Super cool. Taking a crack at rules for a game using this.

Sample game idea: CAKE DECORATION game - players have to try to decorate as many cakes as possible. Requires 10 cards.

One card is the 'design recipe' card and never leaves the base station. It shows an amount of ingredients, ex. "1 cup of buttercream, 3 shakes of sprinkles, 4 squirts of whipped cream".

Players start with either 3 blank cards or 3 random low-amount ingredient cards.

On a players turn, they select from three cards: each card is an ingredient, an amount, and a modifier. So cards could be "1 shake of sprinkles (2x)" "2 squirts of whipped cream (+1)" "1/4 cup of buttercream (+1/4)" (could make variations or add other kinds of things that might go on a cake)

The player draws a card, base station detects which card is missing, and the other two ingredient cards increase in amount based on the modifier value displayed on the card. ex. "1 shake of sprinkles with a 2x" will fully complete the recipe if not drawn for two turns (because 1 x2 x2 = 4 shakes, which is enough for the recipe)

With 4 cards in their hand, if the player can pay for the whole recipe, they win the round and get a point. On win, new recipe appears and all cards in the winning players hand and on the base station get rerolled to new low-amount ingredient cards. Score could be displayed on the margins of the recipe card.

If they cannot pay for the recipe, the player places a card back on the base station. And their turn is over. (Should ingredients be re-randomized when replaced on base station? Should that be a player decision whether to reroll it?)

First player to decorate N cakes wins the game.

I think something like this could make for a viable game with a low number of cards, but could be more fun with a greater number (17 ideally?) which would allow for 3 active recipe targets (+2), using the 4th slot for another ingredient and displaying recipe as a disconnected piece(s) (+1), and larger hand sizes (5 -> +4) to allow for more complex recipes

An interesting game design question is how random you want the cards to be? Fair random would probably be viable, but since the 'deck' can know and make decisions based on the state of cards not connected to the base station, you could deal unfairly if less randomness would make the game more interesting or fun.
I know this is a technical forum, but you are allowed to appreciate the subjective meanings an artist ascribes to technological output, as well as the sentiments it provoked.

Right. What can you learn to over come crappy infrastructure?

I think there is an easy way to prove this to users. Make your thing be a single page self contained html file which they save into the hard disk. Then they can trust the restricted permissions with which chrome runs such local files.

If you have a tech savvy audience they can also view your thing in an iframe with only sandbox="allow-scripts" to prove that it's not making network requests.

I wrote an html/js log viewer with those security models https://GitHub.com/ljw1004/seaoflogs - it handles up to 10kline log files decently, all locally.

There's zero microcode. You can go into the StrongARM period and beyond before you're hitting anything like microcode. It's anathema to the basis of RISC CPUs. IIRC, you'll only start finding it when there's a need to emulate earlier ISAs.
> Those limits are expected to jump to a baseline level of about $650,000 in most jurisdictions and to just under $1 million in high-cost markets.

> adding that some of his clients are unable to qualify for loans for modest-sized homes under the current limits.

Being unable to qualify for a loan on a $650,000-$970,800 limit makes me think you can't afford to live in that area, whatever "modest" size means.

-> The maximum size of home-mortgage loans eligible for backing by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will rise to $1,089,300 next year in high-cost markets, such as parts of California and New York, from $970,800 this year, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said Tuesday.

-> For most parts of the country, loan limits will rise to $726,200 from a 2022 maximum of $647,200, said FHFA, which oversees mortgage-finance giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. By law, loan limits are calculated annually using a formula that factors in average housing prices.

So, this isn't a large increase from year previous
Very well; the UK cabinet is now accountable for its policy choices like never before. (Of course the short-term result of that is that they're visibly a shambles, but that's the initial effect of any improvement in transparency).
Here we go again, HTML and CSS have failed at being a unified story, and until there's an HTML 6 or some redesign that takes this into account then we'll keep running into frameworks like this that make it easier to do things for most people
I’ve been behind CGNAT once. It was a miserable experience for this reason.

For x86 you have a lot less registers which makes it a bit of a wash. x32 is interesting because you get all the registers but keep the pointers small. Sadly it’s not well supported.

Working on fixing this!
The Emacs ecosystem has a larger contributor pool, and contributing is easier.

A bunch of factors off the top of my head:

* MELPA making contributing and reaching users easier.

* The growth of Emacs packages on GitHub.
* The ease of concurrent programming, e.g. emacs-aio.

* The learning curve being reduced with spacemacs and Doom.

* The continued development of Emacs upstream by its great contributors.

* The increase in upstream development, with emphasis on bug tracker hygiene. See Lars blog posts.

* LSP/Treesitter being developed, though this doesn't explain why Emacs seems to get more HN visibility than other editors.

If I put my Emacs hat on, perhaps the promise of Emacs is being fulfilled: an ever growing set of interopable, extensible, introspective functionality being useful to a wider set of active users.
Asking one question, which can be phrased as "what test would you propose to determine whether speech was responsible for violence?" is hardly sealioning.
I didn't know about the 3/400 series.

One nice thing about the migration to SPARC is I was able to personally buy a retired 3/75 from the local Sun field office as a teen. Unix and megapixel display for a fraction of what assembling that with a PC would've cost. :)
That reminds me the pitch for the first time I discovered css zen garden: "you can redesign your website without changing the HTML!"

I sort of liked it at first. I even added the opportunity for my users to modify the CSS to add new styles, and share these to other members of the community via a configuration page. It was a neat thing but not many people bothered and in the end it made everything more complicated (and I guess I was really scared of vulnerabilities the whole time, what can go wrong with letting your users set the stylesheet.)

Worse, I think this new approach broke the web as it was: an explosion of flash-layout or photoshop--or-fireworks-cut-layout websites. It used to be beautiful. Now the web is just a series of websites styled by CSS. It's sad.

phones (and their screen size + apple killing flash) really killed the beauty of the web IMO. Now everything's an app.
Not sure whether you've looked at average prices in most tech areas lately, they're getting pretty steep. You can always move an extra 30 minutes away from work to cut your costs but then you're spending time and money on a longer commute, even if you can "afford" that lower mortgage.
Props for saying this, but you didn't realize the "marginal business impact" bit until you were a Director..? Seems awfully convenient.
We’ve ignored the increase in nominal home values as part of inflation. Eventually you trip over limits like this one. Most major metros in the US see at least the 75th percentile of homes at above 1 million.

I think your project suits more simple static pages. The competitor is more Notion rather than blogs and static site generators.

Nice work all the same. I think what's really missing is a minimal copy of something like google sites.

I want to be able to create something like my website at http://illabundavillage.com.au but I want it to be faster, not tied to google, and a little easier to edit.

There's a spectrum of flashy sites to single page texts. Many projects should aim to be in various shades of the middle.
I think I was thinking of less, haha.
Sequoia's Leaked YouTube Investment Memo
Firefox added support for -webkit prefixes several years ago now... I think mostly to capture things written for mobile Safari but also Chrome I imagine.

I don't know if anybody really does other directions of that, though. There was probably no percentage in working with -moz prefixes for other browsers by the time this became an idea to do.
A direct comment that the US is committing genocide against trans people I would downvote, not for being political, but for being BS. At least one thing more is needed to be genocide - some level of being systematic.

Yes, trans people get beaten to death in numbers that are appallingly high. That's a tragedy and a disgrace on our society. Does it rise to the level of genocide? Blacks get shot in numbers that are appallingly high, too. Is that a genocide?

Preventing medical care? Are trans people being denied medical care for, say, cancer or heart disease? Or are they only being denied medical care for transitioning? Or are they only being denied medical care at public expense for transitioning?

If trans people are being denied medical care for regular medical issues, in large numbers, yes, I could call that genocide. If they're being denied care at public expense for transitioning, no, I probably would not call that genocide.

The problem with lowering the bar to calling things genocide in order to highlight a particular issue is that it lowers the bar for everybody else, too. And if everything's a genocide, then nothing is.

The problem with just hinting at things is it leaves the rest of us unclear on what, exactly, is being claimed. One of the things that most people on HN ought to agree on is that the details matter. If you're making vague claims, all we can do is talk in platitudes, which is unlikely to be effective.
Yeah that's true, it is different. Neat :). With Scala you would put immutable types in your list if you wanted to, but I get what you mean, it's not the same.

I agree that Rust is the better language because it gives you the safe tools by default.

Smart pointers are no panacea for memory safety in C++ though: even if you use them fastidiously, avoiding raw pointer access, iterator invalidation or OOB access will come for you. The minute you allocate and have to resize, you're exposed.

People seem a little confused about this. So, things can be both cheaper and worse. Things being cheaper does not mean they are better.

So has flying become relatively cheaper - yes.
Has it become worse - yes it has.

Also, it's not clear that deregulation made flying cheaper. It's quite possible that flying would have become cheaper anyway as all of the large upfront costs of setting up a flying network had been paid.

I would give only factual statements with no emotion. I would provide steps we took to avoid the layoffs and the teams we formed, including fellow employees, managers, leaders and financial analysts to think-tank our way out of the layoffs.

As CEO I would personally offer a reference to affected employees on LinkedIn and in email to make it clear to their prospective employers that they were excellent employees and that the termination of their employment was no fault of their own. I would require my C-Level direct reports to offer the same thing at the employees request. Prior to layoffs I would require the employees managers to write up good things about them and submit them to me. If they can not give me good things to say about the employee I would question their hiring practices and review the management level employment. Should I discover that managers were doing Hire-To-Fire practices, they would take the place of the FTE's that were to be let go.

I would then document the steps we are taking to reduce or mitigate the risk of future layoffs as to not give the perception that this would be an expected annual event.
>Scott Morrison making himself a secret minister of several portfolios

For anyone confused about this, like me, wikipedia has an overview. The TLDR is that in Australia apparently you can have more than one person holding a ministry (health, etc) and the incumbent prime minister did this without telling the public.

Can the translator use TortoiseGit? It's pretty straightforward.

I still have lose sometimes too much time syncing master with upstream. Perhaps you can make a small program that just force updates the local master and switch to it, so the translator can jump to a safe initial state whenever is necessary. Remember to put a nice icon in the executable. It's incredible how easier is for most people to just click a nice icon instead of conjuring some ancient scroll in the cli.

Some of them were advertisements as we know them now.

In particular website authoring tools would add these unprompted as self-advertisement.

That was part of the joke of "made with GNU emacs" or whatever, that you were manually adding the same advertisement the "Made with Microsoft Frontpage" users had foisted on them.
Just going to point out that there are very real cases where one may want a mortgage larger than they want at least temporarily.

For example, buying a home and selling another. If you want to minimize risk, easier to sell the old one, take a mortgage on the new one, and then clean things up once the dust settles.

At least for cities like Seattle, that’s been basically the only way to sell a home and buy a new one without assuming a ton of risk.

Yes tailwind let's you reach through and apply some CSS directly. Almost like its an abstraction that exposes, or leaks, that which it attemps to abstract. A "leaky abstraction" if you will.
I fought against this for a long time, but I have to agree. CSS right next to your HTML/Components makes it a lot easier to keep track of.

Maybe it would've been possible to build tooling around using CSS files that created the same benefits, but now we just don't have to any more.

You could also look into the successful quant trading shops, if you're alright with not sharing results outside the firm. The nice thing about them is success or failure of your work is apparent much more quickly than the timescale of science, and it's harder to spin than other businesses. So the data science that gets done is generally pretty technically legit.

Fortunately in my almost 20 years of ruby, dark magic does not survive a reasonable amount of sunlight. Most of the time someone (including me) has written impolite ruby, they know what they are doing and why (laziness 90% of the time) and respond appropriately to a gentle prod to be more polite.
Just like health care and tuition costs, government backed insurance and loans are the root cause for prices spiraling out of control.

"The mortgage finance market has leaned heavily on government support over the past few years. More than 90 percent of mortgages originated in 2011 were securitized by government entities using taxpayer funds to guarantee investors against default risk. This support cannot continue forever. The status quo perpetuates many of the policies that contributed to the housing bubble and consequently promotes an unstable mortgage market. In order to avoid another crisis, the government must exit mortgage finance and private capital must shoulder mortgage default risk. "

that's all a choice of the streamer. some streamers choose to have TTS (text to speech) but a lot don't. Twitch is bad about TTS in particular but it's far less common on the youtube side of streaming.

Doubly so the twitch chat is going to mirror the streamer. So if the streamer is being a goon and playing up the twitch culture, you'll get twitch chat. But you can also have a very different chat experience if you establish from the get go that chat is to behave a specific way.
A big problem is that it requires an entire ABI and operating system support to handle this case, when the alternative is... just use a custom heap in your own program. You're describing an insane level of engineering for something that mostly is hidden and can be handled just as effectively by the applications.

Like, if you're in the weird case where A) pointer chasing is killing your performance and blowing your cache and B) your working set fits in 4GB, you can just fix this yourself with your own custom allocator to handle that. You'll still be pointer chasing, mind you, just half as much (and there's the thing: you could very well be much better off reducing the chasing you're doing versus mitigating it this way.)

In reality superscalar OOO processors hide miss latency very effectively helping mitigate the problems of A, and B isn't always clear from the start. So here we are.

Don't get me wrong, I want more efficient programs, and centralizing some complexity like ABI is a good thing. But in practice x32 was a massive technological investment for something that mostly didn't matter, that people mostly didn't need, and whose benefits can be gotten much more easily and directly in a lot of cases.
i think so. a very popular infosec account just posted that they’re now getting more engagement on mastodon than twitter.

over the past week i’ve also noticed a number of journalists and media outlets are now testing the mastodon waters as well.

i think the media growth will be similar to twitter a few years ago—trial and error to figure out what does and doesn’t work.
Thanks!

Yeah, it's a weird in-between. I don't think a game publisher would take a risk on it, but neither would silicon valley VCs.

Kickstarter would be my bet too. I was going to put this project down for a little while and start a "real" startup though.....
Perhaps your friends interviewed potential customers (i.e buyers not just users) and arrived at marketing it as a dev tool for dev teams...

In my opinion - I'm not so sure if the product should be marketed to "dev teams" per se! To me it looks like a collaboration tool around product development... not just for developers.

I would think the primary buyer would be PMs (Product / Project Managers) who would then push for the tool-use onto the dev teams as a way to improve collaboration and close the feedback-loop across all stakeholders (design, marketing etc). Yes, for that to be a success it requires devs to love it and indeed make thier job easier, but I don't think they're the primary buyers. Developers, in general, are notoriously hard to sell to because they filter out marketing jargon!
