I started having this problem around 40. A lot of it came from a heavy marijuana habit that seemed to reduce my working memory with the tradeoff that I became more clever at small-scale problems(I call it a tactical vs strategic tradeoff).

Quit smoking pot and things got a lot better for a while, but then things seemed to resume their downward slide. Sleep apnea didn't help, and treating it made things better for a while, but that slide continued.

Now I just try to manage it with lots of notes, scripting everything I can, and trying to simplify my workflow wherever possible. Hopefully things stabilize in my 50s or I don't think I'll be good for much engineering work beyond that. I have a number of dopamine-related movement disorders though so there may be some special issues in my case.
What's the problem if you intend to return it?
Title is mostly correct. Cyberpunk 2077 currently has the highest number of concurrent players on Steam of any single player game.
Absolutely no, other GMs such as Daniel Naroditsky said that at that level they only need to get assistance at a couple of critical moments.
> Helping total strangers out with my tax money is not something I just do because it is the right thing to do, I also do it because living in a nicer society feels better than living in one where one quarter is desperately fighting for survival while another quarter has basically already given up.

This is basically my thought process, and I also feel it would be a stronger argument in a lot of cases. Some amount of me, in some cases, views the taxes through the lens of helping people and making a collective better future. Another part of me is much more selfish about it. Don't like seeing homeless, drug addicts, dirty streets, street tents, beggers, etc? Pay your share to not see them.
‘Serial’ case: Adnan Syed released, conviction tossed
Nah fuck that. Magnus is the greatest he's not at the whims of some shithead.
Any guesses on when we will get Factorio running on Factorio?
This is a historically narrow view of the situation.

We are all living in a post-war era. That war was over whether and how much of the software in the world should be locked up behind proprietary licenses and paywalls. To win the war, Open Source had to produce software that was less awful than the proprietary software it was trying to unseat. It did. Companies went out of business or adapted.

Now everyone is trying to pretend that the choice all along was between someone else's software and making your own. That wasn't the choice, and it's revisionist history to claim otherwise. A war was one, territory was occupied, and the 'treaty' at the end of that war was "make stuff that isn't awful", which is being peeled away layer by layer.

The above is the opening to my thesis as to why SaaS is now trying to eat Open Source: FOSS is abdicating responsibility for quality, and so the only way to get quality is to harass FOSS authors who think we are ungrateful whiners, or pay for improvements on the backs of paying customers who just want software that works, not to be told to put up or shut up.

The only sane way to defend against the re-privatization of FOSS software is to stop treating your users like they need to grow up and realize that you're deflecting. Unless authors accept that you have an ethical responsibility that comes with occupying a corner of the collective consciousness, it's going to be walled gardens everywhere you look.

We aren't paying people to 'steal' your code. We're paying people to act like professionals.
Spirited Away with Heidegger
Interesting historical footnotes, but without a handy AC power supply, even a rectifier isn't much use. Note that most (but not all) of Faraday's devices produced direct current.

Babbage's failure to ship a working product set back computing about 100 years.
Software repositories have every right to set terms and conditions for their use.

Nothing about tossing a blueprint into the world entitles you to have blueprint hosting for free and without requirements.

Folks who don't like that there are terms and conditions on hosting software in repositories are free to host it themselves.
People are constantly convicted of insider trading that have very remote connections with the people receiving the privileged information. The great thing about insider trading is that the trading part is public, regulators do track trading activity and suspiciously well timed trades can be investigated. It is definately not something that wouldn't have any effect.
Thanks!

1) Yeah I'm aware of the U curve. Kind of funny that I throw me a bone from time to time to keep myself having better expectation of future life down the road (Let's see if we can study General Relativity in the future -- Yes I know you are unhappy right now and does not have the will power to do any serious study, but maybe in a few years you will);

2) I have seen the Meditations gets mentioned a few times on HN. I'll definitely buy a copy and read during night. I wonder if I have the vocabulary to listen to the audiobook (not a native English speaker) but maybe I can find one in my mother tongue;

3) I heard about hypnotherapy from X-Files many years ago. I'm a bit scared about seeking its help because I don't know what I'm going to say during the session, could be scary. But I'll read the book first.

Anyway thanks for the help! I hope your journey ends well and fruitful.
I'm not moving goalposts at all. All I'd want is a way to get most of the parts from OEM & be able to install them. At the very least I'd expect to be able to swap:
1) Battery (consumable)
2) Front (LCD)
3) Back (either just the glass or the whole frame)

But we have to be honest with ourselves here: what good is it to have a repair manual when you cannot buy genuine parts? I mean yeah, this is a small-ish win, but it will not help to say it is "good enough". Sorry, but that is just not good enough.

The thing that pisses me the most is that I genuinely think that iPhones are amazing phones. They are quite nicely engineered and they easily could last you 5-8 years. Why put so much engineering effort to artificially cripple the device? Most of us will buy the new model anyway. And those who cannot (or don't want) should be able to keep theirs for as long as possible. It seems wastefull and unnecessary to fight it.
Yep:

Story is wonderful, immersive, not many games make me feel for characters but Witcher III does, same as Mass Effect series. On the other hand I'm different than you, for me fights mechanics (while I liked it too) are not as important as story, world, characters and music.
Which causes you to then lose what you have typed in the screen already.

TBH, these semi-snarky "How is this any different from MS/MR?" responses are like "Why should a CPU ever need more than 2 registers?" to me.
Nah. It is time to stop blaming democrats for republican policies. People go to GOP, because they like GOP as it is.

I never seen progressives being blamed on GOP with equivalent "they made them do it".
Actually I hardly ever use public transport. And I didn't suggest my existence was car-less, just far far less car dependent than it used to be.
Nobody's suggesting we're going to get to a zero-net-emissions world just by these sorts of personal choices, but I think more could be done to promote that there are benefits to be had even if some of them seem like giving up on things we enjoy.
This is outside my expertise but i remember doing svg animations, web gl animations and unity animations roughly ~10 years ago.
But maybe that was a few years to late or not applicable to your case?

But an app with vector animations should have been doable (not to hard in theory) if you could have found the investment for it, right?
> they used whatsapp for coordination so I didn't join

How much personal opportunity cost is acceptable before it becomes worth using a platform you don't like...?

Remember that even if it your life's sole goal to eliminate the use of that platform worldwide, you will probably achieve more if you take every opportunity possible, including those gatekept by the platform you don't like...
Not just "too literally" but outright incorrectly.

"A supply chain is a network of individuals and companies who are involved in creating a product and delivering it to the consumer. Links on the chain begin with the producers of the raw materials and end when the van delivers the finished product to the end user. "

The exchange of money, guarantees, quality assurance... None of it is required.
It was one of my favourite things about Zelda breath of the wild. Some sessions I felt more like a conductor, depending on what I did in game, I could control the music. It was an amazing system to give you a clue on what was in your surroundings.
That’s an insightful idea.

There’s no question of unconscious and unintentional bias that goes on, even with the best of intentions.

Forcing a quota system cannot be the right answer, however.
Arduino you ain't cheatin'? :)
It is indeed a protection against evil maid attacks as well as the industrialised version of shipment interception.

It's probably also some form of PR and brand protection, and part of platform security as a whole.

I doubt that any commercial company would find the side-effect of less end-user tampering a true downside; if the device says "I have been tampered with", that's a very clear signal that someone coming in for some warranty repair has some explaining to do.
The open world was an albatross they should have ditched in favor of the main quest; the campaign is cinematic and awesome, the combat is bomb, but the world is... well, you traverse it, and that's about it.
Physical supply chains are full of fungible products such as wheat, pork bellies or gold.

Such products are what the word "fungible" was first used to describe.
People play games years after launch. I played Witcher 3 2-3 years after launch, I bought Cyberpunk one year ago and I did not install it yet, waiting for a reasonable GPU to be available. I know people that play 10 year old games (for example the X Universe series or Mass Effect), so measuring player number is interesting, but not that important.
From what I see here [1] Niemann's c4 is a natural continuation. What's all the fuss about?

I've been using Firefox forever but the problem is - it's now too big. Because it's - like you mention - following Chrome. To stay relevant, FF implements all the bloat Chrome churns out. Even worse, it's tempted to follow Chromes' extension manifest to stay compatible.

So I meant it looks like a lost battle. And it may be better to reboot to a smaller, nifter browser that a small team/community can handle.

edit: and of course cut all ties with Google financing.
One person is talking about how accusations which affect credibility ought to be handled. The other person is noting that credibility has already been damaged by prior to this event.
It's hard to imagine why anyone thought SMTP was a good design.

Were they trying to make it obtuse or did they just love the back and forth, time consuming, command/response conversational style with multiple different response codes to be parsed at each step?

As this example shows, the whole thing can easily be done in a single POST.
> octopuses recognize individual people

Insufficient.

> This entails that they have a mental model of what others think of them

No, not necessarily true. Tons of insects use deception tactics and you would not suggest they're as "intelligent as a cat", let alone have a mental model. Hell, there are deceptive plants. See this about European lady's slipper orchids - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-009-0611-0

It's tempting to explain away all behavior with consciousness, but it's not necessarily accurate.
Also, is that redstone wiring non-vanilla, or is it just a texture pack?
Some people are advocating just giving homeless people housing and then saying homelessness is solved. I'm not suggesting you are advocating for that, I just was attempting to be clear that something more than just providing housing needs to be done.
Well, most chess games end in a draw.

This reminds me of something I think I came up with in Blitz and Bullet games a decade ago and coined the name: a “time sac”.

It is when in the middlegame I make a dubious sacrifice (positional or material) — some possibly cool combination or a move that makes the opponent think in time pressure. It is not a bluff because it MIGHT work out, but I am not sure.

This works mostly in games without an increment. The idea is to make them get much lower on the clock than me, so even if I end up with a slightly worse position or down material, I can easily hold it until I win on time.

My opponents in chess, even over 2100 often got nerd swiped with this! Hahahaha
Calpers admits ignoring private equity boom cost up to $18bn of gains
Hey, good to hear!
Edgerunners was released on Netflix. It’s really good and got people playing again.
One thing that I believe is under-documented in code is _business decisions_. The team arrives at a decision in a meeting or informal discussion, and it leads to some code that might be tough to understand without context. I'll usually add a comment briefly describing the decision, and initial and date it.

Initially I would just link to a wiki page in a comment, but occasionally these links break, so in my experience it's better to include the notes directly.
I loved Calca, paid and used it for years, but it seems to have stopped development and I switched OS... So I ended up falling back to Excel
Oh, drama then...
it's funny given that Cyberpunk 2077 was never promised as a single-player-only game. A not-so-insignificant portion of those purchases were motivated by the developers talking about multiplayer gameplay previous to launch, i'm glad that they got some gameplay out of it, but I would have felt pretty cheated.
Copilot has got me writing some side projects in Java again. I love the fast compilation speed, good enough type system, strong and seamless IDE support, and the abundance of libraries.

The new language versions with things like records take a lot of the tedium away, and Copilot gets rid of most that is left.
Single-player only game.

Which means Factorio and Civ6, among others, are right out of the discussion. Because those games support multiplayer, even if its relatively rare to have multiplayer games on those.
And this matches my experience.

I once joined a 10k without much research. It was on the weekend I wanted to run fast 10k (at the time that was 50 minutes for me) and I decided I might want to run it with other people.

The detail I missed was the race was organised by a local sports school to commemorate 50 years of the school and the participants were mostly alumni.

I quickly found myself at the end of the pack and even though finished around 50 minute I was still mostly surrounded by 40 and 50 year olds, everybody younger or my age was far faster than I was.
74xx parts are still made and used in new designs today...
I played 2hours and actually it is definitely so much for fans that I would say everyone should play at least the first one (secret of monkey island) first before playing this one (and then why not play the second one, too? :D).

So much I can say: This definitely feels like a Monkey Island game.
After the Log4J vulnerability, people started using the term "software supply chain".

I think this comic demonstrates the "problem": https://xkcd.com/2347/
Germans think that they are rich enough to save the world. The same thing was visible in 2015 during the refugee crisis. The problem this winter may be not enough gas, and the high gas bills for the gas that we do use, will hit next year.
I thought that there was some definite economization-to-death in the later years.

From like 1995 until their demise, was there any meaningful enhancement to NTSC tube TVs? There were minor enhancements in on-screen display, flatter glass fronts, and maybe the addition of S-video inputs, but there wasn't really much that could be leveraged as a "premium" set that could demand a higher margin except for maybe a Sony Trinitron. There was no meaningful "Replace your 720-line set with a 1080- or 2160-line one" sales pitch. The obvious way to compete is to go full Madman Muntz and cut every possible corner.

I recall in the early 2000s a fairly newish (at the time) RCA 27" tube release the magic smoke, and the discussion on sci.electronics.repair was very much "oh, that chassis design is all but guaranteed to fail catastropically when it does fail, may as well buy a new set". I don't doubt that group had several thousand man-years of repair experience, and they had very little positive to say for any set made after the Carter administration.
yeah I almost completely agree. I feel almost no need to do any side quests (of which some are impossibly difficult until you've passed the end game). The thing that really bugged me more than anything was I just thought the controls for the game weren't very tight. Driving felt a bit too floaty and the gun controls on PS5 were very lacking (compared to say GTA5). There is glimmers of greatness, I just think they bit off more than they could chew.
Writing action items during a meeting is super distracting (plus mechanical keyboards are insanely loud). A tool like this is definitely something I need!
That they won't rely on their own anecdotes/assumptions and actually research something? Sounds like what science is supposed to be right?

No personal attacks, just an assessment based on your lack of flexibility and empathy.

Which just happened again.

For someone who values free thinking and disagreement, you are having a lot of difficulty handling both at the moment.
>Apple and Google collude

Do you have an example of the C suites stamping their feet? I am in this space and I have seen no such foot stamping from anyone.
> This is absolutely ludicrous levels of risk to take on

You have it all wrong. Pissing off world leaders is taking on serious level of risk.
Yes. You can look at every earnings statement they've released for the last 10 years or so. There are also articles that made a stink about it a while ago. Here's one but there are plenty more like it: https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/11/20/apple-says-repair...

It’s easy in theory but difficult in practice not to be biased; like, I get why quotas happen.

It’s also wrong and undercuts someone’s actual talent and achievements.
Woah, thanks! This is an awesome feature I never would have found on my own
That's nice in principle, but definitely not how it operates in practice.
I did this too. Very glad I did so!
I'd be interested in helping scrape, but no experience. I'd presume every county is different so there's no simple training you can put folks through? Other tasks, like monitoring for things breaking?
What helps me more than anything with this is exposure to all sorts of concepts, ideas, ways of thinking about things, soft skills so you can talk to other people and get knowledge from them… even just reading HN comments/articles you get an absolute wealth of valuable knowledge especially about CS but also more than that, I know I sure have.

There’s no shortage of ways of to find content/material on a topic like CS for instance You have HN, Twitter, Reddit, a brigade of self hosted blogs and medium posts, Discord servers, YouTube, MITs free courses for more formal approach, etc etc

The idea is that when you understand something well enough, such as being able to train and run your own machine learning model, or anything else really, your brain can apply that knowledge to problems you may come across in the future even in seemingly unrelated fields and scenarios such as medical imaging.
Their VPS pricing? Yup, but the performance isnt great.

I think Hetzner is in general better. With similar pricing.
3rd party extended warranties don't work the same way as the repair program. With a 3rd party warranty, they don't have to fix it with an equal part and they can also swap out the machine for a refurbished one.
I wonder if it would be viable to have a model that generates other components like normal maps based on the generated texture too.
Context switching between Java, SQL, Javascript and a build scripting language isn't _that_ unusual an experience. Throw in a templating language there and you're at 5.
Pish. $49,500 or it’s clearly a cheap knockoff.
I'll never forget how nine months before my PhD was due, I had to tell my supervisor that I'd not written a single line that could be kept, and that I'd come to the point of feeling 24/7 like R Crumb's "little guy that lives inside my brain" really was inside my brain.

It's amusing how people feel bluffing in poker is the human element, but top poker AIs bluff more frequently than most humans

Good bluffs are when your range beats your opponent's range. Which gets back to your point, which is that you can do some pretty awful things to someone when your hand is outside the range they're putting you on
Twitter is also a national security threat for similar reasons. It's tempting to say that advertising supported internet services in general, devolve into them.

The tracking technology used to help target advertising is a perfect tool for use by repressive regimes and organizations of any size or scale.

Offline caching and sharing of content in a distributed fashion, where it isn't possible to get real-time location data, for example, is one possible route around this problem. Perhaps it's time to revisit the Memex concept, and make computers personal again.
The side quests each have bunch of interesting world building and great stories in them.

I don't understand your approach - you refuse to engage with the best parts of the world and then call it dead?!
Post like this are interesting because as an idea you would think that HN would the best target. Even if no one here provides a a single character of code they can provide insight Into pitfalls and experiences they’ve run into when doing this sort of thing. I hope the comment section are fortuitous in advice.
