It doesn’t have to be “politically” correct to simply not call your critics idiots. Long long before PC was a term, it was never acceptable to use this kinda language in a business/work context. Not to mention the utter disrespect in calling someone (not the idea or criticism) a ‘fucking idiot’. Even worse when that someone is your customer.

Being decent and being respectful has nothing to do with politics. Strong language betrays the emotional state of the speaker than any valuable idea. All this conveyed to me was that he has very thin skin and easily triggered with no emotional maturity to rationally push back.

> Stardew Valley sold over 400,000 copies across Steam and GOG.com in two weeks,[13][72][73] and more than a million within two months.

Stardew Valley sold at $14.99. At 1 million copies in two months that's around 15 million gross, which works out to a 3.75 million payout for each of those 4 years of Ramen living. I would happily live off Ramen for a payout like that, and I think this is usually what people are talking about when they say this game is a counterpoint.

No, this doesn't mean you don't pay developers if you're a giant company. But it does mean that you don't need to put in MTX or AAA quality to have a successful game. 3.75 million a year could support 37 developers at 100k a year. Which means you could lead a small team to mild success instead of busting out 100s of developers for a 100 million budget game.

A word of caution. The default limit for number of tables per AWS account, for DynamoDB is 2500.

Tables are a scarce resource and you want to use single table designs for each app.

The design of tables with DDB is fascinating. Once you understand the PK / SK / GSI dance, design becomes so intuitive.

They can't push you out. In uncontrolled apartments, the rent gets renegotiated at the end of every lease term (usually 1 or 2 years).

There are exceptions for rent controlled and rent stabilized apartments, where the landlords have even less power on price setting.
You are right, light seconds don't fit in well. My point still stands, you can't really know what physical quantity is measured just from looking at the unit alone, that's now what units are made for.
> And personally, I greatly prefer this sort of frank talk to run-of-the-mill generic PR speak that usually comes from CEO interviews.

I think a lot more CEO talk frankly than we give credit for. The difference would be that many of them are polite and considerate, and their baseline isn’t abrasive language. NPR had an interview of toy maker about Prime day, and it was pretty frank and natural, with pretty emotional topics, without calling anyone fucking idiots.
Thank you for explaining my recent videogame behaviour. I think the last AAAs I played through was Ghost of Tsushima and the Demon Souls remake. I feel less inclined to play AAAs and I find myself gravitating to Gris, Sable, Untitled Goose Game and Trek to Yomi to name a few.

I think using the term “compulsion loop” when taking about monetization is a pretty clear sign that he means the latter.

Making a game that can pay for itself doesn’t really need to trick people into it. Look at stardew valley for instance, or factorio, or minecraft

I wonder if it could have been more Logo/Rebol inspired instead of Hypertalk. I guess that would be like:

put new date next <output/>

Assuming in that "then" is superfluous since there's nothing async about making a date. Though because "new Date()" can take arguments it's perhaps unclear how to parse this.

For events:

on click [toggle .clicked]

That would imply that "click" is a defined object/variable. I'm not sure how _hyperscript is evaluated, maybe "on" gets to decide how to evaluate its arguments. You can also imagine "onclick" as a command.

Using another example from the page:

on click [call aJavascriptFunction()
then [wait 10s]
then [call anotherJavascriptFunction()]]

"then" would be a reasonable command, though making it a special form is also reasonable. Though maybe "then" just means ";" – a statement terminator? And everything is async. That would be reasonable, the only trick is when you have a promise as an argument to a function, do you resolve the promise first or not? There are use cases for both.

Thinking through some other examples, I think _hyperscript syntax does make it easier to handle optional arguments. Like "on every click" or "on click queue all"... where these are kind of like flags. Logo-style syntax doesn't handle that well.

Intentional Design (and Complicated Systems)
Presumably OP was just talking about Manhattan or something, maybe even Manhattan below 110th st, and not the less nice parts of the Bronx or Queens or Brooklyn that they never go to.
This.

So many companies run marketing campaigns that largely pay lip-service to whatever is trending lately, without actually changing their internal strategies to reflect this stance. I would much rather the companies put that money towards actions that might actually benefit the cause, rather than spending 99% of the budget trying to prove they're committed to solving $PROBLEM by donating the remaining 1% to some non-profit.

I totally recognize the counter-point; they didn't have to donate anything at all, and any amount is more than nothing. To me, the issue stems from the fact that companies are basically making money on the back of things that are actual issues. It's exploitation, plain and simple.

Disagree with this. Your team could think of it as a document database, and you can have utility libraries that filter and sort based on PK / SK combinations to provide a seamless experience.

I think the structure of Twitter-the-experience is such that it pre-ruined. Far too easy to set up a bot army to propagandize, and worse. Any entity with a sizeable following could call down a dog pile on any give user, trashing their experience.

Also, the users were the product. Anyone tweeting was adding to the value of Twitter, not their own. Ad supported platforms are eventually corrupted by service to advertisers. Twitter-the-corporation hasn't gotten there, but it's clearly trending that way.

Their respective founders are also reachable (I think) and they have built very successful projects based on the Open Source model.
There are big city fixes for this. For example, most big cities offer bikeshares with docking stations all over the most popular places. So you can just use one of those bikes and not have to worry about theft.
If anything, this is a wake-up call to the US OSM community - it has serious corporate backing [1], but the proof - or lack thereof - is in the pudding.

It is impossible to collect address data manually; they should lobby the hell out of local and federal governments to release open address databases that are of importable quality and licence. And institutionalize its maintenance.

It has been done in many European countries and there's a sizable body of experience to draw on.

I fail to see the problem here. Their QWAC are root certificates that do not adhere to their idea of a "strict vetting approach". That sounds scary, until you realise all major browsers have happily accepted the LetsEncrypt-CA, when LetsEncrypt does no vetting at all.

To me this sounds like "have a little duck next to the padlock, make users understand that not all encryption is alike" could be a solution.

After you hit Start, just start typing the name of the app you want to run. You don't need to hunt for it in the menu.

Don't worry if there isn't a text box to type into, or if the text box at the top of the menu isn't selected. You don't need to click on it, just start typing. This has worked ever since Windows 7 (or maybe Vista).
It's as cruel as life. Pretending like there aren't any negative learned behaviors that cause vicious cycles from poverty is naive. When all you know is suffering, the human mind has to come up with some justification for it, some reason it's "worth" continuing on. Nobility is often that conjured reason.

Have you really never met anyone who's oddly proud of how hard they work, despite how little they earn? I grew up around these people, this view was more common than drug use, more common than gambling, almost consensus that the poor folks were the real heroes of the story.

"Stuck" is indeed the right word, but no they won't get "unstuck"; their lives will just get worse and worse. Like I said, there's just so much lower we can go here, people don't even realize where the bottom is.
But if there's a market for "pre" microtransaction games, then wouldn't there be a market for "non" microtransaction games? And couldn't you just... make those? It's not like microtransactions are literally dispersed in the atmosphere.
Capitalism is one of the words that are so general and used for so many phenomena it often becomes useless in a conversation. One can think some market behavior is unethical and to be opposed by individual action, but not see an acceptable political way to remedy this. I don't generally subscribe to this type of thinking, but it is a position. People also tend to see production of culture as something that should be different from producing/selling cars or potatoes.

Besides, people seem to call "capitalism" a set of laws and regulations that are good for current large capital holders, and freely extracting money from people if you have superior psycho/marketing and lawyer power. But there is a vast, vast space of possible regulatory conditions that would still be essentially capitalist in how economy functions.

Interesting choice of words. Performance wise, sure. Money wise? I'm still waiting for a SQL database with pay-per-request pricing. The cost difference is enormous, particularly when you remember that you don't need to spend manpower managing the underlying hardware.

Engineering tradeoffs are more complicated than only considering raw scalability performance and "I can run it myself on a cheap Raspberry Pi".
You can make the case that it's not an "act of kindness" when your motive is self promotion and gratification.

Hard agree. "Monetization design" is almost universally a euphemism for casino-style addiction mechanics whose sole purpose is to habituate users to continue feeding quarters into the slot so the good feelings don't stop.

I pulled my (meager) rev contribution out of their subscription service following the IronSource acquisition and this makes me confident that was the right call. All due to respect to the fine folks working on the platform, but it's not something I'm interested in using anymore.

But you wouldn’t ignore the evidence completely, which is what happened to the NFL in this case. They decided “on average Black players have less dementia, as a race they have lower baseline cognitive capacity” which is at once racist, stupid, and incorrect. The hypothetical doctor needs to consult radiology, despite the patient being male. And the NFL needs to find a more individualized test for dementia, taking into account each individual’s former mental capacity, not lazily using a single evidence-free racial marker that also happens to save them a bunch of money.
Right. The real measure is not % of loss from top-value, rather it should be # of people that both don't understand the technology & have lost money speculating on it (i.e. how many people bought into hype and got burned)

I believe the meaning is that RISC-V is trying to take market share from Raspberry Pi and Legacy Chips. It's a rarely used meaning for the word "guns" which is probably why it's confusing. A better title might be "RISC-V Seeks to Challenge Raspberry Pi and Legacy Chips".
Depends on what you call "fundamental reason".

Building new mass transport systems like light rail in existing cities from scratch requires a lot of political momentum, basically willingness to crush the pervasive NIMBY mentality and overcome the pull of bureaucratic inertia. Even in European cities that never dismantled their light rail systems, inhabitants often fight back against line extensions, citing noise concerns etc., and are able to delay the construction for years or decades.

Plus such systems aren't cheap and usually require new subsidies on top of existing subsidies. You will still have to maintain the existing road system and bridges, their usage won't drop to zero or even a quarter of current traffic. Some people won't voluntarily switch to public transit ever, for all kinds of reasons.

Maybe this isn't "fundamental", but IMHO the hurdles to overcome are really high and I am not sure if there is any city in the US willing to try this and having the means to do so.
It's hard to see what else it could mean in this context. I've seen a lot of cosmetic-based monetization strategies I really have no issue with, and in general they seem like a great way to let people who really like the game choose to pay more for it. But if you're considering monetization from the beginning, doesn't that mean your core design is making a tradeoff between fun and transactability?
> Incidence of myocarditis is probably the highest in males aged 12-29 years and more likely with Moderna than with Pfizer mRNA vaccines; longer dosing intervals might be beneficial

It seems we still don't know the root-cause for why this can happen, but at least it appears to be mostly a rare and mild side-effect.
You don't need an app, you just need to shut your mouth.
One partition of DDB is incredibly tiny compared to one partition of an RDBMS. You can push that one partition of RDBMS pretty far before you're forced to design sharding into your system. With DDB you are basically forced to design sharding into your partition keys up front or you will have hot partition issues. This is by far the most common problem I see with teams using DDB, so brushing it off as "with good design to avoid hot partitions" is understating the scope of the problem.

Unity's stock dropped another 20% in response to the announcement and it prompted yet another shareholder lawsuit, so I wouldn't expect those people to be happy either.
From what I've seen of mobile games, in practice it means that it starts off fun and well balanced. Then after [x] minutes it starts to get a bit frustrating, and suddenly you're unable to make progress without sitting and waiting or banging your head against the wall. This presents a choice to the player. They can choose to put the game down until they unlock some power up that helps them pass the level. Or, they can pay money to receive the instant dopamine hit of getting back to the beginning of the "compulsion loop".

The real dystopia is that I'm 99% sure these games dynamically adjust durations, prices, and incentives based on the user's past behavior to extract as much money per hour of play as possible. Essentially a machine that identifies and preys on a person's weaknesses.
Well, it’s not like she’s been meaningfully given a voice…
Probably best not to engage. These people simply do not see Ukrainians as humans with their own agency and really seem to believe they should just lay down and let the genocide happen to them.
Possibly.

Whereas definitions are lazily evaluated, so that if we have:

#define COUNT __COUNTER__

each occurrence of COUNT behaves like an invocation of __COUNTER__.

But, this is not true of parameters because they get expanded before substitution.

$ gcc -E -
#define MAC(PARAM) PARAM PARAM PARAM

MAC(__COUNTER__)

# 1 "<stdin>"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 31 "<command-line>"
# 1 "/usr/include/stdc-predef.h" 1 3 4
# 32 "<command-line>" 2
# 1 "<stdin>"

0 0 0

Thus perhaps you may be able to get something like __EXP_COUNTER__ by splitting your macros into interface and implementation:

#define MAC_IMPL(A, B, EXP_COUNTER)

#define MAC(A, B) MAC_IMPL(A, B, __COUNTER__)

I'm guessing this is what you mean by forwarding.

This could be a pretty major inconvenience, if you have to do it in the middle of a situation that is already stuffed with preprocessing contortions. Like say you had to define 32 macros that are similar to each other, for whatever reason, and you want this hack: now you have 64.
The NYC crime rate varies wildly by neighborhood so I don't think its very useful to compare city-wide crime stats. For example, the felony assault rate is literally 10x higher in parts of the Bronx than on the UES. If you live and work in safer neighborhoods the city will appear to be very safe to you.

In NYC the most dangerous areas are pretty far out from (edit: downtown) Manhattan and you'd really have to go out of your way to get there. Anecdotally I lived in Chelsea and worked in Union Square for a few years and never witnessed any real crime, violent or otherwise. By comparison I also lived in SF where the bad parts are unavoidably located in the center of the city and I've witnessed multiple violent crimes over a similar time period. The neighborhoods in a city you pass through on a day to day basis really matter in terms of defining your experience.

Check out this map for stats: https://maps.nyc.gov/crime/
Part of the problem is that most people would rather move to an existing desirable city than try to improve their own to make it more desirable, myself included. In most major cities, less than 20% of people vote for mayor, let alone city council. Most of those who do vote in local elections are much old.

I think it's value is you are able to be found be those looking to employ you. If you don't want to be offered employment, I don't see a point in having a LinkedIn - a resume does just fine when you are looking.

But this goes towards the GPs post, it is public information. I also deleted my LinkedIn awhile ago. In my opinion a company or person should only be given my CV when I offer it to them.

In terms of a work-circle rolodex, this is odd to me. If I want to keep in contact with the person in the future I will have their personal contact info and keep in touch, otherwise not.
IIUC Old Chinese was a much more “isolating” language, in that words were typically single characters - meaning that to make new words, you typically needed to make new characters. As it evolved through the ages, “compound” words composed of multiple characters became more common. These days, new words are almost always combinations of multiple characters (often 2, occasionally 3-4).
> ...monetisation should be considered as part of the creative process

That mindset is the antithesis of open source.

And believe it or not, not every game dev is into it to make money. There was some classic interaction between Nimblebit and Zynga back when where Zynga offered to buy Nimblebit, who politely turned down the offer. It could have made a huge amount of money for the founders, but they preferred making their money by creating great games.
Bitcoin has no real world use other than speculation (my opinion). I honestly think Bitcoin should be worth 0 but that's me.

Gold does have some real world usage (industrial, jewellery etc). It is not as down as Bitcoin and will always have demand.
