I think part of that is because we are expected to put up with frustrating software at work because we are getting paid for it so if the work is more work than it needs to be, well just shut up and do your job.

Games are supposed to be fun. The money goes the other way, so the annoyances are taken a bit more seriously. The creator has to take that frustration on themselves instead of externalizing it, which is more work for them.

Add to that the delight aspect, and games try crazy stuff that would never fly with business software. 'Safe' doesn't get you many accolades so you're essentially obliged to try at least a few things. And the shelf life is lower so even if you fuck up you usually only have to hear about it for three years and then you can try something new. Once in a while, every five years or so, one of those UI gambles ends up being adopted by the industry, so while not the most effective petri dish for general UX research, it still gets some results.
My pleasure, happy to discuss how to architect if there’s a discord / GitHub issue. I know for a fact the react native community are pining for this.
It's within the sphere of discrimination but may also be a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ).

Of course this only describes how a legal framework might negotiate between adverse impacts and technical merit. In terms of who has the responsibility of fixing the ripples of current and historical wrongdoings between races, I don't think businesses are the right place to start. By the time it gets to business, asking people to make potentially unmeritorious decisions is a kind of corruption.

Society-wide grievances ought to be addressed at the national level via a reparations program which funds education and family.
Would this be easier if you were building solar into the ground directly to use the earth as a heat sink? Or is it cheaper to have floating panels?
CDDA is one of my faves, great community too.
it seems to, but sometimes getting the seller to ever reply is a herculean feat. people regularly fail to remove items they've sold, or they literally just never ever reply.

hard to tell if it really has that much more to choose from.

This isn't a conspiracy at all. Back around 2000 old songs became more expensive in general, and a lot of the oldies stations dried up. The original cuts are still harder to hear in the version you remember hearing on the radio. Same with all digital stuff. If you understand how royalties and payments work in the music industry, this isn't a surprise.
Even a small increase in demand can result in a large price change if it pushes into a different part of the demand curve (e.g., if the "cheap" demand has been supplanted with customers willing to pay more then the market price can change drastically).
The liner notes for the dvd have a chapter named Risk is Good, if you wanna be salty about more stuff.
As someone who works very prominently in mobile device security, and had to long ago come to the realization that I actually KNEW the people who could manage to hack into my phones... I agree with your answer 100%. The threat analysis here leading to only using Firefox on your desktop computer to access your bank makes absolutely no sense to me and--to inject some conspiracy theory back into this (for shits and giggles)--almost feels like "what the enemy wants you to do" ;P.
Cities don't necessarily know if construction is going to happen a month in advance. Plans can change, so they have windows, sometimes decently large (months) windows to do the work.

Something similar happened to me where my car was towed to the yard (law says it should've been relocated iirc) for being parked in a construction zone while I was on vacation. When I got back I didn't check on my car for a few days and when I finally went to my car, I found it was towed and that I needed to pay $800 to get my car out. Thing is -- the permits for the construction on that day were canceled. So they did construction without a permit.

So when I attempted to contest it in court, I was pulled aside by the city's legal staff and told that they were throwing out the tickets, fines, and storage fees because they... didn't have enough information on the tickets. The judge signed the release and I had my car two hours later.

It's hard to give any ounce of good faith to these systems when they do things like not tell you they're throwing the tickets out before the court date, nor do they have any semblance of automation to find those sorts of ticket gaps. For me, I was able to take a couple days off of work to do research and go to court, but that's not the case for so many people.
To be pedantic 1.03 * 3 is ~1.093, which is much less than 1.4 = 350/250, so the behavior is still quite surprising.
My point is that it is not your (or my) right to tell anyone what a good use of power is or is not. Simply because we all consume power one way or another. Expressing an opinion is fine... we can all have one of those, but we should be considerate of pot/kettle there.
The only reason I switched to team Green was the noise reduction for microphone. My 5700XT worked just fine.
> C [optionally] supports converting pointers to intptr_t (or uintptr_t)

Yes it's optional, but it's "generally" supported.

> (even with nominally sufficient width)

C99 says: "Any pointer type may be converted to an integer type. Except as previously specified, the result is implementation-defined. If the result cannot be represented in the integer type, the behavior is undefined. The result need not be in the range of values of any integer type."

I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to parse that, but it sounds like if the result is in range of an integer then it's supposed to work?

I guess you could technically say all results have a zillion added to the actual value? Rules lawyering gets annoying pretty fast.

> and certainly not to a floating point type, which is how NaN boxing works

NaN boxing works by converting to an integer type first. What it does with the bits afterwards is not important to C, as long as it reconstructs the same integer before converting back.
You can't have affordable housing and also oppose density, not without also being for continual environmental destruction that suburban sprawl requires. This article has so many "well meaning" but delusional people who literally the symptom of the problem. It's time these people were overruled, for the public good and for the planet.

This is only sort of true. I’ve been making games for over thirty years and nearly hit twenty years of doing it professionally. The truth is you only need to be passable at some of those things. Even if you want to make a game by yourself. Whilst I don’t think everyone has a commercially successful game in them I also am pretty sure that’s way more to do with circumstance and project management ability than any sort of raw talent. On top of which no game is truly the work of one person even if the help is uncredited.

TLDR; games like movies are a sum of parts that is a lot less creative and original than might appear at first blush.
I've used the Google docs as a reference to build software that parses '.proto' files and then generate code based on what I found. The docs are... incomplete, ambiguous, and in some places directly contradict the behaviour of protoc. So they're okay as a guide for learning how to write '.proto' files by hand, but a specification they are not.

It's been several years, so I can't point you to specifics. But if you look at open source projects that parse '.proto' files and do anything interesting with the result, you'll probably find lots of comments to the effect of "docs say X, but we are doing Y because that's what protoc does".
In the video, there is a quote by Nvidia CEO complaining about AIBs making all the money when they(Nvidia) do all the work
I do not want to take on CRDT lightly, since I want to make sure it doesn't balloon the library - it'd probably be an optional module. I feel like that's one of the next big things to tackle, so does v3.0 sound good? :)

In the meantime try opening up the drawing demo (https://tinybase.org/demos/drawing/) in two or more (of the same) browser windows and move things around. This is just via local storage but imagine how cool it would be to have that across broader collaboration...
my last craigslist experiences were similar, they either flaked or they showed up with less cash and said "how about a discount" even after the price was said to be firm.

I've said "nope" and walked away from cash sales that try that nonsense. and the whole experience soured me on Craigslist for quite a while.

also, around here there are a ton of small businesses that basically flood the listings with whatever they can. it's not even a person selling the stuff, it's a storefront.

I'm an immigrant living in the UK. So British laws and decisions like Brexit affect me despite the fact I have no say in them in any way shape or form. But that's beyond the point.

I take the issue with you calling my approach entitled. There's a correct way to do paperwork and incorrect way. EVGA does their paperwork in an incorrect way - demanding it to be correct is not entitlement, because....how can it be? It's like saying that asking someone to follow the speed limit is entitlement.

Or to give another example - it's as if I opened a company sending products to American customers, but never bothered to read up on American customs forms, so my customers would end up getting charged extra duties unnecessarily.

If they complained about it, would you call them entitled?

>>You mean like randomly drawing maps on a line to divide up the Middle East, without getting anyone local involved? Yes! It is.

So British imperial past means that EVGA can simply not bother to fill out their paperwork correctly? That's a leap of logic if I have ever seen one.

>>Most assume Britain=England and call the English "Brits."

I think you actually have a really poor understanding of how it works. English, Welsh and Scottish people are all British, so calling English people Brits is 100% correct. The only citizens of the United Kingdom who are not British are the people of Northern Ireland who are simply Northern Irish, but I'm just not sure how that's relevant to this discussion or why am I explaining this to you.
Wrong. It will be valued at something ridiculous like 20x EBITDA (average for tech related companies) and you'll be taxed on that number.
It's shockingly bigoted behaviour to come on the Internet and tell the English people they don't even exist.
Yes, but more from a "what do they do, and how do we code them" than "how are they derived mathematically". I think sampling methods might be the bit of this which is the hardest to fully understand given our prerequisites (just high school math) and may require a follow up course to cover more deeply.
I’ve been detained, pushed down onto the trunk of the cruiser, handcuffed behind my back, patted down, put in the back, backup called, investigated, and released on the scene. The cop had a fairly reasonable reason to do what they did that turned out to be based on a false premise [I "matched the description" but wasn't the guy], I complied, and 15-20 minutes of my life was wasted.

Was it awesome? Nope. Do I get that cops aren’t clairvoyant or omniscient and sometimes people get put in and then taken out of cuffs without being arrested? Yup.
Hey now, I think mine is fine :p
No. The record I have kept of my reading, more or less, over the last roughly fifteen years, is in handwritten notebooks. They are accessible chiefly to me, though certainly if my wife a) can read my handwriting and b) could be bothered to do so, she would be welcome to look.

It is true that one can be vain with oneself as the sole audience, but I wonder how common that case is. I'm going to give myself a pass on that, since the purpose of the list is mostly to remind me.
I can't remember the answer to the recovery question

Having been in that position myself, I now make sure that any recovery question I accept to use has a single answer (or maybe two at a maximum) that is based on my personal past and can never change. Like "What was your mother's maiden name?" for example.

This happened to me in SF. It was pride parade day, and I parked in a perfectly legal spot. But when I came back a couple of hours later all the cars had been towed and there were a bunch of special event vehicles parked there. The cops had put up a special event no parking notice, but by law that has to be done 48 hours in advance. They didn't tow me to another spot like this, though. Just towed me to impound where I had to pay about $500 to get my car back.

Gridcoin rewarded seti@home when seti@home was operating and still rewards a number of other BOINC projects. It is proof of stake based and the rewards are layered on top.

There is a similar cryptocurrency called curecoin for folding@home although I think they do use SHA-256 mining (i.e not useful computations) for part of the rewards
negawatt at play:

" When California’s peak power consumption surpassed 50,000 MW on an historically hot September 6, it was still 25,000 MW below levels recorded on a recent hot summer day in Texas, a state with a much smaller population and economy. This highlights the crucial importance of the demand side of the electric reliability equation."

On the one hand at least an ASIC is more power efficient than a GPU, but on the other hand it seems that all "do pointless work" based mining will tend to optimal power usage and so every system will always just be burning absurd quantities of power :-/

Right. But, again, a) the job loss is going to happen anywhere, in or out of the US, and b) having medical bills among the debts one can't pay without a job is not the same thing as "American with job gets hangnail = bankruptcy!!!", which is what one would believe based on the typical rhetoric on the subject.
Drones run Linux: free software isn't enough
Someone wanted to add an "on the bright side!" to a sentence which wanted to be "Peltier coolers are less efficient, and also less powerful: they will burn more electricity while moving less heat".
John Quincy Adams was elected two decades after his father left the White House.

That’s not exactly reliable succession.
It's worth mentioning the recent development of extremely miniaturized (soda can-sized) refrigeration compressors, such as those from Aspen Systems [1]; these allow for efficient cooling in small spaces that just can't be achieved with Peltier-based solutions.

An interesting project I've seen using one of them is this portable chiller suit to cool the human body on-the-go, intended for relief of Multiple Sclerosis symptoms [2].

For DIY/prototyping, there are a bunch of Chinese manufacturers now producing compressors of these sizes along with the appropriate driver board for the variable-speed AC motor [3]. I'm excited to see how this technology will be applied elsewhere in time.

I'm not an expert, but if it's a chip that just synthesizes DNA from a sequence of base pairs, isn't what you're asking similar to making a computer that can't be used to perform evil? I suspect that computing if a given sequence is usable in a pathogen is equivalent to the halting problem. And practically, it seems that a lot of computational resources are required to figure out what a protein does, even for common cases.
I agree. For a long time I felt games weren't art in the same vein as e.g. painting. More recently I've come to feel that's not true. As you say, making compelling games requires compelling art across multiple mediums. Add on top of that interactivity and agency! That's part of what's so satisfying about making them. It's an incredible challenge and measure of your ability.
> Ouch, tough crowd

Meta: hacker news is known for this, but it's really not personal (modulo very few mean folks). People have an adversarial mindset and will poke holes in everything, even things that are awesome. If the biggest critique against your project is the font (superficial) you can interpret is as an absence of more fundamental criticism.

Fonts and fancy looking things in particular tend to be critizised extra hard if it interferes with accessibility or scroll (scroll jacking comes with capital punishment in the hacker news universe). If you want 0 critique the safest option is #000 Times New Roman on #fff background. Then you will please the hacker news zeitgeist (at the expense of everyone else).
Can’t believe I’m defending journalist but this analogy is only partially accurate imho.

People consume press and news media on their own volition, and even more less-vetted but newsworthy information through social media. Journalists are gassing what consumers respond to.

I believe what’s happened is that in the past, local news consumers were aware of their own “fire” (crime, civics, politics) and now in a connected world it feels like their standing amongst a great massive fire, but really they just have visibility into all of the little fires (or consternation that their local fire doesn’t seem important to anyone).
College was necessary for me. Will my own child need it like I did?
Pretty cool. I do a lot of game dev and have searching for solutions like CastleDB but built in the NodeJS ecosystem. This looks like it could check a lot of boxes for me.

What I want is to be able to define my tables with something like JSON schema, and automatically have the typescript typings available when querying. The data would be serialised to Git friendly json, and there would also be support for different media types which get saved and organised in the local file system.

For me, a game developer who wants to be very hands on with bespoke tooling/editor functionality, I only want a simple foundational base, something along the lines of Airtable, with the workflow centred around Git.

The court’s opinion in the case disagrees, stating “Marriage is one of the 'basic civil rights of man,' fundamental to our very existence and survival.”
Have you read many other founding documents?

Flowery language about the people and claims about rights are common even amongst states which are - in practice - the worst oligarchies or dictatorships, and I can't think of any democratic constitutions containing as an egregious a provision in favour of the rich as the Three Fifths Compromise. (In fairness to the US Constitution, claims about inalienable rights were relative novelty at the time, and a lot of the flowery language and claims about rights in other countries' constitutions are borrowed from it and its Enlightenment inspirations)

The one feature of its design which has helped it persist is that it's quite heavily weighted against change (federal structure, separation of powers, supermajorities for amendments) but in some contexts that looks more like a bug than a feature. But overall I'd say its continuity is primarily the result of simple fact the US has existed for longer and under less external pressure than most states than anything particularly outstanding about the text or polity design. That and the Confederacy losing. The quasi-Biblical reverence most Americans treat it with doesn't hurt either, but then some of us Brits get misty eyed at the thought of the Magna Carta, and that's a load of waffle about Cinque Ports and Earls' heirs!
Yeah, the browser can download a page via HTTP 3 - sure. My point is, I want to be able to use the full capabilities at my discretion from my JS code, not just a "dumb" fetch(...). HTTP 3 can do more than just offer webpages for download. And WebTransport is exactly that.

I often found people could get a concept up and running (nine levels is impressive) but that there were boring things still to do like high scores, saved games, control configuration UI, settings, etc. that were a sort of hurdle that many people weren't willing to invest in.

Then again, getting something just up to the point that it is playable, a proof of concept, is when you can really see if a game is fun or not. I have floppy disks full of games that never made it past that point because there was just ... something missing.
EVGA is doing what every iOS developer secretly dreams of doing whenever they have to deal with some new stupid bullshit from Apple. Respect.

Also, I've always liked EVGA. I've bought a few of their cards over the years, and many power supplies, and I've never had a bad experience. It seems like they really care about making quality products, which is pretty rare to see nowadays.

If they start expanding into new products with the same focus on quality, that'll be a net gain for the world. Maybe they'll try making laptops again?

Or maybe this is all just an elaborate power move to put pressure on Nvidia and renegotiate their relationship.
