iPad game similar to Red Alert 2, anything from Command and Conquer series (except 4), Age of Empires 1-2, Rise of Nations, Company of Heroes, Battle for Middle Earth 2 etc. You get the idea. Real, Real Time Strategy games. Would pay 50$. No in game purchases though. Only DLCs. I'll do this when/if I exit my startup. Even basic tower games are rigged.
I recall this from years ago, and had the Jason app on my phone for a while. The author[0] doesn't seem to have been active on HN or Github for 4 years or so, but a few interesting things came up over the course of a year, year and half. Some of the URLs from then now seem stale, but the code is still available. I'm a BE dev but was very taken by cell.js[1] and managed to throw something together really easily with it, which I enjoyed.

More hands on but also more flexible. I used snapcast to have synchronised audio to a portable speaker years before sonos sold their Roam speaker.
Planetside is incredible. Battle royales came and go, Battlefield franchise deteriorated, but Planetside 2 is on it's 12th year and still delivers.
Exactly I also find it slightly silly to immediately declare this 'insecure' in this case here.

If it was directly end-to-end on say a Nest Hub running a release version of Fuchsia then that would be a more convincing here, as that would confirm that it can be deployed and the bug can be exploited in the wild and in production and not on a newly built developer version running in an emulator.

The writeup of finding and exploiting this bug is impressive, but whether if you can use that exploit to directly attack a production version of Fuchsia on a device like the Nest Hub is another thing, which is the same way security researchers do to break live versions of other OSes like macOS, Windows, Android and Linux.
> ChromeOS is also unique in interesting ways, although less successful.

Chrome OS absolutely dominates the education market. So less successful than Android, sure (but so is literally every other OS at this point), but still very successful.
oldskool CS de_rats players represent!

loved that map. one of fave. and its variants. wish it was party of the current CS:GO distro
My backup camera screen is embedded in my reear view mirror. You wouldn't know when it's not on. Sure, it's small, but sufficient, considering it's not a replacement for mirrors and area awareness.
To your point, not all SaaS or vendors with integrations let you run your own code. If they do allow it there's probably an OpenZiti-native way to build-in the connectivity you need.

One alternative is running a tunneler like our users did for their continued access to the Jenkins UI. This is like a VPN client that can run pretty much anywhere, and so there's an excellent chance that it's already in the app store or coming soon for whatever platform you have in mind.

As for an authenticated proxy, thanks for that idea. I do think that a hardened internet edge like that has utility in cases like this, like NGrok + SSO. Another reader suggested their solution involving a third-party queue, essentially offloading the internet exposure problem to a public cloud provider, which is basically what I did here but with different software.
[VR Time Machine]

Teleport to historic and ancient cities and just walk around immersing yourself in architecture, languages, commerce and food. Imagine walking around in ancient Mayan, Egyptian cities hearing speech that is close enough to what people spoke at that time, witnessing day to day life thousands of years ago.
This is what I meant by that parenthetical about not being general purpose.

A computer used for a single task is a bit like a 4WD truck that only stays inside the city limits. It could do those things, sure, but it never does, so it hasn't really proven anything.
> Once you're at scale and deploying a redundant database, your hardware costs start to vanish anyway.

This is really, really false. It would make my life a lot easier if it were true.
Is that a monty python ref?
The comment about the marketing person saying users would feel like the lower-tech UX was archaic was interesting because of the insight it implied.

The value a product expresses really is the product. The user has to feel something about it. A medical device in a hospital setting used by nurses on patients needs to express professional sophistication to the patient and reliability to the RN. The simple LCD display makes sense for expressing something purpose-built, e.g. for a doctor doing a test, but for the RN, who does most of the care and patient interaction, things like rapport, trust, and familiarity go a lot further, hence asking for a touch screen.

Once as a PM on a security product, I entered into the UX development with the perspective of producing a consumer product that just told you the thing you needed to know, believing that the value we were providing was from our ML analytics back end we had invested so much in. What came back from enterprise sales was, "we want more widgets on the screen, can you just make it look like it's doing something?" My reaction was, "find smarter customers," which of course was the the most uniquely and profoundly wrong response in almost every way at once. After going out on some sales calls, what customers wanted was our data. They didn't care about our huge ML pipeline with a calm and decisive consumer oriented UX, because in their environment, having smooth products was not what made them express power to their own stakeholders - they expressed their own value by showing whizzing screens of data. What they really wanted in hindsight was a private telemetry and surveillance API for fleet devices, like a more featureful MDM, but scriptable so they could demonstrate their own value - and not an ML model that did that for them. A low tech command line or API was the real product they wanted. Customers who did like it were enterprise managers who wanted to show they were hip to silicon valley driven tech change.

I'd wonder if we could make a radial web chart of the values a customer really has and the result would indicate the design language elements the UX of a product should have. You'd have to figure out what things like "powerful" mean to your customers, and what would equip them to become that through using your product. Other sub values are things like authoritative, safe, precision, virtuotic, calm, belonging, competent, inventive, hidden depth, compliant and aligned, elevated, the exception, etc. Based on these, I'd design a product UX around a stack ranked set of values like these.

Makes me think there is a future in new kinds of input devices though.
There actually was a Japanese PlayStation 2 game where you had to play a mosquito. It was rather hard. I can't remember if it was good.

Oh! My answer was also a remix of Stardew. I like the idea of adding Pokemon-ish to the mix. Something to add more battling, because it felt like there was a ton more that could be done there once you have a nice farm going.
>When I got my first Android phone I could root it pretty trivially and run a fully customized ROM, these days it's not really practical on many devices.

Some of the easiest phones to do this to today, namely the Pixel phones, are also some of the most secure stock Android phones on the market. Freedom and security are not mutually exclusive.
I see it in a slightly different light: it's a gift they're giving you. In the cleaning, sorting of junk, I've found countless treasures of my dead relatives. Handling it helped me process my grief, reminding me of the good times and the bad. I leap at the opportunity to help clear that stuff out, because it's a powerful grief ritual.

Like the folks in the article, most of what my relatives considered valuable wasn't, by and large, I only kept little worthless trinkets. Like folks in the article, some of my cousins got weird and fought over the stuff, but for me, it's just stuff, and I've got too much of that already.
Absolutely, but like, how cool would it be for a bot to be generating you new quests with an awareness of the full world state and everything you've already accomplished in the game thus far, plus seeding in bits and pieces that will tie into an overall arc?

I could imagine that potentially being extremely immersive, and doing it for a pure text-based interface would be a great first step on eventually doing it for a 3D open world game.
I was thinking more along the lines of signature verification, but I forgot that any spoofed device could just supply a signature it got out of a device, so I think you're probably right.

Yeah, that's why I qualified it with "much." Trying to provide some context for HN readers unfamiliar with Sheldon.
Because of the way the line wrapped on my phone I initially read that as "Annotated implementation of microKaren". At that point my brain just went nuts and filled in the rest with "an embeddable non-logic language". :)
Most popular MMOs do have healthy economies and virtual cultures. You do need to participate though. If party play is enforced then party members certainly do affect game mechanics.

Maybe you want a pvp focused MMO? Maybe something like PlanetSide with more of an economy? Either that or maybe you want some big story points influenced by players?

Honestly I think you'd probably be disappointed unless you are personally part of the group that made the influential change. That takes a lot of investment as the mechanic would either be pvp or feel like its on rails.

Maybe you just want an RP wow server and a guild that is into grinding for Glam/RP loot according to their own stories?

I don't see how it's a technical problem at all. It sounds like your major issues are with story telling. Can you explain what technology you think is missing?
The real problem we're seeing now is wage inflation and unionization. Policymakers don't really care that much about asset bubbles, your ability to buy housing or the cost of gas. The negotiating power that ordinary workers (not just tech workers) are showing right now is what they're going to be worried about. The 1% unemployment rate, the overhang of 2 job openings for every job seeker and likely the removal of some workers from the pool from coronavirus due to death and disability and the retirement of baby boomers are the main factors to focus on in this cycle.

And that actually is a bit different.

As a result I think the Fed is going to slam on the brakes. They've already started to do that using 0.50 basis point hikes and signalling their intent to get to 2% by September. I still don't think that's enough to tank the economy into a recession, but they're indicating that they're willing to tank the economy very hard in order to create a glut of workers for the available jobs.

It is likely going to be worse than 2008. CMBS should pop at some point creating a financial crisis, and crypto will get stress tested and may entirely collapse (wiping out the "savings" of a lot of Millennials).

What I would be real worried about is that the Republicans are likely to take over congress this year and likely to take over the Presidency in 2024 one way or another. And the social unrest will be jacked up to 11 again and a good chunk of the Republicans are now people whose stated belief is in just letting the system collapse. Unlike 2008 they may sit on the sidelines and watch money market funds collapse, short term lending fail, payrolls fail and ATMs stop working (enough of them may realize this will tank their stock portfolios that they blink though, particularly if the Republicans are the party in power and it would fall on them).

I still continue to think that the economy is not right now in a recession and that the Fed is going to have to jack up funds higher than 2% to cause a recession (they were 2% in 2019 before the pandemic as well), but I think it is clearly coming by 2024.

They'll still panic though and drop the funds rate back down to zero and start doing QE. I don't know if it works yet again. The cycle does seem to be able to continue forever, but at some point we may reach the "pushing on a string" moment where faith in the US economy and dollar starts to evaporate, or where social unrest takes things to a whole new level.
V3 and request modification banned are two different things. The chrome still support request modification in v3 but disallow extension to use it(only allow enterprise policy or whatever to enable it). While firefox don't have plans like this (so far).
Investment or not, you’re claiming people should only buy cars and houses for straight cash? News flash - most of this country isn’t sitting in six figures of tech savings.
I was just about to mention that, loved that map.
And yes, 5/5 would play this game
I'm always trying to explain to my friends how absolutely amazing Perfect Dark multiplayer was. I wish modern FPS games had that amount of configuration. I also had completely forgotten about campaign versus mode, which would be so cool in a modern FPS game.
> but the next day it was all gone and the cycle repeated itself.

I read a great interpretation that Planetside is Valhalla and those are all warriors battling in eternity like they would.
Suzerain - does that, more from the political pov. You are elected president of a somewhat democratic country. Then you are presented with choices and the game starts.
Notion workspace to manage Instagram growth
off the top of my head i'd say its a few things:

1, don't use mental capacity for remembering things, do that in a trusted document that stores things you need to remember

2, always be (mentally) knolling, staying organized and recording things you need to refer to later should be a reflex. Supplement this with weekly reviews of everything going on in your life.

3, categorize actions into long, medium and short term tasks. A short term task is something you can do immediately if you have the right context and opportunity.

4. if you're blocked on something, figure out the next immediate task, i.e. "email user group to ask if anyone else has seen this problem before" NOT "figure out problem with spatial join"

Emacs org-mode was a huge help in getting started on this. there's a vscode port of it thats semi-usable. I haven't been a fan of other organization software.
Lobbyists care about results, not that specific people are voting. Secret congressional voting won't affect the money flowing if favorable policies are enacted even if there are some that don't vote in lock step with the lobbyists.

I saw one CVE (CVE-2022-0882) for the innocuous kernel log bug. How many CVE's did you see? As for the KASLR, this was a known issue to the Fuchsia devs.

>This is a known-issue. KASLR support on the zircon kernel is just there so that it doesn't bit-rot. We are always picking up a static address instead of a dynamic one.

>Once physboot rollout is complete, that should make it easier to support kaslr.
For those knowledgeable enough in Scheme the original microKanren - and some immediate extensions towards miniKanren - should be rather clear. It's for users of other languages, with other popular mechanisms, that questions arise. More comments for them would be welcome.

Yeah indeed, I'm just playing that now with my girlfriend. She normally doesn't play games, but she even enjoys it. I like how creative the developers are with everyday objects.
This reminds me of the Crusader Blade mod which combines Crusader Kings 3 and Banner Lord 2 to let you fight the normally simulated fights in CK3 in the battlefield of BL2, and passes results back and forth between the two interfaces.

Theoretically this does already exist in AOE2, where in the custom lobbies players select the same player number/color and have total control of the same "player".

The backstabbing aspect would be difficult, with lobbies limited to 8 individuals, there would be a max of 4x paired "players" (e.g. pair1 & pair2 vs pair3 & pair4). If teams aren't locked like in FFA diplo matches it turns into a 3v1 (pair1, pair2, & pair3 vs pair4).

Unless the game could be modded to support lobbies > 12 or 16, the diplo aspect would be limited.
Yes, if you also need users to log into Jenkins from outside the private network (without a VPN), it sounds like OpenZiti would be a good option. In my case, Jenkins is only used from within the LAN. The SQS solution authenticates GitHub webhooks using the sha256 hmac signature (not by IP), and no inbound ports need to be open.
I would model the situation as it existed about a day before the first attack on the island of Midway. Japanese forces required to adhere to their doctrinal search pattern, which was deficient. Basically, both forces required to adhere to their existing doctrine at that time. Japanese aviation superior at that time due to American inexperience in countering Japanese dogfighting (with hit-and-run tactics). American fire and damage control operations superior to the Japanese. Japanese and American flight operations very different.

There is still a problem that we know where the American forces were and when they were encountered. Probably would need an option for an ahistorical start, where the American carriers could navigate from Pearl to a different location off of Midway.

Further options: allow the Japanese to have Shokaku and Zuikaku participate in the battle (assume they were not damaged in the Battle of Coral Sea); allow the Japanese to structure their attacking fleet differently; etc

I fully agree, the 2019-2021 Bolt [1] has been my gold standard for the right combo of touch and tactile. Climate and radio preset buttons fully separate and easy to see/touch.

It's a shame they went more "slick" with the 2022 refresh, still tactile, but just more flush and less accessible without a glance. [2]

I love this idea for so many games, but I'll try to stay on topic.

From elsewhere in thread, heavily snipped:

games like that aren’t fun. It’s been tried. [...] hopping online to go do your second job [...] implies work [...] no one wants to do that work

I wouldn't want to do data entry in an FPS game, no, but people love "bakery simulator" type resource management games. It would be cool to link my grocery-line-time-waster score into my overworld bank account, enabling me to shop around for gear in stores set up (but not manually run) by other players, to use in the FPS portion of the game where I steal morsels from the full-sized humans (or am I getting my threads confused?).

It Takes Two is a masterpiece; I highly recommend it. But, as the title suggests, it indeed requires two players (only one needs to buy the game, at least on Steam).
>(live preview with swiftui/etc)

I have a similar experience (started working from scratch on an iPhone app back in January with SwiftUI). Live preview is really awful. I had to basically disable it throughout my project. It'll crash for no reason and require a manual click on a button to reload, errors it spits out tend to be unintelligible, etc. I definitely wouldn't use live preview as an example of SwiftUI being advanced and not being daunting to use.
Casual games are a tough market, because there's a shitload of competition and a lot of it's free.

I play Wordle most days. I do enjoy it. The amount I'd pay for it is $0, because there are a thousand other free options that would entertain me just as much. Maybe not even word games. Maybe just Microsoft Solitaire. Apple's Texas Hold 'Em. Minesweeper. Nokia Snake Game. Whatever. Despite playing Wordle so much, if you told me I had to pay $1/month for it or else it'd disappear completely, I wouldn't do it. Its competition includes free stuff like watching the clouds go by, or flicking little paper wads at the trash can.
If I remember correctly, SpaceX would be happy to experiment with nuclear-thermal propulsion but cited the lack of a engine test stand as reason why they aren't actively working on it. I'll see if I can find a quote for that. I am rather sure that it was by Gwynne Shotwell, COO of SpaceX. (Edit: progress! I think it's in a talk by her at MIT Road to Mars 2017. Too bad I cannot find a recording of that).

NERVA is another term to search for if you are interested in nuclear-thermal propulsion.

Ask HN: Is any company still hiring entry level engineers?
There has been a lot of talk about a historic hot job market for software engineers, but anecdotal evidence suggests that new grads and those with under a couple of years of experience are finding it impossible to break into the industry. It seems like every company wants skilled and experienced engineers and is ready to pay top dollar for them, but no one is willing to invest equivalent resources towards training and mentorship.

As someone who is speaking with a handful of people stuck in this situation, what direction should I guide them towards? Are there any job boards for such positions? Does anyone know any companies out there (YC or otherwise) that gives these recent graduates a shot?
