Wish I could get more into single player story games. But I simply do not get the same dopamine rush that I get from winning against real people online. When I as younger I used to love story games because we didn't have internet back then and video games were a luxury. Now I have all the great story games of our era but it simply does not give me the same satisfaction as online multiplayer games.
Maybe read more carefully.

When renewable energy is abundant, we will find it cheaper to synthesize the hydrocarbons we need than to pump them out of the ground, transport, refine, and transport them again.

In the meantime, the overwhelming majority of oil pumped is burned. In the nearer future, only oil that is the absolute cheapest to pump will be, mostly as feedstock for bulk chemistry, because it will not be worth the cost to refine it for fuel.

So where will energy to transition come from? Fossil fuels, which are today produced in the trillions of tons annually. As more renewables are built out, some of their output will go into producing new panels. Eventually, panels will be produced from 100% renewable energy.

You will not notice any change, except lower power bills.
In a team with only two people working on the monster it seems reasonable that they’d be able to manage two development streams at the same time.
being on the wrong side of 40 the CC was to me always available. I always hated them.

So now I hate it double. Either can't understand dialog, or need obnoxious un-immersive subtitles turned on.

So most of the time watching I have to have make an effort to my eyes stay away from the bottom part of the screen, only to "check the cheat sheet" when they start mumbling or ruin the movie with terrible mixing.

It's not the viewer. It's the content.

It seems like most content now. Tenet is just the parody of it, ironically parodying before most of the phenomenon had bloomed.
> Green tech requires massive amounts of dirty energy to produce.

The energy payback time for photovoltaics is 1.2 years in north and less than 1 year in the south with such systems typically lasting longer than 20 years.

That is in line with energy return on investment of fossil fuels.

Build a deployment server and a dev server. You can do this without the team knowing.

Do a swot analysis with the team. Make them answer why it takes days to do simple changes. Make them answer how they'd recover prod if the disks died.

Block access to prod. The team has to code on Dev and upload their artifact to cicd.

They'll hate the change but it's policy and it's enforced. What are they going to do?

Block artifact upload to deployment. They have to merge a branch instead. Be extremely available to help them learn the SCM tool.

They'll hate the change but policy, etc.

Set up a work tracker that lets you link bugs to features. Populate it with historic data. Triage it extensively. Show the team how each bug comes from an earlier change. Show the team git bisect. (You'll need a test server at this point.)

Set them a target: average time per feature or issue. You'll abolish this metric once it's attained for the first time. In the meantime, it's hard to game the metric, because the codebase is fucked.

Wait, and see if they come up with anything on their own - dinner is cooked when it starts making interesting thoughts.

If they fail to work it out, you'll need to coach them. Give them little breadcrumbs.

You want them to understand:

- slow delivery == poor business outcomes
- bugs == poor business outcomes
- git helps with bugs
- cicd lets you write code
- testing reduces (delivery time + bugfix time)

Only when the team understands this can they do the work of fixing the app. (IMO that's a total rewrite, but you're not short of advice ITT.)
I don't know, it hasn't being listed, neither has 0.
Me too. I was just looking for something last week as a good on-prem solution. Phabricator was the first thing I looked at but quickly discovered it was "dead."

For what it is worth, GitLab and GitHub both do an absolutely terrible job of selling to someone where cloud isn't an option.
Don't tell your employer.

This may make it less likely that your employer will take you to court, but if you do this and your employer does choose to pursue a case against you after you leave the court will see it as intentionally deceptive and it definitely won't help your argument.
> How do you fix the things that the test prove are broken?

Uhm. The tests don’t do any such things.

> It is better to spend the time figuring out what all the features are, document them

Yes. And the tests you should write are executable documentation showing how things are. It is like taking a plaster cast of a fossil. You don’t go “i think this is how a brachiosaurus fibula should look like” and then try to force the bones into that shape. You mould the plaster cast (your tests) to the shape of the fossil (the code running in production). Then if during excavation (the rewrite) something changes or get jostled you will know immediately that it happened, because the cast (the tests) no longer fit.
I am exactly the same. Even with the audio on, I can’t focus on what’s happening on the screen when captions are on.

My 26 year-old son watches everything with captions, so there’s always a battle because I switch them off and he switches them back on again.
With something like that new LOTR show, the budgets are so astronomical but where’s the auteur? It’s a series so presumably directors are not consistent.

Might be an issue that there isn’t a single person pushing the world, aesthetic, vibe and vision making the actors immersed in their roles. In the end getting all dressed up and standing against a green screen probably feels a bit silly without someone selling it to you.

The situation with Lisp is exactly the same. To run a Lisp self-interpreter, we don’t pass it a Lisp function:

(interpret (lambda (x) x))

but rather an encoded version of that Lisp function’s code:

(interpret (cons 'lambda (cons (cons 'x nil) (cons 'x nil)))

Of course, Lisp gives us a more convenient syntax for the latter, in the form of the quote macro:

(interpret (quote (lambda (x) x)))

(interpret '(lambda (x) x))

But the quote macro is not a function; it’s just syntax. If it were a function, you’d expect this to be equivalent:

(interpret
(let ((f (lambda (x) x)))
(quote f)))

which of course it is not.

Although the quote macro is an important part of what makes Lisp Lisp, it’s not a fundamental part of what makes Lisp a programming language. We could write any Lisp program without it (assuming we were still given a way to build a primitive 'symbol).
James Stephanie Sterling did a video a long time ago (which I currently cannot find) about "the best game for your HD TV" and concluded (IIRC) that it was Viva Pinata because of the ludicrous colourfulness of the game which really showed off the power of HD TVs.

I agree with what you said mostly

> And who exactly should have the authority to decide which ideas are allowed and which are not?

This is the scariest part, because in the end everyone has their own bias.

However, don’t you agree that things like speech can soon become an ideology at some point? Which we already blocked anyway i.e communism, nazism

It is indeed a hard problem to solve and hard decision for the leader of big tech companies tbh
Nice, any tips on how to do that? Is there a Cargo thing or just run regular ole strip?

No, that's not it. I grew up with literally everything in English being subtitled. Always hated it, but all I can do is make an effort to not have my eyes there.

Even some DVDs did not have the option to turn off subtitles. I never had subtitles on for anything that gave me the option. (I even bought DVDs from overseas occasionally to not get subtitles)

But now every other show is frequently incomprehensible.

Either they've put lead in the drinking water, making us all not understand the spoken word, or they've made dialog audio shit.
Thanks but I do feel a bit guilty :)
A long time ago (in the 90s, and in the UK) an engineer who worked with my Dad wrote a book that was something like "Hit Singles of the 1970s". The company, which made communications satellites, took him to court and claimed the IP and all the profits from it, and won.

Dont assume things are unenforceable just because they sound stupid.
> You may notice that in movie theaters—the most focused and immersive watching experience there is—they don’t show captions except maybe when translating foreign language.

Well, it just tells you come from the English speaking country. For the rest of us, subtitles in a movie theatre are among most normal things in the world.

> in the US anti-trust laws don't take into account company size at all.

It takes into account market power.

> and a monopoly isn't inherently in violation of anti-trust laws.

Good thing that I didn't say that every single monopoly, ever, is in violation of anti-trust law then.

> A small company can engage in anti-competitive practices

It can, yes. But the law is much more likely to make these practices illegal if the company has a large amount of market power.

So yes, the more market power, or larger influence, that a company has, the more likely that some, but not all, laws will apply to them and regulate their behavior.
How do I interact with the website? It's just a static image for me
> And that is completely consistent with precedent that the First Amendment actually protects people from censorship.

This is not the precedent! The first amendment absolutely allows citizens to engage in editorialization and "censorship".

The first amendment protects you from the government! And it gives me the right to assembly, including assembly with others in the form of a joint business venture! And if I assemble with others, very importantly: I don't lose my constitutional rights. Because even when I am assembled, I am protected from government overreach.

The Bill of Rights doesn't protect you from me, and it never has. The Bill of Rights does not protect you from censorship, and it never has. The Bill of Rights does precisely one thing: it protects you, and me, from the government and government overreach. And the government preventing me from speaking against you is government censorship of me.

Like, the ACLU, EFF, and Cato Institute all filed amicus briefs supporting NetChoice (previously when the even dumber part of this ruling was before the Supreme Court).

Edit in response to the below:

no, social media sites aren't common carriers, and you've already admitted that your whole fairness doctrine schtick is a stretch, since the internet's infrastructure isn't licensed by the government (and of course, it cannot be: I don't need a license to upload things!) Treating point-to-point social media, such as instant messaging, like a common carrier might make sense, but a reddit comment or a tweet don't resemble what common carriers carry or how common carriers work. They don't have a destination.

It's also, of course, important to note that there is no constitutional right to ship goods, so while it may be reasonable to regulate such industries, regulating a company whose product is speech is much more tenuous, so while the government can absolutely do common carrier things to a shipping company, it is enjoined, by the constitution, from making a speech company a common carrier.

Edit again:

Phone companies don't produce speech. I cannot hear what you say on the phone. I can see what you tweet. You might rephrase it as publishing vs. messaging. The regulations on a company whose product is publishing cannot be treated the same way as anything else (cue irrelevant arguing about a misunderstanding of section 230). Reddit and twitter and such allow me to publish what I say. T-mobile ships what I say. Common carrier regulations apply only to shipping companies, not publishing companies.
TL;DR

3 main reasons are:

1. Motion blur is heavily used on consoles. While PC games have this option, it’s typically not used since PC gamers sit much closer to the screen compared to console gamers (monitor vs TV), which can cause an uncomfortable and dizzying experience.

2. Input lag of controllers tends to be higher than for gaming mice.

3. Frametime on PC can be less stable (microstutters) due to the large variation in parts of a PC build (can have bottlenecks in storage, GPU, CPU, etc.). Consoles are built with the same components and as a result have a more consistent frametime.
It is hearsay. The IPCC reports predicted a range of possible outcomes, depending on what we did. We did the things that implied the results they predicted and we got.
It's not just hard to track, it's hard to know at all this early. There will be a lot more information over the next few months.
I think the thing is that the codebase after 5 years of development was already capable of making 19M/year, and the past 7 extra years have just added 1M/year. The next year of development will not add any more because the thing is collapsing under it’s own weight.

I'm from a country that has always subtitled movies so this doesn't even sound weird to me. (I watch foreign movies in a language that i know with subtitles in the original language though.)

But in the case of tiktok and netflix, it's probably because the content isn't worth your full attention...
The only reason the First Amendment is in this discussion at all is because the companies are claiming that the First Amendment forbids laws like this, which is clearly false, since such laws have existed for a long time (as mentioned above).

I didn't mean to imply that the First Amendment forbids private censorship (other laws do that). What I meant was, the First Amendment protects people from censorship, when it applies. It's perverse logic to claim that an amendment that prevents government censorship really means that there's a right to censor.

And everything about corporations is an irrelevant distraction; the law would also apply to an individual who owned and operated a social media network entirely by themselves as a sole proprietor.

Edit in response to edit:

> you've already admitted that your whole fairness doctrine schtick is a stretch

No, I admitted that there are some differences. The essential argument, that the First Amendment does not forbid such laws, remains relevant.

> social media sites aren't common carriers

They are if the government says they are, as recently happened to ISPs. This law doesn't exactly do that, but it has similar effect, and that's relevant because it shows that laws with this effect are constitutional.

> [the government] is enjoined, by the constitution, from making a speech company a common carrier.

Phone companies transmit speech, and are considered common carriers.

Edit again:

Whether the communications tech is one to one or one to many, the speech is still the speech of the person communicating, not the tech company. Any free speech rights belong to the writer, not the company that owns the wires or software involved in transmission.

Publishers are something different entirely. Their core business is content creation, not operating the printing press or website. They pay their writers and tell them what to write about. They own the content they publish. And yes, they are responsible for what they publish.
New Unicorn births nosedive in Q3
There are some people that play with a full appreciation of the numbers and want to min-max everything, as you’d expect. But this is absolutely not my experience of Crusader Kings II and especially III. You can approach it almost entirely as a role playing game, or even a story-telling sandbox. You find yourself in situations that aren’t just “how do I beat this neighbouring power with greater attack/defence numbers” but more like “oh no, my oldest children died, I’ve married off my remaining daughter for an alliance and all her heirs are of the wrong house, how can I get her to remarry while forcing the kids to all to become monks or die?” All while writing love poetry to your wife and looking after your favourite horse.
Specifically, I want a backup key off-site. Anytime I enroll a new service, I need to retrieve my backup key from storage for the purposes of enrolling. Depending on how/where the backup is stored (bank box, parent's house across the country, etc) that would make the system less workable in practice.

Good, cursive is stupid. School already finds so many idiotic ways to waste your childhood, removing this one seems like a solid win.

As for the "tyranny of relevance", sure, we shouldn't only learn things that are strictly "beneficial". Abstract thinking is important and I can buy an argument that cursive forces our brain to think about language differently. Well, I can't buy it because I see no support for that let alone support for it being a better investment than, say, an additional hour of reading, or an additional hour of learning a new language, etc.

The discussion here is about whether this segregates the population into "those who have access to cursive materials and those who don't" but if anything that's a great case for not having cursive - it was a mistake then, it's a mistake now.

I find it odd that one student would choose not to read handwritten letters altogether because they're in cursive. Surely there's a transcript, and if your goal is to glean the emotion from the weight of the penmanship, I don't think that cursive will be a significant barrier. Or just learn cursive, I think an adult can likely learn cursive well enough to read it in an hour? It's... not hard. Reading crazy old cursive was never something we were taught, so no one has regressed there, that shit that just looks like '/-/-/-///--/----/~~~~' may as well have its own name, it isn't cursive. I mean, I guess that's kind of critical to this whole article - it maintains that only a few will be trained it it, but it's not a difficult skill and I suspect anyone who cares that they are "locked out" of that world would just pick it up in a weekend.

IDK, I get the point, and for a lot of things I see this as an issue, but fuck cursive Rest In Shit
No, Kotlin's goal was great interop from the start. Clojure and Scala have better interop with Java than, say, Rust with C++, but it's often painful to consume Java libs from them and consuming Clojure of Scala libs from Java is not a thing in practice.

Ask HN: What happened to Kaleidoscope? (Mac app)
I purchased a diffing tool ~2018 from blackpixel called kaleidoscope. I paid $35.

Been happily using almost every day for several years but now forced to upgrade to an M1 mac by my company.

I went to the website and seems they were purchased by a new company and are offering an "upgrade" for $69.99, double what i paid for full license...the full version is $149.99, over 4x what I paid for it originally???

As far as I can tell the only update is "dark mode" and M1 support.

This is why I despise using Apple products. They keep deprecating things that work perfectly as an excuse to sell more hardware, now I am force to abandon the software or pay an extortionate (to me) fee for a useless contrived update.
There is no known example of a language successfully doing (significant) backward-incompatible changes. The few languages that tried usually got caught in a decade+ long mire (Python3).

Now, many languages, including C++, have gotten away with smaller backwards-incompatible changes (e.g. C++ 17 removed dynamic exception specifications from the language entirely - getting away with it because it was an almost entirely unused non-feature).

Edit: removed some reference to PHP6 where I had a wrong recollection.
I find it hard to imagine you’d never heard of source control by now. You’d have to have been living under a rock for the past 15 years.

That's interesting - I have subtitles on at all times (I am Swedish, we never dub adult content so I have used subtitles for a very long time), but when I do watch children's movies with my kids, they are dubbed, and then I find having subtitles on is extremely annoying.

I cannot stand having subtitles in the same language as the dialogue, but which differs in phrasing/content. It is very distracting to me.
Probably it was recorded with an 80s home video camera! The video must date from around that time or maybe the 90s.
