The freedom in a point&click is in the actions you perform. In a point&click there is no limit to your actions, as the actions are a combination of the verbs you have, the environment and the items you collect along the way. Which leaves endless possibilities. The restrictions are just in how crazy the narrative wants to get, but not in the interface.

Other genres limit you to run, jump, shoot and a few other core mechanics, that they than run on repeat. You might get bigger guns along the way, but you aren't going to steal a pot from a cook to use it as helmet while joining the circus as you would in a point&click. When other genres want the player character to perform actions outside the core mechanics they often have to fall back to non-interactive cutscenes. In a point&click in contrast it's all part of the core gameplay, cutscenes are reserved to non-player scenes.

Another thing to take into account here is the year, we are talking about early 90s here, back when most games were side scrollers that allowed you to just walk left and right. Point&click adventures were some of the first games with a movie-like presentation, you had real 3d scenes you could interact with, close ups, cutscenes, etc, not just abstract flat side-scrolling worlds. In times of GTAV, a point&click might not look all that impressive, but compared to the other stuff you had back then they were quite impressive.
This is spot on. Kaluza (https://www.kaluza.com/demand-response/) are working on this problem, by giving EV drivers reduced prices for EV charging as long as the Kaluza platform controls when you car is charged, with the Kaluza platform using price signals to decide when to stop/start charging.

The larger impact will come from V2G (Vehicle-to-grid) charging. This will require manufacturers to add this capability to vehicle but the savings for customers are significantly greater than just smart charging (see see https://www.kaluza.com/case-studies/case-study-kaluza-enable...).
Lets face it - early libraries probably sucked too. We will improve

I've been using Fly for 2 years now. Overall I'm very happy and I recommend it to everyone.

If you just want to run a container in multiple regions with anycast, Fly is really the best option out there IMHO. Nothing comes close.

There are some rough edges for certain use cases but they keep polishing the service and the DX keeps getting better.

Personally the only features I'm missing today are:

- PG backups/snapshots. AFAIK these are coming in the form of virtual disk snapshots.

- Scale apps from zero to say 100 VMs like Cloud Run does. There's some autoscaling right now and the machines API, but still needs more polish. Specially for certain use cases like concurrent CPU heavy tasks (video encoding, etc). AFAIK some form of this is also coming in the next months.
The funny thing is Rust adds a lot of complexity to solve the main problem it purports to solve: memory management. I spent the first 20 years of my career doing C/C++ development and we were able to "solve" that problem with far less complexity. Rust changed so much in the early days (I really hate the mantra of move fast and break things when it comes to programming languages) that I got tired of all the breaking changes and total disregard for backward compatibility. Which is cool if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm not. Maybe Rust has added more killer features since then warranting the complexity? I really don't know.

I'd be interested in hearing are there other reasons for learning Rust other than just memory management? What other problems is Rust solving?
I was going to say much the same. Vertical mount is a game changer.

Whilst this example is a bit on the extreme side:

It does have some nice properties, no GFX card sag, any water cooling leaks can't drop on expensive components, power supply is back and away too.

Most important point is the cables out the top are covered by a shield so you don't have the ugliness.
In fairness, the need for 128-bit addressable systems will be when 64 address bits is not enough. That will be long before people are using 2^128 bytes on one system. So doing the calculation with 2^65 bytes would be a more even handed estimate of the machine that would require this
That'd be an interesting exercise to figure out how big sample should be and how unlikely the moves would be. This is something for chess analysts I suppose.

I believe that there will never be decisive proof of Niemann cheating. But on the other hand chess is a game of strategy which seems to seep out of the playing board this time.
Let's say you have nodes that have 10 TiB of RAM in them. You then need 1.6M nodes (not CPUs, but actual boxes) to use up 64bits of address space. It seems like the motivation is to continue to enable Top500 machines to scale. This wouldn't be coming to a commercial cloud offering for a long time.

Some additional context around XD vs Figma:

"After seven years of investment, Adobe XD was bringing in just $15 million in annual recurring revenue on a standalone basis — a minuscule fraction of Figma's $400 million annual recurring revenue. (That, in turn, is a minuscule fraction of Adobe's overall annual revenue of $17 billion.)"[0]

>If you can’t explain you know nothing. Simple as that.

This is still a pretty good bar, but if I just repeat what the video said, it seems like I'm explaining it, and then I can give the impression I do know something. I shouldn't get credibility for just repeating a video.

The US has devolved into somewhat of a reputation-driven expertise market, and there are plenty of ways to gain reputation without the expertise. There's still plenty of real experts, but I don't blame them if they want to focus on their work instead of fighting the endless tide of easily produced misinformation.
Nope. Tax cuts as shown throughout history increase growth and inflation tends to be low during high growth since there is an rise in production and productivity.

I disagree that it is rude to point out something is an anecdote.

I think that's when they really started leaning into it again, but Gunpei Yokoi (Gameboy inventor) was a big proponent of the idea, which he called "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology". So it's been a part of Nintendos design process for a while before that.

> If your culture elevates individualism and freedom above social responsibility and harmony, then your institutions will be systemically corrupted by selfish individuals.

While I don't disagree with your general comment, I would point out that the words you are using can be interpreted multiple ways. For example:

"Individualism and freedom" does not have to mean shortsighted individualism and freedom. Any thinking person should realize that social cooperation and wealth creation through specialization and trade is in their individual, "selfish" interest. And that being the case, any thinking person should realize that "individualism and freedom" must include supporting and preserving social institutions that facilitate social cooperation and wealth creation through specialization and trade. That is what "Western culture" is supposed to be about, and the fact that many Western cultures don't do a good job at this doesn't mean "individualism and freedom" are bad; it means that many Western cultures have forgotten what "individualism and freedom" is actually supposed to mean.

Conversely, "social responsibility and harmony" does not have to mean preserving social institutions that facilitate social cooperation and wealth creation through specialization and trade. The Soviet Union's leaders and official media outlets like Pravda were constantly talking about "social responsibility and harmony", but what they meant by that was absolute obedience to the Party and its leaders, even as those leaders killed millions of their own people and sent millions more to gulags. Similar remarks could be made about the present government of China; yes, they claimed that they executed a former top minister for "corruption", but given their history, what that actually means is that this former top minister was purged for reasons which most likely had nothing at all to do with actual corruption in the sense we use the term.
There are people who suggest banning private schools so that the wealthy and powerful will be incentivized to improve public schooling. GP seems to apply the same logic to EV charging.
It would honestly be better for me if social media categorically ceased to exist. Before anyone responds with, "You could choose not to participate," what I mean is that if they ceased to exist it would increase the supply of the attention and time of others. When I'm competing in time and attention for others with the likes FB/IG/TT I'm simply at the loosing end. I don't have a team of PhDs whose goal it is to increase people's engagement with me - they do. If I have to compete at all, I'd much rather compete with other people - not against professionals.
Show HN: Another task list: minimalist and encrypted
I learned something when I worked at Google that would never have occurred to me. They hired a ton of people from the midwest- smart computer people who couldn't find good jobs in the midwest. They moved out to Sunnyvale and Cupertino and hated it. Many of them wanted to return to the midwest, but got accustomed to Google pay and didn't want to take a cut moving.

As a Bay Area aficionado, I couldn't quite get this, but when I saw how these folks lived in Cupertino and Sunnyvale (tiny, overpriced houses with ultra-competitive school districts) I could kind of understand the desire to return to an Ohio, or Illinois, or Indiana.
This requires extra cost for the consumers and will drive up battery demand. It will be cheaper for the consumer to use their car to help balance the grid, as long as they have the required range for when it's needed (with current smart charging solutions already providing this).
That's still Facebook's problem, no excuses. Facebook absolutely has the power and resources to lobby google and congress. Security teams at both companies will unequivocally agree that keylogging presents an extremely grave security risk that consumers are unlikely to understand the consequences of and therefore need to be protected from.

Imagine a hapless military professional/politician downloading one.

The problem is one of alignment. Facebook wants to monetize whatsapp and wants the whatsapp data. That's why there was a mass exodus to signal in the first place. Facebook was weakening the protections of the app.

Due to the alignment problem Facebook can't advertise whatsapp as the secure and private choice because they are actively working to make it less secure and private. That's why Brian Acton quit (leaving $$$$$$$ behind) in the first place.

It could have made a big difference but it was adoption that was the problem. Swapping an SSD from a HDD is very easy and straight forward for most people - SATA cables are also well designed and easy to understand. Its almost like a USB cable in an L shape.

Completely changing the format? That is a huge obstacle.

NVME SSD's also came along soon enough we got something that was much, much faster than SATA SSD's and eventually I think it just became clear it was diminishing returns. That being said I am still hoping for an Optane replacement.

I've never used Comcast's/Xfinity's own hardware. Always bought my own modem and router, which has generally worked out well, outside of when I'm (rarely) having quirky service issues and can't easily prove that it's not my hardware.

If you don't want to do that and keep their gateway, I'd expect you can run pi-hole anyway, and if you're not getting the behavior you want (e.g., the gateway seems to be intercepting dns or something), you can try DNS-over-HTTPS.
Why do people like to buy skins on Fortnite or Call of Duty? People like to own things to show status, taste or just express themselves.

If the question rather is, "Is owning an NFT the same as owning a physical item?". It's not exactly the same, but it's close enough to feel the same emotionally (you and only you can decide whether you want to transfer, sell or even destroy it). And it's strictly better than owning any other digital license because it's on a neutral platform with deterministic rules.

With respect to generative art in particular, it's a great fit because it allows a someone to own a unique instantiation of the algorithm. e.g. take a look at this collection: https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/take-wing you can create infinite variations on the same theme, but the artist has determined that they only want 250 pieces in total to exist. So when someone "buys" the art work for the first time, a completely unique piece of work is generated based on the random transaction hash. The algorithm still exists as a whole and anyone is free to view and enjoy it, but people still buy and trade the unique pieces because they enjoy it.

In fact, there's an upcoming project that really leans into the idea: https://twitter.com/tylerxhobbs/status/1571908670929133568?s... Anyone is free to create any number of outputs they like and share them. But only 999 NFTs will exist, some people people want to pay for the right to have their selection immortalized as one of the 999.

I don't understand the visceral hate (not from you, just in general). People who want to just look at it are free to do so, people who want to pay and own it do so, and the artists are paid directly (and get perpetual royalties). Who's losing out?

Anyway, my original comment was not even about NFTs, just wanted to bring attention to the fact that this is generative art, and other artists have similar posts about their work and how they use JS to replicate similar real world phenomena.

edit: I didn't realize you were the post author. Your work is amazing. I'm sure it will be appreciated by generative art collectors should you choose to publish it. Feel free to reach out to my username at gmail.com if you have any questions. I'm a serious gen art collector, and there's nothing I would love more than to introduce new folks to the space.
yeah I wonder how the car would respond to that at the outlet level.
!!! SPOILERS AHEAD !!!

>From the very first couple hours

I disagree. The plot thread you speak of isn't immediately apparent -- it takes hours to surface, and the likelihood of the island being the correct place to investigate is considered by Visual Calculus to be very low. We who have beaten it can opine about the ultimate conclusion being forgone, but the equally-important non-investigative plot threads took, at least in my case, enough time that I didn't really "notice" the ludic preventative of denying you a boat until endgame.

!!! SPOLIERS END !!!

>Personally, after I managed to get there, I realised the rest of the game was pointless

I find this personally astounding. By contrast, I found the non-investigative plot threads, few of which have any real measureable outcome on the game's conclusion, to be the real stars of the show. When you watch police procedurals, do you just fast forward to the last ten minutes? Isn't the statefulness of the investigating characters interesting?

No, as I mention both in this post and in the README. Pip will download binary distributions (wheels) that were compiled for the system it is running on. If my mirror is meant to serve a different version of Python installed on a different OS with a different libc (or other such differences), then it won't work. I could try to match the target environment on the mirroring side, say with Docker, but this is either cumbersome or still not possible if you have legacy environments from years before.

You may be visiting a completely different site that uses the same network, and get ads on the exact product you've spent minutes reading about.

This! I like Linux a lot, but whenever I try to build an ecosystem in it for more than few workflows I end up in deep time consuming tasks to figure out how to make things cohabit without having my services fight each other.

There's certainly a limit, but it makes me so sad that developers see the current state of orchestration and say “welp, it's a complex problem, guess this is as good as it gets” (not you specifically, but it's a common sentiment on HN.)

Sure, there will always be use cases that require getting down to a lower level, but there's definitely space for reducing complexity for common use cases.

I don't think a carbon filter is what you want for wildfire smoke. A carbon filter will remove some chemicals in the air, but for particulates, which is mostly what smoke is, you need a particle filter, for example a HEPA filter. It doesn't need to be HEPA though -- a furnace filter will remove a lot of the particulates.
This is a fair point, probably more so if applied to our own existing tech landscape, which is weighted in favor of innovation and proliferation. But in other fields (i.e. electrical engineering) a similar division of responsibility has been in use for decades and has not proven totally unmanageable.
