I'd encourage you to try Go or Rust, great ecosystems, great communities and lots of problems of programming languages of the 2000s are solved in much saner ways (dependency management, type checking, etc). There has been tremendous progress in programming languages in the last 20 years, it would be a shame to not learn about them and be super excited about them.
Do you want to be a manager? SWE -> engineering manager is not a natural and guaranteed progression. It is a shift from individual contributor path to a management path. A good company will allow you to become a more and more senior IC (senior -> staff -> principal -> distinguished) without a requirement to become a manager to increase your pay.
These seem like pretty absurd obstacles. Police in various places have historically been pretty notorious for zealously ticketing other offenses--I can't see anything special about these bike lane offenders. Of course, following BLM there has been a lot of pressure on police to avoid any "unnecessary" policing (lots of studies confirm that police have been pulled back all over the country as a direct consequence of BLM-related pressure), so maybe that would affect things as of the last 5ish years?

Nintendo didn't make any money from the PC sales, so it needs to have revenue from this launch.

And for Factorio itself, the effort of porting to the Switch, and then the effort of going through validation with Nintendo.
Even if they didn't want to charge you again, the company would need to cover the cost of dev kits, extra engineers, and a whole extra channel for development/release.
triyambakam needs to take this advice to heart. Software engineering shares many troubleshooting patterns with agriculture and construction. While the cross-fertilization isn't 100% efficient, it doesn't need to be to be effective because the bar fortunately doesn't demand a global maxima only a local one: fix the current problem in a business-acceptable timeframe and cost, and you're adding value. Onto the next problem.
Look at Karpenter. It's working really well for some of our workloads.
Our preschool is composed of 3 year old kids who never played with anybody outside their family. Many haven’t seen a single strangers face for years. Many have serious behavioral issues and speech issues. Saying “kids are gonna be okay” is such a line of bull.

Even if all that crap we subjected them to worked, that still doesn’t make what we did to them okay. We stole significant chunks of their one and only childhood away from them for a disease that they aren’t even close to being at risk from.

We absolutely fucked our kids and it is perhaps one of the saddest most shameful outcomes of societies myopic fixation on Covid.

When they changed things to make it so businesses had to pay for "sponsored posts" to get their followers to see them, you could see the writing on the wall.

If normal people's posts get seen by their friends and followers, what would a business be paying for? And so it starts a loop that ends in nothing but AI generated content for doomscrollers.

"Pinning your version" forever isn't a viable strategy in lots of cases.
From wikipedia:

> Splatoon debuted at No. 2 in the UK software sales chart in the week it launched, only behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is the fifth fastest-selling Wii U game and the fastest-selling new intellectual property on the console in that country, beating the previous record set by Ubisoft's 2012 launch title ZombiU.[81] Splatoon debuted at the top of the Japanese software sales chart, with over 144,000 retail copies sold in its launch week and a total of 1.53 million sold by December 2016.

From the article

> Splatoon 3, which launched last week in Nintendo’s home country to an astounding 3.45 million units sold in its first three days.

Wow! What a major success story on both fronts. From 144k over the first week to 3.45M over a few days. I'd imagine the original would have done even better if not for the Wii U too.
I didn't use a flight sim in 20 years or so.

I suppose we're unlikely to convince each other here. I'll just note that your list of "goodbyes" seems a bit overly-apocalyptic to me, and it's not even clear to me that many students leave the education system with meaningful knowledge of more than a couple items on your list. The students that do leave with knowledge of economics or classical literature almost certainly were interested in those things when they were introduced.

> 99% of children have absolutely no interest in them whatsoever if left to their own devices.

This would be the crux of our disagreement; I think that ultimately this depends on empirical investigation. It's hard to do such studies, since SES and other confounds are extremely hard to control for. I'm sure that 99% of kids have absolutely no interest in the current curriculum, but that's precisely my point; the curriculum is horrifically boring in many places if you don't connect with the subject matter.

I do think it's reasonable to note that most other developed countries have better public education systems than the US, and for the most part follow a fairly traditional model, which demonstrates that there are gains to be had in the US without revolutionizing the system. I'm in favor of trying to achieve that too.

And I'd of course not advocate for burning the whole thing down and starting with something new; I think experiments could be made with, say, one day a week of "interest-based learning" along the lines I put forth above, while still keeping the core curriculum alive.
The visual novel genre is a huge non-Western electronic version of CYOA gamebooks. Wikipedia states "Visual novels originated in and are especially prevalent in Japan, where they made up nearly 70% of the PC game titles released in 2006." They descend from '80s early adventure games, and not paperback CYOA, though.

Similarly, in the U.S., the popular 2010s licensed titles from Telltale Games were essentially electronic CYOA as well, since they were heavily narrative-driven and had simpler gameplay mechanics than traditional point-and-click adventure games.

I very much enjoy this post. My first introduction to Robin Sloan was via the novel Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. It featured Ruby programming as a central part of the plot. Ruby! Programming languages, and coding, in a novel? What a wonderful thing to find. I wish him great success.

Seconded. Mill is a very versatile build tool. It mainly focuses around modeling builds as DAGs of tasks, and thus allows you to only rerun what is necessary after changes. Other tools like Bazel are built around this model too, but IMO Mill has "taste" in the way it is configured. It also gets out of your way, you can seamlessly integrate it into various shell scripts, and you don't need to make your project revolve around your build tool.

There are vendors with more basic equipment. But John Deere's selling point is the complex features they offer. I watched some farming YouTube videos and I was surprised by the technology in modern tractors. The tractors will drive by themselves and they'll keep track of what land they've already covered, help you align, let you control how many seeds you're planting per acre, etc. It's all very high tech and a single person in a single tractor can cover a massive area and their job is mostly just to supervise the tractor and make sure they don't run out of seed or whatever they're putting down.
I think the presence of multiple return values and the ability to easily use complex types for errors make a huge difference (adding wrapping messages, context, etc.).

I agree algebraic data types could improve this. I don't think monadic result types or exceptions would be an improvement.

I've had X-Plane back since version 7 or so. Get into binges with it and then stop for years.

The reason for that is, my primary interest in X-Plane is DESIGNING planes to see if and how well they will fly. If it had the structural stuff in the short-lived Young's Modulus by the same guy I'd be even more interested… that's a big ask, however, and potentially very dangerous.

Because people literally use X-Plane to design real planes, by making rough drafts of the aerodynamics, weights and balances of their proposed designs. X-Plane is a full-on blade element modeler right down to modelling the propellers of prop-driven planes also as little wings, and flight is simulated by taking all the airfoils etc. at various points of all wings and determining how the plane would fly with this collection of forces… for ALL MODELS.

That's the only engine at work. You don't download 'new flight code' for new planes you get, just the aesthetics and the model that says what airfoils go where etc. and then the sim works out what would happen.

If you wanted to fly your 747 but see what would happen if you stuck a Cessna engine 3 feet in from the left wingtip, MFS absolutely would not know where to begin with that. X-Plane would not only let you do it but would do a pretty decent job of showing what would happen.

So it's kind of not even a comparison…

Pretty hilarious getting downvotes on a nerd site for saying THIS. Bring it. I stand by what I said 100%, these are the things that matter in a simulator. For airplanes :)
I've got an old laptop that sometimes serves as a VAX 11/780 when I'm nostalgic and want to run VAX/VMS 7.3. Pretty much anything that can be mated to an SSD is useful these days.

I gave up visiting Facebook a long time ago, so can't speak to whatever current algorithm, but even a few years ago, my feed was already flooded with outside content while only presenting a small fraction of my friends' content.

If I wanted to see most of the friend-content I had "subscribed" to, I had to do a manual tour of their profiles.

I'm sure people do post even less now, but I'm skeptical that's the root cause of what's being reported. The explicit bias towards political/commercial/promoted/engagementbait content over "subscribed" content has been there for years.
> chances are good that one of the first things you did as a baby was give a DNA sample to the government.

This seems pretty disingenuous - yes you gave a blood sample (which has DNA in it) but no DNA genome sequencing is taking place - they simply check it for a series of disorders to make sure a baby is healthy and yes gather aggregate data on prevalence of disorders at the population level.
Software Discovery and Security Tooling
Haiphen: Scale AI for security vulnerability data

We connect enterprises to missing information about their software origin that puts them at risk to cyber 'supply chain' attacks. This costs $4.6 trillion dollars of industry loss to date.
Take for example: developer working at Enterprise-A downloads a piece of Open Source (OS) software from Github. Later, this code gets compromised and gives hackers remote access to any services built on top of it. Enterprise-A tries to simply remove this code but, because its been re-packaged within others, it becomes nearly impossible to track all instances of it. In the end Enterprise-A loses hundreds of thousands of dollars in the remediation costs and another $8.3 million dollars, on average, in damages to brand, stock performance, intellectual property and consumer data.
Haiphen addresses this with high-fidelity, open source, supply chain data crawled directly from the source. We handle the mess of filling in the dots. We successfully identified exposure in 15 Cloud providers and downstream services during a live security breach in April (CVE-2022-30190, CVE-2022-26134). We offer 3 core APIs: software dependency-chaining, similar source-code discovery and SBOM generation. We're integrating into platforms where developers work natively (e.g. homebrew, slackbot, Visual Studio Code, Jenkins, dockerhub).
As of August we started our private beta with a handful security and devOps engineers. Just completed onboaring phase of an enterprise pilot with SAP to quantify their risk exposure. We've also been invited as 1 of 20 vendors to attend the Gartner CISO summit this fall featuring 125 fortune 500 enterprise CISOs (Amazon, Sony, SAP, NFL, NBA, etc.). Our goal is to close another 5 pilots at that event.

This release brings probably one of the features I've been most excited about for a long time now. I'm jazzed that we can finally customize the colors of the title bar, tabs and a whole lot else to a whole variety of new values. They can automatically match the terminal body itself, for a seamless look, that I've been totally infatuated with since I first saw it.

And it's all configurable, so we're not forcing any UI changes down anyone's throats. If you don't like the tab matching the terminal body, then just change it. Or change the titlebar colors. It doesn't matter - it's your Terminal, do what you want with it.

It opens the door for more configurations like this in the future too. As with most engineering problems, laying the architecture in place is most of the hard work.

Maybe not the most exciting feature for many, but one I've been passionate about for a long time.

> There used to be a time when malicious websites usually didn't have encryption at all, or if they had, their certificate was self-signed. Let's Encrypt changed that. Now every malicious site has a certificate that appears trusted, and there will soon be a need of having different levels of "trust", where free-of-charge certificates like the ones from Let's Encrypt will become essentially untrusted.

First off, this grossly misunderstands what a certificate does. All it does is prove that your browser is having a private conversation with the remote server. The remote server might be evil, but that's not what a certificate solves.

Malicious sites didn't have valid certs because certs used to be overpriced and the people that ran them wanted to minimize the paper trail as much as possible.

> Self-signed certificates used to be considered fine, but now every mainstream browser shows a scary warning before entering a site with such certificate. The same will happen to the certificates from Let's Encrypt

You're jumping to quite the conclusion.

Let's Encrypt is such a huge part of the Internet now that I don't think browser vendors could decide to just stop trusting their certs. Even if they did, another free certificate vendor would appear and we'd be back at square one.

> Phishing websites also did not have lookalike domains before unicode characters were allowed in domain names.

Factually incorrect.

I have to be honest, this feels like a troll post. There's so much misinformation, misunderstanding, and unrealistic expectations that I can't take it seriously. What you're asking for is dangerous and would lead to massive amounts of data compromise.

I have a whole drawer full of android phones with broken screens, or in some cases bad headphone sockets, flakey USB sockets, etc.

Some software to turn these into gadgets like a surveillance camera, doorbell camera / intercom, walkie talkie, etc would be cool. Basically the equivalent of a Nest camera / doorbell using the camera, and not using the screen so much (although its often still useable, just a bit too annoying for frequent use). It would be nice re-using some broken, "free" hardware, so if it gets damaged/stolen it doesn't really matter, those Nest / equivalent devices are not cheap.
Not in my experience, unless you're very close to raising your next round. 20-30 months is about what I'd expect from a Series seed company in between rounds. 15 months is essentially 1 year. It's going to take 6 months to raise more money from start to finish. That means your actual runway is closer to 9 months. Now of course, they could be excluding current and future revenue, which a lot of companies leave out from runway (rightfully so), but if not, 15 feels low.

As things change during this recession, I could see many Seed stage companies pushing to operational break even. If you can keep your annual costs below $1m, and scale to $1m in ARR, you're going to be far better off than companies that have to raise to keep going. If you can grow and sustain the business for another 24-30 months, you'll avoid the game investors are playing now of "let's see how low we can get this valuation".

The most interesting thing I found is that they don't really have love for nintendo. I bought them each a switch lite, that they don't care for at all. They do play mario kart tour on their cell phones occasionally.

Sometimes I feel like Nintendo is becoming a brand for middle age millennials trying to relive their childhood.
