Diablo and PoE differ in tone and gameplay. One is darker and more story/world focused, which is what people tend to love about it, while the other is about management of extreme complexity. Path of Exile (and by extension the upcoming path of exile 2) is all about sinking thousands of hours into understanding game mechanics. The level of depth in that game is unmatched while the story is a complete clusterfuck. For example: you need third party programs to just help you understand how much damage you´re doing due to the number of variables that need to be accounted for https://pathofbuilding.community/images/pob_overview.png

Reason I say this is because if the parent comment is looking for something to try, it is important to keep in mind that PoE is really difficult for beginners to get into and play casually.
> What according you takes something to turn an algorithm into a product?

Product needs to drive algorithm. Google hired a bunch of people who were into algorithms and so algorithms became > product.
to me seq diagrams are .. too sequential, my brain needs a protocol / graph proof like formalism to see things more globally.
It's easy to say "oh this modern indie game was made by only X people!" forgetting that the [open source] stack it was developed on has hundreds if not thousands of contributors.

So no, Hollow Knight wasn't developed by three people "including all the programming". It uses Unity. Unity is worth billions and employs thousands of people, many of them certainly programmers.

I agree though that very few people are needed nowadays for the art. With generative AI, even less. (But that's also sort of an [open source] giant to stand on the shoulders of with countless contributing artists.)
I work in a suprisingly innovative industry... tolling!

Seriously, there's some surprising work being done in the field, and software patents play a big part for companies that are very active in the space.

It's like the stock market. A lot of millionairs have money in stocks, but so, too, does the average Wal-Mart employee (at least it was an option when I was a cashier 20 years ago!). In other words, even small companies can gain a competative advantage with just a patent or two.
> It only takes a couple of minutes to educate yourself on this topic.

You can disagree without assuming that i am not familiar with the subject.

The link you provided is from 2007 so i am not sure how fair it is to quote guido from then. But i am not sure the link demonstrate the point you are trying to make, from guido himself :

> While it is my personal opinion, based upon the above considerations, that there isn't enough value in removing the GIL to warrant the effort.

Edit :
If you want a newer reference, this HN threads and the links discribe the situation well https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36240998

Which is the point i am making... This is not really a technical issue, the python just doesn't think it's worth the effort.
bad take. hybrids make a lot of sense but they are way harder for a new company to design.
Great resource! Thanks for bringing it up.
I can attest that having fewer sit down meals will help you lose weight. One of the issues many of us have is that we over eat at meals. I have cut down to one sit down meal a day and I snack the rest of my calories through out the day. That way I minimize the temptation of over eating. One thing you have to make sure you do is to make sure you plan your full amount of food for the day according to the amount of calories you want to consume.
Does it help those with long Covid?
Telegram does the same. They just revoke your API access and on continuous violations ban your and your users accounts. Currently there are almost no apps daring to cross that line.
> I too watched the video by Alec of technologyconnections.

I didn't watch a video by Alec of technologyconnections.

> and the EU rules on it are that it needs at least a CCS2 connector

Yes. All brands of charger charging all brands of EV is sensible infrastructure. Europe's done it correctly, North America is still behind.
I strongly disagree that skipping hybrids was a great idea.

IMO a 40-50 mile PHEV would have effectively electrified 60-80% of car trips by 2020 if the US had mandated their use in all cars back in 2002 (about 5 years after the Prius and Insight were introduced).

I think carbon emissions could have been greatly reduced by 2015 with good foresight. Of course we're talking the Bush Administration in 2005, so that wasn't happening, and Obama didn't have the political firepower either.

Really within a year of the viability of the Prius Congress should have passed CAFE laws that basically forced hybrids in every consumer car segment as soon as possible, and then followed up 5 years later with a PHEV requirement, and then 5 years later with a 40 mile all electric requirement.

Why is that such an amazing idea? Simple, it maximizes the impact of the battery manufacturing supply. Instead of a Tesla Model S with a 350 mile range toting around 85% of its batteries daily for no reason, all of those batteries would have gone to actual daily use.

But now the industry is not going to do that, everyone is replatforming or replatformed for pure EVs.
I think you might be over generalizing “the right”. He certainly aligns on specific things with the right, but not everything—only where there is common overlap to his personal politics. Same as on the left…

It’s ok to be on a “side” and still be critical of that side. No one would rightly accuse Bill Maher or Jimmy Dore of being conservatives, but they are damn sure critical of certain perspectives as of late of the American left.
> It doesn't matter one whit whether people can "pay the bills". It's totally irrelevant to the discussion. If you can't make money making open source software, then go get a job.

What a terrible fucking take.

First of all yes it matters. OSS developers not being able to pay their bills despite maintaining software used by trillion dollar corps has been in the news several times. It’s an ongoing issue and talked about a lot.

Second, “go get a job” is essentially “stop doing open source”. As in “I would rather have you write closed source software than source available/open core”.

This isn’t your decision to take. This isn’t your life to live. And this isn’t your culture to dictate.

Also, you live in a bubble if you think the majority of people give a crap about the OSI definition. I say this as someone who does give a crap (though not that big of one).
I wouldn't be surprised if they've put themselves on the radar of Harvard Business Review for having the ball in their court and somehow phenomenally fumbling it at every opportunity
Odd that it says 3000 years ago. The start of the Wikipedia entry on bronze swords says they appeared in 17BC which is of course only 2000 years ago.
Are there any good books on Diablo series? I'd love to read more.
If this wasn't connected to the blackout, this would be great news. There are a few mods, who when reddit was young, decided to squat every existing country's subreddit, along with common words. Those subs now work well with active mods below them. But the squatter still has full power, and can override any other mod. Now it will hopefully be easier to kick those mods.
I’d argue software architecture has never been more healthy.

DDD Europe by all accounts was a resounding success. We’ve replaced older architecture activities like data modeling first with event modeling and Domain-Driven Design.

We’ve learned to embrace monoliths when appropriate and reduce complexity with bounded contexts.

We have phenomenal testing capabilities that didn’t exist 20 years ago.

We have a myriad of data storage tools.

We understand front-end engineering from an information architecture perspective.

We can design detailed architectures in tools like LucidChart very quickly with detailed solution details.

I’ve been at this for 40 years and I’ve never felt better about being a software architect.
I’m on Azure, it’s still Microsoft. I like a lot of Microsoft stuff these days that plays nice with open source dev tools. Azure doesn’t get in the way of that, but my defaults are not their defaults.

I’m perfectly happy with AKS. Their Postgres product is great (formerly citus). But at the the end of the day, they still want to sell Windows, Exchange, SQL Server, Active Directory, etc. That’s a choice I will probably never make, so it just feels like a mismatch.
The main important part of open source, regardless of license, is that you have the ability to run it locally to ensure that the code written and provided is what is used for your interaction with the code (since obviously a company or entity can lie and provide code that is different than what is used as the SaS.
Tailscale and Headscale come to mind.
Same (I also paid for it because of the numerous easy email aliases).

Like, it's a domain name registrar! What was their objective and plan and where did this go wrong? Out of the 2,650+ active registrars, it's the fourth most popular one!

It obviously was never going to be a massive money maker, but even if they had to raise prices, between their easy email aliases and clean interface, even though there were cheaper options, this easily could have been a small but profitable service for them. Also, it kept me in the Google ecosystem (I use Gmail with their email aliases.)

I don't know how this product realistically could have been more successful for what it is, and I don't know why you'd bother killing a service that could pay for itself, especially now that I (and the many individuals and businesses affected by this) don't even trust Google's paid services. There are over 10 million registered domains through Google Domains! That's a ton of paying customers who will be reluctant to pay for anything Google's selling in the future. Doesn't matter how good of a service Google provides if they're just going to kill it.
Have you ever written about your biggest learnings from that google experience? Well done
I've definitely gotten the sense that this is a potential significant factor in this "clown car crash". Kind of feels like Reddit has been able to raise insane amounts of money for years, but, with the sudden appearance of (and gold rush-style interest in) ChatGPT combined with Fed moves on interest rates, the taps have 'suddenly' been closed. And, apparently, there was no ... real plan (even though they hired a CFO back in 2021 and have been signaling plans to IPO since around that time).

Of course, this underscores the stupidity of the whole thing. Given that THE 'google-hack du jour' is adding reddit to search terms (with articles in MSM showing up since at least Jan 2022) AND the value of Reddit's 'corpus' (as Huffman himself put it back in April) to companies like GOOGLE (trying to not only build ChatGPT-style ML, but relevant up-to-date search capabilities based around ChatGPT-style 'agents'), you'd think they'd be able to convert these stories into reasonable financial health and successful IPO w/o wading into brand-destroying PR debacles...

... but, apparently not.
And the prefab modules are all from different manufacturers who follow different standards.
Honestly, good. Protest is fine and good, but what exactly are we protesting for here? The rights of a minority of users to freeride on a platform that gave them ten years of free API access? The right of third party app developers to make practically 100% margin on apps whose backend Reddit pays for?

The initial announcement and AMA were ham-fisted, to be sure, but at this point these protests are getting ridiculous. Tens of millions of people are prevented from enjoying their communities because a quixotic crusade of a literal handful of moderators? These people rule their little online fiefdoms with an iron fist, and the entire internet suffers. If I were in charge of Reddit I'd replace them, too.
Depends, if your goal is to increase the value of your ad sells not necessarily.

But the point is really that there are plenty of options, and instead of attempting any of those Cs just went with api euthanasia.
lol. who do you think does the hard work of keeping the subs clean? agree that some mods could be scumbags but to generalize to all mods is a stretch. reddit without good mods is a guaranteed shit show

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, “Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again.”
While it's good that you acknowledge the limitations and don't lie about things, at the same time, I'm getting anxious feelings from realizing you're also not telling me I'm completely off-base.

I really wanted to love Tilt5, both because of your background and because it's not an ad-riddled megacorp backing it. And I'm an XR maximalist--VR and AR have been the focus of my career for the last 7, 8 years. But at this point, for most of the things I could do with T5, I'd have a better experience mounting a projector on my ceiling.

I just... I don't know. I don't understand why you ever released this product. It wreaks of "yet another
naive startup got ripped off by a some factory in China". I saw the posts about the difficulties you all had with getting the manufacturing right. And this is a common thread from everyone I've ever talked to who off-shores manufacturing. It's just frustrating that nobody in the startup consumer electronics space seems to be paying attention to any of the other consumer electronics startups. Was it a case of hubris? "Yes, but we are special and this won't happen to us?"

On the controllers, I'd almost rather have a nose pointer and a small, hand-held clicker button. I actually have several already: they are basically Bluetooth keyboards that have a single button that sends the Enter or Space key.

I wish I had many more options for pads. They don't seem like the expensive part of the BOM. IDK, maybe I'm underestimating the cost of bonding retro reflective paint to cardboard. But it seems silly to have to choose between pad sizes while purchasing. Just give both the small and large size pads.

I got the large one and it's really too large for single-person use. I also don't have a table that fits it. My coffee table is long enough, but not wide enough. My dinner table is wide enough, but way too long. Not a lot of square tables out there.

Better yet, be able to support multiple pads at the same time and create a system for mounting pads on the wall. I could see creating a desk setup where I have the desk top and the wall behind the desk as retro reflector pads. It'd make my whole desk into a stereo tank. Get rid of my monitors completely and not be strained trying to where a tyoical VR headset all day.

I'd probably get more use out of a ridiculously large pad that I could setup against the wall in my living room than the current, awkwardly-sized pad that I basically have to use on my floor.

And I'd immediately stop putting any effort into plugging multiple devices into a single PC. It's a hack that fixes things only on paper. Where am I going to put this PC so that all the players can sit around the board and not sweep their drinks off the table or yank the cable out? Who even has a PC powerful enough to run that many independent views (2 per person!) but XR enthusiasts like me who already have other, much more capable devices?

That was the point I was attempting to get across. Single core computers multitask fine, which proves that concurrency is not the same thing as parallelism.

Even in modern times, we have something like the first generation raspberry pi zero, it has a single ARM core, and it multitasks fine.
HN readers are 1-2-5 years ahead what happens in the market. you can tell a lot of things that are coming down the pipe if you pay attention on HN. Once the "nerds" give up on reddit it will be an uphill battle to keep the site viable.

Didn't the original Part D Medicare back in the Bush Administration have no-negotiation as part of that massive giveaway to drug companies?

You know, if they attached a 5 year no negotiation to a Medicare-for-All bill, it might pass the house and senate. I mean, if PartD passes in the height of the Bush Administration....
I really enjoyed this back-and-forth -- so much that I agreed with all of the comments on both sides, as I read them! (Not an intellectually consistent position, I admit.)
There are some platforms like Discourse which allow you to use OAuth. That's a reasonable setup I think, if you don't care about linking your real identity (or you just make a dummy account).
I don't think pex/dht operate on 'well known' ports. in fact, I think most clients are configured to randomize the port they use on each startup.

most every client comes with a list of 'bootstrap peers' for dht though.

they are protesting the high/unreasonable API price out of nowhere
“Sandboxing” was the wrong word to use; I was referring to what they call “mitigations”. Following through a few links, you can end up at https://github.com/thejh/linux/blob/slub-virtual/MITIGATION_... which describes what it all actually is. I was figuring that sandboxing was probably close enough as a description, and maybe more easily understood, but that wasn’t wise. I’ve changed it to use their wording.
They're trying to get money from people using their API, which is like demanding a cut from people selling maps of Times Square (which are better than the official ones).
I'd like to see a source for this. Even if they do run older kennels, it doesn't mean they're missing patches. Google has significant involvement in security and enough engineers to roll their own systems. I don't expect they'd be missing any relevant patches, much less for years. (I know this was an older patch in this case, but they did mention other mitigations, so it may have been a considered choice not to backport)

Given how large they are as a target, we'd also hear about them being exploited all the time if that was true.

You are really showing your ignorance. Any cygwin packages marked mingw64 do not rely on the cygwin DLL for build time or run time.
Why shouldn't they? The mods own nothing. One would think that lesson would be learned by now.
If you don't pay for it, it's not your community. Again and again people think they get something for free, which they don't. If it's free you're a volunteer for the company, if you pay you're a customer.

Return issue seems like VSCode specific? Does it manifest in Sublime?

You also lose time on double checking typos in the term command (and it's harder to focus since unlike front&center palette this command is tucked away at the bottom), except you have no additional validation from a preselected set, so you need to remember the full command invocation precisely

And you can add special unique symbols to command names to make search unambiguous

You also get a hint re keyboard shortcut, unlike with the term command, so if you execute it often enough, you might switch to a faster and more predictable method
I guess she knew what companies will attend and did her homework of the possible representatives (usually higher-ups from sales, marketing, CEO obviously, depends on the size of company as well). If the sector is small enough you can even do your homework on the key leaders as they will most likely be there, especially if it's THE event you should be if you're activating in that sector.
Reddit is just where a community posted up. Reddit is free-riding off the efforts of the community, it is a lopsided arrangement. Reddit is not a challenging software platform to replicate, there are already platforms ready to be migrated to.

They are biting the hand that feeds them, and if the community decides to leave Reddit has no value proposition anymore. They think they are the community, but they are just where the community lives for now.

Wait is it built in to support co op ?
That's not my read. I read that they've found a bunch of exploits in io_uring but are only willing to talk publicly about previously disclosed ones, like the one fixed by backporting to 5.10. Just because they used that as an example doesn't mean they're refusing to backport security fixes. It just means they don't want to talk about exploits they found in newer kernels, which is understandable.
Sorry, that's @lovyan03 if you were looking to follow up.
The question to ask is "why are mods taking down the whole site for a tiny app"

almost every company does not allow direct competitors in their platform. I m not even sure about the apps they are "cooperating" with. Down the road, one of them may end up reselling reddit content and come into conflict again.

The fact that reddit made poor decisions in the past should not stop them from making the right decisions now. Unfortunately though they still dont seem to have a good plan
NextJS sends all JS to the frontend even if it's static and server rendered. It renders once on the server, sends a React+JS bundle to the client, and re-renders the whole page on the client (which is exactly the same). As far as I could tell, there's no mechanism for Next.JS to say "this isn't dynamic" and send only HTML content. If there's a setting I missed, feel free to let me know.
I think there is a GNU/Linux distro which can do that. Not sure whether it was KDE Neon or some feature of Framework laptops or another one, but they had a video where they plugged the phone onto a screen and were aber to use both.

> That was caused by your baby, not by the devices.

It was both. The earphones we were wearing meant we couldn’t hear a word the other was saying, irrespective of whether we’d wake up the baby. The Vision Pro has speakers on the side of it too.

I guess I’m not a huge fan of the wall space wasted on my TV but I can’t say it bothers me enough that I want my entire family to strap a headset across our faces every time we want to watch something. Cables coming out the back, a two hour battery life… I’m not doubting the Vision Pro will have uses but I cannot imagine it being a preferable movie-watching experience than a TV.
