I'm a regular reader (and occasional commenter) of this site. It's a fascinating look at the history of what's probably my favorite genre of game. His taste in games isn't always the same as mine, but he's always clear about why he likes or dislikes things, and what the games provide.

He recently revisited Wizardry IV: Return of Werdna, notorious for being a very difficult game, and did a stellar job of going through not only how he got through its various puzzles and challenges, but more in-depth analysis of them and the game's lore...including the elusive "Grandmaster" ending, which may be the first hidden "perfect" ending to a CRPG.
It might not be any consolation now, but maybe you dodged a bullet?

Interviewing sucks. I suppose the only good thing about it is that because it's a game it can be gamed. But honestly, the best jobs come from when someone picks up the phone (metaphorically), either you or previous colleagues. Worst case is a "no, not right now", best case is a win-win. Defo keep in touch with people you enjoy working with. It takes time and effort, and I neglected it for years. But it's also a skill that can be learned/practised.
Not all the hardware support is internal for Android devices, but yes you're basically asking for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybris_(software)
No. It's an argument against rent-seeking and predatory market tactics.
you saved my users! thanks so much
Can someone clarify what to do if your app doesn't use a custom domain, and running `heroku domains -a` just returns `my_app.herokuapp.com`, and then entering that into https://securitytrails.com/dns-trails returns no results?
The public transit infrastructure will make a huge difference, in my opinion. The light rail heading north into suburbs where there's tons of space to build will make living outside the city itself much more bearable for people who work in the city. A modest single family home may still cost $1.5 million in the city, but at least people will have better options that don't mean a two hour commute.
Unfortunately, don't think folks watching CP would stop at that. Porn is an addiction (or compulsion?) and I don't see how CP makes it any better for folks with pedophilic tendencies.

To think that porn reduces sexual tendencies may be true (in the short to mid term), but eventually, as the addiction intensifies, those hooked have the urge to seek more novel, more aggressive versions of it (in reel or for real).

17:57 PDT, at least a few of our sites are starting to wake up. Decidedly not all of them yet. sigh
I love how you brought up this meme (which used to be a consensus opinion fwict ~2009) and it immediately got discredit with multiple examples! Clearly this is not a way forward ("waiting for others to be outraged" - guess what? They already are!! You are all just too coward to change your behaviour) we /must/ move to FOSS and p2p, all energy should go towards solving the tragedy of the commons in cyberspace and then the resulting communication structures will help us solve our issues in meatspace. Anything else is just wishful thinking or waiting for the tools to be available from the programmer class.
`for (unsigned i = n; i-->0;) {}`

Probably formatted i-- > 0. Concise and reads (once used to it anyway) something like i decrementing to zero.

For my domain (https://www.poof.io), it's www.

If you just use something like https://poof.io, then it would be @. Depends on your site.

There should be a few historical IP addresses, but you would create an A record for each of them.
I'd guess that the creator of the site would have preferred to generate more spicy images, but the model wasn't trained on that kind of content. So later on the site may give you what you'd expect.
Do you use Cloudflare?
wow it def does lol
Certainly a joke, but I don't see how it aligns with what I wrote. We're def in the late stages of a monopoly game, provided we don't magically find another board (aka leave Earth).

The major problem is the artificial limiting of the housing supply; let people build and this problem will be ameliorated. https://urbankchoze.blogspot.ca/2014/04/japanese-zoning.html
The point I was attempting to make is that we have and use the tools to control the quantity of rental housing available. Using those tools has not made renting as cheap as owning. Those tools generally help accomplish the opposite. With that in mind, there's perhaps cause to question if "controls over how many" that yardstick suggested will accomplish their aim.

So yes, you're absolutely right, technically true. In practice, they fundamentally don't do what the user wants them to do because that's not what caps are capable of doing. The tools don't work that way.
And the racist shows up.

The qualifying exams for MBBS degree is the same for everyone. A huge percentage of medical seats are literally purchased by wealthy parents for their kids. Yet the concern is always about low caste physicians, not nepotistic physicians.
That's part of the problem. People need to stop thinking of these devices as bicycles and much closer to motorcycles.
Maybe, in the back of peoples minds, we all know "The Fed" isn't magic and crisis do happen. So if this "guaranteed 2%" falls apart, it's going to freaking suck for a lot of people.
This worked for us. We're using Heroku + Cloudflare.
This saved our bacon and got me a pat on the back from our VP. Thanks!
Yeah, most Unix systems have been more or less OK with it since the prior round of Internet-Drafts in 2008. Some more details in the implementation status section in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-schoen-intarea-unicas... (which I'll need to continue updating on the basis of more tests).

The situation is more complicated for routers, including high-end datacenter routers. (If you have something that's post-2008 Linux under the hood, it probably works although there might be some higher-level software enforcing special cases.) The trend has been toward more router support for 240/4, but the special case was historically enforced in many devices, and older routers sometimes stay in use for quite a while.

Windows is definitely the outlier on endpoints; when I gave some presentations about 240/4 over the past year I pointed out that, if people were watching them on a device running anything other than Windows, that device would most likely interoperate with 240/4 addresses.
To expand on your comment: When you have distributed storage, you can rapidly isolate parts of the grid where you might have a voltage and/or frequency deviation outside of normal operating ranges, and then bring those segments back up with the equivalent of reclosers and sectionalizers. There is no longer the concept of a cascading grid wide failure.

Storage is commonly thought of as energy arbitrage, but more importantly it provides clean and less expensive “grid services” such as synthetic inertia. Unlike a thermal generator that would need to add fuel and come up to speed to increase frequency, batteries can respond in milliseconds (Tesla’s Megapack product has proven this in the field in Australia, specially the Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia) to hold up voltage and frequency to prevent brownouts or an outage.

For example, Oahu, an island of Hawaii, is about to (the battery facility is wrapping up install and preparing for validation) replace its last coal plant with Tesla Megapacks that will provide grid services the coal plant is providing.
Oh yes. There's a comment elsewhere talking about how the Blair-Brown years had heavy NHS investment and how they used PFIs to fudge the numbers, and that's exactly how it worked - instead of paying the upfront cost of, say, a new hospital they got a private sector firm to build it and committed future governments to paying a bunch of expensive fees to that firm for decades. So they got lots of nice fancy NHS investments and improvements to point at whilst eating into the capacity of every future government to fund... well, everything really. It wasn't sustainable at all.
Inevitable successor to this: a TikTok-style adaptive porn feed that learns exactly what you like and starts generating porn customized to your kinks and preferences.
For me personally the problem with Caddy is growth and community guides/resources.

Caddyfile is pretty basic, anything advanced doesn't work, and community resources arent even close to Nginx.

So I stick with nginx, even though its annoying to handle Let's encrypt auto renew in containers with normal Nginx, since SWAG doesn't support separate certificates per domain.
you're misunderstanding the issue. NHS funding _always_ increases. Its not increased by enough and social care (a different budget) has been cut meaning that hospitals have to deal with patients that have nowhere to be discharged.

This is all due to 2008 can kicking. The needed to cut, didn't want to get blamed for cutting so just massively cut central funding for councils who were left to make the hard decisions. Year on year the cuts increased the drive for "efficiencies" grew. There is no slack left and nothing left to cut that isn't obvious.

I hope that someone learns that just because you've taken the cost of the balance sheet doesn't mean the problem it was solving goes away, it just ends up as an inefficiency somewhere else, in this case in the NHS where staff cannot discharge perfectly healthy patients.
Looks backup now
Interesting. I'd have translated "feed" to "nourrir", not "manger", but they're loosely synonyms.
Not that it helps, but this is happening in most Western countries.

In Canada, healthcare has similarly collapsed. Decades of mismanagement and absurd government policy finally broke the system during the COVID lockdowns and now the system is worst than many third world countries.

Like in your example, it will take hours to get ambulance and I don't mean in some rural town in Canada, I mean in downtown Toronto. Most people are just Ubering or getting driven to the hospital and camping out at the ER - and I do mean camping because it could easily be a day's wait for something fairly urgent. We've had plenty of people die in waiting rooms this year.

The worst part is there is no private system allowed here - in fact the provincial BC court recently ruled that private health clinics operating outside the public system are not allowed[1]. As a Canadian you no do not have a right to healthcare if that healthcare is private - your choice is die in the public system's waiting room or hopefully be rich enough to fly to the US for care.

That's not really true, in broad strokes. To my knowledge, Linux distributions are the only place where GNU forms of core part of the operating system, whereas it is frequently installed as an optional component on top of, say, Solaris, AIX, or a BSD. Termux, amusingly enough, marks a return to this on top of Android on top of Linux.
No we just run our API on heroku and use no custom domain names. For some of us requests are working as normal, but for others every request is failing.
So 119,700? That's a lot. Does that count naturalized citizens that came for employment but brought their family?
Can you elaborate? I'm very curious how they develop software.
Any recommendations? I saw a few RaspPI eink “hats”, but I’m looking for an HDMI interface so that I can use it on other devices to experiment/test…
You can strap Raspberry to your phone via USB and you have 100% Linux phone without restrictions. Communication happens via Phone's USB-tethering and Raspberry's Internet-via-USB (and bVNC). OTG-phone can also power the Raspberry.

I used this setup a lot, but nowadays Termux with X11-server is good enough.

Most use nowadays is photo editing with GIMP. You can gain excellent dexterity with bVNC with time.
You and your team are brilliant. Thank you for this post! Much love.
So the history is actually really well described in crpgaddicts blog. First there was wizardry (basically all rpgs both in the us and japan are descendents of wizardry, some with the mixture of ultima). bard's tale is a wizardry clone (its wizardry in a city). Dungeon master is an attempt to make a better wizardry, taking advantage of the mouse and the amiga's graphics (its basically wizardry in real time). EotB is a dungeon master clone.
Also ARC and page cache (kernel mm) integration isn't very good on Linux. It's fine for NAS but possibly not good for desktop usage. Perhaps good on FreeBSD?
I agree with you on this one. But it ("fun" or the impression of it) really used to be an attractive aspect early on in the career.

> Isn't it far, far more important to find out things like: How do people communicate? How do people disagree with each other? Are people able to separate emotions and ego from the team's work output and outcomes? What values does each person want to embody in the work that they produce? Are people willing to sacrifice momentary comfort for genuine personal growth?

I wish there was some easy way to gauge these in interviews. Seems like the only way to know this is knowing people who work at the company.
I'm sure Substack (and those other apps) will be back in action soon. The online world isn't ending.
People here in this forum have enabled it, are enabling it and will continue to enable it. HN only have itself to blame when this happens.
To add: It was likely in the early 1990s. I remember who our evangelist was (who told me about the fight).

It was pretty campy. The staff dressed up in tie-dyes (and some had wigs), and handed us strings of beads, as we came in.
Total recall, more like total nightmares lol!
Why wouldn't they just buy the new houses as investments ?
You can defer capital gains tax on the sale of property if the sale is used to purchase another property.
Yes, but are we splitting the payments between principle and interest? In most cases, after a number of years, the rental cost easily exceeds interest + insurance + tax for the same size property.

Yes, it often seems the rental cost will be less than your monthly payments, but do realize that you lose all the rental cost, but not all your monthly payment.
For a couple of years I've been compiling an (admittedly worse) fuzzy-parsed version of this with GPT-3 (and friends) to generate and play out executable Javascript lore in an RPG engine.

So, I am very surprised I'm only hearing about Inform now -- clearly not hanging out in the right circles.

Does anyone have any recommendations for keeping abreast of projects like this so we can leverage the best of open source and not reinvent the wheel?

I just found out about NarraScope and I hope to attend the next one. Is there other things I should check out? Twitter firehose doesn't work too well...
Maybe you missed the point here.

"Lean how to use my types!"

Any given project uses a large number of libraries.

The point of a library is that it's 'useful'.

When a large number of libraries use vague and differing typings, it becomes impossible to manage.

The fragmentation created by the agile nature of Typescript is, predictably, a giant problem.
I believe GP was talking about sms group chats. And if you have sms group chats with android users, it sucks for them, especially how reactions and replies show up on their side. iMessage group chats degrade the experience of your android friends for the convenience of iPhone users. It's not a great way to treat friends imo. 3rd party apps are the same amount of convenience for everybody.
Brian Reid isn't one of them, we know that from a lawsuit with Google (he was 52 at the time)

I’d like to say its an interesting comparison in the way it presents things factually and yet a materially relevant omission I recognize makes me wonder how many omissions I don’t know about effect the other parts.

Really on air quality their comparison seems utterly meaningless as geography is not factored in when weighing CA vs TX. Now I question all their comparisons.
What is amusing is I am a fan of musk precisely because "he's truly worked very hard to be the most provacatively pustulent punkass of tech"

I would say that yes, it is. Sure, you can fire up MSFS 2020 and look around with the mouse and go, 'yep, looks like a plane'. But switch to VR and it's "omg, that's a plane! Also, I had no idea the cockpit was so tiny!" You actually get an idea of the scale of the plane you are flying in. You get better distance perception too, as you would expect.

Once the initial shock passes, you are done looking around and you decide to actually fly, you'll notice a major difference: you will spend more time looking out of the cockpit. Just like you would expect in a real aircraft flying under VFR. Because it's easy, and natural to do. Generally people spend too much time looking at instruments when flight simming. Because as gorgeous as the MSFS scenery is, it's still 2D. That changes a lot when you can look out. And no, TrackIR is not a good substitute. It does help, but it all feels 'fake'.

The thing is, specially with the current VR generation, that looking at cockpit instruments is actually a hassle (even more so for glass cockpits). The resolution is good enough for scenery but not as good if you want to read fine print. Of course you can move your head and 'look closer' at them just like if you had bad eyesight. It's totally doable, but can be tiring.

Bottom line. I would say it's very worth it specially if you fly GA aircraft (big tubes doing standard procedures at 30000ft are ok too, but stereoscopic volumetric clouds can only hold one's interest for so long). If we had higher resolution, I would say "absolutely, get one yesterday". As it is, there's a good chance you'll like it, and you can do it with even a first generation Rift, or a Quest.

As for GPUs. I could run on a RX580 by turning down a bunch of settings. You need to keep the framerate up. I would not recommend going that low end - even more now that GPU prices are coming down – as I would still get nasty frame skips from time to time. But hey, it worked. I got a AMD 5700XT and it runs perfectly fine now.

The official recommended VR specs are a RTX 2080Ti or better. Minimum is listed as GTX1080.
Thanks for the clarification. Gracefully handled.
This is just “everything happens for a reason” translated into hustlespeak. You are free to fret over every second not spent leveling up an attribute, but it’s weird to project this LinkedIn ideology as some sort of universal maxim.
It's scary asf
Prove it.

And thus the reason for all this regulation.
I think you're off a zero, that would put VISA at only 167 tps. From iffy sources I found in a quick google, VISA averages 1700 tps and max capacity is significantly more.

Rollups today can do around 2000 tx/sec. Their limit is block space, which will be multiplied by sharding (which in the current design, is more like RAID than actual sharding).

A great overview of the roadmap is here: https://members.delphidigital.io/reports/the-hitchhikers-gui...
Some additional context to what I'm referring, in this old blog post from 2015, nginx describe exactly why the dynamic configuration feature is important, and what's wrong with just reloading (draining the old process of connections).
https://www.nginx.com/blog/using-nginx-plus-to-reduce-the-fr...

For rolling deployments, it can cause repeated configuration changes exacerbating the problem, some workloads more affected from this than others of course. The nginx ingress controller makes this clear

https://docs.nginx.com/nginx-ingress-controller/intro/nginx-...

> Every time the number of pods of services you expose via an Ingress resource changes, the Ingress Controller updates the configuration of the load balancer to reflect those changes. For NGINX, the configuration file must be changed and the configuration subsequently reloaded. For NGINX Plus, the dynamic reconfiguration is utilized, which allows NGINX Plus to be updated on-the-fly without reloading the configuration. This prevents increase of memory usage during reloads, especially with a high volume of client requests, as well as increased memory usage when load balancing applications with long-lived connections (WebSocket, applications with file uploading/downloading or streaming).

Can’t argue with you
The venture capitalists have changed the metrics they are evaluating companies with due to the current economic climate.

Hence a lot of big companies now need to do layoffs to meet those new metrics.

It sounds kinda of silly, but it's what's going on.

The fact that property taxes exist at all, combined with the fact that failure to pay property taxes means the government takes "your" land means you are in fact renting the land from the government. The size of these taxes is irrelevant.
I used Africa as an example to provide the clearest demonstration of how location and associated factors impact business. With the exception of defense contracting, warfare, strife, illiberalism are pretty obvious barriers to starting a business, much less a tech business. I didn't however suggest that these were only factors or suggest that Europe is comparable in that regard. What I'm trying to demonstrate is that policies applied over a certain jurisdiction will cause people to vote with their feet and their wallets. Being in a state with lower taxes even mattered to Jeff Bezos, now the second richest person in the world, when he started Amazon. You can read it from the man himself:

You moved from New York to Seattle to start this business. Why?

"It sounds counterintuitive, but physical location is very important for the success of a virtual business. We could have started Amazon.com anywhere. We chose Seattle because it met a rigorous set of criteria. It had to be a place with lots of technical talent. It had to be near a place with large numbers of books. It had to be a nice place to live — great people won’t work in places they don’t want to live. Finally, it had to be in a small state. In the mail-order business, you have to charge sales tax to customers who live in any state where you have a business presence. It made no sense for us to be in California or New York.

Obviously Seattle has a great programming culture. And it’s close to Roseburg, Oregon, which has one of the biggest book warehouses in the world. We thought about the Bay Area, which is the single best source for technical talent. But it didn’t pass the small-state test. I even investigated whether we could set up Amazon.com on an Indian reservation near San Francisco. This way we could have access to talent without all the tax consequences. Unfortunately, the government thought of that first."

> Why are your types so complex?

The article (and ensuing discussion) are about _library_ code, which necessarily has types that are orders of magnitude more complex than application code (source: see some of the links in the article).

The reason this isn't a problem in Java, C# etc is that the things these libraries do simply _aren't possible_ in the Java type system, so no one does them, and users end up with (usually) clunkier libraries.
