Wait, but consumer polling proves the point though? People are miserable BECAUSE their dollar buys less. The benefactors of such a policy are those with diversified assets.

Wages should increase in response, not decrease. Inflation hits different sectors differently, and I'm OK with a PS5 inflating 300% if it means that a person on a minimum wage can have food security.
I'd counter that and say one should consider any advice in terms of the motives for giving it whether it comes from a member of one's own sex or the opposite. Talking to the opposite sex, for example, may only result in receiving information in what opposite sex believes about themselves rather than what they actually do.

The point shouldn't be to get over this type of thinking per se, but rather to determine which type of thinking is most consistent with reality and subsequently dispense with the rest as chaff and empty platitudes. If "man-o-sphere logic" is ineffective or counterproductive, then the only way to find out is to scrutinize it or apply it and observe the outcome.
Yep, this tracks.

My wife and I have been playing co-op Stardew Valley lately, and while it's a "farming sim", most of the ugly parts of farming are conveniently left out:

* cleaning up animal poop
* spreading animal poop on fields
* slaughtering animals / pest control
* working with deadly tools like power take-offs
* competing with giant factory farms [though we just finished the first in-game year, so maybe Joja Corp will start having that effect in future years]

Almost the essence of game design is "oversimplifying life in a way that makes it fun while leaving the player with meaningful connections to their reality".
> If your formula is sufficiently wrong, which is the rule not the exception, you can’t make up for it with perseverance.

It's not a simple decision, at least based on my personal experience. If you have a good team, a good market, and economics that let you exist in the market until you get the product right, it's worth hanging in there for a really long time. The reason there's "selection bias" on persevering is that it's how a lot of companies actually succeeded.

It's not just tech, either. There's a reason why people like Eddie Cantor said "It takes 20 years to make an overnight success."
"always carried penny pouches, because they remembered a time when one had to keep track of cents to survive."

Sure. But you also have to realize that a loaf a bread cost a nickle and that cards didn't exist. People carried around change because you could actually buy meaningful stuff with it and there wasn't really an alternative to cash (sure someplaces give credit but much different than using a card today).
It seems relevant that all the "chore" games mentioned seem to be single player games where at most you compete against a few computer players that don't mind losing. In almost every job you will be playing multiplayer, and competing for scarce resources like promotions, money and power. The pressure, lack of transparency and politics stem from the fact that people in the workplace are usually interested in furthering their career over time and (except for the most rockety of rocket ships) can only get that if some of their colleagues don't.

Even "do X, get Y" type of deals are a threat, since the amount of Y is finite and the more that goes to others, the less that goes to you. It gets even worse when you take into account that people can lie. Someone might only be pretending to be happy "doing X" for the rest of their lives and will actually stab their coworkers in the back for a promotion. The guys at the top are definitely not unaware of this dynamic.

Five Gold Ingots from China, Looted from an 18th Century French Shipwreck
The five gold ingots, used as currency by Chinese traders, were among the treasures picked up by some discreet divers around 1975 from the ocean floor off the coast of France. The ship they had been on, the Prince de Conty, was a frigate that belonged to the French East India Company, and it was just ten miles from shore, about to return to port at Lorient, France, when it sank amid fog and rough seas and an apparent navigational error by its captain on December 3, 1746. On board was tea, lots of Qing Dynasty porcelain, and around 100 gold ingots embossed with Chinese characters — each worth about $25,000 in today's dollars. Nearly 200 men drowned, and only 45 onboard survived the wreck.

That's not a legitimate comparison of the situation, because if you can bypass the paywall to be able to read it usually means the data is already on your device for you to read in the first place, it's just "hidden" in some shitty way.

I would compare it with a physical newspaper company sending you the newspaper covered in some tamper-resistant material that lets you read the first rows only. I see no reason why you shouldn't try to tamper with that cover given that you effectively own it now.

Go full "log in to read this" (by which I mean only sending the data you intend EVERYONE to read even when the user is not logged in) and then it's a fair comparison.

EDIT:
> I know people here will come up with ~~reasons~~ excuses for justifying this theft, but it just reinforces the entitled nature of well-paid tech workers in my mind.

I think the industry that has given rise to shitty paywallish implementations should justify themselves as well, then.

NB: I pay/have paid for news sources, including ones that I appreciated but had literally no time to read. However, this sort of approach to "protecting IP" is particularly stupid, so I feel no remorse bypassing it (I do it manually, though, it's more satisfying).
Is this Groundhog Day? How many more times will IE be declared dead? Official support is irrelevant if the browser is still stubbornly used by users. Most websites have moved on more than 5 years ago.

Chrome has dominant market share, non-standardized features, and powerful corporate backing.

Safari doesn't have the newest standards always, but mostly sticks to the standards from what I know. The major difference seems to be a lot of devs liking Chrome.
Everyone's character, behaviors, preferences, etc, etc, are formed in very large part by their life experience.

If I had a nickle for every time someone said something about the poors being scarred or broken and then in short order started spewing nonsense about how the poors have minimal agency, need guidance or protecting from themselves, are doing it wrong, etc, etc. I would be a very wealthy man. And a hell of a lot of HN would be poorer in $.05 increments.

Did you (in general, not personally) ever think that maybe it's all the upper middle class types who are doing it wrong and the only reason we get away with it is because we have money to sustain the lifestyle?

People who act like cheapskates, buying $500 cars, $20 Walmart jeans, while their peers sneer about the $2k Camry, and $50 Levis being a "better value", seem to do well at all levels of the economic ladders and even frequently improve their lot in life.
After thinking about this for a bit, the decision to avoid including this functionality is probably for the best.

Even though I would love for this feature to exist, I can see people unintentionally shooting themselves in the foot and not understanding why.

Often when you run up against call stack limitations, you actually need to reconsider the algorithm being used.

Trampolines can be used to bypass the call stack limitation. As an advanced technique, the majority of people having issues with a call stack problem will reconsider their solution before thinking about jumping on the trampoline.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't do basic research, far from it, more that I learned that given the way basic research actually works then I had relatively little interest in actually doing it myself.
Your base assumption is that every American eats one hamburger per day?
Split out with and without driver assistance is fine, but I only care about the combined total. If there's higher accidents in X make/model vs Y make/model, that's a more useful data point. I don't need every detail on extenuating or contributing circumstances split out to decide the overall risk of the car itself versus the driver. Plus I don't trust any of the manufacturers to categorize accidents either fairly or consistently among each other.
I 100% welcome higher gas prices. Americans are so wasteful it's ridiculous. It'll hurt if you're currently in an inefficient car but once you get a hybrid / EV you won't care. I don't even look at the price filling up my Prius.

SUVs that look like school buses and people commuting to an office job in full size trucks is madness.
Idk, theres been no major progress since the 60s-70s after QCD, String Theory is a complete dead end and there aren't any great candidate theories out there. So the lack of findings certainly hasn't helped.

It's ERC721, and cubes are non-fungible. I made it so the contract token ID corresponds to the cube ID directly, as a little nice-to-have (it was really just a big pet peeve when it wasn't). That's a really good question: not once did I consider that cubes could be fungible; I'd always assumed that they'd have the intrinsic property of a (x,y,z) location tied to their ID.

I dislike the extra spacing that HN requires for that style. And unfortunately I'm not aware of any way to do line to next line without the surplus spacing. I have always thought it would be a rather useful formatting option here.
This. I've traveled to South America and without exception, there was always at least a town square or something similar where people can congregate. Many times there are music events or other types of festivities on the weekends and cheap vendors with wares or selling a quick bite of food. In this type of environment, it's a lot easier to say hello and even chat with strangers. Kids can go play with other kids. It's awesome and I definitely get that feel of community.

The closest thing we have to that in America that I've personally experienced, is the American shopping mall. Where we all gather for the purposes of....materialism and consumption??? Not knocking on consumerism, but it's definitely not the same as lively public town square.

At any rate, the heyday for shopping malls has passed. Maybe it's just because I'm an introvert and don't get out much, but other than actual festivals, I can't think of any places here in America that foster the same sense of community as those public spaces I encountered in South America.
How does that make any sense? Aren't student graduates actually paid to do those residency programs? If it's too expensive to train them, can't they take a pay cut? How come no other profession requires federal funding for placing/training graduates? Makes absolutely no sense unless you uncritically accept the status quo.

This is quite a lot of gymnastics you're doing here to justify to yourself why you don't want to pay to read people's news stories.
I'm not sure it is. Yes, an AI solution isn't necessarily an easy problem to solve, but once it is solved, it scales extremely well. Having someone pick strawberries by robot does not. For every robot, you need an individual at the helm. How do you train them? How do deal with fluctuations in the number of people interested in picking at any given time? In a game like described above, part of the appeal is people have 0 obligations. They can start when they'd like, they can finish when they'd like, and there is no real world prize/penalty based on how well/poorly they perform. A person can hop on for 30 seconds or 5 hours, on a whim. They can get distracted, completely screw up, or sit idly while they do something else, and there are no real world consequences. If you try to recreate that same lack of obligation for a real world problem, you very likely could be setting yourself up for hurdles you simply can't deal with. If you begin to add consequences, you remove the appeal of the games with no obligations, and people won't participate.

AI is hard to get going, but I'm not sure it is any more difficult than some of these other options, and once you do, you will scale far better.

> I think "nightmare" is a bit sensational.

My thoughts exactly. So this journal is owned by American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (cool acronym, that was close). Which according to wikipedia is a non-profit. What motivates an organization like that to produce clickbaity articles like this? I thought money was the primary motivation for such journalistic behavior.
A big percentage of mushrooms and game is still not fit for consumption today in Germany because of Chernobyl. So it's not just local.

And even if, Germany is more densely populated than the Ukraine. The Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine is the same size as the state of Saarland.
Success wasn't guaranteed in the ancient world either. Even if you were cultivating crops, a drought you couldn't control could wipe out your crops. Or baddies could invade and steal your stuff and kill your people en masse.

Overall, we have way more security than the ancient world did. Droughts are still a problem as the western US has been seeing, but at least we're at a point today where it just means food prices go up rather than food vanishing entirely and requiring migration to other countries or something.

As for stress, largely European workers don't seem to feel the pressures that American workers do, which probably boils down to in part a mix of higher taxes leading to better safety nets as well as generally much more vacation time from work. Also politics in European countries generally isn't as polarized, though by no means is it perfect.
People often forget that in the IE4 days, IE was leagues beyond Netscape. It had far better CSS and JS support, and you could do things that wouldn't be possible in Netscape for years.

That said, it all came to an end after Microsoft "won" and disbanded the IE dev team, resulting in that era of stagnation we all remember.
Plenty of us didn't always have 'a couple hundred cash' at all, much less 'free' to just carry around 'in case of emergency'. I can now, but don't for the most part, partially because of decades of not being in that position. We have a modest amount of cash on hand at home - we sometimes pay service folks in cash, or can tip a delivery person now and then, but those are rare instances. Neighbor kids selling door to door now and then too, but even then I wrote a check last time, directly to a school fundraiser, didn't just hand over cash.

If we needed to leave due to an emergency, some cash may help for a hotel, probably, assuming it's far enough away to have power/water.

If there's earthquake/hurricane/etc with resulting power outages, most of the places I'd go to wouldn't be able to even open their POS systems to take cash in the first place.
I suggest that you be comfortable with the fact that you might spend the rest of your life single. I don't mean that you should stop pursuing a partner, but you should not let it bother if you don't find one. You can live a fulfilling life no matter who you're with.

I know several people who stayed single late in their lives, and they are happy and have many friends. I know some others who married late in life, and they are also happy.
I found IE11 pretty useful recently.

I made to the web UI of a firmware device, and needed to check whether it will work with old browsers as far back as IE9.

Because IE11 has an emulation mode, I didn't have to install IE9.

Thank you, IE11!

F# can't become big for the same reason C# isn't bigger and Swift probably won't be bigger either. It's locked into an OS-specific platform and very specific non-free dev tools.

convince space organisation like nasa to have it written on some satellites which will be pushed into graveyard orbit when its service is over. satellite in graveyard orbit can last for really very long. even if the life as we know today is destroyed, satellites in graveyard orbit will still be there.
Not sure it's worth thinking about. You would think that a sufficiently powerful simulation could procedurally generate an arbitrary level of detail so there wouldn't really be gaps.
> If you're accusing

I'm not, I agree that if I was then I would need evidence.
The whole "issue" is very strange to me. Proper tail calls (PTC) without the extra syntax are literally free performance boosts for existing code.

The whole "stack frames" argument is a red herring:

* Nobody expects stack frames to exist for every `for` loop which is the biggest practical use for PTC

* Stack frames go away the second you release control back to the event loop which is by far the more pernicious problem.

* Stack frames essentially just capture the continuation anyway. If my function `blah()` calls `foo()` and `bar()` before blowing up on `baz()`, neither of those functions will be captured by the stack frame which is no different than a CPS (continuous passing style) with PTC where you have `foo()` that returns `bar()` that returns `baz()` and `baz` throws. In BOTH cases, you'll see the stack frame for `baz`, a stack frame for `blah()` and frames for whatever called `blah()` up to the top of the stack or where the event loop made the stack frames disappear anyway.

* EDIT: I almost forgot to mention, but you can activate a "shadow stack" when the debugger is open (just like they already disable most optimizations when it's open) which can give you your reams of useless stack traces as your function executes a million times in a loop.

In short, programmers have performance to gain and not much of real value to lose by implementing PTC without syntax.
I'm unsure why Gmail didn't render the image. It sure as hell renders all of the ones I get if the email itself is not flagged as spam (as in this case). The image is embedded into the email, so there is no privacy or tracking issue from rendering it.
Not just hundreds of Gigawatts, but also tens of thousands of Gigawatt-hours. Unless you're willing to accept regular black-outs, you need to build enough capacity to account for the occasional long, sustained period of cloudy days with low wind. The cost of that extra necessary-but-rarely-used capacity needs to be factored in to any comparison of wind/solar vs other energy sources.

In something like a swingset my first consideration would be safety, make everything from stuff that I'm 100% sure isn't going to surprise me one way or another, and given that it is a dynamically loaded structure with kids doing 'creative' stuff with it I'd aim for overkill rather than getting it 'just so' or working for something that looks good but that may not be strong enough.

If it's going to be outdoors in the weather over a very long period of time I would not count on glue (unless you have very good process control and know exactly what the long term properties will be) but I'd use steel to connect the various wooden bits, typically hole through (large diameter), then epoxy the hole and then drill again (smaller diameter). That stops the wood around the hole from rotting away. You also want to take care in what kind of wood you use in the first place a nice wood for stuff like that is Tamarack, which doesn't rot.
