I love Zachtronics games, especially Shenzhen I/O and Opus Magnum.

Updating to say that these are logic games. Opus is more visual but just as logistically challenging as Shenzhen. Shenzhen will teach logic from a more programming perspective. As a software developer used to modern development it’s been refreshing to think things thru without modern tools.

I use git-crypt with VCSH for dotfiles and Ansible for provisioning, using Ansible's built-in encryption for some data. It works pretty well, but to make things less annoying, I prompt for decrypt passwords up front and if typo it, you won't know until much later when bringing a machine up from scratch.

There is sadly not a lot of information out there for the early years of cinematics. Your best bet is old issues of "3dArtist" or "Cinefex". They float around on various torrent trackers. Blizzard has hardcovers for most of their franchises with a lot of history and there is also a behind the scenes & cinematics DVD Set for diablo. Square had behind the scenes books for all of the final fantasies prior to 13. There is also a TV documentary "Light&Magic" on Disney about ILM (LucasArts) which is primarily about their feature film vfx work but goes also into some details of "LucasArts" cinematics (mainly early Star Wars Games).

The wikipedia article on Indium: Production and availability [1] is ballpark okay and puts

> the supply potential of indium at a minimum of 1,300 t/yr from sulfidic zinc ores and 20 t/yr from sulfidic copper ores.

(ie potential max supply estimate as by product from mining other minerals)

This is almost double the current demand.
Other industry reports are more optimistic than the source cited here in wikipedia but as a ballpark it'll do.

The wikipedia article has a decent description of one facet of the rare earth problem, that these elements are always bound up with other elements and are only economically feasible as by products.

The other great issue is the flip side of the same issue; they are bound to other elements and must be chemically seperated after mechanical pre processing .. and this can be lengthy, expensive, and leave acres of toxic waste to deal with.

“Upskirt shots”, as the term is generally used, are very much not targeting subject matter in plain view in public spaces, as the linked article describes.

But what you probably want to look into, and which the ACLU piece does not address (since it is mainly addressing public art and government officials) is the “right of publicity” (which, however, only a slight majority of US states recognize and protect, with somewhat different parameters in each.)

That's not a "might."

If you are working for a company, you are working for that company.

If you are administering your SaaS tools when you're supposed to be working on a ticket, or in a meeting, this will be a problem. If you are using company resources (computer, network) while working on the SaaS, it will be a problem.

Putting it on shouldn't hurt you if you are able to assure the company that you are able to separate the two and your SaaS will not interrupt or disturb you during working hours.

Having an issue with the SaaS interrupt or disturb you during working hours could (regardless of if you put it on the resume or not) could have anything from a "that's ok", a stern talking to, a negative reference, being let go, to a talk with legal.

Personal projects (and side companies) and the company you are interning for should never overlap unless given explicit written permission by your manager - that includes time, resources, and equipment.

The terrible governance that we see in San Francisco (and to an extent in the rest of California) isn't so much due to leftists per se, but rather the inevitable result of single-party rule. Since the state Republican party has essentially committed political suicide, Democrats know that they will get elected no matter how badly their policies impact regular people. Decisions and political appointments are based on ideology rather than results.

Other states that have single-party Republican rule have just as severe governance failures and corruption.

Any rational person that doesn't know the backstory will ask you "why is a Mac, a personal computer, not considered to be a PC?"

Then you will have to disambiguate "PC as in personal computer" vs "PC as in IBM PC compatible". And then the expected rational response to your explanation would be "then why won't you call it IBM PC compatible then?" and the response to that is "because I am lazy and use language in an ambiguous way".

It still tickles me when people wonder why Starlink is anything someone would want.

The telcos were all given deals with assurances that they would bring rural America to something resembling what their urban counterparts have, but they've remained stagnant for some time now.

Whew this thread is rife with elitism. About git? To the folks sharing your difficulties with git, bravo.

To everyone who says they "don't get" how people could be confused or lost while using git, you are the reason why those folks are lost, and you're perpetuating the culture of elitism by playing dumb.

Git is hard as shit to understand unless you came from development before it existed, or you have had the luxury of trying other VCS professionally. Most people just know git, and it's confusing as hell if you have no reference.

Don't even get me started with how this has poisoned the industry on the whole: Proper VCS implementations with CI/CD are incredibly rare, even at places with world class engineering talent.

I personally mostly see the usual HN comments here of people presenting valuable work and commenters shooting it down either because they are unaware of where it comes from, it doesn’t perfectly conform to what they expect or it’s not to their standards considering its insane cost of free.

I contracted with one team that git rebased everything. It was awful and I hated it.

I think the fundamental issue is that - of all the things I want to be neat and well organized in a codebase, the commit history does not even rank. I just cant bring myself to care.
> If the web was being made form scratch today, it would probably start with a repurposed game engine.

I still hold that reinventing the underlying operating systems' text rendering and text input is almost always a bad idea. Some things this "game engine" would need to work with the underlying operating system to solve:

- Accessibility (screen readers, etc)

- OS-specific text kerning behaviour

- Ligatures (including for Arabic and Korean text)

- IME for Korean / Chinese / Japanese / etc.

- Right-to-left and left-to-right language support.

- Input events on every platform. There's about 20 keyboard shortcuts to interact with text on windows, macos and linux. They're different on every platform. iOS / Android are different again.

- Native scrolling

There's probably more. Its an obscene amount of work to reimplement this stuff correctly on top of a game engine-like API like Canvas. The browser already does almost all of this work and despite that its still a ridiculous hassle to implement web-native rich text editor components. (Though we may disagree on why).

As a developer, there are a lot of advantages to having your application behave in an identical way on every platform. But as a user, I don't actually want that. I want your application to fit in with the rest of my operating system. (Be it windows / macos / linux+GTK / iOS / Android).

Mind you, Raph Levien is smart and as I understand it, he disagrees with me on this. Here's a video of him talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVUTZlNCb8U

Nah. Its mostly in the article header points.

Many/most airlines preserved status, rolled over qualifying miles/trips, and were quite good with retaining certificates etc the past three years. I kept my delta diamond status even though 2020 changed my travel from 2-4 international trips per year to 0-1. Apply that across the entire population of status holders and the number of concurrent status holders will increase.

In addition airlines have moved a TON of revenue from pure business travel tickets to “premium” seats and “non ticket” revenue like small upgrades and cobranding cards. These again feed in to the numbers of travelers getting status and using amenities like lounges.
Containerization is easier said than done, especially with no hardware support. Ultimately you have to make compromises to keep it performant (remember this is on 386/68030 class hardware) and those compromises come back to bite you. Containerization also has a memory penalty, and memory was precious back in those days. Remember that early web browsers were heavy criticized for running poorly on less than 8MB of RAM.

If you don't have my consent then at the very least blur my features. I remember wearing Google Glass in Germany and I was looked at in fear. Since, they have enacted stricter privacy laws. We should look at it them as an example much like the world looks at the US for freedom related issues. One example in Germany is that suspects of a crime are not identified and the "perp walk" may be filmed and shown on the media but it is with blurred features. Freedom and privacy must be balanced.

I second the ideas around learning accounting, and also becoming comfortable working a spreadsheet.

Learning business strategy as a corporate executive is really the kind of skill best paralleled in certain forms of gaming - tabletop games with a lot of trade/barter mechanics, MMO guilds, and such: it's some combination of people knowledge, planning, negotiation, and internal controls and mechanism design.

What you're designing from the top of a large organization is a "machinery of people", and if you formulate all of the quantifiable stuff into a spreadsheet, it won't be a crystal ball, and it can bias you towards nonsensical "works in theory" decisions, but it will give you a sense of how to manage events proactively and leverage specific strengths instead of just reacting to crises. The spreadsheet's answers ultimately reflect the philosophy you bring to it, so a general study of philosophy(best done in a classroom dialogue) can pay off as well.

A last thing to check out would be Wardley mapping. This is a good brainstorming mechanism for getting a sense of the terrain and the dependencies in your industry.
I agree. The only reason contextual is frowned upon and thus gathering lower prices is because targeted is promoted as more effective. So contextual is viewer as the lesser option. And also hampered so it doesn't actually work.

Once contextual advertising once again becomes the best option because targeted ads are banned, it will be worth the full price again.

Also, I think it will in fact work better. There's no point showing cosmetics ads on a tech site to a guy like me just because I bought eau de toilette last week. Really no point because I buy one bottle of the same stuff every few years. Any contextual ads that that site would have shown would have more relevance to me. Real world example.

Also a layman but my understanding is the issue is 'percent of emissions' part of the fact. The emissions are methane, which are 'worse' than CO2 - so some statistics normalize for this and result in a high % of emissions. I think it's semantics and bad-faith actors use the wording that helps them the most, which muddies the waters.

been using chezmoi for the past 3 months across 4 machines. i like the template support, but i constantly feel like there's complexity hiding. im finding myself needing to relearn various bits of how it works after not touching it for a few weeks at a time.

by far, my favorite thing about chezmoi is that you're managing a separate set of files and syncing then to your homedir, making it reallllllly easy to switch tools or otherwise do something else.

its better than the home-rolled symlink solution i was using before it, and certainly better than some of these turn-your-home-dir-into-a-git-repo solutions.

but if im being honest, i hate every one of these tools in different ways. i dont have the answer, but i feel like im endlessly searching for something that feels like the right balance of simple and flexible.

> The holy grail of learning how to learn may be to tinker with our own learning-reward conditioning so that we literally become addicted to learning.

Bolded in the article and I strongly disagree. This is how you become a learning addict
[0], racking up successes that can be explained in LinkedIn headlines (first line of code to Google in 8 months, PhD) over things that are maybe more meaningful to you.

I can’t put a holy grail of learning into a few words. I’d say being able to quickly pick up skills to proficiency that are useful to yourself and others is big. Being able to become exceptionally great is important (I’m not as good at this one). Knowing what to learn, what to not learn and when to stop are all critical as well. Maybe my favorite is developing a knack for transference, so your experiences don’t weigh you down (interference) but always help you.

[0] That’s a tautology, but it’s true because tautologies are always true.
We can't have the same right now because these companies are so focused on making targeted ads work. Which is not because it works so well but because it's their #1 market benefit. Facebook wants to sell targeted ads because few players have as wide reaching insight as they have.

Once they have to stop they will have to actually put effort in making contextual advertising work. Imagine a local business sponsoring a related Facebook page. Or buying ads for declared interests.

It can work but the big parties don't want it to. Because they've invested billions in building their market advantage in targeted.
I often see posts that I know are going to be full of comments that will just irritate me, so hiding the post is the easiest way to not accidentally wander into a sea of comments that I’d rather not see.
If someone has a clean commit that is a district unit of functionally and passes all tests, why would that not have simply been committed as an independent change prior to continuing work? The only way a consistent unit of code would exist to revert is by stacking it on such a change.

I am not sure I have ever encountered a situation where targeting a single commit to revert would have actually worked(from a rebased merge). I would go as far as saying that git revert should be a nuclear option reserved for only the worst of situations(urgent PE hotfix?). If something is worth reverting and was missed by the engineer and the reviewers, it seems the like fix should also atomically contain the explaination with a test to prove the issue was fixed. Because of this mentality, I believe it has been several years since I have seen a 'revert' in the wild.

Maybe I am alone in the industry with my opinion. However, I have seen the same patterns unfold on many teams. ...A lot of concerns with switching to a dead simple git workflow that fade almost immediately after trying it.
Just my experience (backend batch jobs, applications, and rest services).
