It's quite a bit different experience working on an app by yourself and working on an app that has several hundred thousand lines of code that 10+ people are working on simultaneously. I've worked with a bunch of people that are complaining in this and the problems you face are quite a bit different.

Your app looks sharp though I like it.
Yeah it fits perfectly.

I think my point might have been missed. Web3 doesn’t require blockchain, paying to use it, tokens, etc. As coined the term merely means internet services that are more robust. People that prefer web2 (paying for Netflix) will continue to use it and people that prefer web3 (stuff like torrenting)

Just because you don’t see a use for blockchain technology doesn’t mean there isn’t one for somebody on the other side of the world in different circumstances.
Wait, it went from 1.3M LOC to 6.5K? Was the UI layer really that bloated or are you counting the 3rd party dependencies? I envy you the 3 months without adding any "customer value" (not joking, I'd love that).
This is almost like a cross between Pikmin and Little Nightmares. Cool idea.

This is an admirable position, and one of my biggest problems with GDPR. Honestly, my only problem with it.

The EU does not have the legal jurisdiction to tell any company based outside of the EU what to do with its data, whether that data is about EU citizens or not.

If I ran a SaaS I would probably do the same thing as you (out of respect for my customers) but I certainly wouldn't feel any legal compulsion to do so.
Weird thought but one where it is a simulation of the world/(the player) makes real money.

As in you could clock in/do a job in this 3D environment. I realize probably not efficient but it would be for say bed ridden/disabled people that can use their brain but not their body.
The mid-game lerk and fade gameplay versus shotgun marines favours skilled players a lot.

A good lerk can soften up marines forever and a good fade has little reason to die while continually getting kills everytime it leaves the hive.

A good shotgun or rifle marine can cancel out 2-3 alien skulk players every wave. The skilled dominate midgame.

The end-game onos stomp and xeno ganeplay versus exo and jetpacks levels out the skill required across players and becomes more enjoyable for everyone. Though games rarely get there without demoralizing everyone midgame.

It's strange to me that the skill required peaks midgame and endgame is full of stunlock mechanics, tanky units and suicide tactics.

I would put the highest skill mechanics on display in the end game so everyone has a good time before the domination of skill kicks in.

It's still active, 4-5 servers in the US full every night and a bunch of UK, Euro and chinese servers. One aussie server.

Hi! GitHub PM here! We're looking at rethinking the home page to be most useful to people beyond the feed. How do you remember the repos to go to? Do you also have to go to other primitives on GitHub and if so do you rely on browser history? Would love to hear more about your workflow - if easiest please follow up via email siminapasat <at> github.com. I appreciate your input! Thanks :)
> While I have some criticisms, most of the historical facts are correct. There are places where I could nitpick, but most of the facts are solid. I think the problems with the articles are in tone and in conclusions.

Agreed, the difficulty is way too low. I actually wouldn't mind if they literally made it realistic - get hit by one bullet and you're dead. I'd also like to see them experiment more with social engineering. Something like LA Noir, with branching conversations, where you have to talk your way into a scenario instead of sneaking in. Make the kills feel much more personal.
Recently, I've received an email from Google saying that my account was going to be switched over from Canada to US. I created my account in Canada and moved to the US 7 years ago. Google determined that since I mainly access my account from the US now that the "ownership" of my account should be transferred to Google US from Google Canada.
I like to use the VSCode extension for this, ASCIIDecorator. It's good for having readable text in the Minimap.
No, and for me the problem is the following. I (can) have a variant of microKanren embedding in my environment, but the microKanren interface is rather inconvenient to use. miniKanren would be better, but to implement miniKanren in other languages is a bigger problem - actually I hoped to get some help with that using this annotation article.
True, it does depend on familiarity. I haven't used Vue but it seems like a decent option.

> because I choose to pay using debit cards

This is not a very smart way to do things. You'd be much better off getting a credit card with no fees and rewards points, buying everything with that, and then paying it off every month. You'll have stronger legal protections on your purchases, and you'll earn reward money without paying any extra. You can even pay off your bill with the reward points. And as a bonus you'll build up your credit score, which can affect you in lots of ways unrelated to loan rates.
I don't know. Googling, I was able to come up with some examples, but I've never seen them in real life despite growing up in a farming community.

My speculation: you only harvest in dry weather (so traction differences don't matter), and harvesting goes faster than say tilling, so maybe tires are preferred. You'll also see big fleets of combines going down the road to the next field; I think tracked vehicles are frowned upon on public roads.
> It still blows my mind that 007 Golden Eye existed as a popular game at the same time with Starsiege: Tribes when they were worlds apart in quality and gameplay.

I agree with your overall sentiment, but I do think that GoldenEye was relatively more accessible in terms of MSRP and technical setup.
How to blog about code and give zero fucks (2013)
Lots of local devices already do such a lookup and there's a whole class of vulnerabilities based on it (DNS rebinding and friends).

I'd personally classify 192.168/16, 172.16/12, 10/8, 127/8, fe80/10, and ::1 as local networks, but that's simply not always the case. There are tons of universities and even business out there that use publicly routable addresses for clients and that approach is even the default for IPv6. You could be tempted to use the local network range as a "local" network but there are plenty of networks out there where that would mark foreign networks as "local". Then there are those who use 1.0.0.0/8 for local addresses because that subnet was previously unused and the 10 range already had a separate meaning.

Just verifying that .something (.local is already reserved, you shouldn't use it for internal device names even though it'll probably work) matches an internal IP doesn't add any security. You might as well mark HTTP to local IP addresses as a secure origin and not mess with certificates at all. I don't th9nk that's a very good idea.

With IPv6, there's a solution to this problem. You can provision certificates to globally unique IP addresses and possibly their hostname. I don't think there's a solution for IPv4 on most local networks, though.

These are all valid and sensible solutions if you are building a greenfield system. But GDPR applies to all systems, even those that were build years before its inception and the developers of whose could not in a million years have imagined that one day some crazy bureaucrats would criminalize logging IPs. Now think about even a moderately sized enterprise, that runs gazillions of individual apps (in-house, vendor-provided and SaaS), and the work required to auditting all the places you need clean when you want to delete all logs containing one IP.

And that's just one small aspect of becoming fully compliant, there are millions of other types of surprising data that can be PII, and hence a liability, under GDPR. Email and IM apps, like Slack, are another interesting conundrum. Under GDPR, a customer should be able to request that all emails and Slack messages that contain/discuss his/her personal information must be a) discoverable and b) erasable. How do you even begin to solve that is beyond me..

A single player rpg where I wasn't the most important/powerful person in the world. Something with NPCs interacting with each other and affecting the in-game world entirely independent of my actions. NPCs could collaborate with me or compete with me depending on their goals.
Wasn't Star Citizen supposed to have this?

... among the million other things it was supposed to have.
My disdain for Origins is just about Brad Wardell's treatment of Fred and Paul and his complete disregard for which rights he purchased versus which he didn't. And that really hurt because I liked Stardock so much - I remember reading something about how he built the original Galactic Civilizations and each ship was its own window due to how he misunderstood the system, and I really admired the pragmatism and get-things-done attitude. And then he was a massive jerk to these other people I think are cool.

The game itself was lovely. The writing was good. The art was good. The combat was fine. The lander and everything adjacent to it was frustrating; not only did it bounce around like a caffeine-addled pigeon, the things you'd do with the resources were not satisfying. The game was short, but it was supposed to be a platform upon which other people would build using a campaign editor, and then the entire community hated Stardock and nobody wanted to create more content.
I'd like to see more games that reward altruism. A mechanic that might achieve this is a game in which the player who wins is the one who's closest to median number of points between all players at the end.
Maybe a boring answer, but free software versions of games I enjoyed in the past are mostly what I want.

Graal Online, Maplestory, Terraria, Starbound, Minecraft (there are a few clones already), Rust, CS:GO, Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Rockman.exe, maybe something like Prototype or Ultimate Spider-Man with fun physics so you can swing around and do whatever.

A free recreation of Graal Online would be especially cool as the content was all player-made with the available development tools. They just let the PC version of the game wither and die. If someone just made a solid base, a community could form to make the actual stuff to do. I've heard people compare Graal to BYOND/SS13, although I never experienced those. There's SS14 now, but it seems pretty focused on... space station stuff. I don't know that it's similar enough to Graal for me.
Myths & Legends MMORPG

A replica of our planet, where you can play as either a hero or creature from ancient mythology. Your choice is limited by your location, so you can learn about the stories of cultures that previously inhabited your location.

Who or what you are affects the world around you, and players could join to expand their 'nation' into other countries, giving birth to new mythological creatures and heros based on how the cultures mix.

A giant but fun mythology lesson, effectively!
The {weekly,monthly,quarterly,yearly,whatever} review is where you do this sort of work. It's true that in GTD itself there's no concept of "priority" directly; it does exist implicitly in the difference between a "project" and "someday/maybe" lists. Prioritizing a project means it's a project, not on the list, and deprioritizing one means moving it to the someday/maybe list. Same with deleting tasks, if it's not useful, just delete it.
Good catch. Fixed with an extra ZStack.

you want an RTMP or FTL server. a source (e.g. something like obs studio, or gstreamer/ffmpeg from command line, or even directly from some action cams like gopro) can publish a video stream, and clients (vlc player, for instance) receive the video as a broadcast (UDP RTP/RTCP, ideally). the protocol handles codecs and keeping the clients in sync (the clients will usually lag slightly behind the source, though -- FTL tries to minimize this). this is how live streams work on twitch/youtube/facebook/etc (except they have to do the media over HTTPS with something like HLS or WebRTC).

for instance, project lightspeed (unaffiliated) is a batteries-included self-hosted FTL streaming server and web client that was posted as a "show hn" some time back.

One of my favorite games is Lords of the Realm II (1996). It's a medieval 4X game with turn-based county management and real time battles. I've always wanted a game on that framework, but with way more complex management, and battles where you can zoom in to play a single soldier, or zoom out to play tactics.
It's something more old-fashioned than modern economics, it's a kind of moral-political economics. Which, I agree, lines up quite well with what Bitcoin is, as a project. A

The problem with the moral premises of this world view is their feudalist concequences, for reasons unknown to me, utopians of this type think that if a premise is true that they dont need to think about concequences.

In this case, if individualism is true, then feudalism cant possibly follow. But reality doesnt follow "ideas" in this sense.

If we create a system of individual ownership of fixed resources (land, crypto, etc.) then the few there first owns everything, and hence, feudalism.

I dont take this sort of "moral economics" seriously, since its not itself a serious sort of either morality, politics or economics. Its an attempt to deduce utopia from naive ridigid principles.
The unlocking is (with one exception, afaik) entirely through the player's knowledge rather than advancing "skill levels" across reboots, though. Which is an excellent choice for this game, but the other might also be interesting.
Ironically, like media outlets often says about people online, it does not matter how good the rebuttal is if 5,000 people see it and millions read what it disproves. The damage is already done.
Seconding this. The late-game diplomacy is pretty weak. But the combat/warcraft components are top-notch.

> Actually, I recall being able to haggle prices at hotels before the online booking sites became prominent.

On family trips in the 90s, I'm pretty sure my dad almost never paid the asking price for our rooms. If you were coming in from about the mid-evening on, without a reservation, but they still had some rooms unlikely to be filled, and there were any other hotels with vacancies around, they'd gladly knock off a few dollars if you asked, since the alternative was likely having $0 of income for that room, that night.

What I've noticed traveling more recently is that there seem to be fewer vacancies if you try that "just show up and find a room" thing (which used to almost always work out fine, except at extremely popular places on very busy travel weeks), like the whole industry's running with way less slack (i.e. more efficiently). But also room prices have gone batshit crazy, even more so than general inflation, so the savings from that efficiency doesn't seem to be reaching customers.
I want an ethic around team-based multiplayer games.

Games like League of Legends, Overwatch, DotA, etc. are amazing in terms of their strategic depth, variety, and power fantasy. However, the culture around them consistently gets to a narrow-minded, unfun state. What's needed is something like the ideal of "sportsmanship" in real-life sports.
Coincidentally, I've never played Torment and installed it just 2 days ago.

Disco's world is depressing, but because the world is so dark, any light in the game stands out so much more. It's depressing world make good people in it and any small kindness matter.

What to do with no work history for 4 years?
Hi HN, I have been unemployed for 4 years, one year voluntary and following caused by illness. What is the best way to cover my lack of employment without discussing the disability that caused it when going for an interview? Looking particularly for mainly entry level jobs. What's the best excuse for the lapse of time not spent working or studying?
It's been years since I read the book, and I was surprised I still had it (my wife had me do a major purge of the library a couple years back, this one apparently made the cut).

Priorities are discussed in chapter 9. Deleting tasks is discussed in chapter 8 (along with the weekly review).

Same. I toyed with a bit for a networking stack but outside of that I haven't found anything super useful. I never went into production with it, the code I re-wrote was definitely cleaner but it wasn't really mind blowingly better that I felt the need to pursue it further.
I was a paid customer, and I still support ProtonMail's mission, but the app experience drove me to cancel my paid subscription and go with FastMail instead. The mobile client and desktop were never in sync; I'd swipe an email to archive and it'd show back up in the inbox, etc. It happened time and time and time again and I got sick of it having to clean up after their messy app.
Checked it out just now and pulled to trigger on it. Definitely what I was looking for in regard to the first.
I'm not sure if simply presenting the facts is a viable business model for most news organizations. User attention and advertisements are what they sell, not information.

The student who enters the classroom has an IQ that follows the same distribution of intelligence of any of the other students. Therefore, one student out of the 145 must have the highest intelligence and the chances that it is student #4, #30, #100, or #145 is the same.

Here is some python code you can run. You can change around the distribution however you want and you'd get the same exact results. The chance that a particular record is the highest in a set of IID variables is not dependent on the distribution itself.

from numpy import random
RecordsSet=0
TotalSimulations=365000
for i in range(0,TotalSimulations):
ClassRoomSample = random.normal(100, 15, 144)
RecordIQ = max(ClassRoomSample)
NewStudentIQ = random.normal(100, 15, 1)
if NewStudentIQ>RecordIQ:
RecordsSet=RecordsSet+1

print(100*float(1)/145)
print(100*float(RecordsSet)/TotalSimulations)

A record is set 1 out of every 145 days/classes. Which means in a year/school of 365 days/classes you'd expect a bit more than 2 records on average.
> I think it's a pretty arrogant stance to say that just because you don't see the value in a thing that value doesn't exist. I don't see the value in Tiktok/Facebook/Snapchat, but others clearly do. Maybe it just wasn't built for me

No, you just don’t appreciate the value of those social media services. If you don’t see it then you’re blind. They let people connect and share stuff they enjoy seeing. It’s fine if you don’t like it, but the use case is obvious.

What is the use case for crypto. Do you have a vision for it?

A grey-hat method of dealing with this would be to dispute it with Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian and choose a plausible dispute reason ("I never knew about it" or whatever). Regardless of the merits of the claim, it's likely their "investigation" will resolve in your favor and they'll just remove it (and your score will bounce back immediately).

It doesn't necessarily feel great... but remember that you're literally just a number that they couldn't care less about.
