I've worked on both. There's a lot of overlap. In fact I've seen quite a few board game designers tap out of the industry recently due to various frustrations and burnout. I haven't really made a name for myself yet in board games, but I also tapped out (and started focusing on making video games again) because there are a lot of frustrations in board games:

- Convincing a publisher to sign your game takes a lot of marketing skill that an engineer like myself isn't used to, it can be harder than finding an audience of players, since you have to set up a meeting for each one person you're trying to convince to give your game a chance

- Or your can go Kickstarter, but then you're committing to basically being a publisher yourself, and not designing/developing games

- Board game publishers are also having a rough time since there's been so many issues and sudden surprises with shipping because of the pandemic. That's calmed down a bit but it's still putting publishers in a precarious state, and they tend to have fairly thin margins to begin with.

- Board game designers also tend not to get paid very well unless they land on an evergreen title, like Dominion, Ticket to Ride, etc, and/or have a constant pipeline of games (which takes making great relationships with publishers and convincing them to sign a bunch of games you churn out) and people in the industry in general tend to get paid less (can be 50% less) than the already underpaid people in the video game industry. I keep looking at salaries in job postings and going "No way I could take that much of a pay cut, as much as I'd probably enjoy the work more"

I know one guy that worked on a game for two years, made a game that was successful by the publisher's standards (it was in Barnes and Noble) and only received $9,000 in royalties ($18k split in half with a designer). He quit and started a marketing company and is a lot happier now. A few others I know are taking long breaks because they're just burnt out from the constant grind.

That being said I did have a burst of motivation a few months ago and designed a few small games and tried pitching them at a board game convention this past weekend. One meeting (with the largest publisher, even) went pretty well, the others didn't.

If nothing else, I can always code a web version of the games and release them without needing a publisher, eventually, or at least make Tabletop Simulator versions of the games.
No, but if you take something like affirmative action (a classic boogeyman of the right), it's possible for everyone to have reasonable but contradictory views:

The right would say: discrimination on race/gender is wrong, and so affirmative action is wrong.

The left would say: historical injustices have left certain people with significant systemic disadvantages, and our systems need to actively correct for that to achieve a fair society.

I think both are reasonable places to come from, and more importantly come from a place of positive intent. But also lead to contradictory actions.
Huh, interesting. Never noticed. Might have something to do with pretty regularly using actual serial terminals. I don't know how the testing under Mac OS X affects it -- I only run it under Linux and OpenBSD, on OS X I just use the OS X terminal. Anyway, `st` does its job for me!

"Worst" for me is stuff that grabs keys it shouldn't, scrolling that doesn't work right with `screen` and/or `tmux`, etc.
It actually doesn't violate the laws of physics. Matter with negative mass has never been observed before, making it purely theoretical. Theoretical basis!

Besides, exotic matter is a shortcut to the energy required, not a necessary part of the Alcubierre drive.
It is an exception but specialized technical expertise can definitely bill out that high to the US government. (source: I've billed out higher)
So I guess it's time to disconnect from the internet, at least your PC b/c you can't be certain it's not used as a vpn/proxy service through an exploit or rough app.
It's going to be extremely annoying if Plex goes out of business.
You're right that most lawyers don't work in biglaw and handle complex matters. But if you're trying to sell tech to lawyers, you're going to think about whether you would be able to sell to biglaw lawyers, who would be the most lucrative customers. If you cannot, you might build the product anyway and try to sell downmarket. But many would be discouraged from trying to build the business at all, since so much of the profit would have come from the whales at the top of the market.

Can also happen due to hiring developers from those environments.

I worked for a company that tasked some developers who'd previously worked for a phone manufacturer to add a feature to disable location services. In review it was noticed that they implemented something that told the user it was disabled but still sent the location back but with a location disabled flag set. When the privacy concern was raised with the developer they responded that this is how its always done.
Don't you think an unpaid internship is an opportunity to learn and network; an opportunity inaccessible to those of lesser means?
Yes, this is true, and I was not in a position of needing to know, so likely wouldn't have been privy. This is also what warrant canaries are for.
Japan has 3x the population of Canada (125 million vs 38 million). The corridor from Toronto to Quebec is about (eyeballing this) 50% of Japan's land area, with the greater metro areas of Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Calgary probably adding up to another 15-25% of Japan's land area. If you had Japanese style land use you could fit 2-3x more people in the existing large metro areas of Canada

good spot :)

I'll fix it.
I've never been PIP'd, but if I were, I would absolutely leave the company.

If I were put there for good reason, then the fact that I'm performing poorly and wasn't able to correct before management felt the need to address it is a pretty much ironclad indication that I'm a poor fit there.

If I were put there for a bad reason -- well, that speaks for itself. I'm not wanted.

In either case, whether I quit or not, my days at the company are clearly numbered. Better to get out right away than to suffer the humiliation of remaining.

I imagine the bulk of your data is collected when you show up for the blood draw. You have a really nice site, but should defiantly try to find and work with a more ethical and trustworthy lab. On the plus side, when they sold your data they probably had a lot of nice things to say about your intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes!
But wouldn't this be more appropriately termed IaaS (infrastructure as a service) than serverless?
I like to consider just listing as many alternatives as I could manage, in order of decreasing likelihood (as per my personal estimation):

1) Some kind of psy-ops from within our own government, meant to mess with a different government or a branch of our own government. Maybe its own citizens. You can get eleven-dimensional chess with this pretty quickly.

2) We have grabbed someone else's UAVs. Maybe China, maybe Russia.

3) We have grabbed the UAVs of an unsuspected party which a surprise technological edge we would never expect: the Wakanda Hypothesis. We don't even know that we're in a game and that we're losing.

...

N-3) Aliens have emerged from local gas giants and are curious about us. Jupiter? Saturn? Neptune? And so on. Probably not Pluto.

N-2) Generation ships or "sleepers" from another solar system are on some sort of grand tour of the Orion Arm, working their way out. We've been noticed and the occupants awakened. Aliens? AI? Maybe there is no difference by then.

N-1) Aliens within a light sphere about 0.45 * (First UFO Year - 1895) heard our radio and really hustled to get here with a hefty blueshift.

N) The captured vessels are either FTL-capable or brought here on a larger ship with such capabilities. All bets are off.

There is another possibility which I think is often ignored, after #3. It's sci-fi, but it isn't physics-breaking the way FTL is. What if the craft are from a parallel earth? I dislike it, but not as much as I dislike FTL. It doesn't even require aliens. A parallel history where we got the ball rolling even a few decades earlier might end up with a civilization a hundred or a thousand years ahead of ours. I wouldn't bet money on anything higher than #2 on my list, but I still think that if we are going to conjecture about aliens, we might as well do parallel Earths, too.

I’m guessing you can’t elaborate lol
I like your analogy of gym membership to other VPN providers!

If I may use analogy to describe UpVPN - its like buying Milk - you pay upfront you bring it home consume it and go to grocery store and buy more.

UpVPN is an option in spectrum of VPN providers. Only you can determine based on your usage if this option makes sense for you.

What UpVPN does provide (unlimited devices without subscription and your never expiring balance stays if you come back months later) other providers do not. And vice-versa UpVPN for its pricing model does not provide unlimited usage.
There are other videos that reverse engineer from what we do know, the flight path of the "ufo" and that it matches the track of another plane 30mi away.

Maybe you’re thinking of Mies van der Rohe? His rectangular glass façades feel a lot more omnipresent in today’s architecture than Le Corbusier.
> git is distributed, we use git as well and it is irreplaceable. The hosting platform till now has been centralized and prone to censorships due to the jurisdiction it was based in for eg US sanctions. A decentralized platform that uses a blockchain provides censorship resistance out of the box.

This is an argument in favor of decentralizing, and I'm 100% in agreement. However, you haven't really explained what the blockchain layer is providing here that couldn't be accomplished with git's native ability to be a distributed VCS. There's a lot of overhead introduced by adding a blockchain—extra development time, extra code to maintain, extra CPU work (even with PoS). In order to persuade a technical audience to use your tool, you have to explain what value all that complexity is bringing!

Put another way: I can have a distributed, censorship-resistant VCS by self-hosting Forgejo and mirroring repos that I like and want to help keep online. If a tool like Foregjo could encode the issue tracker and other meta information inside the .git folder, it could even make those aspects distributed, without all the complexity inherent in a blockchain. Given that, what does blockchain bring to the table?
But I cannot order this test myself from NMS, right?

A real eye opener regarding this has been the ongoing war in Ukraine. For some reason I always had this picture of war being people constantly hiding in bunkers, looting and stealing in a sort of apocalyptic doomsday prepper way, whoever remains working in tank factories around the clock, that sort of thing.

But no, their entire country is being blown up on a daily basis, apartments being hit by cruise missiles, streets being shelled and people just go to work and school or whatever like it's business as usual. I guess in the end, what else can you really do? Life is banal.

Like if the imminent threat of grisly death doesn't get people to stop living in a society then literally nothing else will. Not aliens, not AGI, not the return of Jesus, not even everyone magically turning into frogs. Well ok that last one might do it.
Er, this is easy. By the time it rotates 90 degrees, it's upside down. So, two full turns.
At the time, baking products and breakfast cereals were also their main products. Quite a surprise to see them there.

That said, they had a history of inventing new machines, like the extruders that make puffy breakfast cereal.
The lesson for me, as a software engineer / software architect, is that a dogmatic architecture can be inspiring, possibly showing possibilities beyond just simply grounded practical approaches can't easily, but also can be impractical and terrible. Believing that one has complete information and the complete control over everything is hubris. But big thinking can inspire also.
Evidence so far is that plasma and blood donations can remove it slowly.

> Financial transactions often need to be processed in the order they were initiated.

And then the banks send you info in batches and out of order :) This happened to us more than once. So the team responsible wouldn't settle/cancel a payment for X even if bank said so. They would read a few other sync batches yo make sure that nothing else changed for X.

Because "Financial transactions need to be processed in the order they were initiated" is a must :)
> I don't remember any cases of 68K software performing better on 68K macs than under emulation on PPC ones - ...

There were situations:

> The 603 was intended to be used for portable Apple Macintosh computers but could not run 68K emulation software with performance Apple considered adequate, due to the smaller processor caches. As a result, Apple chose to only use the 603 in its low-cost desktop Performa line.[12][13] This caused the delay of the Apple PowerBook 5300 and PowerBook Duo 2300, as Apple chose to wait for a processor revision. Apple's use of the 603 in the Performa 5200 line led to the processor getting a poor reputation.

- from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_600#PowerPC_603

(The original PowerPC 601 had a 32KB unified cache, the problematic 603 had separate 8KB I- and D-caches, and the "problem-fix" 603e had separate 16KB I- and D-caches. My recollection is that the 68K emulation software was developed for and on the 601, and relied on some clever lookup and/or jump tables fitting into that CPU's large - for the time - L1 cache.)
The CLI tool will support encoding/decoding any valid UUID, whether v1, v4, or v7. We picked v7 as the definition of the spec, because we need to choose one of them when generating a new random ID, and our opinion is that by default, that should be v7.

We might add a warning in the future if you decode/encode something that is not v7, but if it suits your use-case to encode UUIDv4 in this way, go for it. Just keep in mind that you'll lose the locality property.
Most companies call a significant amount of their SWE work as R&D. R&D isn’t always “inventing totally new things” but rather closer to “an investment of resources in which there is some amount of novelty and for which the outcome is uncertain”. A lot of SWE qualifies for that, even software that we’d consider fairly mundane and un-exciting.
Yeah he seems like an idiot. Don't care. We need to protect the ability for people to say crazy and unpopular things or the power will be abused to censor people who aren't crazy, just unpopular. Which is already happening.

Ignaz Semmelweis was persecuted in the medical community for his insane idea that doctors working in maternity wards should wash their hands and he later died in a pysch ward from his mental breakdown over it. If it happened today he would have been banned from YouTube too.

We're not post-science, in 2020 people were ridiculed and banned from social media for saying covid came from a lab and that's a pretty accepted theory now. I'm sick of only hearing popular opinions that are run by as brand-friendly from banks and payment processors. I want to hear from people who say things that aren't popular.

Modern architecture and urban design are such a disaster. If any single person is responsible its probably him. Overly intellectual approaches that are striking on paper, sometimes also striking when realized, but not livable and don't age well.
> classic human-centered thinking to suppose that aliens would be regularly appearing a few thousand feet or so from us, but never ever anywhere in the rest of the billions of miles of our solar system

One, rich humans sometimes like to go see exotic wildlife, why wouldn't aliens?

Two, how would we know if there were aliens looking around other places?

> and never clearly interacting with our physical world in any way

> It's not as much as "celebrating someone's death" (you can't really celebrate the death of someone you didn't know even existed...

I have seen many posts wishing elon and zuckergerg would also make a similar trip in this same context, not just celebrating but begging for more bloodshed.

> Well, something that might add context for you is that a lot of people already think the future for society is very, very bleak; and they think that the ones to blame are just like the ones in the submarine, specially the CEO. So it's no wonder there's not much empathy going around for them.

B.s.! Everyone making such posts is living in the best time to be alive in human history and most of them in developed countries which at a global scales makes them the filthy rich people! To me these are all spoilied rich brats with iphones whining about billionaires because they hate their shitty lives. In a way they earn their misery by showing their true hateful and pessimistic nature. Their parents voted badly and they vote badly and then blame anyone but themselves in this democracy. Can't even blame billionaires controlling the media because everyone has a smartphone now. They all stay in their bubbles and hate each other and everyone outside that bubble and blame anyone but themselves.
They’re right.
I don't think that's sharpie. It's very uniform. In some of the images, it's done per word for adjacent words—who would do that by hand, making all the intricate rounded corners? And in some, the censored areas overlap, and the overlapping area is transparent (like a Venn diagram), which suggests it was done digitally. I don't think it's physically possible to achieve that effect by hand, at least not without being extremely deliberate.

Which begs the question, if this was done digitally, did nobody look at the result? Nobody saw that the redacted text was easily still readable?

From the look of it, it's like they used a tool for highlighting, with the color set to something dark.

Without being too much of a conspiracy theorist, it almost seems like this was an intentional leak. Hanlon's razor and everything, but it wouldn't really be "malice" if they were trying to either sow false information or reveal details that they wanted to make seem like they were trying to keep private.
It's the same reason that US tax payers still have to file their W2 taxes, even though the InternalRevenueService knows (within a few dollars) exactly what is due.

COMPLIANCE, Slave... because they CAN.
It's an attempt to poison the well of leftist discourse by co-opting and inverting its terminology, rendering it self-defeating. It seems to be a common tactic by the right, and surprisingly effective. It's now all but impossible to use the word "woke" in good faith because it only communicates the pejorative images created by the right.

I've seen entire threads debating the meaning of "woke" and the vast majority of them were bad-faith definitions, and anyone mentioning the actual etymology or cultural context of the term would be shouted down and told they were simply incorrect. The sheer amount of aggression and effort that's been put into the destruction of this one word is fascinating to see.

Thank you for saying this. I don't consider myself some kind of 10x dev. Hell, most days I feel like a 0.1x dev. But, sometimes I can't help but feel like "everyone else" is doing it wrong.

The cargo cult has been wrong many times in the past, yet if you go against today's cargo cult, they act like you're insane. Do we not learn our lessons? Or at least accept that maybe today's "best practices" won't always be considered as such?

Let's keep in mind that if any of us had said anything about OOP being overrated in the 90s and 00s, we'd have been laughed out of the room. It was "obvious" that OOP was the best way to write reliable, maintainable, projects. Now, it's almost the opposite: it's super cool to write a blog post shitting on OOP (while almost never actually defining it...).

Likewise, it was "obvious" that statically typed programming languages were just tedious and getting in our way, so let's write everything in Python, Perl, and JavaScript. Except that now, most people seem to be in the opposite camp: it's all about Rust, Swift, TypeScript, etc.

I hate ORMs. Every single one I've tried feels like a bad abstraction and doesn't really do what I want.

For added, unrelated, controversy, I think Java's checked exceptions are a good language feature, and I absolutely don't care that the creator of C# did an interview 12 years ago declaring them bad. I'm vindicated every time I see someone praise Rust's Result type, or when I see someone write a TypeScript or Kotlin library that implements a Result/Either type. We're moving back toward statically declaring how a function may fail and trying to force the caller to deal with it. It's exactly the same as checked exceptions.

I have also seen some laughably bad and inefficient code written in non-functional languages just for the sake of writing in functional style, when it does absolutely nothing to actually increase the quality of the code/project. FP will absolutely be ridiculed in ten years, the same way OOP is being ridiculed today.
