I would say both have changed. The economics has changed because, even leaving out political factors, the benefit of invading a country has greatly decreased, because the kind of war you need to wage to invade a country now will destroy whatever wealth in that country you were hoping to gain by invading it. And the political factors have changed because previous ways of trying to reduce the cost of controlling a country will now trigger consequences (in the form of actions by other countries) that they didn't before.

Harley-Davidson Killed Itself (2020)
I’m more interested in the reverse. I’ve been building (resurrecting?) a game engine https://github.com/shawwn/noh and I was looking forward to my new M2 primarily so that I could finally do cross platform gamedev on a single machine. Mac, windows, Linux, all on one box.

Hah! Fat chance. It’s frustratingly close to working. But Linux Ubuntu arm has trouble using the M2’s GPU through Fusion, and Windows 11 ARM is … well, let’s just say that arm64 Windows isn’t a priority. Fmod won’t release an fmod lib for it, so the engine straight up has no sound. And I don’t know if I was able to get the graphics to work either.

It’s OpenGL man. This shouldn’t be that hard. But graphics is perpetually trapped in 1999 era developer experience.

For real though, I want to support Linux as a first class citizen. That means someone with Ubuntu should be able to boot and play the game just fine. Theoretically the engine should be good to go right now (anyone feel like running it?) but I don’t have any way in my life to verify that, short of literally buying three different workstations and testing them on each.
You’d think they get that in free media.

When momentarily going over 65W the battery is called to the rescue but it gets recharged quickly enough afterwards to maintain a comfortable margin. I very much appreciate the weight difference when travelling.
Using [] to style function formal parameters is completely pointless. It literally serves no purpose. It just makes it gratuitously different from other languages (not only Lisps). In most mainstream languages, both formal parameters and actual parameters use parentheses.

There would be a sense to it if square brackets shifted into some alternative semantics: (fn (...) ...) versus (fn [...] ...) doing something usefully different.

If you must use square brackets there, they are just a syntactic quirk that doesn't enable any new semantics.

For example, my friends and I play Pauper [0]. A format where only common cards are allowed. You can get a strong on-meta deck for between USD24-USD90. It has a huge card pool going almost back to the beginning, so you can build really nice decks!

Even in USD1000 formats like Modern or Pioneer. There are "cheaper" decks like 8-Whack, or Mono-blue Tempo respectively. I think around USD100.

The company I work for has an absurd number of SM's that do very little actual work from what any of us can tell. Got me thinking that while the idea of a 'chatGPT SM' is not new/original, it seems things are progressing faster than a lot of us expect, maybe the time is right?

Anyone working on something like that? Granted, it's not an easy problem to solve, there are a lot of nuances to running a meeting. However, with things like SamarAIGPT[0] and similar "ai's" coming out now, maybe it's possible to create a prototype at this point

I want a slice of features that can fill the gap that Reddit or Twitter did. Mastodon worked excellently for that for me. I've permanently switched from Twitter, 6mo ago or w/e.

Reddit has Lemmy, maybe, but they seem in a less mature place than Mastodon was when Twitter fumbled.

Naysay Mastodon all you want, but i think it gained a fair bit of traction from Twitter's event. Best of all, it's not trying to be Twitter. I'm looking for that with Reddit, currently.

In this day and age it seems most designers are more concerned about white space than content to the extent that you might as well do away with the content and just have a blank page. (Thank god nobody is trying to make it "black space" instead except for the dark mode enthusiasts.)

People are always complaining about things being hard to read on phones but there seems to be very little insight that excessive white space is the main problem, I mean, if somebody has a $1200 phone and you waste 1/3 of the space on excessive white space you should pay them $400 to make up for it.

But I'm more in the camp above, that this pre-IRB study wasn't particularly egregious, at least by the scale of atrocities of early 20th century research.

Ask HN: Who has a smaller Redis DB with lots of reads and writes?
Looking for an active project or actual production deployment with thousands as opposed to millions of keys, with lots of reads and writes. I've got a way to offload most of the reads to DNS infrastructure which is very efficient for caching reads.

As far as architectural limits, no KEYS operation should generate more than roughly 64K of data and keys / values themselves should be relatively short, 64-128 bytes with a hard limit of 255 bytes per value. (Data is not restricted to e.g. ASCII, as the DNS says "any octet".)

This is a read only solution, so it implicitly protects against malicious writes; and the Redis database only has to be accessible to the translation layer. DNS features provide control over TTLs, WAF-like control over access to specific keys, restriction by IP address and "API key" (TSIG, which also provides integrity guarantees). Encryption, if necessary, can be implemented with TLS (including endpoint termination with Nginx) or VPN.

A federated architecture with multiple Redis instances is absolutely in scope, and indeed one of the "just in time collection from the edge" scenarios where the DNS particularly shines.

I'll provide 20 hours of assistance for free, what I want in return is a commitment to write up and publish a case study.

This is the tool: https://github.com/m3047/rkvdns and it would be deployed in conjunction with instances of BIND (https://www.isc.org/bind) to provide the advanced features.

Reach out to me at consulting@m3047.net or the email address referenced in the project README for paid support (bonus points for the latter) and mention you saw this post. Feel free to ask general questions below.

Neither did Wikipedia (at least to my knowledge). I thought the point of opening up information was to benefit the public, first and foremost, and without hidden terms which state something along the lines of "it's free and open information built by the community, but when something disrupts our ads-driven business model and we make it unfree".

It would have been nice if they had at least allowed their contributors to vote on this, or have some sort of a say.

United States of America vs. Donald J. Trump and Waltine Naute [pdf]
I would note that YouTube/Twitch content-creators create subreddits for a very specific reason: they ask their communities to share links to "relevant" content there, and to upvote the links that the community would most want the content-creator themselves to see. Then, when the content-creator feels too lazy to make real content, they instead start a screen-recording + video session, sort their subreddit by "top - this week", and start clicking through the posts and live-reacting to them.

It's in theory equivalent to a "share things for me to react to" Discord channel — but the fact that it's Reddit means that it has automatic chronologically-segmented userbase-wide voting rounds applied to the links, which makes it easy for the content-creator to react "blind" to a bunch of "interesting" things in a row, without needing to do any pre-filtering for things they haven't seen yet, or editing out boring things, or showing anything that would break content-guidelines on a livestream.

There were a number of issues that lead to the decision not to do a grab and seed of SE into codidact.

There was the "what license is that post actually under? Is it 2.5? 3.0? 4.0?" which made things difficult.

There was the "what are the actual attribution requirements that SE has for sites that use its content?" This is a bit of an issue because it's never really clear what those requirements are and what you need to do. It can also hurt SEO because it's duplicated content. Furthermore, codidact leadership had already and enough dealings with SE lawyers and likely wanted to avoid any other.

Lastly, there was the desire to make a philosophical break with SE. The codidact founders didn't want to have anything to do with SE.

Some sites are doing ok. Others stood up but didn't have sufficient involvement to keep them going.
