Maybe it depends on your point of view?

I see the lines between procedural world generation and bespoke crafted worlds as somewhat arbitrary.

Eg, bespoke simulations have a finite custom form, but are yet also infinite, the custom constraints typically being things such as permissible movement or magnification.

In principle, without those constraints, you could also keep exploring infinitely, and similar to a procedural world, it'd become boring.

Conversely, in Elite, the vocabulary list, and various classifications of world features, are the custom, stored inputs. One could also keep "zooming" into them arbitrarily, but custom limits were placed on that.
Datatables – jQuery Interactive Tables
I realize this doesn't apply to Upwork, but don't the new U.S. tax laws discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35614313 prevent companies from writing off development costs, meaning they are taxed on the gross revenues (at least for that year)
Nope. Semantically they are still semi-colon separated lists.

The fact that recent official TCL engines include performance optimisations does not change that fact, nor does it fix most of the issues with "everything is a string".

> they were not simply "semicolon separated" strings, the special formatting was more complex than "semi-colon delimiter".

Yes of course it needs quoting so that semicolons can be included. Thanks for pointing out one of the downsides of "everything is a string".
There is good hint that the universe is infinite (flat universe) and the main interpretation of quantum mechanics refutes local determinism.
SwiftUI’s StateObject and ObservedObject: The Key Differences
This article will introduce the similarities, differences, principles, and precautions between StateObject and ObservedObject in SwiftUI.
> the concept of requiring a workaround because my geaphics drivers aren't functional is something I cannot understand

It's not a workaround, it's just a perk, when I moved to "ultra customized" as you put it, you don't want to have to configure masses of stuff, i3wm is good for this, it's pretty minimal to configure... an XDM was just more work to configure, but with little utility from my perspective, also I work on the cli a lot so it doesn't feel unnatural to be welcomed by a tty.

And yeah the final perk, Linux wasn't always so compatible, and even in more recent history nVidia graphics drivers can still be problematic. About 10 years ago i think, I used Linux on a 2008 MBP, and freeBSD actually, those things had craptastic nVidia GPUs, you know the batch that came with the first gen unleaded soldier fiasco and when nVidia lied to apple about their thermal specs before they had a falling out and everyone got their GPUs underclocked in firmware to push failures out of warrantee - i digress - anyway the linux support for any nvidia stuff back then was terrible, and very flimsy on dual GPU laptops. For Apple it was more tricky still because you needed to write an Apple specific gmux switcher before even attempting to boot with the nvidia driver, and if that actually worked when you start X then you would lose visual access to your tty because it had no modsetting support... which ironically made using tty instead of an xdm a disadvantage for when the graphics driver failed once in X... I sometimes tried to bring it back to life essentially blindfolded on the tty if X died, mixed success.

Point is, on any laptop with nvidia back then, you usually had to do some level of mucking around on the tty anyway before being able to depend on anything graphical like an xdm... and pray it doesn't break on the next driver update. Frankly right now, we are living in Linux utopia, a lot of hardware "just works".
I do a lot of negotiating on products like this. The most I've ever gotten was a shirt and some stickers for my kid. Definitely not enough to move the needle on $250k/year deals. I feel like I'm missing out!

I love how good DataDog is. It's a great product. Too expensive though. I love most of the people I've worked with at Grafana Cloud but it's a painful product. The price makes up for it though, so we use Grafana Cloud.

We may end up with something like signoz, when we have the cycles but the ROI is bad when I already have twice as much work as people and that barely more than KTLO.
I made it as far as my first internship before I learned what `!val` meant. Don't ding people (especially interns or juniors) for not knowing specifics or notation, or things that can be answered in a single google. What matters is what they do when they learn what `i++` is - does it ever come up again, and do they understand it.

All such effects might have been caused by the fact that vaccinated people behaved differently after receiving vaccination because they thought they were completely protected. So they exposed themselves to covid more. So they might have higher chance of having asymptomatic covid, esp. since vaccine might have reduced the symptoms to the level of common cold that didn't raise suspicion enough to even consider getting tested.

So the vaccinated population in any such research might have higher exposure rates to sars-cov-2 than unvaccinated. Especially to earlier, more harmful strains. And since we know that even asymptomatic covid can have rare severe long term harmful effects on human body it's entirely possible that vaccination harmed us not through some biological mechanism but by making us more foolhardy and lockdown and mask less.
> Well done, you’ve defeated link rot!

Except you haven't, because anyone that wants to view these images where they are linked needs to know to change the URL to Haasie instead of Imgur. So all the links are still broken.

And on top of that, even if the users know about Haasie, it only works if someone went to this website before the original image was deleted, and enter the URL on a form. Non-popular images will be long gone before people do this manually. Perhaps accepting any URL and transparently fetching it from Imgur would improve this a little. From my manual testing, this doesn't seem to be the case, just gives an S3 error from bucket ID haasie01, and nothing shows up there even if I wait and refresh.

All of this is assuming this website won't go down or go bad. Probably the Archive Team, and Archive.org can handle this task better.
> it is language that crystallises and captures almost all the human intelligence.

> I personally still don't know how to get through to most boomers ...

You can't. Key to solving climate and environmental problems is over-population and over-consumption. Boomers have been taught that they are entitled to big families and big cars and the latest toys. Tell them they can't have any of that, and see how popular you are.

> And let me ask you this: What positive experiences or benefits have you enjoyed in adopting a more sustainable lifestyle personally?

We eat like kings (my work colleagues complain about how amazing my leftovers smell when I heat them up at lunch); we have a lovely, comfortable house; and we have much reduced pressure of bills. We feel good we've preserved a little bit of untouched forest/bush, and increased the habit for the animals. We don't have children, which is good because if we did we'd be terrified for their future.

But ... I still commute 4 days a week (in a small car; there's no public transport) because of other financial requirements, and a lot of our life still falls short of an ideal because the required changes to truely live sustainably lack the required institutional and government regulations (like, there's still a ridiculous amount of unnecessary plastic for everything; you can't buy an apple without a little plastic label on it).

The biggest trick of the corporations was for them to move the responsibility onto us, and to have our consciences appeased by "recycling" and "buying green".

Conspiracy theorist's take: Apple intentionally requires a second click to decrease ad clicks. Given the bottom anchor ad is a very popular ad format, this feature is negatively affecting most publishers. Advertising platforms like Google already implement two-clicks penalty as a safeguard for advertisers.

In USA, Safari accounts for one-third of total mobile traffic, and mobile traffic itself makes up two-thirds of total traffic.

This seemingly small feature is single-handedly wiping out billions of dollars in revenue for publishers... and Google.
it's really depends on the country laws and legal entity type, in some cases you must report gross income and all platforms fees can't be considered as expenses.
How would that actually work? When you reach your spending limit, delete your data from S3 that you’re being charged for? Stop allowing egress traffic? Stop allowing any API calls that cost money? Stop your EC2 instance?

AWS has over 200 services. How would you implement that conceptually?

I know it’s a real concern when learning AWS for most people. I first learned AWS technologies at a 60 person company where I had admin access from day one to the AWS account and then went to AWS where I can open as many accounts as I want for learning. So I haven’t had to deal with that issue.

But what better way would you suggest than LightSail where you have known costs up front?
Yes. In Finnish and Swedish, the letters V and W traditionally collated together.

In other words, this is a correctly alphabetically ordered list:

Wasa
Virtanen
Wiva
Viwe

The rule was apparently changed in 2006 in Sweden though (with Finland presumably tagging along).

There’s probably still plenty of SQL installations around using the old collation rules because tables were created before the 2006 change reached database software.
The problem with scales on a guitar is not getting to the next note, which is relatively easy. It's if you're playing a piece and you haven't worked out the scale to use first and then halfway through you find you need to either get your index finger off the string it's on and onto the string above, or get your pinky waaaaay over there on the same string, and what looks like a simple step is actually really hard - in that scale.

if you had read some of the previous thread you might have picked up on the subtle distinction that some of the people being dinged for saying Forever probably meant forever when they said it but then ran up against reality.

True if you say forever you should be held to it, on the other hand if someone says forever to you you should hopefully be clever enough to realize they can't do it because forever is unknowable.

But once again I seem to have run up against the great moral pillars of HN for noting that you should not believe forever when you hear it because well, whatever.

From the study: Based on the official COVID-19 death reports, it is estimated that vaccinations have prevented 14.4 million excess COVID-19 deaths worldwide between December 2020 and December 202139. Thus, vaccination is the most effective method for preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Anecdotally, I've seen people at very senior engineering positions who just don't understand the basics of what they're doing. Does that mean that it's jarring how many GenX'ers don't understand?

Do you know what hot water does? Like liquid sodium, it rises. The point here isn't that liquid sodium has some magical lifting property water doesn't have, it's the enthalpy, latent heat: water can't hold as much heat energy without pressure to contain the phase change into steam. If you remove hot things from the primary heat source they cool. The sodium is just more tractable.

Einstein and (Leo) Szilard had patents in liquid metal pumped refrigerator designs using electro magnetics instead of mechanical pumps, Richard Rhodes talks about them, and applications to cooling nuclear systems.
Thank god, I hated dev tools autocompleting for me in situations where I didn't want it to. Everyone in their right mind uses tab for autocomplete.
> That relies on only taking the base load and offloading the actual hard part to other generators. Exactly what nuclear proponents like to say will be impossible for renewables.

It's certainly not impossible, since that's what we do currently. The reason we would like to stop doing it in the future is co2 emissions, not a feasibility barrier.

Now my point was that we don't have experience of massive storage. And in the absence of storage, nuclear costs go up, while renewables output goes down. One is painful but manageable, we don't have a plan to handle the other.

Personally, I wish we spent a bit less subsidies on renewable production, and a bit more on grid-sized storage, so we can have an answer on costs. Without this, discussions on storage-enabled grids are conjectures at best.

It’s a good thing we have solar, wind and batteries to do most of the work of decarbonization before 2050, because it seems like if these supposed breakthroughs in nuclear are going to deliver on their clean energy promises, we’re going to have to buy them lots of time to actually get working.
It doesn't really matter, as long as the contract doesn't explicitly warn about the bricking.
I believe they use salts of other metals, not sodium. But in any case, in a salt the metal has already reacted with something and is unlikely to react further with commonly encountered substances.
I guess my eyesight must be failing me, or my reading comprehension and memory because I keep looking through what I said and I don't see a mention of responsibility anywhere.

I would say it's not any consumer's responsibility to know that but when it does not hold it may be expected that the cynics who did not expect it to hold point sideways and chuckle because believing "forever" when you hear it is a bit too doe-eyed with wonder, even though you should probably be recompensed in some way.

There's plenty of ways to overcome this, people just aren't using the tools effectively, we need some video call training.
