I know it sounds like I'm trying to hoist the majority of the complaints onto AAA, and I am, but like I mention in the article and have mentioned a few times on Twitter in other threads of the post, indies are susceptible to a lot of the same forces (if not more).

I really want to make it clear that my argument isn't "AAA BAD, INDIE GOOD", because that's far from the case. I even went back and added in some examples of indies eating each other towards similar ends, tracing the aping of Dorfromantik into two other games, and Vampire Survivors into 10 Minutes Till Dawn. There are still outliers for sure, but they are far from the norm. Also for as much as I love Disco Elysium (literally did a whole podcast series on it), it's far from "progressive" design and innovates more in the realm of tone / narrative. A lot of its appeal is that it is like older CRPGs.
I write docs every day professionally.

Even I think this is kind of dumb. You should probably write a high-level outline first, just to get your thoughts together. That could be written on a napkin for all I care, or could only exist in your mental mind palace. The important part is that you have a concrete vision for what you're trying to do. It helps to get it down physically because then you can't silently change it over time.

But real docs require someone to actually use the product, find exception/edge cases and actual behavior, and document those behaviors. An outline is a great starting point, but if you just try to write all of your docs beforehand, you'll frustrate the hell out of all of your users because your initial vision for a product never accurately describes the end result.

As alien as it might be to you to not use Rust or Go or Python, people really do write C because they like it — and they are aware of “system instability” usually :) This argument just makes its users seem worse off for projecting their righteousness onto other peoples’ personal choices.

I agree with the former, I don't agree with the latter. By nature of processes, experience and software, it is obviously far easier to push out the same thing, both in terms of time or in terms of cost. However, nothing indicates that indie developer needs to make a game in a shorter timeframe than before.

They could bring the money of their former success to the new project, allowing them to push out the game in a shorter timeframe simply by living off the profits or hiring others to help them develop. But this isn't a necessity.

> Inflation is at 40 year highs, gas is over $5 a gallon,

As far as I'm aware, it's generally accepted by economists that these things are not caused by either the FED or the Biden administration, but by:

- supply-side disruption caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, China's zero-covid policies, and general supply chain chaos following the pandemic

- demand-side disruption caused by a strong U.S. labor market and pent-up post-pandemic spending

When you have more demand than supply, prices go up.

> on the verge of a major recession.

This _is_ caused by the FED, on purpose, to fix the inflation problem by driving down demand. The FED only controls the demand-side of the equation, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when supply-side issues start to ameliorate.
The context is that electric cars are flying off the shelves in the UK now, so the argument is that the subsidy money could be spent better elsewhere.

Of course some of that could be driven by the fact that it currently costs about 1/10th the price to fuel up an electric car vs. a petrol car (at least in London).
> You don't want to know how much time I spent deciding whether to use the more conventional hyphenization ("shit-ass-load") or the version with better cadence.

It’s not a question of “cadence” but of grammar. “Shit-ass“ is an adjective modifying the noun “load”. Your choice is grammatically correct.

> without new physics somewhere we have no indication of how to fix it

This is a bit harsh. We have loads of unexplained, well measured phenomena. More clues helps. But it's not conclusively necessary.
Yes; the quality of autopilot greatly influences how much I use it. 5 years ago Tesla's was kind of nerve-wracking and I rarely used it. Now it's pretty good on highways but I don't use it on city streets. I probably will when the quality goes up. So I've gone through 10x changes in usage as quality improved.

I don't know what GM's autopilot is like, but I wouldn't assume that usage would be similar even within an order of magnitude.
It's also worth noting that if Tesla is automatically collecting these crash stats from vehicle telemetry and other manufacturers are collecting them from customer reports or vechicle service calls, Tesla's numbers are probably inflated by a factor of three (or other manufacturers are deflated by three, however one wants to call that).

The first thing Waymo learned starting out on public roads from observing their own telemetry was that NHTSA numbers (based on reported crashes and service calls) are three times lower than actual collisions because there's huge incentive to not report a collision (insurance premiums). Comparing numbers from differing data-collection approaches is an apples-to-oranges comparison.
Originally, Bitcoin had no limits in place including the block size. That was added later.

The original protocol scales to trillions of transactions per second. The secret is the Merkle tree and the block header. The block headers only take up megabytes and are easy to keep track of and distribute.

Simplified Payment Verification was outlined in the whitepaper.

The protocol is meant to be used between peers, not between users and nodes.
> Space won't work for the kind of physics the LHC does.

https://home.cern/science/engineering/cryogenics-low-tempera...

> The LHC's cryogenic system requires 40,000 leak-tight pipe seals, 40 MW of electricity – 10 times more than is needed to power a locomotive – and 120 tonnes of helium to keep the magnets at 1.9 K.

Launch cost per kg aside for the detectors and basic framework, space is the best place for pushing the boundaries of high energy physics experiments in the future.
Not so surprising, as someone who was recently in their 20s. Dating is old fashioned and very consumeristic/wealth oriented. I've also never been on a date, because my social strata only goes out to party, not to eat at expensive restaurants with dress codes and shit, or theaters with $20 popcorn. We have kitchens and netflix.
> First of all, congrats. Writing a book is difficult, and writing one that people actually enjoy reading, even more so.

Thanks. Credits go to the co-authors and the book being in a niche.

> In self-publishing, there are no rules, but it seems that the successful self-publishers, on average, spend even more time on self-promotion, which writers famously dislike doing.

Yes. We were lucky that our book got successfully promoted by the co—authors who already had some social media followers and it got picked up in the niche that it’s aimed at including some hyperlinks.

What stops fiction authors from picking a niche as well? It’s a common strategy for people who start a business to. Expecting to earn a living from day one by writing seems very unlikely even with publishers.
Keep in mind, this article is from a business school website. The perspective is going to be skewed towards whatever is perceived towards benefitting businesses.
We didn't kill our animals to consume it for our pleasure. We grew up very poor and did not have enough land to grow enough food to survive through the winter. We had a large garden and most of my summers were spent working in the garden, and much of the autumn was filled with days of standing in front of a huge pot filled with vegetables, canning them for winter.

We were not wealthy and did not have a store close enough to run to every day for fresh produce. We took care of our animals because we relied on them for our survival. We did not take that for granted, and we did not do it for pleasure.

I understand that in an urban environment, surrounded by bountiful food (most of which is raised in other countries and is only available, out of local season, because of a complex web of global trade) the idea of killing and eating an animal can seem cruel or unnecessary. But your lack of experience of true poverty and lack of access to that sort of bounteous and constant source of non-animal products does not make all meat eaters inhumane and uncaring.

I find your broad, general statements of moral superiority because of your vegan lifestyle to be ignorant and a result of having grown up in opulence and wealth, surrounded by bounty and options, with little reflection or concern for those who did not grow up in those circumstances, or consideration as to whether they could still be moral and respectful in their desperation and struggles to survive.
Is it? What countries is it solved in? Do their demographics look like ours (hint: no.) Most of us get by just fine without healthcare. Some of us certainly could use it but that's not what nearly all of us care about right now, that is in every way another problem for old people (and probably another way they're going to fuck us all over.)

Edit: No Australia is mostly White with the largest minority (5%) being Chinese. Try again. Also, I'm done empathizing; I'm warning/threatening everyone.

You can't predict the future (I will caveat this by saying I have faith in my religious beliefs, and what the future will look like, but this is another discussion).

Although we can't predict the future we can observe well known facts. There is a link between a better educated society and a more prosperous society. There is a link between hard work and prosperity. It is also true to say that timing is a key factor in the world of business.

Knowing these links the best thing you can do is continue to work hard as you have been. Those who guarantee success by a particular method are either selling you something or assuming their story is your story.

Work hard and do your best, all you can do.

Fully operational. On arm/linux it is trivially easy to use, tends to just work out of the box (ldc offers packaged downloads on their website, gdc is in the Raspbian repository, etc). If you are doing bare metal and/or strictly limited hardware resources it is a little more work to be productive with minimal runtime but still not hard if you're familiar with how to do it.
I think my gripe is the same as all racist comments. Applying something that's true for a small subset to the whole group. If you want to be specific about what type of Jews support this practice, it's a very specific community of Ultra Orthodox Jews. I tend to fall on the side of all extremism being bad, so if someone wants to say the most extreme practitioners of a given religion are bad, then that's fine. But one should not don't talk about Jews as a whole when it is but a small subset within the Ultra Orthodox community.

This, a million times. Tech nerds love cooking up elaborate technical solutions to this problem (I’ve seen it here in several threads over the years) but completely ignore the legal requirements and expectations around establishing next of kin and executing probate.

My recommendation always remains the same: don’t over complicate it and work with the existing societal processes. Society deals with people dying all the time. All major companies, industries, etc. have means for dealing this which have established legal precedent and won’t get anyone in the shit by following them. Let those processes unfold and instead focus on providing your loved ones with the means of having what they need to do so.

You can't ask women this, see instead who the men are that get the most girls, there's your answer. Actions speak louder than words, and women are infamous for their cognitive dissonance in the field of mating.

> pretty people who are single say the same thing about people with money. People with money say this about younger people. Turns out its never their fault, and its just something unattainble someone else has.

Your body is yours, and you are free to wreck it. However, society shouldn't have to pay for your bad behavior via higher health insurance premiums.

I'm all for legalizing recreational drugs, including meth, heroin, whatever. Go to a drug or liquor store, show an ID, and get whatever you want. We do it with alcohol, why not drugs?

But people who decide to get hooked on shit that's bad for your body - drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar/snacks - should have to pay all their health costs out of pocket, other than X fixed months of health counseling to help them get unhooked.

Is it terrible that tobacco companies get people hooked? Of course it is. But kids (and adults) are not completely stupid. They know that smoking and vaping are not good for ones health, but they do it anyway. Whatever regulations the government creates will somehow get bypassed by companies (add a different ingredient that is addictive other than nicotine), and some people are going to continue to do things that they know are bad for their health, because they have no discipline and are irresponsible.

Here's a thought: force the cigarette companies to pay for the health insurance of people who smoke, the snack and soft drink companies pay for the people who are obese, and allow pharmaceutical companies to manufacture meth, heroin, cocaine, etc and sell it in liquor stores, but they also have to pay health insurance for their "users", I mean "customers". It's still dumb because all of these put unnecessary strain on the health system, but at least society isn't paying for it.
Welcome to Our Lightning Wiki
As I understand it, Matter uses Thread to communicate with low power devices.

Thread uses the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC.

Zigbee also uses the IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC, using the same frequency bands as Thread as far as I understand it.

Maybe a new radio is needed if you want BLE commissioning (is this required?), but for operation any chip with a IEEE 802.15.4 PHY should support both Thread and Zigbee.
I think your reading is about right, though I'm not sure about your application of it to the current situation. The "crisis" being discussed today in physics is quite different from the ones Kuhn describes--in some ways it is the opposite situation. For Kuhn, as you note, the crisis comes when existing theoretical models prove completely inadequate to make sense of new data, so the old model has to be largely thrown out and a new paradigm built in its place.

Today's crisis in physics (if that's what it is) seems to be that, even though our existing model seems incomplete for theoretical reasons (lack of harmonization between models, for example), it continues to fit all the empirical data we have been able to generate. Really, we are hoping to stumble upon a new paradigm, but we can't seem to make it happen.

That particular argument also falls flat, at least with the given information, since there have been plenty of industry partners in defining the USB specs.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Is your point that you still have romantic interactions with your preferred sex but that it isn't in the "dating" form? Or are you saying the entire thing is old fashioned and something you're uninterested in?
There's also a difference in US and Europe conventions. In Europe, there's typically a 2-year MS followed by a 3-6 year PhD. In the US, these are typically combined into a single 5-8 year PhD program. So an "all but dissertation" phase in Europe is the entirety of the program, it's only the second (and most important) part in a US program.

I see your point, I even heard something like this from a female acquaintance: "oh, I dance bachata because I just love the dance, why are they all hitting on me?!"

And yet, I can hardly believe that the dance where the main point is "how to make a girl grind on your crotch in a way that is acceptable in public?" can be seen as just a dance and nothing else. Before you ask, yes, I danced bachata for many years.

As for online dating per se, if we accept that there are a lot more men on dating apps than women, it means only a minority of single women use them at all. If you rely only on apps you will miss out on a huge part of your dating pool. Who wants that?
on macOS Monterey, the authentication pop-up dialog doesn't have focus when it appears

Good.

Focus has really become a problem on Macs.

When I switched from Windows to Macs, programs were not allowed to steal focus from what you were doing. To me, it was an amazing thing to not be interrupted for every little piddly thing that some background process deemed to be the most important thing in the world. I was so much more productive when I wasn't being constantly interrupted, as I was in Windows.

Then, not too long after Snow Leopard, that changed. Programs here and there started asserting themselves. Now it's like Windows days, and it's awful.

Even Apple is guilty of this. A few days a week, I plug in four encrypted drives. It takes about five minutes for them to mount, so I go work on other things. I'll be happily typing away at something, and then suddenly find what I'm writing is being typed into the password field to unlock one of the drives.

Finder — perpetually awful — can't even keep focus on itself in the middle of some tasks. Even on a brand new M1 machine, 90% of the time, when I Shift-Command-N to create a new folder, focus will land in some random window or pane. The new folder was created, but it's just "untitled folder" all by itself, because Finder decided to go scratch its butt. Or sometimes the name of the folder is the first few characters I wanted it to be, because in the middle of typing the name, Finder switched focus to something else. Or when I switch to some other program, and then switch back to Finder a good percentage of the time, I find out that none of the windows are in focus, and none of them are focusable with Command-~ at all. So, I have to go back to the trackpad to select the right window. The window I was using twelve seconds ago, the last time I was using Finder.

I think allowing any pop-up to demand focus is a serious security flaw. I've sometimes found myself typing a password into a browser, or a word processor, because they've decided that they are the most important thing in my life at that moment.

I see, the American strategy seems to be increase competition to ensure prices are fair. A big problem being the corruption in the government through lobbying having a positive EROI such that companies are blocking good anti-trust policies (such as requiring transparency on prices) .

A lot of people are negative about how America does things, but as far as I can tell most of the issues stem from corruption via money in politics. Capitalism and Market Economies seem to work well, but Crony Capitalism and Citizens United seem to just be friendly names for corruption.

One subsidy, there are still big subsidies on leasing electric cars (no tax or employment tax has to be paid on this), as well as zero road tax, fuel tax and other incentives.

Electric cars are cheap enough now anyway that the subsidies don't really make sense, they've done their job establishing a market but keeping the subsidy in place now is just a distortion pushing nominal prices up.
