There are as many goals in collecting as there are collectors. Many collectors do not want to use their items as some of the items are pushing 40 years old and will not last forever. Every disc read and manual flip subtracts from their life. This may all sound silly, but compare this to Silent Era films. 75% of films from that time period are gone, forever [0]. We are still in the beginnings of the medium of games and we could fall prey to the same mistakes as previous mediums. Some section of the medium must get locked down so that future historians can study them in as much detail as possible.

Why do you think did this happen?
The thrill of owning something significant is the reason. It's like owning a piece of history.
These cities removed transit systems and housing to build roads and parking. It will take time, but doing the reverse is totally possible. Most cities were filled with streetcars and dense housing at one point.
I think this is powerful to everyone. I use that feature too and didn't even realize it was unique to VS Code. VS Code is really good in having a lot of features but not cluttering the main window.
> Don't you find it odd to use another language just for a missing language feature?

No. Why do you?

For a language to not try and have all the features it possibly can is a feature.
It's worse, because those who are rich and can afford cars don't get affected by the problems and can ignore them as they ride past in their steel chariots of doom.

But I think the correct place to do the revival is not at the city centers but at the edges; we could reduce the "land use" of suburbs by 50% or more without diminishing the quality of life, and suddenly things that don't work because the density is too low would start to make sense.

For example, it's insane that I have to have my front wall set back 40 feet from the street, which itself is 50 feet wide to allow for parking on both sides - I'd much rather have a street with no parking that was maybe 20 feet wide in total, and allow the front of the house to be right up against the sidewalk on the same lot - get more useful backyard and reduce street speed too.
Couple this with the fact that the whole "Latin[aeox]" terms aren't even inclusive to begin with. They are generally are used to broadly describe "a person from central/south America", except they are entirely Euro-centric, as if Latinos showed up to uninhabited open land. More than likely, the Qʼeqchiʼ person from Guatemala, who barely speaks Spanish, who has 100% Mayan ancestry, doesn't self identify as "Latino".
And yet some of the signers are against end-to-end encryption
Hopefully they'll define this quota in terms of sex rather than gender identity. Otherwise this is a pointless endeavour.

Their press release seems to imply this will be the case but, well, you never know these days. There's a lot of confusion and contention around this issue.

Here's an interesting article about a similar consultation in the UK and its outcome, in terms of collecting statistics on the female to male ratio in boardrooms: https://sex-matters.org/posts/the-workplace/fca-women-on-cor...
I was in New York last Christmas, as for most Christmases since my wife's family all live there, and my wife insisted we stay on the lower east side because she went to school there and had some nostalgia. The end of the block our hotel was on had a place called Katz's Deli with a line that was around the corner and a several hour wait pretty much starting at 7 AM or earlier every morning.

We never went because I didn't want to stand in line for that long, but I noticed the side of the building said they'll ship nationwide. That seemed crazy to me, like no matter how good the meal is, it can't possibly be as good once it's been in transit for a day. What sorts of meals don't degrade in texture and taste within a few hours of being cooked? I would love to send my friends and family in other parts of the country some great Texas BBQ that has no equivalent anywhere else I've ever been, but even that isn't nearly as good once it has gone cold and been reheated. Unless you ship it in a humidor, I don't see how you avoid losing moisture. Is that what they do?
* very strict deadlines decided by publishers years in advance

* incredible passion making the workforce exploitable and more tolerant of abuse

* explosive revenue growth bringing in scammers, hucksters, and MBAs

* incredible passion from consumers who will buy the same game over and over

* the advent of gambling in the form of microtransactions

* the consolidation of the industry to a handful of big publishers

* incredible technical complexity

* exclusive rights on media like star wars or sports like basketball giving some publishers a complete monopoly in some cases
Yes, things have been feeling more partisan around here lately and I fell into that trap. I went back and realized it was from justice.gov and that changed things.
> But shouldn't equity in education mean that every student gets the instruction and support they need to achieve their potential, insofar as the school is able to provide it, without respect to their race, class or sex?

You’re taking about equality. Equity is always just a euphemism for equality of outcome. Which can only ever be achieved by lowering the outcomes of top performs to the same level as the lowest performers.
Sigh. My school's computer lab had a pile of dust covered Apple ]['s sitting in the corner, circa 2005. I don't believe they'd been plugged in since having been moved into the new building ~1999. Myself and a friend offered to take them off the school's hands and free up the space, but were denied for <red tape bullshit>.
What you mean to say is that there are guys who get much more credit than they deserve when a game or for that matter any product becomes a success.

Fallout 76 seems to be a classic case of unrealistic development and testing deadlines.
Why would you commit fraud if you didn't think you could tip the results? Unless you're also saying that everybody who does this is stupid.
Basically the same idea as this article about how current college students in CS programs don't really have any conception of what a filesystem is: https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-direc...

At least Android and iOS taking over the consumer computing world has given me job security until I retire!
As stated above, by increasing the number of polling places the impact of any of these can be reduced enough to not matter. Using government ID cards or voting invitations sent by authorities before handing out the ballot helps as well, anything short of stealing the invitation wont work. And even if you steal the invitation the real person has to not show up. Because if they do, without invitation but with an ID, your fraudulent vote (singular, as in one vote) is immediately identified.

And I am describing just one way of how paper ballots work save, anonymous and at scale. You need some truly mind blowing organizational fuck up (look up the last election in Berlin) for it to not work. An even then it affected one single (?) voting district (as in polling places, not candidate districts if i remember correctly), was instantly identified and investigated and almost impossible to use to temper with the results (it was found out immediately).
You mean distributing 43GB of data to everyone rather than uploading a few megabytes of data one time and getting 250KB answer chunks? I'm not sure it compares.
> Isn't this basic demagoguery 101 -- attach huge social outcomes to the victory or loss of one political party?

Isn't the entire point of politics and political parties to change social outcomes? "Your policy X will negatively impact social outcomes because reason Y while my policy Z will positively impact them" is a huge chunk of politics.

Besides, I don't see how actually trying to measure outcomes of specific policies is "demagoguery"? The author(s) of this paper may be wrong (I didn't look too deeply at the study), but that's not the same as "demagoguery".
Shouldn't the median republican voter have an higher income (and way higher capital) than the median democrat voter?

I agree that if you go only at the top decile, the median democrat voter could make a bit more than the median republican voter (idk really), but if you take the whole population? I remember 2016 Sanders campaign funding.

Also, i went to West Virginia, an know the people there, happen to meet the local democrat (pro blue water, proponent of the redneck movement, basically a communist compared to the average american) and saw his electorate. I mean, they do live the good life, they eat venison and a lot of homegrown vegetables, they ride horses and sell lilies (no joke), brew their (mostly) bad beer and throw day-long parties on sunday where you jam from one PM to eleven (i improved more in two weeks there than in the last five year). But their income? i'd be surprised if they aren't in the last decile (or almost there).
Do you guarantee referential integrity in TAO? Last I heard the answer is no; complex queries are not supported and clients would have to do their own work with internal versions to achieve a consistent view on the whole graph (if such a consistent view even exists). But it seems to work fine since global referential integrity doesn't seem to be a big deal; there aren't a lot of cases where dependency chains are long enough or actions quick enough that it matters (e.g. a group admin adds a new user, makes them an admin, who adds an admin, and then everyone tries to remove the admin who added them [always locally appearing as if there is >=1 remaining admin], but causes the group to ultimately have no admins when transactions settle). Run into any fun issues like that?

Contrasting that with Spanner where cache coherency is solved by reading from the recent past at consistent snapshots or by issuing global transactions that must complete without conflict within a brief truetime window. I am guessing the cost of Spanner underneath the social graph would be a bit too much for whatever benefits might be gained, but curious if anyone looked into using something similar.
> Given that the above works in the browser, what exactly is it doing?

Oh, buckle up!

new DOMPoint<Number>(4,5)

Let's first clean things up a bit: DOMPoint an Number are just identifiers. So, let's replace those with a and b:

new a<b>(4,5)

Let's also add some spacing around these tokens to distinguish them better:

new a < b > (4, 5)

Yep, those < and > are comparison operators.

And let's also add some parentheses to make clear the order of operations in these comparisons. The above expression is equivalent to:

(new a < b) > (4, 5)

Now, let's remember that a is DOMPoint, so `new a` is just instantiating a new DOMPoint object. Yep, the parentheses at the end of the `new Something` calls are optional if no parameters are passed.

> new DOMPoint
DOMPoint { x: 0, y: 0, z: 0, w: 1 }

(That's the result of trying that out on a JS console. The initial > on the first line is the REPL prompt, not part of the JS syntax. And the second line is what the REPL prints.)

So the < operator is comparing a DOMPoint object to b, which is Number, which is just a constructor function. IIRC, what JS does is these kind of situations is to convert both operands to strings and then compare those.

> (new DOMPoint).toString()
"[object DOMPoint]"

> Number.toString()
"function Number() {
[native code]
}"

So the first < comparison is going to compare these two strings, and since '[' is less than 'f' (of course... ASCII), the < result will be `true`. The whole expression can then be reduced to:

true > (4, 5)

The right-hand side of this > operation, `(4, 5)`, is curious. The parentheses are just normal parentheses for grouping expressions, but what's inside of them are two expression joined together by the comma operator[1]! Basically, both expressions, 4 and 5, are evaluated, one after the other, and the result of the whole is the result of the last one:

> 4, 5
5

So, we're almost there! The whole thing can now be reduced to:

true > 5

Since one of the operands is a number, JS tries to convert the other one to a number too. `true` converted to a number yields 1, which is not bigger than 5 — finally, something that makes sense!

So now we know why the whole thing that looks like TypeScript but isn't, is valid JavaScript and evaluates to false :)

> new DOMPoint<Number>(4,5)
false

Not really a counterexample as zulip started life *outside* dropbox.
To toss you a bone, it's true that many dense areas in the US don't feel really safe.

But it doesn't have to be like this. It's very possible to build dense living spaces that are nice to live in.

But more to the point, you are free to live in the middle of nowhere if you want to. If you don't want to live in a dense area, the vast majority of residential areas in the US cater directly to you. Personally, I'd like to live in an actual city, and I'd like to pay less than $5000/month for a decent 1 bedroom apartment.

The compiler knows when this is used and can only insert type metadata when needed. io-ts and reflect-metadata are unwieldy crutches compared to a type system that's designed to influence runtime behavior (ie Rust, C++, etc).
You just do the thing. It's not like they're walking the appalachian trail or making a baby. You can start at the end, and the fact that they haven't is a serious problem.
The Netherlands are tiny and flat. A single city in the US (NYC) has half the population of the entire country of Netherlands.

You don't need a car in NYC, so --- been there done that I guess! But the rest of the US is setup differently, and people like it that way.

People who want to live NYC move to NYC, people who don't, live in places with more space.
Alas those who dont have motivation to self-select forward tend to get left behind, end up in a big, easy to manipulate block. The un-motivated & tuned-out end up centralized.
Haha, that's fair. I certainly didn't like it the first time I played it. However, I recently tried again on survival mode after a friend's recommendation, and it feels totally different. No fast travel and saving only at beds changes the game completely. Suddenly vertibirds are useful, settlements are mandatory, and the world feels absolutely gigantic rather than a sandbox separated by loading screens. Highly recommend checking it out (although it still won't scratch your RPG itch).
Everything is too spread out. That’s the main issue. You can’t magically get infrastructure to become more dense.
That's something else you couldn't do in a Chicagoland election. You could take a big stack of ballots to a booth and fill them out and file them, but at the end of the day when the polls closed, those ballots would have to match the number of pollbook registrations that used paper ballots. You can't just make those up; you can't vote provisionally with paper ballots, so all those ballots would require pollbook registrations for registered voters.
It's the same as in you are owning a piece of history (20-30 years ago is a LONG time ago in video games)
I have similar struggles with affirmative action as well. At least I understand the logic there that creating critical mass of URMs will make things for them more comfortable. The focus on rave leaves a bitter taste in my mouth though, but I also understand that there are issues with the,ore intuitive to me, goal of going straight to colorblindness.

All of those things would be better able to be done if our streets weren't 50 feet wide on average (or wider) with acres and acres of land given over to parking.
This seems strange especially when the target market seems small as I don't see many people would have such cravings to get NYC food delivered to LA. But I am not sure. On the other hand, I would really love to get some Neapolitan pizza from Napoli. :)
Now you are talking not only about a redistribution of taxed dollars but charitable time and donations from parents that want to give them to their children to less advantaged children.

Putting limits on how much a parent can help and support their child is a much more difficult ethical and political argument to make
It has though, clearly. That people are buying them and this article exists is the most obvious evidence, but there’s a whole retrograming subculture out there who collects and plays with this stuff. Ready Player One was a recent retrogaming pop culture phenomenon. Try searching for a 35 year old console on eBay and be amazed at what you find.
First, they can't be from the same party; they're deliberately mixed in Cook County. There's a Republican EJ (usually multiple) in every polling location.

Second, the story we're talking about here is about a primary election; the whole contest took place within a single party.

Third, I'm not sure why it would matter. OK, they're all Democrats. Now what? Even if all 4 EJs wanted to corrupt the results of an election, it's not super obvious how you'd undetectably do that. The paper ballots get hauled back to the central counting facility; the registrations have to match the ballots, etc.
Nothing you do to my city planning will make taking the bus at temperatures -20 and below a pleasant, desirable experience.

Everything where I live is accessible, but there's nothing you can do to make a bus schedule beat a car trip, and it's ridiculous that somebody a couple of miles away needs to be an hour away to justify a tiny bump in density for idealists.
Because a lot people want to work for games so there is high supply of willing talent. You can run them ragged and then replace as needed.
Depends on the language LSP. From my experience, it works VERY well for JS, reasonably well for Go and not that well for python. Python allows you to refactor variables if it knows the scope of it but won't work if you use star imports and moving files doesn't work at all
LPC certainly worked at 2400 baud in that timeframe. Given that the line interface was typically an acoustic coupler in the early 90s, I'm pretty sure that 2400 baud and not 2.4kBps was the actual bit rate.
:O I attended college in upstate New York, and I practically lived on the pizza from one particular pizza place there. I've been back home for 7 years, and I still crave it and miss it. If they expand from NYC to the larger New York area and include that one pizza place... I will pay any premium for it.

To anyone saying "but the pizza will be cold": I used to order an extra large chicken-bacon-ranch pizza just for me, and have refrigerated -- and not reheated -- leftovers all week. Still delicious. I've tried to recreate that pizza myself many times, and it never comes out quite the same.

...now I want pizza, dammit.
The US absolutely tore up cities to make them more car friendly. Redlining and slum clearing were used as justifications to knock down entire neighborhoods to put more roads in. Most old American cities started as port towns with streetcar suburbs, and then they tore the trains out.

We don't have medieval cities, but saying cities were designed around the car is patently false.

Yes, the fifties and sixties caused huge redesigns, but we can undo those.
Why andquot;sudo&quot; when you can just andquot;su&quot;? [video]
It's intense that the goal has to be implementing changes while also not negatively impacting car owners at all, and is a significant factor in why change on this front is so rare and so small in the US.

The fact is that yes, people who want to live in city cores and own cars there are going to have compromises. Parking needs to be less common and more expensive. Driving will become a slower, less appealing option as speed limits are reduced and more space given to other forms of transit.

These are necessary to reduce the negative impacts already experienced by people trying to use other forms of transit, or even just safely move around their neighborhood on foot. These changes will also benefit car owners! I assume y'all walk sometimes and want to have useful places to go, want to be able to cross the street without stress?

I think colejohnson66 is referring to cities that have sprawled in an uncontrolled way. e.g. Atlanta. “Solutions” coming from dense Europe are not really solutions there.
Must be because I learned some French as a kid, but I can't help reading the "oi" as a "wa" sound in this context. Probably not what the authors were going for.
Aurora 4X is pretty bad - it's as confusing as DF, but much more clumsy to use. Some dungeon crawl games have incredibly opaque UIs. System Shock 1 (non-enhanced) feels really, really terrible now, but I'm not sure it was as bad at the time.

I'm not sure those qualify as worse than DF though. Depends on your definition of worse, I guess.
Ok agreed, i would also like to have the type checker build into the language as well. But in the end, this is a scripting language. Maybe it's not too bad to not enforce it being typed, but provide a baseline to have it being typed optionally, in form of an 'official' annotation syntax.

But i'm thinking out loud now.
I don’t think we’re on the same page.

Please, please, please, make it infinitely pluggable from the start. That's the strength of Atom and similar editors. That anybody can create a plugin either for something very niche or just connect some huge amazing tooling directly to the editor.
