>we have spent time looking into other game engines besides our own to see if we could move faster on established products while minimizing risk, but the landscape is amazingly poor.

i hadnt done a real deep dive yet, but from introductory readings on a few engines this was my impression too on what we are looking for in general. Glad to know im not the only one to feel it.

>So ideally you and I would have access to a 2D or 3D engine that had multiplayer out of the box, could write game mode code that was networked to connecting clients even if they didn't have the game mode, and allow them to download assets they were missing as well. And while you were playing the game, had the ability to change the game code on the fly and send it to clients so you could develop and play test in real-time.

Yeah pretty much, though the last part would be icing - restarting the game / reconnecting to the server in response to anything more than parameter tweaks is okay. just really want to avoid excessive manual file management

>If you have found some other software like this, though, I'd love to hear about it.

I wish. If there are, then they dont support 3D PC games, because my search has been limited to that.

given how long ago garysmod was, i would be very surprised if no one has tackled those principles from the game engine standpoint already. I'm guessing any team that prioritized multiplayer sandboxing in building the game engine must have made the engine propriety and built a game studio around it.

Is Planimeter Game Sandbox something I can check out? or is that more of a target and Planimeter Game Engine 2D is the current iteration?

My next research step for myself was going to be to look at the tools in the WebAssembly ecosystem
I didn't understand how your comment relates to the article (which, as I read it, has nothing whatsoever to do with insider threats). Can you explain?
The TL;DR is that every anomaly that your database can experience is one thing that every developer needs to consider for every change they make. This is a huge overhead. Most importantly every developer won't correctly consider these anomalies for every change because humans aren't perfect. This means that you will encounter bugs from time to time.

So that is the purpose. If you solve this at the database layer you relieve your developers of this burden and reduce bugs. You can argue that the cost is too high (it may be) but there is clearly a benefit to balance it out. Especially if the cost keeps dropping (as it seems to be doing) the balance tips every in favour of stricter consistency models.

I imagine it started gradually: one lie led to another and before you know it, you're printing a whole new newspaper for him every day.

I find it unlikely that this was a coordinated deception that happened all at once.
I'm not sure if you intentionally missed my point. Everything in C requires careful usage. VLAs aren't special: they're just yet another feature which must be used carefully, if used at all.

Personally, I don't use them, but I don't find "they're unsafe" to be a convincing reason for why they shouldn't be included in the already-unsafe language. Saying they're unnecessary might be a better reason.
Looks cool, but don't things like WordPress already make this easy?
The answer is "yes"
The post has more leg than you give it credit for. The author thinks serializable is table stake, and linearizability can be implemented cheaply (through sharding). Strict-serializable however, cannot really break "scale-out" barrier with some serious compromises (either time-bounds it (Spanner's 7ms bounds), or central ordering service that cannot scale out). It additionally provides a proof that strict-serializable != serializable + linearizable and then go on to question what you responded: does strict-serializable worth all these troubles?
It's like they are their own little marketplace where the currency is promotions.

New apps get created because a new app is a way to get ahead. Old apps and features get abandoned because the small set of people who created them started working on something else and nobody is left to maintain the thing.

There's nobody with vision setting direction at Google, it's an internal game with lots of players that results in products, kind of.
I struggled with this as well and then I started asking people about it, I grew up lower middle class and there were some very rough stretches of time during my childhood.

What I've observed:

1) They're not saving for retirement. $0.

2) They spend a lot using credit. New vehicles with 2k down and high monthly payments. High monthly credit card bills.

3) They have a lot of stuff but are essentially living pay cheque to pay cheque. One thing that surprised me was working at a company that got acquired and payroll got moved to the parent company which had a pay schedule that was 1 week later, so they told us we would get paid one week later than we had historically. Inconvenient, but no problem for me. Out of an office of about 40 people 15 said they wouldn't be able to pay their bills. These were all people who made over 6 figures.

Another thing I've noticed is that many people don't look at absolute price but instead look at monthly payment, I think raising interest rates are going to hurt a lot of people that from the outside seem to have a dream life.

The difference, of course, is that Excel wasn't abandoned by its owners like Hypercard was.

It's frustrating experiencing all these changes. Naming confusions aside , many features I was using in the older apps kept getting dropped as the new hotness would be released. I've all but stopped using their messaging platform due to all these changes.
Visa only cares about money, just like every other megacorp. They will take as much money as they can for whatever they can, the only reason they're suspending payments is because they are facing legal liabilities. What other choice do they have?

Thanks for the ideas — you're right that automating the UI-oriented testing is more difficult. We're already piloting some ideas in this area (e.g Build your own React) — but the current focus is on perfecting what we have.

Our testers are all OSS. Here's our git tester for example — https://github.com/codecrafters-io/git-tester.

Others can be found on our GitHub org.

We need to do a better job of exposing links to testers in our in-app UI — good feedback!
At this point I want to just create a copy/paste that I plop down everytime this happens (and yes, silly decisions like this happen at google often enough that I know I've typed it multiple times). Here we go:

It will never cease to amaze me how much Google has bungled chat of any variety (text, audio, video). They seem completely incompetent from the outside looking in. Now I know a lot of it is due to the "People get promoted for launching a product not supporting one" and the fact that Google likes to throw things at the wall and see what sticks but this is getting absurd. Between the myriad of chat clients and mediums that Google has targeted to things like Wallet vs Pay (or the other iterations of this) I don't understand how the execs haven't just said "enough is enough" and removed the perverse incentives that have lead to this clusterfuck.

I know this is not a Google-only problem and we can talk about other companies who reward similar behavior leading to less than desirable outcomes for the people using these products but Google seems to be the king dunce of this game where everyone loses except the people promoted for launching a PoC then riding off into the sunset.

Do the Google execs just not see this? Are they oblivious to the issue? Are they trying (and failing miserably) to rectify it?

I don't have answers to these questions but I sure hope someone at Google does because aside from a few "safe" products (Drive, Docs, Gmail) I don't feel comfortable using anything they put out with their track record (both of killing products, hello Reader, or leaving them in <1.0 state indefinitely).

I feel bad for Android users, Apple has it's many faults but they coalesced on iMessage/Facetime very early on and haven't deviated from that path. Sometimes they are slow or unwilling to make changes but everyone knows they can trust those 2 services and that they are here for the long haul. It seems every other week we hear about green vs blue bubbles or how iMessage causes lock in. While lock in isn't great I guess I prefer that over the unstable ground that every Google-based chat program is built on.
And, they replaced Google Wallet years back with Google Pay, but now Google Wallet is back, so that you can do the same thing you already do with Google Pay, but with a few extra types of cards that Google Pay can't store because, I dunno, "reasons"? lol

>Google Wallet’s official rollout is the latest step in the long history of Google’s payment app variations. The company combined Google Wallet and Android Pay in 2018 to create Google Pay, a single app that included tap-to-pay, tickets, and loyalty programs under one umbrella that worked across Android and Google Chrome. In 2020, Google Pay had a big app refresh to pull in peer-to-peer payments, deals, and other services.

>Now Google announced Wallet’s comeback at its Google I/O event in May, splitting things up again to create a dedicated home for payment cards, airplane tickets, government IDs, vaccination proof, and even car keys.

>Users will be able to use the app to pay at vendors where Google Pay is accepted.

Is this true?

If I search "presstv", the .com site of which was literally seized by the US govt, I get their unseizable .ir site as the first result. No scary warnings, no fluff.

If I search "rt", I get RT site as the first result.

Similarly for smaller sites that have caught flak or been banned for opposing US government narratives (SCF, CN, GZ, etc).

Ironically, it's "open" platforms like Wikipedia that have the lowest tolerance for political dissent. Twitter, Facebook are quite compromised as well.
There's really only 3 sources that serve as a backstop for protein - nitrogen production.

Sure, I agree, above certain usage threshold hosted Trino becomes totally justified. But then, some engineering time to maintain the cluster has to be factored in as well.. for anything ad-hoc in nature, I would start with Athena by default.
ah yes, why didn't I think of it, let me just try:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <span>

__attribute__((annotate("realtime")))
void process_floats(std::span<float> vec)
{
auto filter = (float*) malloc(sizeof(float) * vec.size());

/* fill filter with values */

for(int i = 0; i < vec.size(); i++)
vec[i] *= filter[i];

free(filter);
}

$ stoat-compile++ -c foo.cpp -emit-llvm -std=c++20
$ stoat foo.bc
Parsing 'foo.bc'...

How to Live a Chaotically Organised Life
Ask HN: What did you buy after reading about it here?
A lot of the books I've bought in recent years came from recommendations here. Usually they weren't even in recommendation threads, but just randomly coming up in comments.

Some are ones you see coming up a lot: The Mom Test, Designing Data-Intensive Applications, Refactoring UI, Don't Make Me Think.

But then some were just way off my radar, like the writings of sociologist Edward T. Hall or Stephen Baxter's sci-fi.

I also bought a lifetime subscription for an app I found here, but mostly it was books.

What did you buy after reading a recommendation on HN?
I think legal porn (e. g. featuring consenting adults) is generally a-okay and shouldn't be illegal or banned... but I also don't need much convincing to believe MindGeek and Pornhub are bad actors. It simply isn't in their financial interest to protect people who need and deserve protecting, and so they didn't/don't. Anti-porn groups couldn't ask for more ideal enemies.

Yes, I know that the vast majority of the content they post is perfectly fine and legal. But enough of it isn't, and they are lax enough in checking, that they kinda deserve punishment at this point.

But I also don't think porn is going away. I hope whoever replaces them (looking at you, OnlyFans) is less scummy, so it is easier to defend them.
I did the same thing -- paid for a move but ultimately sold way too early. Shame.
It's sad because Google Talk was good. Jabber/XMPP on a web, for the masses.

It had good federation, as it followed the standard. And Google even contributed JINGLE, a XEP (standard extension) for videocalls.

I was making videocalls from Google Talk using a Nokia 770 in 2007. It feels we've gone backward once Google became dominant and Nokia got taken over.
Apple doesn't have to even roll out a user-targeted ad system.

All they have to do is offer a buying platform where you can track conversion on Apple devices and software better. In other words, they don't have to offer more user-level accuracy to the end buyer, they simply need to measure campaigns more accurately on iOS (a bit of a simplification but not much).

That alone will make their DSP a dominant player in the industry.
Generally as you go towards more specialized vendors or higher-end items, the issues fade. I've had a great experience with Soncoz (audio equipment) and their policies/behaviors so far have shown to be excellent. When a relatively minor defect was found in their product, they yanked them all off stores online, paid to have them shipped back from buyers, and fix it all up and sent them back. Very nice work. Many US electronics vendors won't go that far, and just let products with serious faults sit on shelves and make returns a circus ordeal.

I try to buy from retail stores when possible now, but it's getting so hard.

I needed a new mouse for my gaming PC recently. I live in Brooklyn and the nearest Best Buy to me closes at 7pm. I tried to get one at Target but it was $35 online and $65 in-store (and $32 on Amazon). They said I couldn't price match against their own website, but I could buy it online and choose in-store pickup. But because the store was closing in less than 2 hours, same day pickup was not an option. Asked if I could order pickup for tomorrow and just give it to me right now, nope, system won't allow it. Thanked the employee for their help and bought it on Amazon.

Similarly, I want to buy from local music gear stores but they all close at 7pm and most are closed on weekends. I'm not taking a vacation day just to try out a synthesizer. Sweetwater isn't local but at least they're not Amazon and they're reliable.
I started getting emails from Amazon recruiters about every 3 days for the past few months, and I have no idea what caused me to pop up on their radar.
100% correct. just borrowing credibility unearned.

I'm not sure the math is so easy. Even knowing the direct cost savings in hindsight, engineers' time is expensive, and it's not obvious that the ongoing engineering cost of maintaining Trino on an EC2 cluster would be that far below $22k/month. Even if you get a net cost savings on an ongoing basis (which, granted, you probably do), you may have a long payback period for the initial engineering time spent evaluating solutions and getting the deployment spun up.

And that's all with the benefit of hindsight - it's hard to know a priori how much cheaper your own deployment will be compared to a managed service or how long it will take to implement. Of course, anecdotes like yours help with that, so thanks for sharing your experience!
I got the referenced epub and it's quite humorous, despite some translation difficulty.

The very dark jokes are actually quite funny.
In this context the argument against Visa is that (through MindGeek) they are profiting from child pornography, revenge porn, and actual rape pornography. I'm sympathetic to the idea that consenting adults not hurting others should be allowed to do what they want - but that's not the issue here. Real people are really being hurt so saying "Why not let others enjoy it" is beside the point.

If you found out Disneyland employees raped one out of every thousand guests then saying "I understand you might not like Disneyland but why not let other people enjoy it?" Wouldn't be a great argument. I don't think companies should profit off of child, revenge, and rape pornography and if they can't figure out how to run their platform such that they aren't doing that, then they should be penalized or shut down.
The biggest reason to do this is because of the use of lead and cadmium, too extremely toxic substances that are routinely untested for in the toy supply-chain. Importers and large retailers should be required to test all their toys with an XRF gun.

For big organizations that have the capacity and data, online advertising becomes a ROI optimization game, and one that they perform quite well at.

For a random business that wants to advertise online, without the infrastructure and data capability to back it, they will struggle to compete unless they exist in a segment full of similar peers. When the former happens, we see articles about how PPC doesn't actually work, etc.

Reality is that it takes engineering work and infrastructure, coupled with some data capabilities to unlock real value in the online advertising space.

As noted, online advertising brought all sorts of insight and visibility over traditional 'offline' marketing channels, but with that comes more savvy competitors that will do all the data things you're not.
Kraft Dinner (or just KD( is something special though!

Well, cases like that make me think we actually DO need crypto. We do need an equivalent of digital cash, because what some CEOs or board members think and do shouldn't influence whether you can pay your rent or not. It's really as simple as that. If you can learn to drive a car and not kill a massive amount of people in the process, you can probably also learn how to operate a crypto wallet safely.
So i have a simple idea to avoid this problem. Have the internet encrypted in such a way that the ISP has no knowledge what is being downloaded by their customers. Is this actually possible? And would this actually absolve them Charter of legal responsibility?
