Heh. I see we've gotten to the point where you switch from arguing the point to questioning my qualifications. Gross.

I guess that means I should return the insult: Showing a few examples of ugly formatting doesn't prove that curly-braced languages are that way "everywhere". And besides, other than the one silly example from Zstandard, which many people would agree is unusual, you didn't even show examples of curly braces. Even with all the different styles of C people use, the block structure is pretty consistent. You're either being deceptive or you need work on your logic skills.

Go ahead and grab the last word if you want it, but I think we've gotten away from anything good in this discussion.

Weird analysis.

I mean, if you believe the analysis, then what you must conclude is that lock-down, isolation and masks cause more COVID mortality? Since this seems hard to believe, then the conclusion is that Sweden performance must be unrelated, surely?
The fuel is actually cooler for NTR than chemical. With chemical, the peak heat can occur in the gaseous state away from anything solid, but for conventional nuclear thermal, the peak heat is generated in solid material and needs to conduct through to fluids, which are therefore at lower temperatures.

And the way they handle shut down is they continue a small flow of propellant through the engine until the core cools off and the hottest, shortest lived stuff decays away. NTRs usually run for a few hours at most, not years, so the decay heat a few minutes after shutdown isn’t that bad.
Good list, but the closest thing to a mass shooting after 1996 is a familicide with 7 killed [1]. It doesn't really compare to the Port Arthur massacre.

The US has 400 million guns. Good luck with that, they'll take you away before you take them away.

It's a liberal voter delusion that the 2% of US guns in the hands of the military and police can be used to take away the 98% of guns owned by people who want to keep them. And it is a voter delusion, because the Democratic party wouldn't even be able to get the votes within its own party if there were a chance in hell of it passing, and they know it. It's just a wedge issue. It's effective because the upper-middle class liberal base can imagine themselves being affected by a mass shooting, so they care about it.

Mass shootings are a media boon, because they know that they don't have to do any work for the next week, just dust off all of the timeless partisan nonsense that they published during the last one. Right now a bunch of right-wing outlets are doing the same thing, and gun sales are about to go up.
FYI we didn't "confiscate" them. It was a buyback for any guns you didn't register. I am anti guns. But after living in the US for more than a decade I acknowledge a mandatory buyback program wouldn't work here. For idealogical, practical and economic reasons.

The USA is the largest manufacturer of guns in the world. And the domestic market is important to their business. In Australia we don't manufacture guns, so it's easy for us to say no more gun imports.

If people in the US want their guns, then whatever. But can we at least apply some degree of responsibility? It should not be easier to buy a gun than get drivers license. And make it difficult to get weapons which can cause outsized damage. We must acknowledge that all guns are not created equal. Some guns can kill more in a shorter period than others. If the lethality of a weapon doesn't matter then why can't we go buy tomahawk missiles or a tactical nuke. Personally I'd like an M1 Abrams Tank for self defense.
I feel sorry for you, but in your position, my absolute first priority would be finding sales from sources other than Google. They're a private company and they have no obligation to you whatsoever.
So, Micro Machines but in 3D with aircraft? This sounds great.
The downvoting thing is interesting.. I fairly often upvote comments with 0 if they haven't said anything bad or objectionable just to make things more fair.

The mods on subreddits are a problem too. There is no recourse. If they decide to ban you for any reason, that's the end of it, even if no rule has been broken. If you message modmail to ask for more information, they can just mute you from messaging modmail.

I spend enough time on Reddit that I think the bots excuse is overblown. I think there's just that many stupid people now who are too busy to think or read at a meaningful level. Social media by default encourages reaction (upvotes and quick comments) as opposed to reflection. Conservatives have been doing a much better job of reaching younger people imo the past ten years, too

This gave me the cool idea of a kind of recursive/fractal game where there is the main game you can play by itself but the devs keep it open for people to slot in sub games for the bits they've simplified.

So if Factorio did this you could play as normal, or play the fractal version where you can go in and control the mine or anything else. Maybe there'd even be sub parts in the mine like repairing machinery or something. The full range of macro-micromanaging would be pretty interesting.

Not if you have an American Express card. Interchange is capped only if there's more than 3 parties to the transaction, which is not the case on AmEx.
The spreading of overly-simplistic black and white perspectives like this are why so many good, but nuanced, policies are politically dead in the water.

As with eliminating gun violence, there are plenty of solutions to drunk driving that don't involve eliminating alcohol from the equation, but they require that politicians and their constituents have the political will to try them.

What your saying is funny and sounds good, but is not contributing meaningfully to the conversation of how to solve these problems that need solving.

Hey @bredren! Yeah, I agree that this makes for a nice user experience. This is how the paid VideoMentions.com service works- users can search for channels by name or keywords, without the need to paste in URLs. It looks like this: https://cloudup.com/cUgKqErcx8G

That auto-complete lookup requires spending a finite number of API calls, though, which is why it’s restricted to customers and not available on this freely accessible VideoMentions Search page.

Thanks for checking it out, and for your feedback!
Great sketching app! But unrelated to Muse, which is a thinking workspace focused on text, PDFs, links, and images. The ink annotations and ability to sketch are a minor feature.

I always find it simple minded to say something like "slavery is responsible for America's wealth" when America has a half dozen other major things going for it. That's what turns would be sympathizers off is the hyperbola and that they are coming for your wallet "you goddamn POS colonizer". Yeah sorry that doesn't work except in the that 1-5% of extremists. I see the need for social programs for those areas which are poor and have been hidden from wealthier parts of America whether white, black, or brown. We don't need to be communist to fix what ails us, just be compassionate, there is far more than enough prosperity to spread it around starting domestically at first.

Not wanting a subscription does not imply not wanting to pay for software.

I bought Typora, and would buy a paid upgrade for it. Same for Things. When the software needs improvement I’ll pay for that value. I will not pay monthly for the privilege of using the software that isn’t changing.

I absolutely will not even consider paying for a subscription to access my own research. When I don’t pay Typora, I can still access every document I’ve written. It’s unclear to me from the information presented if I will even be able to access my Muse boards if the company goes out of business.
More importantly, it's very difficult to block ads on a mobile app. Reddit's problem is that the vast majority of their "power users" use adblockers and therefore provide zero revenue. Mobile also makes it much easier to doom scroll for hours a day, key to facebook's success.

As far as I can tell reddit's website provides minimal income and is just an ad for their app.
The article I'm responding to is about Australia confiscating (and banning) guns. That is hardly a "nuanced" policy and (I claim) is equivalent to banning alcohol to stop drunk driving deaths.
I'm wondering if part of that is that the companies producing these awful interfaces don't see themselves as 'software' companies, so they put these things in but no one has the time or passion or interest to make it a better experience.

Not saying they'd definitely be good if only some one loved 'em, but judging from the car touch screens I've used I believe no one has tried yet.
Yeah, things that were powerful micro in StarCraft I, such as moving marines apart to reducing incoming splash damage, can be done automatically by the AI (either with formation commands or with “incoming baneling, spread out”).

A 2-d circa original NES jrpg video game version of ICE Middle Earth Role Playing TTRP game using all the ICE source material. Not the garbage LOTR console video games that horribly emulate the movies, but an immersive world setting of Middle Earth with non-trilogy storylines and open-world play. It can't be done due to copyrights and trademarks, but it would be awesome and I've thought for decades of creating it for personal play, but I think that would take a single non-game dev forever to build. Just going to have to dust off original NES Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy on the NES...
Its not a typo but describes a product difference. ELT is a common term for a new type of data eng workflow that isn't mapped to ETL. In most ELT products the raw data is loaded into and then transformed by the data warehouse tool. As opposed to the ETL pipelines many of us are used to where the data gets transformed in a separate process before being dropped into the DW.
There are definitely advantages to that kind of lifestyle. Also, it makes it much easier every time you move to a different house/apartment.
And when the engineering might lead to more B12 instead, should we instead go out and hunt for our food?
They aren’t the only ones using ELT instead of ETL. I hear they are different but I have no motivation to even Wikipedia the topic to find out.

I agree with you but in response to:

A tactile button has far fewer accuracy issues with positioning: if you can feel the button, you won't start pressing 2/3 off and then get further and further off until you're triggering something else, as happens all the time on touchscreens.

I gotta mention that I have a circa 2000 Japanese luxury car and the dials that control the stereo and the air conditioning are actually remarkably unpredictable. Turning the knob at all quickly will disorient the system and you can have a large increase in value or no-increase-at all (it seems to be an artifact of the knob changing a digital value). If you look carefully and move slowly they work but they essentially have all the drawbacks you describe with a touch screen - except you can't do something else entirely, thankfully. Obviously, better design would fix this so one does have to say "properly designed knobs are better".
I personally would argue that shipping (and being available) > than purely looking like it's 100% platform specific. But it's your app, and congrats on the success so far.

> The study ... found that vaccination... reduced the risk of death by 34% and the risk of getting long COVID by 15% [...] However, vaccines were shown to be most effective in preventing some of the most worrisome manifestations of long COVID — lung and blood-clotting disorders

The above numbers really seem unclear: the (meager) "one third reduction in risk of death" makes little sense. Please also see the quote from the abstract, at the bottom.

> 8% to 12% of vaccinated people with breakthrough infections may develop long COVID

> [Within t]he records... maintained by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the nation's largest integrated health-care delivery system[, t]he researchers examined data of 113,474 unvaccinated COVID-19 patients and 33,940 vaccinated patients who had experienced COVID-19 breakthrough infections, all from Jan. 1 through Oct. 31, 2021

> Compared... with a prepandemic control group ... people who had breakthrough COVID-19 faced significantly higher risks of death and illnesses such as heart and lung diseases, neurological conditions and kidney failure

Original research article: Ziyad Al-Aly, Long COVID after breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection, Nature Medicine https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-022-01840-0

From the abstract:

> [W]whether breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection (BTI) in vaccinated people results in post-acute sequelae is not clear. [...] Compared to people with SARS-CoV-2 infection who were not previously vaccinated (n = 113,474), people with BTI exhibited lower risks of death (HR = 0.66, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.74) and incident post-acute sequelae (HR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.82, 0.89)

What you could do is try sign on to pickup services, or if you have a team of friends perhaps sign onto leagues. I normally just solo queue ranked games in Dota and sportsmanship is... lacking, as you say.

Sometimes, though, some people in our scene (South Africa dota players) will start up the FACEIT pickup hub and we'll have ~100 somewhat active people playing in a more serious league that lasts a couple months before things peter out. I much prefer that over typical ranked dota, even if things still sometimes get messy.

> It doesn't matter if the value is leaked, because it's meaningless to another process- like a file descriptor, it's just an entry in a table in the kernel, so it can only be used by the process it was granted to.

No, this is incorrect. Let's just quote wikipedia,

> A capability (known in some systems as a key) is a communicable, unforgeable token of authority.

communicable. It is practically the whole point that you can say "hey, here's a capability I have, now you have it".

Yes, it matters deeply if a capability is leaked. To name something is to authorize something, in capabality land.

No, you do not need to ask for it to be transferred. As with file descriptors in linux you can fork to delegate (or otherwise pass the handle around). Again, it is fundamental to capabilities that the capability is the authorization.

Dropbox's approach is faithful. And, in order to deal with these limitations of capability systems, Paper supports ACLs as well as capabilities. I think it's going to be a huge problem if Fuschia doesn't, but I don't know what they do - certainly some sort of MAC is desirable.
I really have a thing for transport simulation games. When I was young I played a lot of Transport Tycoon, but it was a bit too heavy on trains. You could just use trains everywhere and be done with it. Also it's nearly 30 years old, I want perty graphics on my 4K monitor.

I played a lot of Cities in Motion 2, and really loved it. You can't just use trains (as they are expensive), you need to build a complete transportation network with feeder routes and use different modes of transport. The only issues were it is a little buggy, the UI was a little complex, and performance really tanked once your city got to a certain size (because Unity).

Cities Skylines was meant to be CiM 3 mixed with SimCity, but they really nerfed the transport mechanics there IMO. As a overall city simulator it's great, but as a transport simulator not so much.

Transport Fever just feels like a TTD clone with prettier graphics and worse game mechanics.
This pipeline is the most competitive IMO. It's primarily megacorps, banks and consulting firms (BCG, [edit: not Mckinsey!,] Palantir) that want to hire college grads seasonally. To fit into their criteria you've graduated with a degree in CS, math or physics (or otherwise proved exceptional technical skill) at a top 40 public/private school and you've been doing official internships at large companies every summer during college.

Anyone who doesn't fit that mold fairly closely isn't going to get anywhere with the kind of companies that have a seasonal pipeline for new grads. (My point corroborated by a sibling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31508438).

There may always be exceptions of course. And there's no harm in trying.

But if you have an unconventional education your best bet IMO is small local companies who are in general desperate for anyone with any skill, some dedication and intelligence.

Mars Colony RTS could be an ancient back story to my game ...

A code is entered. Everything goes white, then off-white. A bit of orange sky and ground shows up. Sand. There is sand everywhere, on the ground and in the sky. It would get in your eyes, if you had eyes. The sand is blowing and going everywhere.

Something black slowly emerges beneath the blowing sand. It's fixed in the ground like a black hatch. As more sand blows a little more of the black hatch is revealed. There are tiny lines and squares not quite visible on the surface of the hatch. It's not a hatch at all. It's a solar panel buried in the sand.

Days pass, and just enough sunlight filters through, and magically somewhere below a machine has come to life. It has activated itself. It is unknown how long the machine has been buried beneath the sand.

Within a few weeks, the machine is visible. It is only partially buried. You have a choice. There are controls on the machine. It is not just a machine but appears to be a vehicle as well. Forward, left, right and reverse are the basic controls. You press forward and a gentle whirring noise starts, but the machine is stuck in the sand. You press reverse and the entire vehicle jiggles a bit but nothing more.

Maybe back and forth? You toggle between pressing forward and reverse. And, after a bit of this the machine starts to move a little more than jiggle. But, it slows. You've used a little too much power. A few more weeks pass and you can try again.

The batteries or whatever is powering this unit seem to be very low. But, you try again anyways to wiggle the machine out from being stuck in the sand. There really is no one else around. The sky, the ground, the sand, and this little vehicle with a solar panel on top of it. Today the machine seems to move a little more. And, over the weeks of recharging, more of the sand has blown away. You notice one other smaller button off to the side of the main movement controls. You press it, and an elaborate console appears.
