There are a lot of board games in the $20 to $30 price point (and even many under that).

Going by Amazon prices, Azul, Splendor. Deep Sea Adventures is a press your luck game. Scout (also from Oink) is a... rummy with interesting hand management.

Red Seven is one that got a fair bit of play at the office table (Asmadi games).

Chatty Party if you want a cross between Excel and Cards against Humanity.

Ticket to Ride is an excellent train connection game.

Racoon Tycoon hasn't hit the table yet, but it looks interesting.

New York Slice gamifies "one divides, the other decides" and is something that allows for younger players.

Forbidden Island is an accessible cooperative game.

On the topic of cooperative games, The Crew takes tick thing games in a cooperative direction.

Fox in the Forest is an excellent two player trick taking game.

I admit to a bad case of FOMO with bard games. In the 90s and early 00s, I played board games in the MtG place in the San Antonio shopping mall in Palo Alto... and there were so many great games that I had played that were out then. I realizes there's a sampling bias because those were the games that people brought that were enjoyed... so now I have a low threshold for impulse buys on board games.
I still catch me sometimes thinking about the sun workstation I used in the 90s. My favorite was probably still a Silicon Graphics SGI 02 even the color schemes were matching :)

Do any of them do this? On my iPad right now the MDN example (1) isn’t animating, and last time I checked Chrome didn’t either.

One of my favorite tricks is to combine functions that get called recursively (ideally four-five calls before you get back to the first one in the circle) with objects that are gradually unpacked such that their identically named member functions do subtly different things.
Indeed. A lot of bad teachers are ready to blame anything but themselves for their kids not paying attention in their classes.

Too many schools just end up with this mindset that the kids HAVE to listen in class, and in order for them to, we just have to somehow force them by removing ANY alternative thing they could be doing, that way they will have no choice.

And those same people wonder why the kids say school feels like prison.
When you are moving, you don't have to stay bang in the center of bay area. You can stay in Dublin or Morgan Hill while you look for a year long lease in the bay. Also, I moved 10 years ago. 20K to move is an absurd number that the poster pulled out of his ass, along with "living in dozens of states".

Btw, I did manage to find a 180$ per night deal in the bay area at Hyatt house, complete with a kitchenette and utensils recently for a friend.
This makes you think that Paul would be interested in fighting for a world where people don't waste most of their short lives in bullshit corporate jobs because the market demands it, and instead can focus on important things like their families.
Sun-3's had an empty socket for DES chips (AmZ8068 Data Ciphering Processor (DCP) from AMD) that were never widely used outside of NSA, for export control reasons.

Ironically enough, John Gilmore build the EFF "Deep Crack" DES cracker in Sun 4/470 chassis. I coined the name as homage to Deep Blue and Deep Thought, and to signify that there was a deep crack in the US export control policies, which the project was meant to point out.

Synopsis: man page for des(1) contains humorous but inflamatory
text in RESTRICTIONS.
Description: The man page for des(1) contains the following text
in section RESTRICTIONS

>Software encryption is disabled for programs shipped outside
of the U.S. The program will still be able to encrypt files
if one can obtain an encryption chip, legally or otherwise.

>While this is intended to be funny, the concern is that the State or
Defence departments may interpret this as an endorsement (or
encouragement) by Sun for users to illegally "obtain an
encryption chip". [...]

>"The hardware of Sun 3 and 4 workstations supports a data
encryption chip (DES), but the federal government pressured
Sun to eliminate the DES chips from their products. For this
reason the DES chip's IC socket is empty in these workstations." [...]

>Now being curious, I went to the Sun 2 Multibus Rev R ROM that Matt Fredette has posted on his Sun-2/120 emulator page

>I doubt the line "Love your country, but never trust its government." is intended to be spit out on the console. It appears someone at Sun added a subliminal protest against the government to the Sun-2 BootROM code...!

The actual story behind the string "Love your country, but never trust its government." in the Sun boot ROMs is that John Gilmore (who wrote the original Sun boot ROMs -- the first ones long before Mitch Bradley's FORTH Open Boot ROMs aka OpenFirmware) put that in there as an easter egg, such that if you typed it at the boot loader prompt, it would echo it back to you instead of printing an error message. That was done so that there was a way to prove if a competitor had copied Sun's boot ROMs, and it was actually used in court to win a copyright infringement case.

Mastodon offers a lot of great features but at a high computational cost. I settled for GoToSocial for my personal instance, and although it is still in alpha, everything I need is there and it is stable and barely uses any resources. The setup and maintenance/upgrades is simple since there is very few moving parts, which makes it perfect to host on my home server.

I tried, and gave up, setting up Mastodon several times in the past as I got choice paralysis from all the different ways to set it up. That was a few years ago, but from what I hear, it is still a somewhat daunting task.
Interesting! I’m also a long time high volume cyclist, and I see a clear effect of slower rides in winter. I’m talking about around specific routes and training sessions where the point is to go as fast as possible. With the same power I seem to go more slowly when it’s cold.

Obviously there could be many reasons for this: less aerodynamic clothing, more cautious cornering etc etc, but the effect is very noticeable to me.
Yeah I especially love all the TUIs that replace Blender.
I asked my friend in what context a 90% success rate is considered “good enough”.

Pickup lines.
Thank you!

This is probably the first reply I've seen that doesn't shy away from saying "yes, we're inefficient", and looking at the solutions with a critical eye.
Moving a true household worth of stuff, good quality furniture, then paying people a living wage who won't treat your stuff like ikea garbage, yeah it's very expensive. My wife got a relocation package that paid for the movers and packing, car shipping, plus $20k cash on top for incidentals, and we burnt through every dollar. I have no idea what the company paid Allied to pack and move all our stuff but it probably wasn't cheap. $40k seems very realistic.

In comparison I moved Dallas to SF as a single guy in a 26' uhaul truck and I think my costs all-in were $5000 for truck/gas/incidentals plus another $5000 for first and last months rent, utility deposits and all the random stuff that comes with relocation. So $10k to move all-in as a single guy.
...but it doesn't need to be. There are people working on real, scientific, anti-aging technology, like the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation, SENS Foundation (I prefer LEVF though), and the many individuals involved, but especially Aubrey de Grey.

One of the reasons I got into software development was to try to make enough money to contribute to these causes, or to work on the problems directly in bioinformatics. Unfortunately I haven't reached the point where I would make much of a difference, but who knows what will happen in the next 10-20 years.
honestly so confusing
It still is totally unreliable, and avoids documented best practices.

3.2.1 The Improved Benchmarking Method
Compared to 10-15 years ago, securing a deployment of a web service is trivial today. Let's Encrypt gets you TLS certificates for free. Wireguard gives you an out-of-the-box secure VPN solution so you can access services outside of your home network (setup is even easier now that it's part of the kernel). Wire everything together with Nginx/Caddy/Traefik and you're off to the races.
Cloudflare R2 is at least cheaper.
> who wasn't a major contributor or decision maker for it.

Per definition an executive is a major contributor and decision maker.
Forgive the anthropomorphising, but I find it very similar to how I'd handle someone forcing me to explain two contradictory claims coherently.
If you want to "automate" set theory, you pretty much have to build a type theory on top of it. This is what Mizar does (one of the oldest projects in formalized math, but still going strong). It also starts by assuming extremely strong set-theoretic axioms, to make this more convenient.

The type theoretic approach is ultimately more elegant; the basic foundation is a bit more complex than material set theory, but the complexity is of a kind that's used basically everywhere in a practical formalization. It avoids the pattern of building complicated stuff on top of an overly simple axiomatic basis.
Life is short in many ways, but it’s also the longest thing you will ever do. There’s plenty of time if you prioritize and focus.

No you won’t be able to do everything. But you have enough time to do the things you care about.

And the things that run out? Enjoy them! Running out is what makes them special.
> Well, this banning thing is true for only parts of the Protestant Christian world

Unsurprisingly, the same part where the carol in question was invented.
Inherited one project where the previous developer enjoyed writing if cases like this

if (article > 0)

confusing early on becuase you would start thinking this is a beginning of arithmetic comparison of numbers when it actually was just a check if the article existed or not.
Nope it wouldn’t be. I run my single user instance on DO. I haven’t looked at the exact costs but they are higher.

First of all, a 5USD/mo instance cannot run mastodon. Mastodon needs a lot of resources from the get go, even with one user.

Second, you’ll want to enable backups, which is 20 percent of instance cost as extra.

Third, you will want more disk space than is available on a base instance. Mastodon is huge and disk space is taken up pretty quickly. With AWS you can set up autoscaling drives, DO doesn’t. So, more costs…

Finally, if you want to use DO Spaces, that is a flat 5USD/mo. AWS S3 is far cheaper for what would be used in this instance, on the order of free tier or couple of cents. The OP did the set up incorrectly which is why their costs are far higher. I actually did set up AWS S3 on my DO instance and the costs are extremely low.

So why am I using DO? I have credits on it, that’s all. I’ll move to AWS and probably set up Takahe at some point: https://docs.jointakahe.org/
> Over Ethereum there are completely automated exchanges (think Nasdaq), lending, escrow, stablecoins, zero-knowledge proof verifiers, games, payments...

All of those "oh my god complex things" on Ethereum are a variation of "look up a single number in one account, look up a second number in the other account, add or subtract two numbers".

Even doing a KYC + proper credit check on a client will cripple Ethereum.

> that allow to externalize most of the heavy computation outside the blockchain and delegate to the blockchain the verification of a proof.

So, batching. But with an extremely complex processing that you trust devs implemented correctly.

> Ethereum settles nowadays 200 bitcoin equivalent transactions per second.

No one cares about "equivalent transactions" to be honest. People care about actual things being handled by actual transactions they engage in.
Sad but true that progressive "people deserve to live decently in my city" ideas are at odds with the "I'm fine so stop talking about how there's a problem".

I'm working on an entire comedy set about how many of my peers care more about dissecting the wording of shit rather than actually furthering a cause. Those idiots aren't going to affect my ideology, though I am sometimes cancelled for the hilarious reasons (i.e. mentioning Joe Rogan).

Lastly, I got ran out of a bar for saying I think people deserve health care. Labeled a communist with no job and that I'm not welcome there. Lol!

I’m not convinced the biggest problem facing higher education today is the decline of the frat house.
I like California a lot but with the cost of housing what it is I know I’ll probably never put down roots. We can talk policy this and that until our heads are spinning but at the end of the day I need to live my life.

I have my eye on Chicago. There’s always something going on, it’s very multicultural, and housing is extremely affordable.

Very eloquently said. This drive feels more absent than ever. There’s like this aroma of helplessness today within innovation as a general approach to problem solving. Perhaps it’s just a sign of my times and I’ve reached to “get off my lawn” jaded stage.

I am trying to realign my pursuits and sense of fulfillment by focusing on what “feels right” rather than be manipulated by monetary concerns. I certainly don’t want or need to strive for tons of money; the only way I’ve justified the path is by somehow having faith that whatever I naturally involve myself with will find it’s way in supporting itself to conclusion.

I’ve always wondered how “the greats” supported themselves. You only hear about their intellectual pursuits but not their support system.

I’m not sure who it was but in the area of thermodynamics Faraday or someone was basically supporting his entire family on a farm and just working on the profundity of heat in his spare hours.

> Nothing against the talented devs working at Klarna, but if they have trouble handling the load, they can always add a couple TB of memory or a couple hundred CPU cores.

Ouch. Burn :)

A lot of fat has been trimmed from Kred and it's now rammed into an AWS instance, but the pain is real :)

> Ethereum needs to solve 100k tps while continuing to run on a Raspberry Pie on a home internet connection.

To run a node you need a 2TB disc, at least 16 GB of RAM and a quad-core CPU. So, not on Raspberry Pi yet (and probably not ever).
Costs of $1.70 per day which is mostly $30 for the domain name counts as “absurd”?
It’s not silly. For the people who have no food allergies the label is meaningless, and for those who are allergic they have to treat it as if the allergen is definitely there. Trace contamination doesn’t tell you anything about the dose.
Oh, you mean like the oh-so-great Laravel framework, which is structured like this exclusively?
SBF said in a recorded interview from a few years ago that the way he became incolved with EA as that someone from EA contacted him when they were holding an event at a university in his area. He suggested they probably got his contact details form a web forum on utilitarianism.
I also recommend this. It can really help when trying to understand why a query may be slow even though you’re using indices.

For example, one index was on a Boolean field and the query took several seconds. Most rows were “true” and very rarely did we query for false, and when we did query for false, latency was acceptable. If you know a btree is being used under the hood, you can imagine what the tree looks like and that it is very lopsided. From there, as soon as you see the EXPLAIN, you know how to fix it: drop the index.
Your view of what matters is really narrow. Not everything has to have an impact in the style or singular magnitude how Aristotle, Charlemange or Muhammad did. You could edit a wiki article that inspires someone to contribute to a software that has a button that someone will push and change things. Human life has billions of nuances like this every minute. And even if most of that is ericadated by a catastrophe, some percent of this experience might continue, containing an essence of it all. We must drive life forward with such beliefs, thinking not just of ourselves.
In bigger companies lot of support jobs start to appear. By support I mean job to support another persons job. Platform teams for example. PMO
functions. Recruiters. In smaller companies non-experts will wing these as 10% person time roles, or they outsource to other services.

Perhaphs, the left has realized that religion controls minds, and since christianity belongs to the right, the left has tried to invent a competing religion. The result is a frankestein made of religious elements stitched together.
The one I never forget is how PG describes his mother's death.

"I lived as if she'd always be there. And in her typical quiet way she encouraged that illusion. But an illusion it was."

I read this the last time it was posted and this scared the living hell out of me. It has reminded me to never take people, especially my family, for granted. I used to be much more reluctant to go home, but as I've grown older I now appreciate the finiteness of life.
I would like to point out: As someone who is a newbie coder, I had a ton of fun learning how your code works with the help of ChatGPT. Even learning about unfamiliar topics like serverless apps, nlp transformers, or yaml vs json lol
That’s why he said “religious constructs” and not “religions”. I believe religious systems are useful, but I agree with the parent that concepts like the afterlife are absurd concepts used to alleviate existential dread. Maybe this utility means it isn’t absurd, but I would say that many religions don’t have the concept of an afterlife, so other less-absurd concepts may provide the same functionality without the same cognitive distortions.
The short answer is no, it’s not legal. The longer answer is that the Internet Archive’s goal is preservation of content and ensuring that it can be accessed and used as time goes by.

Notice there’s no Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong Jr. there — I’m sure they didn’t forget them, but Nintendo is very aggressive when it comes to protecting their copyrights.

Archive.org does respond to DMCA requests, but they definitely don’t look hard for re-uploads of content that’s been taken down in the past.

Honestly I think this is a good thing, because without internet archives and the mass preservation of data they perform we’d collectively lose a whole lot of knowledge gained over the years.

I really lament the fact that so much of the modern internet is behind authentication or other means to prevent archiving.
Well I suck at text. Shoulda posted it as a tiktok.

Interesting. I'm mostly on Linode and don't run a Mastodon instance. I did the back of the envelope calculations based on numbers from google but I guess you would know better.

In Linode you can get additional block storage for a relatively low cost: https://www.linode.com/pricing/#block-storage
So a 5 or 10USD instance should be enough.

I will say that S3 is very expensive not because of the upfront cost. It's because of traffic. Also cloudflare is more affordable than AWS.
But there is zero reason to believe that any of those companies will continue giving the same returns. It's entirely feasible that they will plateau, or even begin to fall, whereas the rest of the market will continue to climb. There are plenty of historical examples of "solid" investments that evaporated over time, so it's not like this is unprecedented.
