I couldn't remember if I'd played this mod - then I saw the teeth/mouth that surrounds the screen when you play on the alien team in one of the screenshots and it all came flooding back.

Original HL had an absolutely awesome modding community. As well as the huge one (CS) there were tweaks to make it better in all sorts of ways:
- Adrenaline Gamer or AG - which changed the movement a little to make deathmatch super fast-paced.
- Bubble Mod - which make a few gameplay tweaks to make deathmatch more sensible and manageable in large servers

...and I even wrote my own for the deathmatch games we played on our LAN at Uni, which announced a particularly annoying players name whenever he got fragged.

Don't really have time for these things any more!

Winning here doesn’t actually mean style across all art is safe just safe in that specific instance:

The case was litigated rather than being thrown out because style is legally recognized as falling under copyright. “In 1993 the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit shot down that appeal, though, on the same grounds—the original suit had been neither frivolous nor brought in bad faith.”

The Supreme Court didn’t disagree, they ruled on a different matter.

In the realm of software development, a key indicator of happiness and optimal work experience is achieving a state of 'flow'. This is a balance between individual capability and work complexity, slightly inclined towards challenges. But how can we quantify this balance and measure the satisfaction of developers?

The government has a monopoly on these repairs because a smart lawyer will find some easy way to threaten the samaritan for damaging their car. This is just consonant to the core problem: the rich have stolen all of the money.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at. You can get glasses now and not put PFAS in your eye and have improved vision. Some people don't like wearing glasses and would prefer contacts. Maybe they can make an informed decision between long term discomfort and the very low increased possibility of a future eye disease? People aren't good at long term thinking though.

re laser eye surgery, there was a story pretty recently about the number of post surgery issues being downplayed and under-represented. If you had a full and true picture of the risks then you might avoid laser eye surgery, but people running laser eye surgery clinics don't want you to have all the information.

From the Guardian:

But after lobbying from landlords, he will also “strengthen powers to evict antisocial tenants, broadening the disruptive and harmful activities that can lead to eviction and making it quicker to evict a tenant acting antisocially”, his department said.

It could mean renters being given a two-week notice period for antisocial behaviour evictions and that any behaviour “capable” of “causing nuisance or annoyance” could trigger eviction.

I agree but also I don't. Deadlines, and their close cousin goals, are but an excuse to stop working.

You either hit the deadline well in advance, in which case you can sit on your hands and still consider it a victory. Or you miss the deadline and you have failed and might as well give up. Or -- the worst case -- you can tell far in advance that you will miss so you don't even bother.

Compounding the problem is that we often aren't even in full control of what can make or break the deadline, so it becomes a lottery that, whatever the outcome, awards us with an excuse to stop working.

It's valuable to know the cost of time, though. There ought to be better technologies for this than deadlines.

----

I've tried to think of ways to quantify this but not arrived at anything useful. The best method I know is to explain to an expert that "I didn't ship today because the product is still missing X which is necessary for the customer because Y", and then the expert can tell you off if you're wrong.

In fact, you might get far even when striking out the expert. An "I didn't ship today because" journal might be useful on its own.

----

In contrast to other comments here, I don't think this is really about people needing different sorts of motivation, but more about excplicating the cost structure of the trade-off people make when they trade time (delay shipping) for... something else. This is a hidden cost which I believe frequently is larger than people think.

----

And of course, time itself is an abstraction here for the benefits one get from shipping earlier, like faster feedback, less variability in release size, etc.

> Time value of money, optionality, non-arbitrage.

Another big one is "opacity". A financial product that is convoluted and needlessly complicated allows the most sophisticated financial players to consistently take advantage of the rest.

Much in finance is zero sum. Your outperformance is somebody else's underperformance. Financial products that are understood by everybody will not make you a lot of money, because they will trade approximately at their fair value. This is why so much in finance is complex instead of simple.

By analogy: PDF is terribly complicated because Adobe didn't want their PDF software to become commoditized. A bad and illogical file spec benefits Adobe at the expense of everybody else.
Maybe you aren't familiar what second generation means: Born to Japanese parents. It's from third generation onwards when you really start having nothing to do with your heritage.

I'm practically Japanese in everything but birthplace and nationality, Japanese folks just assume I'm one of them unless I mention to them otherwise.

Apple came up with Swift. Apple's pulled off multiple changes in processor architecture (68k/PPC/Intel/Apple Silicon). They are pretty much the poster child for 'my way or the highway', for vision that shows no interest in compromising with the weight of accumulated expectation.

They're consistently willing to throw everything away and make up a new thing and force everybody to do that (and re-buy all their stuff). I don't know the specifics of how, organizationally, they do it.

They're a proof that this way of doing things can be successful, and profitable.
eBay: The failed motherboards for instance will probably find new life from people selling their broken boards for $75, then component level repair shops can use the schematics to fix and then resell for $300+.

People do this with macbooks "logic boards" without access to schematics and now with framework, the barrier of entry is even lower.

Framework is doing something that goes back a long time, people like the parts swap capability (Long term car platforms for instance, created fanatics that became brand ambassadors and love to use this medium as an outlet to show off their ingenuity).

> has hardly progressed past the feudal system

Well, it literally hasn't; as fellow Scot arethuza points out, Scotland finally abolished the feudal system once the Scottish Parliament was reconstituted and able to do so, but England has not. It did abolish the "feu burdens", but there's a whole load of weird holdovers still in the system. "Chancel repair liability" is a "fun" one.

> It’s also surprising to me as I assumed that it was expensive to repair potholes and require special equipment and machines. This makes me think that any unpatched potholes are just a logistic issue since the cost is all labor and coordination.

Cold patch is a temporary fix—it doesn't bond to the surrounding asphalt of the pothole. I don't know much about Portland's climate, and maybe cold patch will work well there long-term, but in areas with harsh winters, any cold patch in potholes will get ripped right out by vehicle tires since the cold will make it more brittle.

Permanent repairs usually do require machinery, as far as I understand.

So how do naturally occurring mutations in the gene family members, get propagated thru the species?

Meaning, if a gene family blunts the effects of random mutation on the individual gene level, how does natural selection ‘improve’ the species?

Multiple copies in the gene family apparently inhibit any mutations in the ‘family member’ from impacting the overall plant.

I'm not against taking care of older people, and you have to make an effort to interpret my post like that.

Every culture has also had older people stepping down at some point to let fresh blood take the charge and carry the burden. In Western societies we don't see that so much anymore. Instead it seems the old prefer to see things rot than to let younger people take over. With land, farms, houses, businesses, etc.

If younger people got an honest chance all would benefit, including the old. Instead young people are mostly seen as people to exploit or ignore.

It is not difficult to look up history. The current old people who hold power in small and in large, when you look up their history, they all got help to start their ventures. Very few of them are self made, so why the act?

Why would you make a junior developer develop an entire shopping/order module to a CMS? Because f that particular developer who happened to be me in the beginning of my 20s, in my first real job as a programmer.

I used JS, C# with NHibernate and lots of weird HTML and CSS to create something which satisfied all the requirements I've been given. But guess how good the code was? We had zero review process except someone looking over your shoulder by chance and quickly distancing themselves as what I then thought to be the "any code I didn't write is bad code" attitude.

I did the "just ship it" thing before it was cool. Views accessing database? Lots of those. Classes skipping dependency injection and instantiating random god classes to achieve all the things? Plenty! Using extremely complicated and dog-slow JS when a couple lines of CSS could do? Sure! Converting numbers to floats to decimals then back to floats then to string then again to god knows what only to store integers in the database? Got you covered!

Then the customers wanted more and more features, and when I was doing ERP integration (really!) I finally thought I needed some guidance. Oh the humble me!

I went to the lead developer in our department because those other inexperienced (!) developers wouldn't have understood the challenges I was facing. He took the time to listen to me, and as I was having my first "rubber duck" moment, his face started to change. We later sat at my station and the horror in his eyes when I was passionately explaining the "intelligent code" I've written was remarkable. He ended up creating a task force and rewriting the whole thing later.

A year or two later, he was doing a presentation of the state-of-the-art review process "he designed" (pull requests), and used my code to the same effect as those WAT moments in the "The Birth & Death of JavaScript" speech by Gary Bernhardt[0].

Funnily enough, I never took offense. To be honest I didn't know how to feel. What I knew was that a lot of customers were complaining that it took way more time/budget to develop features for the order module and nobody understood why we had to take a few steps back out of nowhere when everything was going so smoothly.

Now being a technical lead myself, I know the importance of not just reviewing code, but reviewing the circumstances and trade-offs that lead to that code being written. Actually, reviewing those is much more important than reviewing the code itself. More important is to have linters and other tooling review code, not people.

I know this post is more about what you create being hated rather than how you created it, but I just wanted to get this off my chest, and thought it could still be relevant :)

I work as a programmer for a Fortune 100 company that everyone on the planet has heard of. I am sick of hearing about using AI. Everyone is talking about it, the company has meetings about it every week, we've came out with policies about using public LLM's like ChatGTP for company purposes.
Yeah, I think that's where the tradeoff moves. Rather than "no-fault" it will become "made-up or wildly exaggerated fault". Landlord will bung your neighbour £50 to put in a noise complaint, etc.
The Tories are appealing to their voters or future ones. They realise that there's a bunch of new voters, or who they want to vote for them, are renters. I imagine some of the more radical changes will be watered down in favour of some of the weaker but popular ones such as allowing pets.

I forget the term for it, but it's a kind of poaching from Labour. The Conservatives are promoting themselves as "for the working people" as in people who actually work where Labour used to be for the "working class". In both parties we see them shedding past core beliefs, Labour have chosen the middle class and view the working class as vulnerable people with no agency and the Tories have dumped prioritising the rich landlords and big money as they know they are going to be loyal anyhow and are choosing more crowd pleasing things.

I think the time of core values have passed, its all slippery chameleon politics in my view.

Hull. Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives.

Also Wilmott. Can't remember the name but it will be obvious.

It's pretty much high school math, you establish what the cash flows are and the value of the thing flows from there. When it comes to optionality you probably haven't done stochastic calculus in high school, but you can follow along anyway. Both books will explain interesting things like how to price an option on an option, that kind of thing. Non-arbitrage is what holds the the whole thing together: if the price didn't follow {rules} then you could do {steps} to make free money.

sync-first atomic FRP library for JS; my beloved project for a couple of years
I didn't say I was doing permaculture. I know what it's about. We certainly incorporate bits of it, for example I do make my own compost and I do mulch with cardboard and other available materials. And we built a hugelmound. However, I'm not going to give up my job or fart around for 10 years to get things done when we can make a call and get a truck load of mulch. Plus the company that we buy from takes greenwaste and turns it into mulch and compost, so apart from the commercial component it's not that different a lifecycle, just a different scale.

This really isn't the case, at least for large banks.

Bank boards and CEOs would much rather have lower trading performance than get pulled up by regulators. It's very difficult for a bank CEO to get fired for being to cautious and regulator friendly. Mediocre financial results can always be excused in earrings calls with de-risking or social responsibility and few shareholders are interested in the political fallout of publicly disagreeing with that.
