I love ripping on my friends who play it, but it's graphically impressive and could definitely tax a graphics card. It's hard to separate the idea of the game from the fact that those friends have spent thousands on in-game stuff and the gameplay doesn't look very compelling to me, beyond the graphics.

Well yeah. That's because it's basically an interactive book. "Very different type of game" is putting it pretty mildly!

Thanks for the praise, I know it's not a super huge scale project but it was a good challenge to develop. As far as speed goes, I'm not exactly sure. I know that Twilio's toll free numbers send about 5 SMS messages a second, so once many users use the app at once it would slow down significantly. One thing I'm working on is decentralizing the app so that a Server Android app could be run on a phone that has an internet connection, using that phone's phone number as a way to send pages. About speed, I just ran a test and checked google.com's file size (it's 112 bytes) and timed the page request, upon the first text arriving it only took 4.5 seconds to load. That's a staggering 40kbps! Pretty impressive as a best case scenario, but a bunch of factors will probably make the average a bit lower.

>According to my acquaintance it was Apple.

LOL, that's far from insider info. Steve Jobs publicly said several times that he was going to kill Flash. And he did.

And the reason for that wasn't "Flash is an insecure platform". Flash was in the way of a thing called the "App Store" which, fast forward to 2022, has made Apple somewhere around a trillion (with a t) dollars.

We've put together an online corpus of Linear Elamite: https://center-for-decipherment.ch/tool/#elam

The Linear Elamite script has already seen claims of decipherment. But most of it was just circular conjectures. Due to the small corpus, progress is slow and claims rest on little evidence. Desset did contribute a lot to what little is accepted today. Still evaluating the new publication of Desset et al. If it turns out to be solid, we'll include the new sound values they propose.
This is so interesting in many ways. One there may be no cheating in IRL games so there's a new up challenger for the crown.

A request to the community - I am particularly interested in the Apple M1 Ultra. Apple made a pretty big fuss about the transparency of their die-to-die interconnect in the M1 Ultra. So, it would be very interesting to see what happens with it - both on Mac OS and (say, Asahi) Linux.

I had fun writing a tree-sitter grammar[1] for jq, mostly based on the gojq parser. I realized it was probably in pretty good shape when a snippet that I thought was valid had a syntax error, which tree-sitter was happy to confirm. jq is a lot of fun to write and think with, and the stdlib is good but quirky. It would really benefit from some more libraries, so it's great to see tools to facilitate writing in it!

Out of curiosity, were you previously introduced to the Witcher in some previous form (games, books, etc)?

I personally found the opening of Witcher 3 so utterly boring I gave up playing, and in general folks seem to agree that a) it's pretty damn slow to start, and b) coming into the story having already experienced the franchise makes it a lot easier to get through those first 5-10 hours.
Well, Myst is like 100 times more difficult than something lighthearted like Monkey Island. Those two games are almost different genres and not really comparable I would say.
This goes beyond microservices. I've done a fair share of optimization in our own code to introduce batch-oriented calls rather than singular. Even though your service is on the same LAN as the DB server, fetching thousands of rows one select at a time is very slow compared to a single, or a few, selects.

In one case, the application was running on a laptop over WiFi, which increased the network latency by 10x. Suddenly a 30 sec job turned into a 5 minute job.

Since one can easily implement a singular version using a batch size of 1, it's a drop-in replacement in most cases.

Also, since one can easily implement a batch-style API using a singular version, you can write the API batch-oriented but implement it using the singular version if that's easier. This allows you to easily swap out the implementation if needed at a later date.
I wish there were more apps like this which let you just type text and make/do things. Just make everything a sort of real-time coding. It's often much faster to do stuff with text and keyboard than any fancy GUI.

Other examples: sequencediagram.net, SwiftUI and React to some extent, vim directory managers (e.g. some let you rename files just by editing text and delete them just by deleting lines)

The only issue is, I've worked on building these, and it's a lot harder than it looks. You can either do immediate mode, which requires fast parsing and rendering and supporting all sorts of illegal values; or you can try to do retained mode, but there are insane #s of edge cases and the effort to compute diff usually makes it slower anyways. Furthermore if you want a really fancy text view, you need to build it yourself, which is a huge project on its own.
They did. They hosted the files that people downloaded when they purchased the ebook or podcast and they created the mechanism by which people can find it, rate it, and pay for it.

In fairness I think Bill Simmons, Joe Rogan, Marc Maron and Adam Carolla have had their praise for moving podcasts along. Same with This American Life.

Serial was different, though in that it was a multi episode look at something. This American life had segments and still had to be designed with the radio listener in mind - who was probably only in the car for 30 min. I don't think Serial is that uniquely good - but it was different. We just are kinda dumb for having all of "podcasts" under one term instead of a bunch of genre terms.

I don't know what happens on other planes of existence, but here on earth, humans think with a brain made of flesh. We want that fleshy brain to find and use good facts to make good decisions. We live in an information age. It feels like we have access to good information and we can use that information to do good things. But we're stuck with humans with brains made of flesh.

Humans think in narratives. Narratives can have facts and opinions. They can come from people we trust or people we hate. When someone else has a narrative that you find disgusting, just remember they have a brain made of meat.

Not quite. Almost all NES emulators just emulate the inputs and outputs of the chips involved, they don't actually model the chip layout exactly. That's a limitation of emulating hardware in software for the most part. Without perfectly implementing the chips involved with all their associated timing and clocks there's no guarantee that some behavior might be slightly different.

When emulating software in software, it's much easier to confirm that the exact same operations are done, and you can in some cases fully verify the solution.

Here's a writeup in Jewish Journal at the time.[1] Wikipedia for background.[2]

Madoff is important in relation to crypto scams for a number of reasons. He showed how to run a successful Ponzi - pay good, but not unreasonable returns, and be very reliable about servicing withdrawal requests. That kept the scam going for 17 years. Few Ponzis last that long. Most of the crypto Ponzis can't manage either of those goals, but the "staking" crowd is trying. "Staking" is really just a High Yield Investment Program.[2]
(There's real staking with proof of stake Etherium, where you're guaranteed by smart contracts to get back the ETH you put in, although it might be worth less when you get it out. But most of what's called "staking" is just a loan.)

The overall market collapse in 2008 finally caused a collapse of Madoff's scheme. This, too, is typical of crypto schemes. They can't survive a downturn. As long as "line goes up", it's not clear what's a Ponzi. People who point out that the numbers don't work are derided for spreading "FUD". When line goes down, the whole thing collapses. Which is what happened to Terra. The relationship between TerraUSD and LUNA (now LUNC) didn't help, either. The stablecoin maintenance system minted unlimited amounts of LUNC trying to prop up TerraUSD.
The end result was LUNC dropping from $117 to $0.0003051, with a total supply of 6,904,017,889,662 LUNC. The $1 stablecoin dropped to $0.03497. (Forum comment: "Don't worry,don't be afraid. The whole market has collapsed. Buy & Hold. Luna Classic pump will start soon." This is typical of mass-market Ponzi schemes - even after being fleeced, many sheep retain hope. There's less of that at the high end, where investors usually kick themselves for being suckered, then lawyer up.)

Key takeaway: little of what happens in crypto is new. Most of the schemes go back to at least the 18th century. Most crypto enthusiasts don't know enough financial history to get this.

Thanks! Work I did was with Neo4j, which a reasonably technical person can learn in a few days using their movie-db tutorials, where once you have a clear idea of what the categories are in your data and what is a top level "thing" vs. what an attribute of a thing is, you can get correlations. (persons, orgs, parties, IP addrs, and maybe events are the things, where addresses, dates, operating systems, contact info, are attributes. Relationships are things like "comprises", "owns", "is-located", "employs", "pays/funds", "is-member-of" etc. you need to start thinking in relationships) What annoys me about other graphdb's is they want to load your head with a complete graph theoretic framework before you can be useful, where cypher/neo works more like a graph based spreadsheet you can use to think in.

I have used it in different levels of govt to map managers to financial line items, to applications, corporate entities, projects, contract counterparties, platforms, techs, machines, ip addrs, vulnerabilities, etc. Developing a clear and addressable ontology of huge organizations with tens of thousands of people and devices is probably my one of my more useful skills. The main use case for graphs to me is patchy data, where you have a pile of incomplete metadata in dispirate spreadsheets and you need to find coherent paths through all of it.

I won't be in touch because I know what those people are capable of, but if graphs haven't accelerated your work already, you have some really epic times ahead!

The arguments on Android are sometimes even simpler to make (which I appreciate might not be intuitive at all), as there is a space where there SHOULD be competition and clearly CAN BE competition and yet there are arguments being made that Google is going out of their way to stifle this competition regardless, by such techniques as limiting the functionality of third-party markets (a big one was preventing them from supporting automatic upgrades), or their included anti-virus software flagging alternative markets (which reminds me that I haven't caught up on the Epic lawsuit against Google recently, and really really should).

This is incorrect. I think you defined round-trip as something else, but some character set A providing a round-trip compatibility with other set B means that B can be converted to A and back to B without a loss. And it is one of Unicode's explicit goals to provide a round-trip compatibility with major encodings including Japanese ones.

Han unification only means that when you convert Japanese encodings (B) to Unicode (A), it is not distinguishable from non-Japanese encodings converted to Unicode. This means that the Unicode text doesn't always follow domestic conventions without out-of-band signaling or IVD or so. But if you know that the text was converted from a particular encoding, you can perfectly recover the original text encoded in that encoding.
