding was simple and encouraged. No DLCs.

I feel like I grew up during the golden age of gaming and my kids won’t get the same experience.

I had idea for such game, but it was meant to be realized as a 2d space sim. If you want your ship fleet to survive during logoff, you need to hide it somewhere in deep space between star systems (via series of semi-random jumps so no one tails you, unless they put stealthy tracker on your ships) or in a defended space station with some automatic defenses. You can design and make any ship or station you want, you just need to have enough matter for fabricator machines plus they take time and resources to build/repair. You have a hundred star systems with physically correct size and resources, plus lightyears of empty space between them.

> The new law also allows officials to approach specific individuals—such as key employees within a company—with these demands, rather than the institution itself. In practice, they can force the engineer or IT administrator in charge of vetting and pushing out a product's updates to undermine its security. In some situations, the government could even compel the individual or a small group of people to carry this out in secret. Under the Australian law, companies that fail or refuse to comply with these orders will face fines up to about $7.3 million. Individuals who resist could face prison time.

I've heard of some success with this where people using mods on minecraft to implement economies on private servers.

But yes, sandbox MMO's were a different beast than the themepark MMO's we have today, I had high hopes for Everquest Next when it was announced (like ten years ago now) but it ended up vaporware I guess, and that was the last I've heard of anyone actually trying. I guess metaverse might count but I've mostly ignored anything that facebook tries to do.

Something like Age of Empires, but with specialize cooperative play, ie one (or more) player manages and defends the base/economy, and other players command different armies that are part of the same team.

Bullet voting is an overblown “weakness” of Approval and Score. “I only voted for my honest favorite” is not a huge drawback, IMO. Nevertheless, in the actual municipal elections using Approval Voting in St. Louis and Fargo, voters on average approved of more than one candidate. And in Score there is incentive to use middle ratings because not doing so increases the probability that a popular candidate you're lukewarm on gets overtaken by a candidate you deeply dislike.

The value of STAR voting is that it reduces even further the incentive to bullet vote. By introducing a Condorcet-esque runoff of the top two finalists, every voter is strongly incentivized to use meaningful middle scores in order to have a say in the outcome of the runoff.

IRV/RCV, on the other hand, can punish voters for voting honestly. The more viable candidates there are in the field, the more likely your top ranking for your honest favorite will result in benefitting your least preferred. Given that one of the qualities most every election reform advocate wants is to see a larger field packed with viable candidates, this drawback of IRV is especially detrimental.

Proper treasury management for raised funds is something that needs done by everyone regardless of the business they’re in.

In the non crypto world orgs usually hold short term t-bills or other cash equivalents to help offset inflation. In the crypto space I see a lot of teams holding stablecoins, which is similar. Some hold their entire allocation in something super volatile which is a bad idea in the same way it’s a bad idea to take VC money and buy Tesla stock with it or gamble on GME options.

IMO treasury management is just another risk to manage as part of a business. If not managed properly you go out of business and if it’s because you were dumb with VC money by betting it all on Bitcoin then you likely won’t get more VC money again.
Good points. Some mechanical version can also change the buttons, faders and knobs positions to presets when they have automation circuits, this has been a thing since the late 70s. So you get the best of both worlds.

One important aspect is that with tactile controls one barely needs presets, though, except for recall. Mixing done from scratch is quite fast, even when compared to presets, so I would argue that there is a significant tradeoff when going digital.
