> That's not what we are talking about.

> the idea that you will be in these places for extended periods of time, working and taking calls, is nowhere close to reality for even the most adventurous

Go back and re-read the thread. You gave the availability of cell coverage everywhere you can drive as an explicit reason why those who need to be reachable don't need to run Starlink 24/7. Then, when I pointed out that was factually inaccurate, you shifted to saying that those places exist, but nobody would want to stay there for extended periods. That I was also able to contradict through personal experience. I've only addressed topics you directly brought up yourself.

> Yes, if you're living out of your car in remote places and need to be reachable 24/7 you are a unique case and should plan accordingly. But for the vast majority of people working on the road, that's just not the case.

This I agree mostly agree with (except the hyperbolic "unique case"). Pager duty isn't that uncommon for software developers so it is not an unrealistic use-case and is worth discussing on a platform like HN and doesn't deserve to be dismissed out of hand.

I think you have a tendency to make hyperbolic claims, (e.g. "nowhere close to reality for even the most adventurous") when you would have been better served by just relating your extensive experience with how easy it is to find good places to boondock that do have enough cell service to not require starlink for 24/7 contactability.

Edit: I would also have been more effective if I had left out the first sentence of my original reply and instead provided examples of the areas I was talking about in the initial comment rather than in a follow up.
Some reasons:

Objective-C compiles much faster. Fewer compiler errors. Fewer compiler crashes. Older projects still compile. The debugger is much more reliable. The entire Objective-C toolchain is more solid, because it's older, mature, and changes less.

Also, easier compatibility with cross-platform C and C++ source.
That would be ideal, but I don't see that as being what was meant by the other commenter. It's certainly not how it works today.

That football analogy is broken. The football team shares common goals. The parties in Congress very clearly have separate ideals/philosophies on specific issues. Even when they have a shared end goal (as the often do) the means to achieve it can be complete opposites.
I would argue that this is the exact problem of current modern games. The parent is suggesting something alternative, fun with other people.

Almost every current MMORPG is oriented on getting that virtual cash or other currency up in virtual economy, to make some linear progression for pre-defined ending.

> Of course that won't happen because regulatory capture, but let's not wring our hands and pretend that this is a fundamentally difficult problem. It's not.

Regulatory capture is a huge issue, it is difficult to solve, it is the real mother-issue of many other issues (like this one, you argue), and is fundamental to modern governance. Credit scoring is transitively a fundamentally difficult problem.
Guns Of Icarus fits this almost perfectly, but instead of being set in space it's more steampunk vibes.
I think trying to re-tool an existing app to be swiftui is a mistake. Replace swiftui with anything and it's a mistake. But swiftui is marketed as a replacement for UIKit and it doesn't seem to work. If I was starting a new app it still seems like a bad idea. Every attempt my team has made to make even small components in swiftui has been a disaster.
linux kernel defaults to 'no-strict-aliasing'.

I wonder if this statement is correct: "always do -fno-strict-aliasing by default, only do -fstrict-aliasing where the performance bottleneck is"? It seems like a compromise between safety(less UB) and performance to me.

It looks like you’ve been voted down, but I agree regarding housing. The housing market is absolutely absurd. It’s time for a reset there. Majorly.
How do you feel about Civ VI? For me, the game is just too darn complex. I feel like they added way too many point economies to keep track of - amenities, housing, appeal, loyalty, and more. The emphasis on districts and adjacency bonuses makes me feel like I need to intensely micromanage my territory and place each district with a sense of finality because changing my mind is so expensive.

I also find the game's aesthetic to be a dissonant mess. While I can put up with a more cartoony style, the UI is just too busy. Not only are there a ton of icons and labels on the screen, it was like the designers wanted to emphasize the civilization's colors rather than readability. The map looks strange because of how cities, mountains, wonders, and district buildings are scaled for visibility. Individual buildings look bigger than cities and appear as tall as some mountains or larger than some terrain features. Overall, the game seems to lack a cohesive and congruent style and it's ugly to me.

All that being said, I did like the variety for city state bonuses, having great people be more diversified, and the fact that needing a specific tile to place a wonder upon made it so that a small number of cities did not contain an absurd amount of wonders within them. Ultimately, I hope they make Civ 7 a more streamlined game but keep some of the variety.
My toyota Corolla has a touch screen for interacting with audio. It has the following delightful features:

- latency

- it has a boot procedure when you turn the car on. While this happens, the controls have quite substantial latency. However the first thing that happens is it begins playing audio.

- there is a knob for adjusting volume, but it's still part of the same system as the rest of it. There is still substantial latency to this control, especially immediately upon turning the car on. However even a little latency here is really annoying, because one naturally adjusts volume via trial and error.

- if you've paired the car with your phone via Bluetooth, it immediately sends a message to your phone to start playing whatever audio was played most recently at whatever the current volume is. I wrote a tasker routine to intercept this, but an android patch a while back helpfully broke this and I haven't bothered fixing it.

All of this combines for a user experience dramatically worse than an aux cord. It's kind of spectacular in its terribleness. And this is an otherwise great car.
> we, the consumers, will continue to buy them.

Who's this "we"?

I'm in the pre-buy stage, it looks like my record of non-car-ownership will end at 23 years. (My last car was stolen from a SOMA lot in 1999.)

It does look like I'm buying used and IC, because I will not have a touch screen. I've driven basically every model of car you can rent, and some of them are less offensive than others, but they're all ass. Backup assist is vaguely nice, but I learned to parallel park before they existed, so I don't really care. And everything else about them is actively worse.

The UI is such a weird thing to cheap out on. As far as I'm concerned, keep your butt warmers and solenoid-driven seat adjustment, I want physical knobs I don't have to look at to use.
Our family did the same thing... gmail is pretty superior in most aspects, but so is their ability to search your deepest darkest secrets. a tradeoff we were fine making. that said in the year we've been using it their overall "arc of change" has been positive and this latest refresh looks to follow that trend. FWIW I use the iphone beta app through trustpilot and it's a lot better but this refresh looks like they're moving towards GA'ing that version soon.
Turn-based is best for single-player games. After all, with multiple people, you end up waiting for somebody to take their turns. If turns are sequential you end up a lot of time waiting. Real-time is generally a better fit for multiplayer.

"Just emit YAML" is about avoiding all of the inheritance and javascript IPC in favor of writing straightforward YAML-builder code in the host language (more like Troposphere, but Troposphere also has poor ergonomics).

These are two examples I found online. The first is more complicated but it doesn't do any JavaScript IPC, no inheritance, no mutation, etc. You write it just like you want to write YAML, and it straightforwardly emits YAML (rather than the CDK version which is more opaque/magical). I prefer this:

def main():
bucket_name_parameter = ParameterString(Description="The name of the bucket")
key_arn_parameter = ParameterString(
Description="The ARN of the KMS key used to encrypt the bucket",
)
bucket = Bucket(BucketName=bucket_name_parameter)
t = Template(
description="S3 Bucket Template",
parameters={
"BucketName": bucket_name_parameter,
"KMSKeyARN": key_arn_parameter,
},
resources={
"Bucket": bucket,

Rather than this:

super().__init__(app, id)
self.access_point = f"arn:aws:s3:{Aws.REGION}:{Aws.ACCOUNT_ID}:accesspoint/" \

)

Note: Compared to Troposphere, the bindings in the first example are completely generated from a spec published by AWS, so they never fall behind. They're also type-annotated so you can use those bindings with type safety. Sadly, the project has been abandoned because it's CloudFormation-specific and the world has moved away from CloudFormation.
Once you get past the square brackets notation, ObjC is a really delightfiul language to code in largely because of it's message-passing object system. In many ways Swift was a step forward, and more approachable for beginners, but for me it's also a few steps backwards for programmer happiness.

Both Natural Selection and Natural Selection 2 are some of my favourite games of all time, so I probably carry a heavy bias. But in my opinion they were both absolutely excellent. The second game had severe technical issues initially, but has improved greatly. They both suffer from the same problem though, in that you need to find a good server with friendly players to have a good time given the amount of cooperation necessary. In particular, there is no way to make up for a really poor commander. But, it becomes absolutely magical once you are with the right people. It also has asymmetric combat, which makes for a very rare and interesting experience.
The difficulties in finding decent used furniture, and not wanting to buy More Particleboard as I've settled in a house I plan to stay in for a good long while, has got me going the other way and building my own furniture.

I've really wanted a Stargate-esque galaxy explorer type game. Something 2D (like RimWorld graphics) that has procedurally generated planets and addresses, base management, etc

No Man's Sky is ok, but the alien life is mostly focused on lower intelligence animals, and base building feels clunky relative to what you can do in games like RimWorld or prison architect.

I've thought about learning unity to do this, but I have not had the time.

The one way I can see for true MMORPGs, as outlined by the GP, to work, as I can see, is basically having an AGI director to handle arbitrary actions, along with a BCI to actually take those actions.
I have an e-bike (and a standard errands bike). For my small city of 100,000 people, it's great. The no-pedal range is about 15 miles, and it costs pennies to charge. And e-bikes are fun to ride.

When riding it, it's an interesting thought experiment to imagine all the cars on the road also being e-bikes. It would be an amazingly different experience.

All that said, I'm a big fan of the right tool for the job. When I ride to the store, about 2 miles away, I ride my pedal bike. When I go all the way across town 7 miles away, I ride the e-bike (for speed/time reasons). When I need to pick up heavy or bulky items or go farther, I drive the car. I found that in the nice spring, summer, and fall months, I really didn't need the car very often.
Yes, but no:

> In the late 1990s, three additional backup diesel generators for Units 2 and 4 were placed in new buildings located higher on the hillside, to comply with new regulatory requirements. All six units were given access to these diesel generators, but the switching stations that sent power from these backup generators to the reactors' cooling systems for Units 1 through 5 were still located in the poorly protected turbine buildings. Meanwhile, the switching station for Unit 6 was protected inside the only GE Mark II reactor building and continued to function.[54] All three of the generators added in the late 1990s were fully operational after the tsunami. If the switching stations had been moved to the interior of the reactor buildings or to other flood-proof locations, power would have been provided by these generators to the reactors' cooling systems and thus the catastrophe would have been averted.[54]

Earthquake didn't did it, tsunami what flooded the generators which weren't moved/protected as ordered so (ie banal corruption) is what did it.

And the purposed location is far enough from the coast.
Now this guy's thinking.
I've always been interested in deep economy games where the economy drives the gameplay to a degree. The main reason for that is in my mind it's a really easy starting point to the question, how do you provide a space where the player can change / shape the world, while still having the world push back, return to normal or if successful, converge on a new normal?

So for example take any zacklike, one thing I'd like to try is having something like those mechanisms drove the supply of goods in an in-game economy, which would then feed in as input into other systems.

Well any complex system as the input would do =)...

So I've spent a lot of times tinkering with economic simulation games, the tricky thing is making them fun / balanced. I'm still trying to work out nice ways of debugging them when they break / become unstable. A lot of it at the moment is plotting data over time to see where failure points occur.
I think people were more angry about the fact that the persistent connection was required for DRM reasons, rather than a bona-fide gameplay mechanic. It felt like EA being user hostile rather than some genuine attempt to enhance an aspect of the simulation like the GP is suggesting.

The Mount & Blade Warband Persistent World mod servers are like this. All equipment and resources have to be mined, crafted, and used by players, and the only gameplay was player interactions - trade, banditry, war.

Meanwhile, most cars are shifting at least some controls to touch, because they have to have a big screen anyway (backup camera requirements).

Interconnecting city builders with completely different types of games that play out in those user-created places.

Like as a city builder you suddenly have to deal with people doing illegal car races through your city putting your citizens in danger, or dealing with gang wars from a GTA style game, but from a more macro perspective. Having real people playing MORPGs visiting your city looking for things to do. And so on.

No idea how you would make that work, but I find the possibilities quite interesting.

This immediately brought me back to 2005 and apps like Dreamweaver or Fireworks that'd let you drag and drop your components onto a page, and underneath the covers would create some very complex (but clever) HTML table structure, complete with sliced and diced images and invisible pixels to space things correctly.

The underlying code wasn't pretty, but the sites did tend to render correctly, even in browsers like IE6.
