Thank you for adding this. I love the look of this project and was quite excited. But I couldn't figure out how one would actually get started creating a site with it. Now I get it...
It wasn't a criticism, of course something like this is limited by the data available and that's no the fault of the author. I was just musing on what might be a side effect of using what's available.

There wouldn't be a 'total complete and true set' of data for this task, since not all countries use wiki's to the same extent, and languages don't actually delineate between country (eg: Spanish wikipedia is not exclusively the view of people from Spain, nor is English wikipedia exclusively the views of people from England).

Same here. I was very surprised to discover that other people consider it horrible. I was happy to get it, loved to play it and the ET face in the opening screen blew me away every time. I also liked the other 2 games made by the author, in particular Raiders of the Lost Ark which was a cool adventure game that I can have fun with even today.

I think it's basically what you wrote - these games weren't the "twitchy fingers" hand-eye-coordination fest of the average Atari title.
Is Dopamine Fasting a Way to Fix Your Brain or a Silicon Valley Fad? (2019)
Disappointing? Sorry to read I've disappointed you, dear internet user. I've administered a lot of systems over the years, and they often contain tools I don't really know and didn't install. It's always much easier to look for things in the usual places, like logs in /var/log, instead of having to figure out where each random application decided dump its stuff.

I'm quite fond of the path of least surprises.

Splitting an installation across multiple locations has additional benefits. It's a good thing that the application user can't modify the binaries (which is pretty much enforced when the binaries live in /usr). You can achieve the same thing when dumping everything in /opt/$foo, but that's pretty much the worst of both worlds imo.
What about that piece of the US that's isolated from the rest, quite close to Vancouver I think, Fort something attached to the South of BC, accessible only through it. Do you have to go through something like that twice, or can you go between it and the main body of the US more easily (without stops perhaps)?

Or (facepalm, more obviously) Alaska for that matter?

Thank you for having a nuanced take beyond just the notion of groups being surpressed.
Shit like this infuriates me. My family was the target of this nonsense when I was growing up. And I always felt like it was more a mechanism for connected people to bully those they didn't like.

For example, our family house didn't have enough parking, so I would park a bit down the road in some public parking spots for a park. I was usually only home from like 10p to 10a, so it's not like it ever impacted anyone. Plus, the "park" was pretty lame, anyone going through the trouble of driving to a park would go to the nice one a mile up the road.

One day, I woke up to a "no parking" sign and ticket. These were very clearly parking spots and the "no parking" wasn't conditional (not like, no parking dawn to dusk). Since i was the only person who ever used the spot, it was targeted at me for sure.

Drive by today and the sign is gone and lots of people park in those spots. Turns out, the people who moved in across the street got elected to the city and did all kinds of corrupt shit (ex, the dude's band got paid $600 a week to play at a park). I only found out about it because I became friends with the mayor's son, who recognized my last name from our neighbors. And of course, said neighbors were always full of smiles and hellos.

My dad was cited for "parking a commercial vehicle" in the drive way. My dad is a tradesman and said "commercial" vehicle was one of a white econoline van, or an F150. Do you think the city had any issues with other vans or pickup trucks in driveways? He ended up removing the vinyl company decal from the side and replacing it with a big magnet that he'd take off when he got home.

So yeah, I think we need a serious rethinking of how laws like this are enforced. Including, a right to meet the accuser, anti-harassment provisions that prevent people from constantly complaining about somebody they don't like, a right to have a state official come out instead of a local one. I'd also like to see enforcers be punished for bad reports, but that's a stretch.
A lot of the engineers I've worked with have often had extreme short-comings in their quality as an engineer because they have huge pride in their abilities to code. The result is re-writing stuff, building stuff that's neat rather than needed, failure to communicate and learn from others, failure to share knowledge and teach. And the worst of it, it's very difficult to persuade them that any of that is their job.
Author doesn't mean. Where the statement is accurate, if anywhere, the use of the term doesn't mean.

Nick Tredennick Passes
July 29. Sue Tredennick, Nick Tredennick's wife, reports the sad news that Nick has died. Two days ago, Nick was riding his ATV from his office to the downhill barn. He had an accident and died. His Apple Watch called 911, but he was gone by the time the paramedics arrived, and the coroner believes that he expired immediately. He was always grateful for his career in a new and rapidly changing industry, and for the innovative people with whom he worked. Nick worked on a multiplicity of microprocessors, was a founder at Microprocessor Report, and was well known for his eloquently expressed and insightful contrarian views. Nick was a friend and colleague and will be missed.
Top-level CPU hardware from 10 years ago is only half the speed of top-level CPUs today in single core use (relevant for most "regular" applications): gains have mostly been in power efficiency and adding more cores (both closely related, since you can only add more cores if you can cool them down).

Laptops see a regular churn because of degrading batteries, but servers and desktops only get upgraded for better efficiency which takes a few generations to make any sense.

Thus, with the slow down of new companies being established, there is less of a need for new CPUs, and existing users can easily postpone their upgrade cycle without much effect. If big customers simply switch to replacing their desktops to every 5 years instead of 4, that's a downturn of 25%.

And modern GCs only have to stop the current thread to check for which thread-local objects are alive. The alice ones are moved to another generation, making the space reusable for free.

And atomic writes need synchronization which is crazy expensive, I honestly don’t get why you think it isn’t.

Also, just try writing rust/c++ code that relies entirely on RC vs Java in an object heavy workload - I really don’t think it is an open question in any shape or form.
Can you describe the layers?

I mean, layers could be as simple as:

1. Does last name match?

2. Does first name match?

3. Does middle name match?

4. Does name suffix match?

5. Does country match?

6. Does state match?

7. Does city match?

8. Does street match?

9. Does house number match?

10. Does apartment number match?

11. Does phone number match?

Narkive has a whole bunch of these archived (especially since Google Groups is terrible these days.) If you know which group you're looking for they have old logs. Some folks associated with the newly revived Big 8 are also looking to submit Usenet archives to archive.org.
Facebook groups and events is basically the only reason I use Facebook, and while it’s very anecdotal I’m not the only one in my also anecdotal network.

It’s not actually the functionality that works for Facebook, it’s the fact that people have a Facebook account that they check. As more and more people quit, it becomes more and more of a bother to continue using Facebook to organise things, but when they have 3 billion users, they’ll probably remain a good place for groups and events for quite a long time to come, unless someone figures out how to do it with e-mail, which is basically the only other thing that everyone also has.

As others point out, social media sort of leaves a gap as far as being “the people registrar” or a modern form of the yellow pages. But as long as so many of us remain on there because it is what it is, then they can really continue to fuck around quite a bit before “dying”. I think it’ll be legislation that kills them in the end, because unlike other large American tech companies, Facebook doesn’t seem to have a plan that doesn’t involve making money off privacy data. Even though Google is obviously struggling with being an advertisement company first, they could potentially shift to other products, but what can Facebook really do?
The "normal" American diet is a complete disaster, absolutely. Conspicuous overconsumption of meat is also a luxury lifestyle. That will become more clear to more people in the coming decades as the rest of the world increases its meat consumption to match that of more developed countries.

I've found many Newyorkers will respond to any negative comparison of the NYC subways to other cities with a retort of "but we have 24/7 service and they don't".

I kind of feel that 24/7 service is actually one factor in why the NYC subways have so many problems - both in terms of logistics and aesthetics.
I get a real B&W experience with Ikea - it would be interesting to have a technical writing expert compare the Ikea instructions and the Lego instructions. Lego seems to generally be accepted as more universally simple, and yet Ikea products frequently have fewer parts and steps.

This is generally not my experience in Ontario. I've been to my family doctor and the ER multiple times during COVID and after and although the ER can be a multiple hour wait for minor things like a fever it's still pretty speedy for serious injuries. I haven't needed any elective surgery but checkups like heart ultrasounds were still only a week or two wait.

If anything, my dentist has been the most impacted by COVID. They're booked solid for at least a month to six weeks.
I understand your concern but we are limited by current privacy laws (for good reason in my opinion). I doubt we will build goodwill by showing everyone how to view unredacted information.

Not really. Microsoft has shut down and killed a significant number of services and products.
I appreciate the response, however it is quite vague, and I'm not any closer to a conclusion than when I asked. Would a yes/no type of question get a more straight forward answer?

I'd generally prefer a machine that copes with whatever it finds rather than keeping state, which is a recipe for trouble. I've booted an old disk on a different hardware and have it be fine. I've also seen windows folk change some hardware and have their machine freak out.

But then I seldom reboot since linux hibernate got good, so maybe I'm a bad judge.

I think the bigger impact will be when the larger variants are deployed among artillery.

We already have artillery that can reach 50-100km, but when that can be used to deploy drones with payloads capable of destroying tanks — then your entire style of fighting can change.

I actually wonder if this will bring back something like battleships: a 6” gun firing off drones in a 50-100km range would likely be able to penetrate modern point defense and hit critical systems — like radars, point defense, or weapons. At least, as a swarm from a broadside.
I love Tabler. I've used it for a few Rails projects and since Rails 7 it's even easier to integrate thanks to Import Maps. I can get a project off the ground even faster with this UI kit. I'm already used to the Bootstrap classes and tags so this is just the final component for maximum productivity.

I get some people don't dig the design but I think it look serious, and in general that's what dashboard are for, serious business. They need to be readable and simple to understand and use. Tabler gives that vibe.

Edit: As an afterthought, I would really appreciate if anyone knows any similar projects. It'd nice to compare and have more options. So far I havent found anything so compelling in this space.

I thought it was widely known, IIRC a number of languages have adopted it as the stdlib default sorting algorithm for either unstable/stable sort (can't remember which is it?)

Seems like OPs site is correct. There are multiple connections with 54min and occasional ones with 47min.

Though on geoapify you select a a street address rather than the train stop. So maybe they add a few minutes buffer for walking to the station.

I did this when I looked after interviews.

I'd print off a piece of legacy code that was particularly ugly and ask them to review it.

I'd tell them I wasn't looking for silly stuff like parser errors and instead was just looking for their opinion on the code. How they thought it worked and how they would improve or do it differently.

It was mostly just an interview prompt with a consistent starting point that lead to interesting insights about the interviewee but generally had repeated talking points across candidates.
Point taken. Ok, how about "Facebook faces declining interest in key demographics after years of explosive growth."

I've read young people say over and over again that Facebook is for old people. Becoming more like TikTok is not going to change their minds.

If you'd like to catch up on the conversation we had 4 months ago here it is:

Ask HN: Is Facebook Dying? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30860859

I found the conversation to be very instructive. Many people seem to agree with you that it is not dying. I'm not convinced (and I'm not talking about $, I'm talking about overall cultural relevance and interest in the platform. I'm sure they'll find ways to squeeze money out of old people like me. I've been seeing a lot crypto ads lately)

I’ve found code generation tools extremely helpful for large-ish graphql backends and resolve many of the ‘complexity’ issues if employed correctly.

Of course, code generation has its own particular set of gotchas and problems (for example, you really don’t want to expose the full functionality of, say, the Prisma api to the world)
>we're limited on what info to display & sources due to privacy laws and to prevent misuse

Of course. We're not not allowed to know who sold our personal data to shady 3rd parties due to "privacy laws". Hilarious.
FaceID is also still terrible if you need/want to wear masks, even with the updates it still doesn't recognize your face half the time. Likewise, the FaceID with mask recognition may work to unlock your phone but then NOT work to open the APP whose notification you clicked on in the first place.
Interesting. I don’t consider South and Central America to have western countries. Normally Western refers to countries with majority European people. Ie North America, West and Central Europe, Australia, NZ.
They're already getting decent reproducibility of their curated package set, but some of us want to pin to a particular version of this, especially when creating our own private packages. That's where I'm finding I really want pinning.

The latest release has included "flakes", promoted from an add-on to an opt-in feature and which, among other things, lets me pin my dependencies and the environment I need to build my private projects. I then don't have to worry about going out of sync with the main package set, and I can share private projects in a (hopefully) fully reproducible way, with people using different versions of nix.

I have a 5950X CPU, a gen 4 PCI-E NVME, and a 6800xt GPU. I normally run linux, but I wanted to play a computer game in VR last night like a jerk. I rebooted into Windows 10. It had at least three pages of full screen pop ups begging me to update to windows 11. I launched Steam. It took about 10 seconds to load, then restarted itself to update, then downloaded about 1GB of game files and did about 5GB of disk IO, over about 5 minutes. Launching VR took about 30 seconds, with at least one error message. The game didn't work with an obscure error message, and so I spent 10 minutes and a reboot updating my graphics drivers. That didn't work, so I tried deleting the game's config file. That didn't work, and so I unplugged all but one monitor. I finally got the game to work, and I had to restart it twice to tweak the graphics settings since I had deleted the config. So, about half an hour of hassle to play a game for about half an hour of gameplay.

What scares me is that these anti-science, anti-expert values are having negative effects right now. Climate change will remain a murky unpleasantness for most of my remaining life (~50 years), boiling many frogs before the real disasters become obvious, daily occurrences.

As I see it, it began with creationism, creating a base of concerted and deliberate ignorance. That perfected the tactics used in climate change denialism. At that point it was down to a science, and they created COVID antivax literally overnight. And that's killing people right now.

That anti-evolution stuff is still an active battle. In the US, only a bare majority accept evolution. Among the political party associated with climate denialism, it's only 33% accepting a science that became obvious well over a century ago. It's part of a constellation of just-plain-false beliefs; not mere differences of opinion but simply and objectively wrong.

It will only get worse. I see it coming to a head before climate change has really gotten going. I don't know what form it will take, but I expect it to be very, very bad.
General Linux tools built for text, in a world where everything is plain text and the shell doesn't know how to navigate anything other than a file system. In PowerShell you can cd into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as easily as any drive, and Select-String is perfectly capable of searching registry keys.

The baseline is only text and files on systems that don't have anything better to offer.
