Give me another Freespace game. I never expected to get such excellent storytelling from a space sim.

Other than that, I'd really like to get a game based on Mistborn. I think the allomancy mechanics could be very fun in a video game.

Tilt is excellent, and unlike other fools it does not ise YAML, it uses python - real programming language- so you can deal with any strange scoping, pathing,or arbitrary logic like 'look for this file in this folder, but only on second tuesday after full moon'

And it is declarative. Try it, and you will never look back

I wonder if the router or switch could be set to provide that information? Most modern routers have LAN info and could reliably inform a smart enough appliance that it is accessing something inside of the gateway address.
The feature is called Live Text, and it was released in macOS Monterey.
>Companies lining up recourse financing for their employees should.

Wait the companies set these loans up? I thought they were just going to a bank and getting something akin to a personal loan or some other 3rd party collateralized loan.

Oh man, I loved this game almost 20 years ago.

My friend and I started building on the side of a pond far away from everyone. We would get home from school and tie our house phone to our heads with our dad's tube socks so we could stay in constant communication while we collected resources and build up our enterprise.
DuckDuckGo's Browser Won't Block (Some) Microsoft Trackers
The contracts with Microsoft need to be explained in more detail. Is there anyway we can edit the code to remove these exceptions?
Stressful. If you work faster than your colleagues, you are making them look bad and that pisses them off. If you slow down to their speed, they notice you browsing Hacker News all day and that pisses them off too. If you once push a fix that crashes the live server you'll never hear the end of it even if everyone else does it twice per week. Meetings with project managers get awkward: "You were working on five features this week and have implemented them all? Including test cases? Wow, impressive!" "And how is it going for you, [name redacted]? Still struggling with that bug from three weeks ago?" "Your kid was sick so you haven't had the time to work on it?.... Let's reassign that bug..." Then there are the young and incredibly talented but not very practical developers (5x developers?). Those who spend two years developing their own in-house cms for the company because Joomla didn't have that one specific feature they wanted. Tell them that the feature exists in out-of-the-box Wordpress installations? And don't get me started on the stupid but widespread "if you are that good at coding there must be something wrong with you" prejudice...

Fwiw, I don't think we as a community should use the term 10x developer. It should be "a developer ten times stronger than the average developer." Because any developer can increase their strength tenfold with enough practice.

The one in GDPR trouble wouldn't be your company anyway, since you're a data processor. The data controller is the one who needs to make good on the data requests.
CRISPR doesn't only work with tomatoes.
Don't understand why Go developers choose the most complicated solutions. Function returning function returning function is an awful style of coding that is hard to read. I see at least two simple ways to pass options:

1) named arguments:

createFoo(barness: "bar", bazness: True)

2) struct with default values:

createFoo(FooConfig{barness = "bar"})

Go might not have these features, but I guess it is easier to add them than to invent weird "function returns function" tricks.

With functional options the code needs to be duplicated: first, you need to define a field in a struct and then a functional option that sets that field to a given value. With ideas above no duplication is necessary.
Advertising Is Obsolete
> - They think they know more than they really do. I have interviewed a lot of entry level especially bootcampers who can write a app.get('/', (req, res) but have no idea how a GET request actually works. Most cannot tell me the difference between http header and body. But they surely know how to send an ajax request through code. Fundamentals people, fundamentals.

I like your points, but want to dig a little deeper here. If someone is writing a new program, do they really need to know how the GET request works at the level you post, and the difference between header and body? You could write websites or applications, front and backend, let a framework like Django handle that, and this lack of knowledge wouldn't get in the way.

My main point: How deep should the knowledge well stop? Does the interviewer who expects this deeper knowledge of how HTTP works also expect the candidate to know deeper network levels? How a TCP header is set up? An IP header? Ethernet? How to program the firmware/software that goes into an MCU or OS using a HAL or other abstraction? What about the volatile register reads and writes required?

What if they have no idea, but can tell you if they wanted that info, they'd look it up on MDN, or pull up a browser's network tab or Wireshark?

I would argue you could justify stopping before the fundamental level you exist, or not consider it enough, depending on job requirements.
Ten years ago there was "A Slower Speed of Light". FPS with reduced speed of light, as the title suggests, and related rendering.
>If the ISP could add a paragraph to their T&C's, then monitor the speed...

They did, but the overhead at the time was high. And they generally didn't peruse unless you were causing trouble....or slipped up on OPSEC.

Cable ISP network security back in the day was horrid. SNMP string would get leaked. With that you could snmpwalk the entire node you were on. It was amusing.
From what I'm seeing they had ~550 employees as of the beginning of this year (~4 months ago). This was up from ~270 in Sept 2021 (~4 months prior).

I would find it very hard to believe they have increased their headcount by 900% (~4500 people) in 4 months.

B-52 mission from Dr. Strangelove. OK, sorry if that offends, because yes, it's a seriously sick topic.

Closest I've seen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megafortress - modified B-52; very early flight-sim, so pretty weak, and no nukes. Best on Amiga, but easy to play today with Dos-box on a PC. Multiple crew stations, but single player only. I would die for a re-make with multi-player co-op.

Any flight sim fans seen anything remotely similar?
If that is your response then you haven't begun to understand the reason why the GDPR exists in the first place. You don't have to put up a cookie banner/popup. Have a look at my website: jacquesmattheij.com , no banner, no popup and yet 100% GDPR compliant.
I'm not posing an opinion either way, but what the article says is that vitamin D doesn't cause either good or bad health, it's only a marker for sun exposure which does cause good health.

"These rebels argue that what made the people with high vitamin D levels so healthy was not the vitamin itself. That was just a marker. Their vitamin D levels were high because they were getting plenty of exposure to the thing that was really responsible for their good health—that big orange ball shining down from above."

I am making the game as solo dev, hence I do everything by myself from coding, creating the assets and marketing.. at best of my abilities.. :)

I am using Unity game engine for the development.

Being solodev is really challenging at times,but I try keeping a consistent schedule to keep the game progress constant.

Nice. I've used this for years. I love self-descriptive code so I use a `flowerbox` and `flowerpot` bash script daily, with flowerpot being just an alias of figlet.
I don’t find that unlikely at all. Tomatoes are very susceptible to improvement through selective breeding. Test for vitamin D each generation, plant seeds from the highest.

It doesn't change the morality of the theft, but it is relevant when determining how the thief should make the victim whole. To use your paycheck analogy - consider these two situations:

1. The thief steals from you on your way to the bank, where you have a history of making on-time loan payments. The theft causes you to default on your loan and lose your car which leads to you losing your job.

2. The thief steals from you on your way to the tavern, where you have a history of drinking your paycheck.

Wouldn't you agree that in scenario 1, the thief owes you more compensation than just the money he stole?

Imagine if I said "If France hadn't forced Haiti to pay for its freedom, Haiti would have become a world leader in semiconductor manufacturing, like Taiwan". Do you have any evidence against that claim? Can you see why the extent of the damage is relevant for determining how France should make up for it?

Parallels decided to install Windows Media Player as my media player for all music and video file types on macOS and I want to reset all of them to VLC.
Black Ops Zombies but with an insane amount more depth:

- We're talking things like skill trees.

- Levels that take hardcore amounts of time to master (think like the original runescape)

- Actual good game play at higher rounds (all zombie games have this problem -- there is not enough built into the game for the player to keep going at higher rounds)

- Weapons and abilities that don't follow standard physics with weapons and hence require skill to master beyond pointing at enemies.

One thing that is really great about zombies is you have to decide how to spend your points to stay alive. Do you buy a specific power up now or wait? should you buy this weapon or save up? I think it would be cool if there were even more choices to make. These simple decisions have so many consequences that make every game unique. It's honestly really cool game design.
> that wasn't really an issue as food production has been pretty much restored during 192x "New Economical Policies"

Fair point; I meant that many efforts were devoted to the industrialization of the country, depriving the agricultural sectors from those – especially regarding resources allocation in brainpower and machinery.

> in many senses that was exactly the consequences of the transfer of control from successful private farmers ("kulaks") to collective farms

I disagree; it seems to me it was the consequences of Stalin's purges profiling at the horizon, and noone – especially among the low-rankers of the party hierarchy – wanting to find themselves on the wrong side of a Nagant for announcing a failure to fill the quotas.

> as if "bad weather" magically disappeared :)

Bad weather is a problem if (i), as you mentioned, the whole incentives for production are screwed up, and (ii) the agricultural infrastructure of the country is miles behind the state of the art. Imperial Russia was still relying mostly on human work for agricultural tasks in the 1910's, and 1930's USSR was miles behind 1950's-1980's USSR w.r.t. agronomical methods & knowledge, equipment, irrigation, mechanization, etc.

So if bad weather would only be an inconvenience more recent USSR, it would become a compounding factor for a generalized famine in 1932.
(Note: I work on Telepresence)

There's a bunch of semi-opinionated tools like Skaffold: Garden, Tilt (just bought by Docker), Docker Compose, and of course, the trusty ol' shell script powered by kustomize.

We wrote Telepresence because we found that everyone has their own snowflake-ish workflow once you get beyond the base case of "build container, kubectl apply", so we decided to focus just on the inner dev loop, and then integrate with your preferred workflow. YMMV.
That was a different user. The fact that a user not running a git hosting service is potentially eating $200 a month should queue you into the fact that the cost to Drew is likely drastically higher than that.

Google should be sending reimbursement checks for the damage done here on this issue.

So I do this but I'm beginning to suspect the real reason they have all these rewards is partially due to data selling of spending habits. Usually when you get a new card there is a little slip that details what you can and cannot opt out of when it comes to data collection and selling to third parties.
This is just a random thought but procedurally generating a mansion could really work in ways that wouldn't normally work in other genres. Imagine the Winchester house, which is spooky and architecturally doesn't make much sense.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umayyad_invasion_of_Gaul

8th Century.

My distant recollection from university French courses is that the Battle of Tours, which repulsed the invasion, is among the earliest major events that the French consider directly part of their national history, and is a really big deal to them. Though of course "France" didn't really exist yet, at that time (it's telling that the "French" forces were from two independent kingdoms, both located in modern France), though enough elements were in place that you could maybe call it a kind of proto-France.
This is the deflating of the covid hype bubble used to distract the public, for sure.

I don't particularly care for Drew, but the issue he's reported here seems totally valid. And if he requested that he be excluded from getting hit by the crawler, wouldn't that mean it would be impossible for people to use packages from sr.ht unless they change their config?

Plus, it does seem reasonable to think that only one of the crawlers needs to hit the site. The global replication can happen at the FS level or, heck, the crawlers can just perform pulls from each other.
The 4G daily was a different user who hosted a go module where he was the single user on his own server, this was not DeVault.

I'd be pretty pissed if I hosted a go module essentially for myself and suddenly I have a $200 dollar bill, because google decided to clone my repository 500 times a day. If it doesn't bother you, how about you donate $200 a month to a charity of my choosing, because it doesn't matter to you.
Go developers came up with this pattern to deal with the language's limitations. Go's core team would probably advocate for a mutable configuration struct with a magical interpretation of zero values, and/or a constructor-by-convention and advise users to "just not make mistakes".

If we had non-zero default values or named arguments, this pattern wouldn't exist.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy: confident AMZN get high costs in check
Lots of space game related comments, but none seem close to what I would like, so here goes. I was absolutely blown away by the first part of the 2017 VR game Lone Echo, where you're an android called Jack, and you're helping your commander Liz make repairs on and around a spaceship. I want a game that's basically just that. Hanging out with my AI commander, repairing stuff around the ship, maybe at some point go on almost mundane missions while keeping the ship afloat. No combat, no leveling up, no skill trees. Just a slice of life space sim where I can pop in whenever I have a free hour after work. I realize this is probably an extreme niche, but hey, you asked!
For readers looking for ideas about exactly how software can go so much further than paper, I recommend this now classic essay by Bret Victor, Magic Ink:

I agree, #ifdef is sometimes the best tool for the job. I didn't mean that it's always wrong, but it does tend to be overused in my experience. For instance, hardcoding assumptions about the target platform when a dynamic lookup could have been used instead. E.g. compare old skool hardcoded addresses in Linux drivers to modern devicetrees.
Parsing JSON faster with Intel AVX-512
What do you mean by happiness of results, how would you measure it.
No, well first off the measurement of temperature is terrible, very inaccurate and low resolution.

In the second event, I have multiple things I want to measure and I can't derive stress from temp, I have adrenaline going on a lot of the time (more and more often than most, because of stress doing nothing), and then, whatever I've got going on...which also affects things. Then indoor heating, what I've eaten, what I'm wearing? No, much better to draw blood and take a litmus test, temperature is plain noise.
I think that there is no benefits, it is just a workaround for lack of named arguments and default values for struct fields.
You might be interested in what I'm setting to out build. I'm working on Archapolis, a city builder with real time traffic simulation and interior views of peoples homes (which you can customize/build yourself if you want). While the game wont scale up to the country scale, I do want the player to have a more hands on approach to managing the city. Im thinking it would be cool if the player could hire their own board if they wanted to, otherwise they would have to manually manage that aspect of the game (e.g. no fire marshal could mean manually sending out fire trucks to fires, scheduling building inspections, etc).

Here's a tech demo of what I've been working on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q0l87hwmkI

I created a path finding algorithm that can simultaneously path 300,000 units to random destinations at a comfortable frame rate. Units can choose from any of the shortest paths between two points (there are many in a grid), and from those paths, can also choose the path that matches any preferences they have.

Very early stages of development still!
You can fantasize about the price being lower.
Maybe on the next rover, they can include a brush or blower on the arm so they can dust off the solar panels occasionally.

Do you know how some people can create mindbogglingly creative scenes, worlds and alternative universes out of nothing?

Like Starry Night in Minecraft [1], imaginary castles [2], Magica Voxel scenes [3] and a good chunk of DeviantArt and ArtStation material.

I'd love to be able to go in and explore these creations by walking, flying or being taken on a tour and just gaping at things. No other goal but just to stare and to be amazed.

But it's all gotta be a single experience, seamlessly connected to allow going from one "world" to another with no effort. And do, of course, charge an entrance fee for this, it's only fair.

I got this game because I thought it would be like that, but unfortunately there's still a lot of micromanagement available with units at war, something I specifically was trying to avoid. Your melee units will get kited around.

I would have preferred it to be either "enter tile and attack what's there" vs "retreat".
If you no longer need the services that you initially contracted for, then you fire them since there is nothing left for them to do. How is that so hard to understand? There is nothing saying that you need to keep people around when you no longer have any need of their services, not even any moral reasons.
Better to ignore their current mobile site and use the old layout, which is inexplicably still available at https://i.reddit.com/ with a much better experience.
Well, it depends on the length/circumference. Knobs are usually more satisfying to tune, but faders are not only as precise, but give better visual feedback and you can move multiple at once.
Just as long as the AR people don't bring boomboxes with them ;)
Except I'm saying all those other things already worked fine. Your scenario is an incremental change between then and today. If you want that super impressive effect you need to compare against longer ago than 2002. If you do that in 1992, wow.

You could still do a 20 year comparison if you wanted, 1992 vs. 2012. Since the experience has barely changed in the last 10 years.
No idea. Confirmed the layoff number is 33% as of today. Which is pretty aggressive, they must be hemorrhaging money.
> Lets be real, you need to be using JavaScript for the internet to be functional, even within Tor

That's incorrect, especially the last part. Dark services work very hard to design their websites to work without JS, due to these exact vulnerabilities. Nobody on the dark web trusts JS, at all.
A website with classic games (tic tac toe, crossword puzzles, minesweeper, soduko, etc.) that collected all (and I mean all) the data from every game and showed insane statistics about how well you did, relative to all the other players. If possible, showed you how to get better.
