There are games where there needs to be some investment, something at stake, for the game to be fun. Playing such a game on easy makes it less fun and eliminates the satisfaction of overcoming challenges. I wondered if this might be the case with factorio, so in my second year of playing it, I launched a deathworld map. Nope, it was just tedious as I thought it would be. Launched the rocket and never played with biters again.

The obvious missing piece is biter-clearance automation. The game is about increasing levels of automation. The next level after we get laser turrets and we get flying bots should be reaper drones with lasers that automatically patrol and eliminate biters within a large range. Also, I've put several thousand rockets into space (4K SPM baby), but I can't fire a nuclear weapon more than 54 meters?
Theres been plenty of extinction events that were far faster and vastly more destructive than even climate change from us humans. These events serve as opportunities to expose ecological niches to new species. Its all part of life on earth.
I appreciate the playful tone, it's good to be reminded of these pain points after the first few layers of skin and nerve endings have burned away.

On the flip side, I can throw a hungry junior dev with a new macbook into the deep end, and they can be productive within a day. They don't have to know anything about containers, .net, nginx, or the top 100 most common command line tools. When they hit an issue they can just google it.
Another cool place to visit is the RE-PC on 6th street in Seattle, where they have a small retro computer museum. Years ago I got to watch the old guy who ran the place boot the PDP-8 there by toggling the boot code from (his) memory using the switches on the front.

> This fixes the size of the array in the function signature

That's what an array is. Fixed size. If we want to talk about a slice of some runtime determined amount of a thing then we need fat pointers, and C doesn't provide any fat pointer types so it's not a surprise to find it can't do slices.

I think that there are current SEO practices that make sense that a search engine uses as a ranking signal, like accessibility (mobile friendliness, screen reader compatibility, +), time to load (performance, image optimization, no js bloat), security (https), no stuff appearing on top the content (modals), use of h tags and breadcrumbs to order content, srucured data for bots and more.

Of course people game the system, apply shady practices, sell courses with tips. It is a nuance topic, the name now is bastardized by marketing companies doing shady things, but on his core is just practices to create good websites and provide a good user experience

The % of the population who are immigrants is the highest it's ever been. You now have signs in 2 languages. The American south will be integrated into Hispanic culture, not the other way around.
The US has a native population. A people who founds a nation is by definition native. Anyone descended from the American colonists is native. The fact that we today don’t understand what these words actually mean doesn’t change that. Americans used to.

Interesting. It may be very possible the best management types work on refining their management skills -- not by writing blogs about it.

You can blame the evil competitor but the real problem is that credit cards are not the right tool for payments to strangers over the internet.

Every time I do a CC transaction I’m giving a stranger exactly the information they need to do an entirely different, arbitrarily large CC transaction in my name with any merchant. That’s bonkers.

I’ve recently seen more use of Apple Pay via websites. Assuming it works as Apple Pay usually does, this at least is technically more secure (though I don’t like giving Apple more power) since it’s basically an exchange of cryptographically secure/verifiable one time tokens.

PayPal is no one’s favorite but at least if you use that you’re not handing over your CC number. (And yet they seem to lock out tons of merchants, hmm)

Why are we still using credit cards? It’s not great as a consumer either - I have had my card locked for traveling within the same city and spending maybe $20 at a merchant I don’t usually visit. I had it locked because of a $5 web service monthly charge - and I had verified the same charge the two prior months.

My assertions and datapoints are all public info - it's basic subject matter knowledge for those who follow the space closely and realize actual data/trends horribly dismantles Zeihan's model that's mainly used to sell lectures and dinners to American exceptionalists. Again there's a reason he doesn't get airtime in "serious" think tank circles. At least Dalio, puts money where his mouth is vs Zeihan. And it's a little rich to point out wishful thinking on Dalio considering Zeihan's Stratfor/Friedman background that has been consistently wrong about East Asia.
Charitably reading his comment, I think he sees questions about a "foundation", "organization", etc as the thin edge of a wedge for people with political agendas.

As a response to "Is there a Nim foundation?" it can be interpreted as "No, and there won't be, and this is why..."

Having said that, I like Nim, but have advised against using it in important projects for exactly this issue: it has bus factor 1 (ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor ).
The grass looks greener because the article depicts a reality that follows TV plots and comics.

In practice teenagers are horny and will fuck around if they can, and their relationship can be as blurry. Same for adults going to bars and having one night stands, or ducking it out while drunk after a party and being in limbo trying to to sort it out for weeks afterwards.

Same for online dating of course, wanting to be sure the alchemy is there before mentally commiting isn't some culture's exclusive trait.

It's not about understanding, it's just that passwords require no dependencies. I don't need to carry special hardware or install special software to define a password. Even though I carry a Yubikey with me everywhere I go it's still a bit of a burden to pull it out and plug it into my phone or PC whenever I need to use it to login to something.
> the onus is on that group to integrate into their host country,

That's the belief. The reality is that the onus is not accepted and largely does not resolve for a couple generations. In the short term, the effect is obvious. Pure disruption from an economical and cultural perspective. A melting pot of the worst and best of both worlds. The worst effects necessarily dwarfing the short term benefits.

However, in the long term, a melting pot/diversity is believed to always be a net benefit. I'm not sure why the belief persists, other than convenience (can't really unmix populations after generations) and confirmation bias. Economies improve over time or nation economic models disappear, making it moot. I believe how a nation specifically deals with immigration has influenced the outcomes a great deal, for the better. Not dealing with immigration as a serious, ongoing concern, is a crap shoot.
This is yet another case of people saying "JavaScript" when they mean "a bunch of Node ecosystem junk". Right out of the gate:

> It’s time for your test. You are sitting in front of a computer. The test is simple: you have to open a package.json file and read it.

And it continues in that vein. For all the stuff mentioned, there's actually almost nothing that has anything to do with JS per se.

> GraalVM compiles Java applications ahead of time into standalone binaries that start up faster and use less memory and CPU than applications running on the standard OpenJDK JVM.

This feels like a win-win if folks move from OpenJDK 8 and 11 to 17, 20, and beyond.

Any immediate downsides? (Of course, best thing to do is measure it.)

Show HN: Easy self-rendering Markdown pages
This makes perfect sense. Especially in the age of AI. These programming puzzles are now rendered useless as the code can easily be thrown into ChatGPT for it to give the solution.

I also stand by asking for recent open source contributions to large projects (not hello world projects) as an alternative to those ridiculous programming puzzles [0] which not only it is irrelevant to the company, but it can be gamed and solved by an AI.

Both OSS bounties or asking for open source contributions for finding qualified candidates sounds like a better direction to go with for hiring genuine developers and not rote leetcoders trained at just passing the algorithms interview.

> 10 year relationship with Paypal and 7 year relationship with stripe

Not that the author is implying this, but don’t ever make the mistake of thinking that these numbers ever matter. It’s not 1973 and you don’t shake hands with your banker.

The only number that matters is the number of dollars going through Stripe or PayPal because of your business.

It's a funny thing. I think what you're saying is exactly right from the standpoint of a dev. As a mere consumer, if you support Steamdeck via Proton, then it sure feels to me like you're supporting Linux, but I get why you wouldn't officially say that.
Indeed why not try those things. People should be more open to new experiences as long as you're not hurting yourself or others. If you find that looking cattle prods makes you happy, more power to you
What, you'd rather spend that time working "for the man"? ;)

To be honest, I used to be much more critical about how people spent time - particularly how I spent time ... Then I learned to stop worrying and love the reality: there is no 'purpose' (which is, itself, open to as many interpretations as you're able to and comfortable entertain[ing])...
> So “the laws of Physics are the same in all reference frames” implies “Maxwell’s equations are valid in all reference frames”, which in turn implies “the velocity of light in vacuum is the same in all reference frames”

From the point of view of physicists before Einstein, this forces you to decide between Newtonian physics and Maxwell's theory, because the reference frames that are "equivalent" are irreconcilably different for those. The "irreconcilable" part is subtle and not obvious. Maxwell's theory "won", but it was the newer theory while Newton's was very well established. The contemporary physicists' efforts to reconcile the two using an "ether" were completely reasonable from their point of view. (And actually, you can't even completely exclude the existence of an ether, as some ether theories are consistent with the standard model to a reasonably high accuracy. What kills them is Occam's razor)

True, but film is more than just three color planes. Different types of film capture and display colors differently. Grain is very different depending on the film sensitivity. And b/w uses different chemistry than color (silver vs dye), which also affects how an image is captured. Not to mention different emulsions.

I'd like to see his virtual camera incorporate the ability to specify different types of films, not to mention lighting (daylight vs. indoor).

Theoretically you could even zoom in enough on his virtual images that you could see the actual (simulated) grain, once you got to a high enough zoom level where there were more than a few pixels to render individual grains.
No, I am not talking about a runtime-allocated structure. I’m talking about a function that can accept and operate on arrays of different sizes, all of which are fixed size at their declaration site, and all stored on the stack.

There is no reason this shouldn’t be possible. It should not require fat pointers at all because the size information is known at compile time.

First used a GUI on my Amiga 500 back in 1987. The interface was relatively fast and responsive with simple window animations. I mostly used it to play videogames due to the graphics and S T E R E O sound (which was amazing). In fact, the graphics capability was much more impressive than the novelty of the GUI, and this was coming from a ZX-81 and an Atari 800.
I don't agree. There is little to learn from Musk's statements. And lumping all of journalism as being as dishonest as Musk is just plain silly. Sure, if you're on the right the media which is biased towards yoi has been serving you dishonesty and lies for a long time. But that's not journalism as a whole.

Saying "he really believes his lies" is not excuse, because most habitual liars are exactly the same. They have prioritized their own narcissism so far above reality, but that doesn't make them any less of a liar. They are just lying to themselves and everyone else.
Does America not have a similar agency

It does, but it's still newish, and faces a lot of opposition from both politicians and businesses.

I fully agree with this.

Some people, including myself unfortunately, are uncomfortable with unread messages. The biggest problem is, you’ll read the message, but not respond right away to avoid creating the impression “keep messaging me at this hour”. Then, when the appropriate time to answer comes, whatever your definition of that is, you’ll forget to actually answer.

I don’t have this problem with email, but messaging platforms create this with read receipts, online/offline status, etc.
| After it was founded in 1947, “it took the Air Force 25 years to figure out their mission,” he said. “We shouldn’t expect that the Space Force is going to be able to figure it out the day after we stand them up. It’s going to take a little while, and that’s okay.”

I’m wondering if this is a bit of a misquote. The 25 year period interestingly is the same as the existence of the Army Air Corp[0]. 25 years after 1947 would be 1972, and infer that the Air Force hasn’t yet figure out their mission through the Vietnam War, Minuteman missile development and emplacement, or most of the Cold War.

I personally think that the Space Force should have remained part of the Air Force until more capabilities were developed and a sense of mission.

As far as I can find, only two members of the Space Force have been to space[1]. I’m not sure there would have been support for the creation of the Air Force if only two Army Air Corp pilots had completed missions yet.

This overlooks the hard work and risk undertook by the virtuous founders of Paypal and Stripe.

RAII is almost zero cost abstraction and the only reason it isn't is because C++ is made out of landmines (UB and complex, dated ABI, etc).

If you can use references (and sometimes moves), you can produce code that zero cost abstracts for RAII but there are a bunch of arcane rules that you need to follow to guarantee this (and you'll need to double check the generated assembly to verify this).

Now if you need to interact with pointers, you'll need at minimum `unique_ptr` which is not zero cost. It's low cost but there are a bunch of reasons why it can almost never be truly equivalent to a regular pointer. You can get it there but you'll need to follow even more arcane rules and even then sometimes it'll just not be possible to get true zero cost unless you use a custom version of the stdlib and likely the compiler to force the build to disregard ABI safety/compat.

Compare this to Rust where UB is supposed to be non-existent outside `unsafe`, where the compiler far better understands when code is crossing a potential ABI boundary and what specific parts of that boundary need to be upheld, and just in general better understanding when two things can't actually interfere with each other vs when they can.

So rust isn't true zero cost abstraction either by any means but it is so much closer to zero cost than C++ and that's without the cognitive overhead that C++ brings with it.
Even if you dont want to be listed on google maps, they will sometimes generate a fake listing for you anyhow. I got burned by one of these as a customer, the link for takeout was not actually a site the restaurant was partnered with.

It seems so bizzare google will publish such information without ever validating it with the business. It must cause a lot of damage and support quite the environment of scammers though.
A key distinction may be that after the US led interventions the propaganda fell apart, and much internal criticism ensued. People in the US also still appear politically active, eager to express dissent, and practice relatively frequent regime change via elections.

Now you're lumping Asians, who the admissions system has systematically and openly disadvantaged, with legacy admits by both calling their ability to attend a school as a heritable trait. Yet in one case it's actively discriminated against, and the other it's given preferential treatment. If the goal were to control against the 'heritability' of educational obtainment, wouldn't the primary factor in admissions be weighting parental educational obtainment negatively?
Does a bank support this yet? I just want a bank with a good HYSA and security like WebAuthn or yubikeys.
This is not mandatory by law though and mostly it's up to merchant to decide whatever they require 2FA or not. AFAIK payment processors like Stripe actually let you make 3DS (and whatever it called for MasterCard / AMEX) mandatory.

I guess problem is that in US you'll lose a lot of customers by declining payments without 2FA. Also likes of AMEX use 2FA via email so I guess there could be fraud too.
I misunderstood this article. I read that yes, they can trigger new teeth to grow. For some reason I thought they nailed how to regrow tooth enamel for example.
