Running on standard replaceable batteries is definitely a feature and not an “outdated design”, especially when it comes to sustainability. And for some devices you can also have both replaceable batteries and charging ports (e.g. some cameras offer that). But yeah, I guess wireless Xbox controllers can’t be charged directly.

> Reddit has granted a pass for some apps on this basis though.

But with two major caveats. This is only for non-profit apps, which excludes almost all of them. For Android there is only RedReader now and for iOS there are Luna and Dystopia left.

And still without any NSFW content.
Yeah without the data being added to a blockchain to automatically sync to my multiple devices, I'mma say no to this.
> Would Assassin's Creed Valhalla exist if we had 100 clones of Assassin's Creed III?

Maybe not, but we would have 100 other games that may have expanded the genre further.
The example sounds like a quite basic insight into algorithmic complexity or complexity of lookup operation of data structures. A linked list is fine, if you need or want to go through the entries sequentially anyway, but if you need random access, then you probably want something different. I can tell that without ever having looked at something like Quake's console commands implementation. However, it might have been the case, that there were not that many commands anyway, so that the linked list did not noticably slow things down.
I thought the same of Prehistoric Planet and it didn't sit right with me. How can they glean so much off fragments of fossils. Most is just an artistic interpretation of their behaviours and characteristics.
I think that safety claims re: nuclear are a bit oversold by some, but when the alternative is increased deaths from particular emissions from burning fossil fuels I still find myself leaning nuclear.

e.g. Germany having decided to accelerate its nuclear powerplant shutdowns gets estimated (https://www.nber.org/papers/w26598) at leading to around 1100 additional deaths per year.
I don’t think so. I’ve seen other instances mentioning a lot of spam bots as well.
Apollo had a slew of widgets for a variety of use cases. In fact the Apollo dev was quick to jump on many of the new ios APIs and had many nifty little features that will never make it to the official app.

Guess it’s all a moot point by now.

~$240k AUD, (ex-)CTO at a company that recently got acquired, and just got told I'm now redundant (not really a surprise, no need for 2 CTOs).

~8 years at the company (joined very early on as a software engineer), would average around 80+ hours at the beginning because it was fun and interesting, mellowed down to 40 once we grew, and now just doing what's needed to get the handover stuff written and attend meetings that I'm still useful in.
common Lisp has such great implementations and tooling, it's a bummer that it's hamstrung by its ecosystem.

as an example I was working on a project that needed to use active directory for auth. i found a kerberos CL lib that someone had made just for that purpose years ago, but the windows KDC no longer accepted the encryption algorithm that the CL lib used.

meanwhile i was able to get up and running with clojure by leaning on java's builtin security packages, which include kerberos support. and i know that code will not break in the future.
> Probably, unless they all had the budget to create a shit ton of new assets and replace the old ones.

Isn't that what we're getting from AI generated content?

Note, I'm not saying that a random person will create something better. I'm just saying there might be a risk of saturating the market if you can play 100 versions of the same game for free.

You are over appreciating the geek's willingness to toil on assets and make up a compelling storyline :)

Not that Ubisoft games are worth playing, but for a single player game at least it can be much worse.
> basically not owned by you, but the service.

It's shared ownership. You own it, but give Twitter non-exclusive permission to also use it.

This is why news agencies request permission from a twitter account before sharing a picture they took.

> Why would an AI company start scraping twitter html, instead of using an already existing archive?

I can think of a few possible reasons. They might want more up-to-date info, or they might have no real developers and the scraper was created by a business guru who prompted ChatGPT and didn't understand the code that came out.

Given what else Musk has asserted about Twitter, and how often former or current Twitter devs have contradicted him, it may not even be what Musk said.

> Twitter is not higher quality data than any other web page

Eh, depends how much you can infer from retweet, favourites, etc.

Won't be the only such site, but it's probably better training data than blog posts are these days.

But yeah, I absolutely agree that Twitter doing this caused a lot of damage to any orgs, corporate or government, which wanted to be public, anything from restaurants announcing special offers to governments issuing hurricane warnings. Twitter isn't big enough to assume everyone has an account, like Facebook is.
TIL that a 6502 didn’t have division and remainder instructions. Yikes.
Do you still read article from Reddit when you search for information?
Was just on his website last month to see that he was up to his usual activities and read a couple papers. (His explanation of bicubic pixel resampling is on of the more intuitive ones)

It appears he knew something might have gone wrong around the end of May, in which he asks readers to archive his work:

>A situation has limited our ability to post daily news and reduced our ability to provide new content. We hope to continue as best we can and have added three sysops. We are also working on providing new phone shortcuts.

>Meanwhile, please upload as many of our files to the widest possible range of historical archive preservation sites. as you can.

>Backup 128 GB USB copies remain available on our abeja eBay site.
I can imagine that this may be harder than it seems.

- Most modern consumer-grade chips and SoCs have proprietary specs and closed-sourced drivers. It can be difficult to obtain drivers suitable for mainlining into Linux.

- The automotive industry seems a good place to source parts with open specs. But for reasons I don’t understand, they seem to cling to absurdly old process sizes.

- Higher-specced chipsets would potentially eat into profit margins even more, even though ongoing app/drivers/OS development is already expensive enough.

Mostly speculation on my end but I think there are reasons for choosing lower-end specs somewhere in that zone.
Well it likely isn't true [1]. Musk seems to come across more and more as a perpetual liar.

It all boils down to what do you know in terms of languages and how good a quality of libraries you can find.

IBKR is kind of an elitistic VIP club, not just anyone can gain access. Thus you won't find a lot of libraries. There's a good number of them but the quality is not great.

I always wanted to learn OCaml by the way but in my current life and career phase I still can't justify the time and energy expenditure, and I know it will be significant.
Using JS would have broken the threat model of the dark web chatroom. So it is a non starter in that context.
Narwhal has found a way to make it work, will be 2-7 a month. The pitchforks are up but I love Reddit as a community so I’m happy we have something.
The know how to make a game is free knowledge with paid education add-ons... we figured out the broad strokes.

Smaller tech leaps in client-side game software is difficult to protect from instant duplicaton. The cloud and mobile is the 'last moat'.

Are we going to move into black box software designs and trusted platform modules in hardware to enforce a technology moat for devs on pc's?

Depends what part of game development you are referring to.

Game engine development? Sure.

Game development using engine? 99% didn't change.
Cloud Run Jobs https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/quickstarts/jobs/create-ex... would come to mind. Managed Docker containers that run as jobs to completion.

I think it will be sort of interesting to see what AI scraping does to the open internet.

I think that we are already putting too much content into Social Media platforms (HN included). Stuff that we sort of ought to self host because then we would actually own it. But will you even want to run your own sites publicly if they are getting scraped? I guess it’s it really a new issue as such, but I imagine it’ll only get worse as the LLM craze continues to rise.
The thing is it can be used to get rid of the tedious and error-prone busywork. Instead of having highly paid accountants manually type monetary amounts into SAP, the accountants can now just look over and check if the AI was accurate in transcription.
Precisely, which brings us back around to the question: why are social media companies really doing this?

I think "AI is takin' ooor contents!" is a convenient excuse to tighten the screws further. Having a Boogeyman in the form of technology that's already under worried discussion by press and politicians is a great way to convince users how super-super-serious the problem must be, and to blow a dog whistle at other companies to indicate they should so the same.

It's no coincidence that the first two companies to do this so actively and recently are both overvalued, not profitable, and don't actually directly produce any of the content on their platforms.
But you can buy verified twitter accounts starting from $0,035 per pc.
I really don't understand how can it pose any serious roadblock for scrapers.
Things like the sparkline charts on npmjs (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/npm ) are interactive SVGs. I think they're pretty common for data visualizations of all kinds
> If you've learnt all that, you can learn to use more.

From my experience, at least in Europe, companies are paying the most for people who can "hit the ground running", i.e. being able to contribute from day one - both in terms of code as well design/architecture decisions. That neccesitates knowing their exact tech stack.
You haven't been able to look at anything but the /explore endpoint for weeks without an account, and the "content" on there has been total garbage.

I was relieved when they started asking for an account this week because now I'll finally be able to break my habit of navigating to Twitter to "see what's happening" only to find a bunch of sports memes, pop music drama, or right-wing trolls pretending like Hunter Biden is the most nefarious person on the planet.

Imo, Elon is lying and he locked everything down for PR so he would make a headline and frame it like his site's content is _so valuable_ that he just had to take drastic measures to stop AI from training on it.
A Quake clone written in Haskell [1] suggests that it is quite possible. That's just one of the games listed on [2], along with game engines and libraries.

Yes you can count the number of letters in the grid, but it's normal in most puzzles in other newspapers to have the solution lengths after the clue.

This is important with multi-word answers because 14 spaces could be a 14-letter word, or a single letter followed by 13, or 2 letters followed by 12 and so on. In cryptics (which this isn't, really), knowing the letter distribution in multi word answers is essential to it being a pleasant and fun puzzle in my experience.

That would have prevented this trick working, because you would have to give the length as (7, 7) for "CLINTON ELECTED" or (3, 4, 7) for "BOB DOLE ELECTED" depending on the "right" answer.

Omitting the lengths allowed this little game to work. It would not have, otherwise.
They absolutely do. What are you even saying?
Beautiful (parenthese tree), powerful, energy efficient (http://greenlab.di.uminho.pt/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/pape...), standardized, battle-tested, and with a glorious past, Lisp reminds me of Gollum's "the precious" ring in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" series, and just like the ring, it can make one invisible just by using it too. Maybe it's one of those "precious" tools out there, being the best or not.
What kind of mitm? The attacker cannot modify what you get. You leak the list of packages you download, but I don't think https by itself would have helped — host and filesize would be known, and that should be enough.
> Reddit permalinks disappearing is is the very reason for the phrase, not proof that it's wrong

Cool URIs don't change was written in 1998 and Reddit was launched in 2005...?
I'm actually glad too that these corporate platforms decided to self-immolate. Alternatives are there and they are much more healthy.
This seems to be a very common sentiment that is not stated that clearly often, but it makes me very sad to read it.

The magic of the internet, once upon a time, was discovering content in your own time. You stumbled into that cool niche forum, found someone’s personal blog, a flash game page. It didn’t need big centralised services to be fun.

Internet users have become consumers and want to be fed content. I do not understand this sentiment at all. It feels like we are all addicted to the easy dopamine kicks of scrolling Reddit/Facebook/Twitter now.
Thanks for writing it -- interesting. I did have to tone down the headline a bit, people tell me off for posting El Reg headlines verbatim :-|
What I would love to see is a browser extension that recognises when you are browsing a Lemmy instance and allows you to seamlessly interact with it from your "home" instance.
Elder scrolls games are very moddable and people have made total conversions and map extensions. That didn't prevent the sales of newer TES games based on slightly improved engines and slightly better assets (fan-made assets are often still ahead of the official ones, but it takes years of refinement to get to that point).

Disturbing facts about ProtonMail (2021)
My naive guess is lack of a good package repository. CPAN made Perl great, even if the language was not to everyone’s taste. Node/npm made javascript huge. Pypi picking up binary wheels made python the obvious choice for any data-heavy project.

Is there even a central common lisp package repository?
Huh? That doesn't seem right. We absolutely have ambitious games on pc that bring generational leaps in graphical fidelity.

Like the Witcher 3, which was absolutely stunning when it first released.
Similarly (although originally a console exclusive) Red Dead Redemption 2 looks incredible on PC.
We also have releases like Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice which pushed the limit of what was possible to achieve with limited resources (regarding the development, not the hardware).

Honorable mentions should probably also include Star Citizen, which although still unreleased is definitely an incredibly technically ambitious project.
As is Cyberpunk 2077. The launch might have been a total disaster, but afaik it's the first big game to ship a full ray-tracing renderer.

Maybe we have a different understanding of what a 'technically ambitious' game is. But I see technical improvements left and right. Unreal Engine 5 comes with some features that are just mind-blowing and make a whole new level of graphical fidelity available even to small indie developers. Just take a look at the recently released footage of "Unrecord", where lots of people thought it was real life footage.
I have one Reddit account that allows me to log into it but won’t let me do anything without providing an email address. The account is over 10 years old but the request for an email address happened about the time they announced the new charges for accessing their api. I am not certain there is a cause and effect but there certainly is a time line correlation. I can easily see them blocking unregistered user access which is essentially what a non-email address account is.
Twitter can delete the post without your consent, so you don't really own it.

How does that even work though. "Hit the ground running"? It takes me months to get into a codebase and such a small thing as get it to build might be a multiple week hurdle if the guy you replace is gone.
Why is it twitter that is “stingy” and not the people scrapping so they don’t have to pay?
I learned a lot from Chuck Moore's designs; for instance he assumes that you know how to build multiply given a multiplication step instruction, or the full set of logic ops given just and and xor. (which comes on top of the traditional forth punning of logical and bitwise booleans)

Oh, I hate those with burning passion.

Beyond the waste they generate (there's often more packaging there, by mass, than the actual condiment inside), they're a huge pain to open. In my experience, 70-80% of those require applying considerable force to tear them open. This turns from hard to impossible if your hands got greasy, like they tend to get when e.g. you're mid-way through eating your fast food meal, and need to add some extra sauce. Out of those 7-8 per 10, there's always that one that won't give, no matter what, and I have to fish for some sharp object to puncture it with.

No, perforations don't help - half of the packet types I've seen don't have them, and those that do, usually the perforation is made a bit too high and tears off without opening the packet. No, it's not just brute strength that's needed - it must be precisely applied, or you'll spill half of the condiment on yourself. And no, one isn't enough, you need to open 2-3 to get some reasonable amount of sauce for a serving. Multiply this by amount of people sitting at the table, since I end up opening their packets for them (see: strength requirements), and I hope you can see where my frustration is coming from.

I'm actually considering getting back to having a knife always with me, just so that I have something to open those packets with - now that pandemic is "over" and I end up dealing with them semi-frequently again.
My impression is that ignoring legit calls usually signals a PD too under-staffed to respond to all calls, or a policy decision higher up.

What is really interesting to me is Sync for reddit (arguably the best of the Android 3rd party reddit offerings) is back in 2 weeks with Sync for Lemmy.

If he can use his UI skills to give the level of quality that Sync offered, packaged with Reddit users in mind, I think this will absolutely solve this.
Good thing that you don't have to use their service then !
