Uh, "smurf" is like that too.

This is timely. Since I’m on sabbatical, I decided to spend 6 months cramming Unreal Engine 5 and Blender to see if I could cobble together enough expertise and the bones of a project to work on together with my now five-year old son over the coming years. I always loved gaming growing up and I figured it would be a great way to get him interested in, and learning, a broad range of skills that might help him along the way in future.

To be honest, it’s been more of a commitment than I expected, but I don’t regret the time spent at all and I think it’s something my son will come to treasure. Sketching imaginary animals into a text book and seeing them come to life in-game a few days later is a magical experience for a kid.

I’d just repeat what a few others have said herein: for hobbyists, keep your expectations for what’s achievable nice and low, make sure you enjoy the journey, and perhaps think about it as something you put an hour into every day, rather than one-focusing on hitting concrete milestones, many of which may remain out of reach for months. Oh, and checklists: write loads of them and keep them handy!

In addition to the other comments about the creation of highly perverse incentives, options trading is intriniscally zero-sum.

When a politician makes a positive return on selling their contract(s), another person loses and their wealth is transferred to the politician.
I mean there are companies that have software that downloads and analyzes press releases (Fed meeting minutes, corporate reports, etc) and bases trades on them.

That’s not something I can do. So the folks who analyze “public” information fast enough effectively turn it into “private information” for the first few milliseconds.

The apocryphal story about the Rothschilds building special boats to report the outcome of Waterloo is like that.

So it seems that you can have massively asymmetrical information, as long as it’s passed on public info. Which seems like a dumb distinction.

In regards to congressmen, they’re often the first people to be exposed to new public information. So the distinction between public and private is less clear for them.

> Google Web Fonts library preloaded in it

so that's just called installing fonts!

I think the idea of web fonts is so that new fonts could be added and a user doesn't have to do something local to the browser.

And this feature costs privacy. If people really understood the implications of loss of privacy, they would not want it. However, most people don't, and would gladly swap privacy for features (and then in the future complain about it when the implications becomes real or affects them).

What about writing scribbles instead of the words. I wonder if the same mechanism would work.
The moment you have to stake 32 ETH to be a validator, it was already made highly inaccessible for most.

As soon as that node ends up running on AWS rather than a user’s typical laptop as suggested by Vitalik and his friends, then that was another decentralization failure there and there is no self-hosting at home.

Finally, when the merge was finalized, there where only two addresses that ended up holding more than 48% of Ethereum that is used for the PoS mechanism to work. Another centralization risk feared that happened in reality.

So, that looks to me like a failure of decentralization and a more centralized system that as expected; made worse with Proof of Stake.
I love ya'll because second person plural is something that English annoying lacks.

I'm also a fan of habitual be because it's something that can be expressed in English, but it sounds verbose or relies on context whereas "I be" is self explanatory without any context -you know that the speakers means "I regularly do/feel ___ "

My favorite phrase puts them together: "ya'll be trippin" is IMO the most efficient way in the English language to tell a group of people that their behavior is unacceptable.

I live in somewhere affected by an excess of water due to climate change (but from heavy rain, not so much sea-level rise). With things like flood defences, once they are breached, it is too late to patch them. You tend to just let the damage get done, and repair it once the acute problem is over with. And maybe build them back better. You get the chance to do that because sea-level rise isn't monotonic: unexpected storm surges and things happen which expose the weak spots and then the water recedes and you get a chance to rebuild.

It's extremely dangerous to go out during flooding when water is more than ankle or knee deep or so. I suspect that what a waterfighters job would be is more like going out in amphibious vehicles to rescue humans ala https://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/1...

Wow that's nifty! Some ADHD friends of mine joke that it'd be awesome to have a ADHDer house cleaning or chores "swap" service. We suck at cleaning our own places but will spend hours cleaning a friends house.

I've never had luck actually doing a "lets get together and do X chore" event though. Well aside from homework and study sessions in university. It'd be awesome if this app helps with actually doing that for everyday life tasks.

It’s not clear to me why insider trading is wrong for anyone. I’m not an expert at securities law, and don’t have a refined opinion.

But the distinction between public information and private information can be quite arbitrary. Especially when Congressional leaks are so common.

If a congressman takes confidential information, puts it in their blog, then makes trades with it, is that ok?

It just seems like the “public information/private information” distinction is less clear, and the harm the law seeks to prevent less defined. And it’s already pretty unclear and undefined, at least to me.
The thing is that it can mean that. It can also mean something sucks. It can also mean that thing over there, or that thing I did last week.

Wow, all this talk about Craigslist's (and Craig's) minimalist approaches really makes pcmag's experience all the more jarring.

- Pcmag wants to push notifications (deny)

- give us your email! (full page sudden popover, tiny "no thanks" text)

- ads every paragraph (big enough to disrupt reading flow)

- ads in floating banner at the top

- browser creaks and groans trying to paint as I scroll, white blocks if I go too fast.

It's almost like they are trying to demonstrate why Craigslist looks the same by giving a vivid counter-example.
Hi all, creator here! Should have put the "Show Hackernews:" entry on the post. Would love feedback and thoughts on next features! Will be posting progress on Twitter (@ghunkins) if interested in updates.
I guess you are right, but a non turn based game would require some way of saving state at least right?

Either through a savefile:

$ play -savefile somefile.sav -moves run,run,jump

... Or maybe using some sort of "cookie":

$ play -cookie "perico" -moves left # outputs "perico42"

$ play -cookie "perico42" -moves left # outputs "the-new-encoded-game-state"

In your case, it seems like the purple server was holding the game state.

Another idea is to make a deterministic game, then allow the user to expand the input one move at the time:

$ play -seed 314 -moves left

$ play -seed 314 -moves left,right

$ play -seed 314 -moves left,right,up

$ ...
Which is the situation we currently have where care-work (teacher, nurse, carer, etc.) are simultaneously the most in-demand, the least replaceable, but also the least rewarded.

That's because you're reading western websites and west is in alliance with Ukraine (mildly saying). So you're basically reading a newspaper written by a party being in war. Of course it'll be overflowing with propaganda.

Try reading Chinese news on that topic, for example. They're neutral party on this one.

What terrifies me is that you people don't seem to notice it.

Postgres still doesn't support SQL:2011, and the temporal_table extension doesn't support the proper syntax, and is a bit jank to boot.

If you have any kind of complex DW or SCD needs Postgres is pretty much immediately out the window. I think MSSQL probably has the best support for that, unfortunately.

> If you're going to do a scam like that on a business level, there's a lot of logistics involved. A mom and pop shop isn't going to be a suitable target, so you're going to be targeting a franchise where you can easily move operations to reduce costs. You have to spend a bunch of time building out a fake website. You have to put multiple boots on the ground to go around changing hundreds of QR codes to improve hit rates.

Yea, this happens already. For example, the finance department at my company was recently phished for a significant amount of funds. How? Someone broke into the payment company that issues the invoices for a company that we use and got their customer list and then started phishing all their clients.

They emailed my finance department, said the account number had changed, even used the same bank, and got us to send a payment for an invoice to that new account. Bank happily paid them out. Nuts. Now we have to try to claw the money back, but I don't think we can get it without long legal proceedings against the bank. Imagine though, having the balls to open a bank account after having broken into a company.

The people in the finance department felt awful and surprised that this could even happen to them. Since then, they've now increased the security 1000x and require voice verification and what not...

My point is, just like you say, you can't trust the trust. The only way this would have worked is if QR codes could only be generated by a trusted third party for all QR codes. Even still, it wouldn't work because I could fake the trusted third party.

You have a nice dream, and it gets me thinking that a "LetsEncrypt for QR codes" might be an interesting business service, but it would require a huge amount of convincing people to use you as well as marketing dollars to get the word out. I still don't think it'll stop everything.

Imagine what you would think if someone claimed that “most movies are violent”. You would think that even a cursory glance at Netflix or Apple TV or the shelf of your local Blockbuster would quickly disabuse you of the notion.

So it is with games. I’d urge you to take a second look. These sorts of generalisations, ill-supported by evidence, have historically been bad for the medium.

I think you'd generally want a long-running process that your individual commands interact with, probably over sockets. I've played around with that model a bit in a few contexts, though haven't written any games yet.
I am under the impression you did not read the comment. I am not making the claim that the travel phone equals entry denial, just that it's a factor among several.

> "I didn't see any study demonstrating that Toxoplasmosis alters the brain of humans. Do you know any to share?"

I've never yet seen any such study yet myself, but I know there's been studies enough on how it affects the brains of mice, and given that it destroys the mouse's "risk aversion" such that the mouse will basically feed itself to a cat (to complete the life cycle of the the parasite), one might wonder if it has a similar effect on the risk aversion portion of the human brain as well… Seems to me that if no proper studies have yet been done on that, then perhaps such studies should be done, considering a significant portion of humanity likely already has this parasite happily eating away at their brains, including probably most of our "leaders".
One thing I don’t see mentioned here is the possibility of additional profiling by disabling web fonts. Doesn’t this make you more more unique as a user since very few people disable web fonts?

I suppose you could argue that many users can be uniquely identified either way but it’s no doubt a strong additional piece of info.

I played through the entire Ace Attorney series in the last couple of years. AAI2 really is a terrific game, and the fan translation is flawless. The game has this incredibly detailed story that sort of weaves back on itself multiple times over - it's really gripping. It also has an absolutely terrific soundtrack.

Highly recommended to fans of logic puzzle type games.
I have some suggestions. Now, I'm a bit of an audiophile and also I'm willing to deal with amounts of jank that others find intolerable. YMMV.

I use Deezer as a music service. It's $15/month for HiFi comparable to Tidal's HiFi subscription. Tidal, however, has DRM that does not allow it to play on Linux as a webapp nor does it have a Linux desktop app. Tidal's out. Now, here's the interesting thing: I never use Deezer to listen to music.

- I use Deemix Server (https://download.deemix.app/server/) to serve a webapp on my media server. This plugs into my Deezer account and I use it to download FLAC quality audio into my media server.

- My media server, of course, runs Plex (https://www.plex.tv/). I have a lifetime pass and it's totally worth it, but keep in mind it is required for this setup.

- Locally on my (phone|laptop|desktop) I use Plexamp (https://plexamp.com/). Plexamp is a beautiful high quality player with no bells and whistles but does one thing really well and that's play my music.

- Since this is all offline playing downloaded files, I use last.fm which plugs into both Deezer (https://blog.last.fm/2012/01/06/scrobble-with-deezer) and Plex (https://www.plex.tv/blog/plex-media-server-v0-9-12-5-a-tasty...) for recommendations, tracking listening, and connecting with friends. Honorable mention to MusicButler (musicbutler.io) which used to be free and simply notifies you of new releases for a "Release Radar" experience.

All this combines to be a less seamless but far better experience than using spotify.

China isn't especially neutral. They want Russia to win. In fact, they want to change the world order in partnership with Russia, and they talk openly about doing so.

But they aren't going to hitch their future to Russia, especially when Russia shows itself to be both weak and incompetent. They aren't going to aid Russia in this war. But they're not neutral. Their news about the war is going to have a definite slant.
Echoing my thoughts down the page, the problems that you mention, from a "normies" perspective, make a interesting thought exercise in wondering how you could attach suitable features to satisfy these needs. It's easy to mumble "open the API", but first one may have to consider how a API can handle the continuation of crucial revenue generation native site features such as advertising and data analysis reuse. Something more involved than a REST interface seems necessary.
Since you seem to really want to do it, I highly recommend that you set aside a fixed amount of time every day and just sit down and start something - anything. You’d be surprised how far that can take you. Don’t go over the hour, though. You’re looking for consistency, not intensity.
