I'm making a desktop game to be sold on itch.io for 3$ (currently making 0$ because not out yet and it's difficult to make money with games anyway). I'm using JavaScript
with the Kaboom.js library and Tauri as the desktop wrapper.

My game is called HARVEST MOVE and it's a grid based movement game where you have to harvest as many plants as possible without getting killed by various animals.

It's a puzzle game disguised as an arcade game.

The game is still in development but I've started posting gifs, screenshots and some art of the game already on Twitter.

44m and my primary for of exercise these days is cycling. I clocked aust about 4,300 miles riding last year (down from 5,000 the year before). I ride 3-5 days a week normally. Some of these are 45 minute indoor rides on a trainer in the winter, but most of them are 1 hr to 5 hr rides after work or on the weekends. It helped to join a club that has regularly scheduled rides. I do a tuesday gravel ride and a thursday road ride with the club every week during the summer. They take up most of the evening (530-730 roughly), but I feel great when I'm on this schedule.

I liked the original cover because it is the only one with a truly alien landscape. Once the movies started being discussed, Dune became and an earth desert with earth-like sandstone rocks. Look at the rocks in the original cover. They were different enough to clearly not be from earth geology.
after a lifetime of web development [started in 1996], you should ask yourself "can i build a full product". if the answer is yes, don't sign contracts and start your product. employers don't pay what you're worth. you can save them 250k in a 2 week period and they won't know you did it and definitely won't pay you like you did. they might even toss you to the side thinking "oh my nephew makes websites". you might have just increased your client's conversion rates by 3% because of an issue on the checkout page and when you call to report on it they might say "oh wow that must be the advertisement i bought without telling you".

in most cases, its too technical for them to understand. i recommend avoiding employers if you're money motivated.
I have worked on deployable structures of scale using some of the principles of origami. The main obstacle to making successful structures that fold or deploy is that precision is very important, because once you have large joints in different planes things like deflection and fabrication tolerances become critical especially if you want to do more than a single unfold or deployment. A great book by Lang is "Twists Tilings and Tesselations" (2018) that goes over the mathematics of origami and folds. The Hoberman sphere works fine as a small toy, but imagine it built up to a sphere of size not in zero gravity and having to be open and closed several times. Engineering challenges that could lead to some pretty nifty deployable buildings on the Moon, Mars, and elsewhere.

Don't talk to HR, talk to the hiring manager.
Disclaimer: This project isn't currently publicly available.

I was using Simple as my primary bank, and their Goals feature made it possible to do envelope-style budgeting really conveniently. Unfortunately the bank that backed them, BBVA, sold to PNC. This lead to my Simple being shut down, and my account was converted first to a BBVA account and then to a PNC account.

When I lost access to the Simple app I first built myself a spreadsheet, and then started work on a webapp called Complex to replicate their functionality. Currently you have to enter all transactions manually, but I eventually plan to integrate with Plaid so I can automatically pull in transaction data. Without automatic transaction imports, I'd say Complex currently falls about halfway between the original Simple app and a spreadsheet in terms of convenience/ease-of-use.

I don't have any kind of business model for this, but if I eventually make it public I'll probably charge a monthly fee to allow automatic transaction imports so I can cover Plaid's fees. There's not much server load required to run something like this, so I expect I'll be able to keep server costs below $20/month even if I pick up a couple hundred active users.
Our ops team standardized on UTC (though not all of our tools support that).

OP refers to a post from Joel Spolsky, but there is a better one that he wrote that I'll include the text below.

It was one of those posts that stuck in my head because it makes sense. There may be an overriding reason why an employer is likely to tell you to take the contract as-is or walk, no matter how much they want you to join. You may think that you are super-valuable engineer, and maybe even the hiring manager, but not if your negotiation is likely to hold up the due diligence of the investors' exit.

https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2016/12/09/developers-side-pr...

Even if a company decided, “oh gosh, we don’t want to own the 5:00-9:00 inventions,” they would soon get into trouble. Why? Because they might try to take an investment, and the investor would say, “prove to me that you’re not going to get sued by some disgruntled ex-employee who claims to have invented the things that you’re selling.” The company wants to be able to pull out a list of all current and past employees, and show a contract from every single one of them assigning inventions to the company. This is expected as a part of due diligence in every single high tech financing, merger, and acquisition, so a software company that isn’t careful about getting these assignments is going to have trouble getting financed, or merging, or being acquired, and that ONE GUY from 1998 who didn’t sign the agreement is going to be a real jerk about signing it now, because he knows that he’s personally holding up a $350,000,000 acquisition and he can demand a lot of money to sign.

The above is an IP example, but non-competes may be the same (regardless of if they are enforceable). Q:"What is to stop everybody resigning after we announce the merger and working for the senior manager the next day?" A:"Every employee has signed one of <<these>> and most will be scared of the threatening lawyers letters that we send."

I like this question as a broad approach to life and careers. They really are different skills sets.

Trying to apply the paradigm to knowledge work is tricky. I'm an operator by title and trade. Best I can tell, someone can ride the operator title all the way up to exec levels. Unfortunately, as you rise in an org the high level Operator is really just a strategist managing other operators.

"Is the benefit in money and status worth the tradeoff in fulfillment that comes from doing a job you’re brilliant at and love? It’s okay to recognize that you like carrying out orders more than formulating them. And it’s okay to value the chance to practice the things you’re really skilled at more than a bigger office. "

It's a tension for me. I enjoy doing the work to keep a company up and running. But pay growth is tied to managing people and "multiplying impact".

I understand many Engineering orgs have split IC/Manager tracks. I've never seen the same thing in Support, Business Operations, or Analyst type roles.

From my experiments, ChatGPT is at least valuable by generating boilerplate code for scripting languages. I believe once connected to enterprise codebase its quality and completion can dramatically increase.
Also how was the compensation only 25% of the value?
One could say the same thing about programming. If I'm playing or writing music for people, and they are enjoying it, I want to get paid.
I launched one of my games http://anagramica.com in 2013, and has negative revenue and zero maintenance requirements. It’s on an ancient cloud instance. It has an active API that powers several other games (probably more than I’m aware of!). It’s so old that it predates free SSL certs like letsencrypt, and I don’t care enough to spend the time on wiring it up.

I’m also hesitant to post it here because I don’t want it to go down if it gets too much traffic!
Also the question of whether or not a technology is neutral is separate from the question of whether or not a particular implementation of that technology is.

Which is itself separate from the question of whether or not Mark Zuckerberg is being kind of a dick.

The article isn't bad and the reference is worth reading, but it's impossible to engage with this much material at the same time as though it's one conversation. It's poor intellectual discipline, I'm sorry.
AI would be one of the first niches consumed if AI ate programming.
If its furniture you're thinking of - people want custom hand-made things now, they just can't afford them. That trend isn't going to change with increased automation.
> The status of the bag is iffy once compensation is paid.

This is at least partially addressed in the article.

> “So I looked into the terms and conditions to see if me accepting compensation changed over ownership to Air Canada, and there’s nothing,” she said, adding that their bag has been “wrongfully donated.”

I think this is reasonable. Just because the airline paid compensation doesn't mean they can donate bags that they don't own. At the very least, they should have some kind of publicly accessible database to list these for a while before donation.
The question is one of optimization. There are arguably optimal doses of particular nutrients (i.e. Vitamin D) that would be extremely hard to achieve through "a balanced diet". Also most people do not and many can not eat a "balanced diet", as that requires a ton of effort to maintain.

To put it another way, if the benefits of exercise were available in pill form on grocery store shelves, everyone would be taking that pill. Saying "you could save some money by just exercising normally!" is making a lot of assumptions about what people are willing and able to do, and frankly you'd be a fool to waste time exercising if the benefits were achievable through a magic pill.

Supplements aren't quite that magical, but they make optimal, hard-to-achieve doses achievable, even on a bad diet. Granted they can also be misused, or doses can be so low/ingredients not bio-available such that they have no impact. They're a tool like anything else, and can be used correctly or incorrectly. Part of what bugs me about the meta-analysis saying "supplements don't reduce all-cause mortality!" is that they lump wildly different supplements with different make-ups, taken in different doses on different schedules from different starting diets with different amounts of discipline/regularity. Of course at a population level the number of people using them wrong probably outnumber the people who do their research and maintain a disciplined approach. Your average person has issues getting their car's oil changed and understanding the difference between synthetic and conventional oil. A skilled individual could properly apply and see benefits from supplements, just as a skilled individual could successfully change their own oil.

I could give examples but I won't, because that would link my HN and Wikipedia accounts.

> So "garbage puffed up beyond all belief" and "full of terrible and fake citations that lead to nowhere" sounds a bit hyperbolic, tbh.

People unironically describe it as the "sum of all human knowledge," so it's definitely puffed up beyond belief. In reality, much of it is a slow battle of tendentious agenda-pushing, by people with weird personalities, played according to an arcane rule book (the first unstated rule of which is to never, ever acknowledge that you're pushing an agenda). That doesn't taint all of it, but it taints far more than you'd think.

We are nowhere near out of data. We're just out of hyper-relevant modern data. There is probably about 100-200T of old books, newspapers, journal articles, magazines and so forth. For reference, GPT3 was trained on 45T.
>> I had assumed this was ubiquitously understood, but clearly not.

Some anecdotal evidence to support this.

I work for a very large health care company. We recently redesigned one of our portals. During the UX research phase, one of the tasks was to go back to the home page via the logo - one of the researchers had an idea we were assuming all of our users should/would know this since but we still have a large portion of our users are older, retirees or aging Gen Xers. It was a hunch at the time - nothing more.

The research showed a large enough percentage of people couldn't complete the task in a timely manner whereas on the new design, the logo is now just an SVG, with no link. We have a dedicated "Home" link now on the main navigation which in testing, 100% of the people were now able to complete the task in a timely manner.

I think it really stunned quite a few people since this has seemingly been a standard design pattern for so long. I was pretty stunned hearing the research team talking about it.
> Yes on the whole most people do go out and travel again, but on average much less frequently than they used to

You need to provide some data to back this up, because all of the data I've seen (and all of the full flights I've been on) says the opposite.

Which works until the scammers begin making nice websites. They already do, not sure if you've noticed - phishing sites typically look almost identical to the target site. I've even seen known scam shopping sites look completely legitimate. Stripe lookalike checkout page, with full emulation of every behavior of the page, address look up, the whole nine yards. The reason why it's not worse than it currently is, is because CC theft is not as easy as it could be, if it were all crypto (irreversible transactions + immediate theft that can be shuffled around within seconds and hidden).

A multiplayer spaceship bridge simulator game, where your crew each takes a different position on a futuristic spaceship, explore space, meet aliens, complete missions, and hopefully keep your ship in one piece!

If you've ever played Artemis, Empty Epsilon, Starship Horizons, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, heck even SpaceTeam, this is in the same genre. It's pretty much Space DnD, with the option to have a Game Master role.

Still under development, but by the time its done it'll have a 3D universe simulation, crew and ship systems simulation, interactive controls for a whole bridge of friends, and an interactive mission designer.

Isn't that how people learn art and writing: they study good artists and writers?

In the United States, a legal derivative work, which isn't a parody, needs to make three substantive changes from the original. It's fair to say that creating new works in the same style or 'look-and-feel' of an artist would satisfy that at prima facie.
How is that clear? Nowhere in the blog post does it say that the bags had tag or PII information to identify the owners.

From the perspective of the airline they were unclaimed — likely the tags had torn off and the airline had no idea who to connect the bag to.

Maybe it would be a nice service to incorporate AirTag tracing for unclaimed luggage, especially if the tracing was based on a standard and not specific to a single luxury brand. But regardless that would be a new SOP and isn’t part of the current one.
There is no honor is dying on an ER stretcher.

For anyone in the US who needs regular healthcare beyond what's provided by Medicaid, the labor market is a war for (literal) survival. If the ownership class didn't want to return to an extremely adversarial relationship with labor, then they shouldn't have gutted the social safety net.

Looking for Beta Testers – App to earn rewards for efficient data usage
Hello we are a small start up and we are looking for Beta testers for our EcoBytes App. Our main goal is to get users and feedback so we can improve the app and further our conversations with mobile carriers to rewards users for their unused data from their data plan.

We ran several surveys and discovered that most people pay for a data plan that they don't use to the full capacity so we though this is like giving free money to Mobile operators. So we pitched the idea and started working on getting them to sponsor rewards and donations for people who by using our app demonstrate that they don't use all their cellular data. Also people moving to Wi-Fi is good for them as it relives load from their cell towers which saves money to them.

The more people we get the easier will be to convince more carriers and other companies to sponsor more rewards for you and your causes. Also if you download the app now and refer people you can get more points towards donating more meals and participating in a Raffle for $ prizes.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ecobytes/id1594128885
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shoelacewireless.ecobytes

If unable to participate in the beta testing phase it would also help us if you can fill this survey to gather more information about our pilot https://forms.gle/8Rsdnc5At8deJ8ay5

We appreciate any feedback and be willing to help you with any questions on this post.
