> I would suggest working on a rewrite of the editor that allows real-time runtime editing of content, scripts, prefabs, scenery, etc where everything can be saved / persisted without having to click Stop. In other words, you're ALWAYS running by default. This is how HeroEngine works for example, and it's really cool to be able to create an entire world WHILE the game is running.

I'm pretty sure that's how they demo'd DOTS/ECS lately.

> When I hit play the game should launch and simulate immediately, there's no excuse for the extremely long load times. Unreal shines here in comparison. This really slows down development.

These days (unless you enable domain reloading) entering and exiting play mode is... reasonably fast-ish. But yeah, the editor could use an overall 10x increase in responsiveness. It's pretty bad.

> I would recommend extending personal assistance, e.g. assigning someone to be a studio's success guide that sticks around from beginning to end.

I thought Unity does this for customers. Not sure how extensively. They sell a lot of licenses.
I don't think they get to determine whether they get prosecuted by the FCC.
No idea if I'm typical or an outlier, but I have a couple of syntax highlighting plugins, NLKNguyen/papercolor-theme, a vim rc file with my favorite keybindings (e.g. faster navigation among splits), and a python file with some helpers for opening terminals in vim and... that's it.

Every once in awhile I think I might do a fancier setup but then I lose interest. Ditto for checking out neovim. I'm sure I'd get some gains, but I guess I've sort of settled into a decent sweet spot that I haven't left for almost a decade, haha (been using vim for ~25 years total).
Homerow: Navigate macOS Like Vim
I'm not the author of the game so not sure exactly what they meant by that, but that game uses Websockets which are built on top of TCP, so developers shouldn't have to deal with dropped packets (and our UDP implementation will have automatic retry built in as well)
I mean, my use of belly up is definitely hyperbole. But, that the position of say, 12,000 usd per coin expiring in December is a huge enough dip from current prices that it is likely to come true only in the event of a large crash, and during the last crash Binance froze withdrawals and there was a large backlog of “stuck” transactions on the blockchain. I don’t know how these options execute but if I have to move bitcoin on the blockchain to unwind the position I would be afraid of being able to actually unwind it at the most favorable price in a time window, making the risk actually higher than typical models. Or maybe I dont know what I am talking about and Binance options wouldn’t need to actually move coins on the chain to close out the position?
> pay someone to not grow alfalfa for export to the middle east

Or just add tariffs for anything we'd like to curb export of - that's the traditional solution, and it does work. Then turn around and use the tariff proceeds to further alleviate water issues.
I switched to NeoVim and then back to Vim a few years ago. I ran into some bug that prevented my setup from working correctly that forced me back. Vim has been working fine for me and I haven’t found the motivation or a reason to try and switch again.
I am often thinking in first and second derivatives in real life as well. Even if I can't put real numbers on them you can often tell if they're at least "positive" or "negative". Most people think in the zero'th derivative, or to put it less math-y, that tomorrow will be the same as today, indefinitely. If you directly ask them "Do you think that is the case?", of course they will say "No", and in some sense it'll even be true they believe that. But I mean, look at their actions, look at their reactions to possible futures when they try to think about them, look at what contingencies they plan for and how hard they commit to them, and by their actions you can tell they are zero-derivative thinkers at heart. While this is hardly a recipe to predict the future with total certainty, it is at least a way of grappling with it more effectively than zero-derivative thinking.

I suppose super geniuses beyond my level could operate in third derivatives and beyond, though I think the utility starts to diminish quickly after the second. (I think it starts getting swamped by your uncertainty.)
> As for merchant fraud, users are expected to establish business relationships with trustworthy vendors

That might work for large transactions, or repeated small transactions with the same vendor (assuming there isn't a major regression of trust), but it utterly collapses at scale and diversity of buyers and sellers who can't possibly vet each other for trust (AKA any modern economy). It also would balkanize/silo trade.

> and hold them accountable themselves.

Sounds a lot like the old "break some kneecaps" approach. There's a reason such accountability mechanisms tend to be utilized in criminal enterprises.
The deadline for "gateways" (meaning telephone services providers that receive and forward calls from international numbers) is still next summer.

Most spams calls have bene originating through those gateways for the past few months, so this deadline arriving shouldn't have any immediate impact.

TIL about set shiftround... that would definitely help with > commands...
It’s definitely a deep rabbit hole. There’s a lot to figure out - even as an old vim user moving to a more modern neovim setup about a year ago.

One of the issues I found was that every plugin seemed to reference other plugins and you need to figure out how to make them play nicely together yourself. Most of the best info is just buried in GitHub issues and neovim was such a moving target that everything needed more digging into to get working correctly.

For me now essentials include; Telescope, Trouble, Cmp and a good LSP setup.
If Republicans match their 2010 performance, which seems very possible, they’ll win the House in 2022 by 6 million+ votes. Do they get to declare everything the Biden administration did “minority rule” when that happens?
A prior workplace had a group of people that would, daily after lunch, do a basic workout to keep the blood flowing. I loved this, and the social component made it easy. We did two minutes of lunges or squats, two minutes of plank, two minutes of wall sits, two minutes of push-ups, or something like that.

For anti-myopia, lots of natural light from big windows could help, giving you things to look at. For my own poorly lit space, I added bright lights that try to match the sun's visible spectrum. Though, who am I to say, one of my eyes has been getting blurry in the periphery lately...

A workplace that is flexible enough and not militantly busy allows you to take breaks during the day to go on walks. I work from home and do this at least once a day during the workday. It does take time I could be filling out tickets, but I find it revitalizes me, clears my head, helps me process emotions enough that it's absolutely worth it from a productivity perspective.

But part of what you're saying is that perspective is inherently antithetical to the type of rhythm that values movement. It would be naive to think that the point where well-being is at it's peak is also the point where maximal value is created for the company. I don't know how to get to the point where we value the one over the other, as a society. Ideally we don't have targeted solutions, but the kind of environment where the behaviors we want just "fall out" naturally... Having a real say in the type and manner of work and working environment would go a long way.

Structuring cities with better public transit would help cut down the sitting commute. At my prior job, I had maybe 40 minutes of walking there and back (+20 on the train), this was built in to my schedule, no special effort required. If I had a car I would have had much less daily exercise. (And I recognize we do not live in the kind of society where everyone has that time to spare, and that's a damn shame.)

I've also been thinking about hobbies that just involve more exercise. (Have personally found exercise for it's own sake hard to sustain.) How do I design my daily environment such that being active is the path of least resistance? (Maybe walking to the grocery store, and getting fewer things so I go more often. Maybe having my standing desk be easy to use.)

The answer might be just having less work, and more time to do things on your own. More breaks, more discretionary time, fewer hours worked. Remote work is good for this, valuing work done over butts-in-seats time.
The effects of sentient AI may wash over society even before we would have such a machine.

Blockchain transactions are really just messages that can optionally include payments. A logical retail transaction that can be reversed can be modeled on top as a series of messages, very similar to how credit card clearing works.

> A hell of a lot of Tesla customers paid $thousands for self-driving, since, what, 2016? Tesla just laid off its whole self-driving department. What are the odds they will now issue refunds? Care to bet?

Refunds for what? Every feature I bought the car with is still there. Even got the FSD beta access last month after being on the waitlist for a while. Updates still keep getting pushed, fixes and adjustments still get deployed on a regular basis. The self-driving program isn't ending, the development is still ongoing and alive, so I am not sure why I should be expecting a refund for that.

Also, get your news right. The people they recently laid off were mostly working on labeling data, they were not actual self-driving engineers. Labeling data is a pretty common and manual type of a task. I am actually surprised they've been doing it in-house for so long, as opposed to contracting it out. Not trying to justify that layoff, but claiming that it indicates the end of their self-driving program is ridiculous at best (and disingenuous at worst).

> anyone expecting Starlink will treat you better than AT&T does, and to act on behalf of the US, is very unfamiliar with both history and Elon Musk

You can make that statement about literally any company, and it is always a fool's errand to guess instead of evaluating that specific thing in question. You can say the same about Google, but I've been a happy Google Fiber/Webpass customer for the past few years. I can say nothing but good things about it, after many years of terrible experience with Comcast/Xfinity, and a few much better (but still worse than Google Fiber/Webpass) years with WaveG (WA area fiber provider).

In this specific case with Starlink, you don't need to guess either. If you live in an area where they provide service, you can sign up and compare it to any currently existing internet solutions for areas with no high-speed internet (rural and far-from-major-cities areas), which is the primary use case that Starlink was designed for.

Back to the original point about "private tech company as a soft power for the US government is a ridiculous idea." In the present day, we got Ukrainian Vice PM tweeting[0] his expression of gratitude towards the US government and Starlink for providing connectivity during their current crisis. What is this if not a proof of that soft power US can exhibit through private tech companies?

Obviously it's not controversial now because that's how things have been done for more than 200 years, but the Constitution is far from explicit that they have that power.
> Speed

Bitcoin can handle 7 transactions per second, on average. VISA can handle 1,700.

> Security

Your bank account is secured with a password. If compromised, you can prove your identity in person at a bank with government documents and obviously physical appearance. Bitcoin has one method of authentication, the signing key, and once you lose it, you have lost your account.

> Privacy

Every transaction you make as well as your balance is public on a blockchain. Your bank account is private only to you and the bank itself.

> Trust

This one is more subjective and I won’t really comment if I trust Chase or Coinbase more, but I will say this is somewhat ironic on a post about how Coinbase is selling IP data to ICE.
Duolingo uses it for their in app ads.

No one leaves all their Bitcoin on a laptop. Even casual users today most likely have a backup of some kind. The process is easy now; buy a hardware wallet or use a phone app, write down the backup words, done.

> Being able to call your bank or credit union and have them freeze your cards, reverse fraudulent charges

The only reason I've ever had to do this is because traditional payments security is so shitty. Forgive me if I'm not impressed that the fiat payments system has measures to deal with problems that it created.

No one can make a fraudulent charge on my Bitcoin wallet.

The last time Chase detected a fraudulent charge on my credit card, they helpfully did a chargeback on a bunch of other random non-fraudulent transactions without asking me, which led to many hours of bullshit for me to deal with. I had to move insurance companies because progressive stopped letting me pay with a credit card.

There's a thread circulating on twitter about the 24 worst decisions from this SCOTUS term, and, because I don't like Twitter threads, I took the time to skim all the decisions. So this stuff is fresh in my head.

You're being unfair to the liberal justices here --- there are surprising votes from liberals on QI cases (Rivas-Villegas, Talehquah), habeas (Brown v Davenport), state secrets (Zubaydah), social spending (Vaella-Madero), and immigration (Aleman Gonzalez). You cannot simply predict a liberal justice's opinion from their ideological inclinations. Not even Breyer, who is the most boring liberal justice (he wrote the opinion on Zubaydah).

Meanwhile: Gorsuch is often surprising --- not just on the Native American sovereignty cases, but also on habeas (Shoop) and immigration (Patel, an excellent Gorsuch dissent).

The other conservative justices? Not so much! In particular: you can reliably predict Alito and Thomas, the two most blinkered justices on the court regardless of ideology.

By the way, and apropos nothing here, everyone should read Egbert v Boule, not just because it's absolutely the most ludicrous (and funny) case you'll ever read about that reaches SCOTUS, but because it's a far-reaching and bad decision.
This argument comes up often, but I've never understood how tyranny of the minority is any better.

As Vim9 comes alive, and Neovim community focuses on Lua plugins instead, it seems this release is finally the update that will put a hard branch on the two communities. Up until now, most plugins (except Lua-only ones of course) have worked in both editors, but it doesn't seem like Vim9 will be supported in Neovim, so I guess what people go with now, will decide what you might stick with in the future (unless you're eager to switch development environments).

>> LARPing as game developers

That's harsh in my opinion. In entertainment and media there are always more people who want to do a thing than can be supported: musicians, actors, comedians, artists, etc.

Sometimes amateurs become pros. Sometimes people "LARPing" -- as you call it --make games I really enjoy. So I think its cool that people try their luck at game development even knowing most won't make a living at it.

Housing: I wouldnt say that large families in tiny houses was ever desirable or good. You might want to check other factors in your sample of parents/grandparents such as class, housing market, family culture, etc. From the people Ive talked to, my peers' parents' generation had a better QOL in their home and fewer people in the home than either today or in the preceding generation. But again, thats anecdotal.

Daycare: public funding for community resources like daycare/childcare as well as PTO for childcare has atrophied after decades of austere policy. Its not always a choice to not utilize childcare options. I am not religious and I dont have an extended family to rely on, so my options are... privatized childcare because community based options are nonexistant. not to mention the need for dual-income families to keep up with rising cost of living

Education: public school funding has atrophied after decades of austere policy. Not to mention ass-backwards funding structures that prioritize high-income neighborhoods over poor neighborhoods. US job markets are also unreasonably obsessed with college credentials, so you have families taking out loans they cant afford to give their child a chance. And hey those loans make homeownership even harder.

This idea that it is the individual's choice to make things expensive ignores a host of other systemic factors that remove choices from the board. We COULD make education better and cheaper for everyone. We COULD dedicate resources to help support new families. We COULD make housing more affordable for everyone. We kinda have to stop blaming individuals for things out of their control.
The fzf plugin is really nice for navigating through files and for code search, but not really necessary.

It sounds like Github needs to index the license of where it obtained code, and check the license of a project using co-pilot so that it only suggests GPLv3 code for compatible projects. I'm not sure that it is really enough, enforcement is tough, it could be like one of those "are you 18" checkboxes.

I get the impression that this article and it's reaction is largely a lot of people wanting to cry big brother and mostly just shit on Github & Git. IMO it would be more appropriate to look for solutions and post a public letter to github and/or just pursue actual litigation before advocating FOSS projects spend inordinate amount of effort across the board to vacate Github.

To be honest, this seems like a pretty reasonable search; a warranted search, narrowly scoped in both keywords (a specific address) and timeframe.

Meanwhile, this:

> “If Google is allowed or required to turn over information in this Colorado case, there is nothing to stop a court in a state that has outlawed abortion to also require Google to turn over information on that kind of keyword search.”

seems like it's of entirely different magnitude, far less amenable to such a narrow scope.

I thought we already covered that they represent states, not people.

By the way, what bill would they pass that would fix gerrymandering? I thought the states had the authority to draw their districts and it can be contentious as to what a good fix is.

And of course we have the same logic on the other side - that a party in power will do what they can to add to their power. We see that with laws about non-citizens voting (struck down), restoring/giving voring rights to groups that would disproportionately support them, and such.
