What kind of work are you doing with async/await that is so improved? Very interested in what kind of code on the client that is.
Cities: skylines but with no private transport - no regular roads etc.

Also, more scope for political economic choices, in particular state owned enterprises, cooperatives, etc. There's real world evidence they behave differently in how they invest, weather recessions, and so on.

It'd be neat to be able to build trade links with different partner countries who have ideological outlooks, too.

> but a power cycle is generally step one for almost all debugging

If you're not the sysadmin and the debugging relates to a production server, stop power cycling it and causing it to fsck on the way up while I'm trying to actually fix it tho lmao. Bonus points: you're frying all the information I need to actually see what is going wrong, now I'm digging in logs and monitoring graphs hoping to catch a clue

Definitely not something that happened repeatedly this morning, haha
Idk where you're from, but people are definitely struggling in the US relative to the system they're stuck in, and "first world problems" in its usual usage is not relevant in these regards.

I want a game somewhere halfway between an MMORPG and a MOBA. Like an MMO in a bottle, or a Massive MOBA. A good example of this may be Alterac Valley from World of Warcraft but on a bigger scale.

Two sides, each side has 100 to 500 people, and the map is the size of 10 WOW zones. The game lasts some limited amount of time, with some forcing function similar to the shrinking map in Fortnight.

There are all the different kind of activities you may perform in an MMO; Dungeons, mobs, quests, crafting; You start as level one and you could play the entire thing PVE solving quests or you can be PVP or somewhere in between as like a rogue that is sabotaging the other side. But everything you do helps your side or hurts the other side. Every quest you do may gain resources for your side or help your army grow bigger, or help arm your team. (You could go find special weapons, or just gain resources to help all people on your team get progressively bigger weapons).
I'm in a high foot-traffic urban area and anything that's too cumbersome to sell locally (I don't want to haggle over a $5 item) we just put outside on the sidewalk. Almost all of the time, it finds a new home.
Re: vent

I still think the HVAC vent knob on my Saab was the most innovate knob I've ever seen and nothing compares today.

It allowed you to redirect the air in a fluid full 360 degree (semi-circular) position seamlessly. All other cars it's 2 separate horizontal and vertical controls.
The last part was just for fun. I was originally going to throw in a "Start a cash business and launder your drug money through it." which is probably more useful.
As someone working in ad tech but not rooting for it to win at all costs: the biggest positive I see from GDPR is the fact that many ad tech data vendors have left Europe. I'm talking about vendors that aggregate personal data, track your location and the places you visit, the web sites you visit across multiple devices, etc.

Thank you for this link. I need to read it a few more times to fully absorb it since it's so packed with information, but strategy 6 seems like a good one. Writing good code often enough that you can reasonably allocate time to work on just doing the things that need to be done seems like the safest approach, though also the most mentally taxing one. It's hard to write good code when you're actively incentivized not to, even if indirectly.
Was the torrent a Wineskin?
That may be true, but I find it hard to believe that an uncontrolled proliferation of antitank weapons/etc in Europe could be the final mistake that undoes America. It could certainly cause a big mess for our European allies, but destabilizing America itself? That seems like quite a stretch.

Is this a sincere question? If so: "underground" was "above ground" (or sea floor in this case) at the time. Additional layers formed and became the new "ground". Tectonic shifts moved places up or down (or on top of eachother), canals were formed or drained, water evaporated or froze, and so on.

What I think is a lot more weird is that archaeology works: i.e. you can dig in old European cities and find the remains of older cities underneath. The short answer is that stuff like dust, decaying plant matter, erosion from nearby mountains and debris from the buildings themselves can effectively create this new layer on top, but it still feels counter-intuitive because we're not used to thinking in these timeframes: https://www.straightdope.com/21341986/how-come-archaeologica...
Many important rights were never voted in at all. Interracial marriage was legalized not by electorates but by the Supreme Court. Desegregation of education had to be imposed on several states by federal troops.

At the federal level, the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_the_Rights_of_th... is an example of a right that has never yet been implemented, partly because some states insisted on retaining the death penalty for children.
"Bloodstraw"

A first person mosquito simulator, where you fly around in teams, suck blood and also can upgrade your mosquito. Hiding in a sneaky sort of way together with sinister music should be a central part of the game. The annoying buzzing sound should not be on by default, but be possible as part of a future mosquito upgrade. If it's on a level with many humans, it could be on the form of "capture the flag" or counter strike, but where a designated subset of the humans would need to be sucked blood from, and then the first team to lay eggs in water and spawn new mosquitos would win. There should be no ranged weapons, but a way to zoom in and jet forward once a target lock was acquired. The upgrades should belong to the account, but only some should be possible to select at the start of a level, according to how many "upgrade points" a level has. One NPC squatter that tried to squish mosquitos should be controlled by an AI and placed in each level. The mosquito upgrades could be pretty extensive, from "supersonic" to "jet pack" or "hurricane force blood suction". Victory dances of the mosquitos and the music should also be part of the upgrades. Money should be made by selling the game for $2 and by selling hats in game for $0.5 each.

And by the way the amount of people interested in playing huge simulations makes me think that we living in a simulation because someone likes to play it might not be that sci-fi. At least even we have a kind of drive and motivation to build and play such a thing.
I want a no mans sky that lives up to it's idea 10000000x better then the current game.

A procedural universe where each world has the density of detail as GTA 5 or Elden Ring or SOTC and the same amount of variability as well.

This could be achievable in the future by throwing some ML into these procedural algorithms. We already sort of do it with text.

There were a few scenarios in the RTS Cossacks that had this - Two armies would be facing off, and the general (you) would just be a single horseman. You were surrounded by messengers that you could dispatch to various units, but you had to take into account that they wouldn't get there immediately, and that sometimes the messengers would get shot en route to delivering their commands.

Some ideas I had. Wishes, dreams, etc. :-)

1. You run a food truck where you serve hotcakes. It's a rhythm game though, with elements of animal/pet care.

2. You manage an empire but are allowed to pick any given time and place during which to build your empire. You are given a varying batch of starting resources that should allow the empire to get off the ground. Like superpowers, maybe you have amazing charisma or the ability to fly. The type of empire is also mutable. So you could build a media empire starting in early 1900s Berlin and watch it eclipse the entire idea of WWII within a decade. Or you could start a hot dog cart in Siberia and end up with Putin as your temporarily ally as you sweep through northern China within 20 years.

3. You are in charge of demolishing old infrastructure that is getting in the way. You learn the ins and outs of this kind of work as you play. For example there may be incentives for looking after wildlife that are living around the structures. But it may also cost you; however the game rewards creativity in this area. (Business game though doesn't sound right for what I had in mind. Maybe more of someone who's on the gov't side of managing the contractors and their work...)
It's a frankenstein system of provisioning though. You have to write a config file in Ruby and embed bash scripts, which may or may not do things like invoke ansible scripts (written in YAML). The layers of complexity are immense, and that's before you have to start janitoring virtualbox's always half broken state. The inner loop of change vagrant config -> see result in VM is painfully slow too, waiting for the VM to tear down and setup again.

Docker is much, much simpler. Write a Dockerfile that's mostly just bash or shell code. Build and run in seconds to immediately see the results. Once it's working push the container image to a public registry and you can distribute it to anything.
I swear my ears beg to differ at the tones some people can reach, ow.
> The numbers certainly prove that Waterloo draws many talents who can survive that process.

Not really. In a resume pile you should get almost 8x more applicants from Waterloo than MIT. You could flunk 7 out of 8 candidates and still claim the university is “as popular as MIT” in SV.
I would love to have age of empires 2 but with an mmo sized map. And thousands of players at the same time. Don’t ask me how you would actually win, but I like the idea.
A full-featured open-world RPG that can be casually played in 2-3 hour sessions once or twice a week.

I love this game format (Skyrim, BotW, WoW) etc but they're all best played very consistently for many hours at a time. I simply don't have that time anymore.

Something that will remind you where you left off (what you were doing, where you were going), controls/mechanisms that aren't overly complicated (nothing worse than booting up a game and realizing you forget how to attack), etc.
GQL is great, if only because it stops endless bikeshedding about "what is RESTful". It's not going to be right in every use-case and I find it useful to have GQL and normal API endpoints on the same API so I can use the right tool for the job.

From a client perspective it's night and day, server implementation is a little more tricky but the C# libraries seem to avoid a lot of the pain other back-end answers seem to be encountering, not sure why that should be.

> In the case of the debit card example (or credit cards) banks could do what they used to and actually decline the charge.

I use citibank and they've recently announced that they're going back to the old ways of just declining the charge, and eliminating overdraft fees. Hopefully that's a trend that other banks are also following.
lol wut. You’re advocating for states rights and acknowledging that people in Mississippi would vote for Jim Crow to come back if it wasn’t for that pesky federal government.

What kind of argument is this (a well known ultra conservative talking point) and why is it at top of the thread?

HN goes a bit too far socially conservative with its libertarianism sometimes. Y’all are just conservative at that point - not libertarian.
Geography and sea levels have changed over the course of Earth's history. Perhaps you've heard of things like Pangaea, or found fossils while digging in the dirt as a child? Many areas now inhabited were below oceans at points in the past billions of years.

Do submarines count? If so, then yes.

An important detail of the battle of midway was the Japanese didn’t think the American carriers were present. If they knew from the get go then the out come very likely would’ve been different. I.e. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Santa_Cruz_Isl...

In the game, the Japanese would not be surprised.

I think the concept could work. Just choose a different battle. :)

The way gr:w was built helicopters do make a lot of sense, planes too. The parachuting part does not make a lot of sense, but some sort of mechanic for fast traveling was necessary, and there were not many places to land. Terrible controls didn't help in that regard.
Third post now, but I'd like to see a kids' game built around schemas ("up", "down", "on top of" etc) that uses voice recognition to promote and reward speech in young children. My specific use case is children like my son, who are mostly non-verbal but who can occasionally muster the words to ask Alexa for a song (or badger me for chocolate). Games are a great way to tease more language out of kids like him, but there aren't many that fit.
Oh interesting, I had no idea there was a connection. I thought "Borrowers" was just a name OP made up for the idea.
Same intent? You mean deny full voting privileges? Can you provide a source?

I mean, the way the Bill of Rights was written was the same intent - to get everyone on board.

But I’m not prepared to throw out the first amendment because of it.
I don't think system admin skills will be much help. Using Kubernetes isn't much like system admin. The whole point of it is to automatically manage a ton of resources. Pods are even more cattle than VMs, and infinitely more disposable.

A lot of the solutions to pod problems is to let kubernetes restart them. System administrators work to prevent problems.

Pods are also typically single purpose, rather than general purpose like a bare metal machine. System admin knowledge isn't required.

I don't think you need to unlearn a lot, but you do need to accept a different mindset, that of horizontal scaling and disposablility.

There's tons of people, me included, who run a server as a hobby. Almost nobody runs kubernetes as a hobby. It's like Hadoop - only corporations can love it.

Why must profitability to a banker matter to public optimization of agency? If anything the banker just becomes a thought policing grifter who empowers agency of some without any oversight.

A banker is nothing more than a fallible human. Why record in my inner monologue they’re to be seen as more than that?

Prior to open discourse online, public relations teams did a stellar job convincing people financiers are special. I’ve been in the room with people that attend Davos. They mock and ridicule the public as they decide who is worth what to their bottom line. They’re uniqueness is a hallucination.

Contemporary society is leveraging well understood propaganda techniques to take advantage of the same biological quirk religion stumbled upon by accident.

One person is one person. Not some figurative thought leader we must kowtow to.
I don't have enough money to care seriously about this yet, so I don't mind if my bank discontinues the service (and can reevaluate then). However, in the meantime it's there and it's convenient so I use it and the simplicity of my financial "stack" (one account for everything) makes it work well.

A credit card would break that and introduce unnecessarily complexity including another company that I'd rather not have to deal with (also, I'm not aware of any modern credit card providers that would give me a decent experience).
Show HN: Never forget what you've learned
Save All uses quizzes, notifications, and emails to stop you forgetting what you've learned. Unlike other spaced repetition apps, we've (really) prioritised making Save All as simple as possible - minimalist design, no distractions, and minimal cognitive load placed on users.

We achieve this simplicity by using machine learning (e.g. large language models like BERT, GPT) to reduce the number of decisions users have to make. You don't have to decide whether you remembered a card, we know whether you did. You don't have to decide how to be quizzed on your information, we'll decide for you.

We're VC funded & growing fast but would love to hear HN's critical feedback. Tell it to us how it is!
One of the best low-tech interfaces is the honeywell round thermostat. Change the dial to point to the temperature you want and the internal indicator shows you the current temperature.

Which is why there are technical standards for the ISP to do it from their end:

Flex is way simpler to use and reason about, it's sufficient for a majority of cases and it works on IE11, which is still supported until 2025.

Grid is more powerful, but not by a huge margin and not in every case. You can get very far with just flex, calc, media queries, and some inline variables and some other tricks. Also grid needs a more global view so to speak and up-front design as opposed to the component based thinking that has become so prevalent.

I'm a fan of the feature but I don't think flex is becoming irrelevant anytime soon.
Hi, looks very interesting.

Paradox games often do have player just waiting for a thing to happen, like forging a fake claim to a territory to get a causus belli. Yes it is a boring part of the game, and makes it feel like a "waiting game", just waiting for a progress bar to fill.
Just my perspective:

I don't feel like I know my friends or family very well these days, despite being friends for almost thirty years with some.

Twenty years ago we would talk on MSN or email and arrange to do something or hang out. These days you just see photos of their lunch.

I also feel like a lot of folks are scared to hang out, even pre-COVID, because they have nothing to talk about that isn't already on Facebook. What they do discuss is pretty much solely consumption of "I ate x", "I bought y".

I largely feel like folks have lost the art of conversation. Instead they're now content creators.
I think it is a great idea btw. Once city becomes big enough, one may want to recruit more people to take care of it and split roles. I love it.

Are you assuming that only those who have it worst can truly suffer?

Or are you in possession of the true meaning of the word 'suffer' and stand above us all to decide whether someone is suffering or not?

SwiftUI is good enough to make apps with. All tools/libraries have problems. You'll advance much faster by learning to work with their limitations than you will be trying to find the perfect framework to use at the start (it doesn't exist anyways).
Savage XR and Savage 2 are a bit like that, but I don't think either have very active communities these days.
