It's a reasonable response to Twitter's issues because of Musk publicising that he was going to clear out Twitter's bloated architecture. If you take responsibility for an architecture it's ok to be criticised if things go wrong.
Some people pronounce the letter "H" differently. The use of "a" or "an" depends upon the vowel sound.

If merge conflicts are that common, either you're all tripping over each other trying to do things in different ways, or they are "artificial" conflicts caused by people rebasing public shared / branches.

Merge conflicts should be occasional, not an everyday occurrence.

Atlassian's golden rule: Never rebase a public branch.

Try to understand where conflicts are coming from. Are people committing different linting/whitespace/line-endings.

If so, then get automated tooling on the repo which enforces a linting and style guide to prevent re-format conflicts.

If they're from genuine refactors, try to understand why people are refactoring so much in a way that is causing conflicts.
> "This doesn't work for me with the X234 hardware"

The problem with that phrase is that you didn't state what is not working. I don't expect - although highly welcome - a complete diagnostics from the reporter, but please at least write the steps to reproduce your issue.
the levels are short enough that starting over on failure seems reasonable to me. many games work like that. counting the moves also came to mind right away. also many games do that. if the game didn't count my moves i would have wanted to do it myself.

i like that there is no time pressure. i can analyze the board and think before i move. in comparison your first game is frustrating. it makes sense of course, but it's way to fast for me, and not relaxing. this is a relaxing puzzle.

i would change the mechanic of the red squares. as it is they work just like no squares. as falling down kills you too. how about it kills you if you touch a red square and a white (or green) square together, or a red square and empty space? that means you could use a red square only if the block is safely placed over it.

then you could introduce multiple colors that do different things. say, yellow shifts your block by one square. blue rotates it, purple makes it jump to a another purple block, another doubles one or all dimensions of the block, making it faster to move or able to cross larger gaps, one color could add or remove squares, changing the layout of the board, or move the target. etc...

since your goal is to learn 3d, each of these could have a different kind of 3d effect.

(btw: i made it in 303 moves)

US companies doing business in the EU should be and are beholden to the EU law.
I do not expect the OP to know that (he must have seen the article in order to read it and post it), but I do expect HN to remove this sort of thing. We are getting an increasingly fragmented world with walled gardens or silly exclusions. This is not something we should tolerate. It's discrimination and is against the spirit of the Internet.

Rewarding sites that exclude and discriminate is not something HN should do.

I think HN should have a policy "if it's not on the internet, we don't link to it". That includes paywalled content, regionally-restricted content, and anything else that is not on the Internet.

Your PRC argument is flawed. PRC self-censors and you don't get Internet in the PRC, you get a state-censored version. I'm talking about discriminating at the source.
I guess that would have been the first time I build something that could do something useful (to other people) that wasn't possible before, the first time I made something that could exist exist.

For me that was when I crossed the line between merely tinkering and actually crafting something that could stand on its own.

We have a massive electronics retailer in my city, who has operated since the 80s or 90's. Their website is crappy, it's got that 2000s era e-commerce aesthetic.

But their physical store. Oh man. Outfitted with the latest and greatest high tech equipment... if you are still in 1997.

They have this touch screen driven ticketing kiosk. When you enter you get a ticket with a number so someone can call you up at the sales desk. The kiosk is prime 90's tube-tv tech, a big and heavy 23in beast.

I don't want them to ever change.
I would argue that is still wrong... if the page doesn't exist, you either 404, or 301 to a page that does exist.

I see. So it’s 1 second plus time to write to S3 as the max data loss window.
Which you can experience if your network connection, etc to the secondaries go bad, particularly if you aren’t alerting about it and fixing the situation.

To try to avoid any data loss one would need synchronous replication. There is a SQLite fork that uses RAFT.

It's used if the next word starts with a vowel sound, so it depends on how you pronounce 'H' as a standalone letter. Personally I say it as "aitch", so for me "an" is correct here and what I would say.
Collector of Cutlery?
While generally true that "an" goes before vowels and "a" goes before consonants, it actually matters on how the consonant is pronounced - yeah, I know, English is funny like this.

So in this particular case you can use "an" and "a" depending on how you pronounce the letter H.

Patrick Collison's Books Recommendation
“ The physical infrastructure projects enumerated above occurred before 1970 to a disproportionate degree. Why? ”

If you Google image search “growth of environmental regulation”, there is a huge increase in the slope of those graphs right around 1960-1970. A simple explanation might be that environmental regulation strangled the speed of physical infrastructure building. A more complex explanation might be that environmental regulation, along with other regulation, experienced this massive growth as a symptom of massive growth in management, consulting, and bureaucracy employment - and it is this proliferation of managers and consultants and bureaucrats that have slowed things down.

I do like the second explanation more. The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/01/where-d...) tells me that “professional and business services”, their catchall for managers and consultants, grew from 2.3% of GDP in 1947 to 12.1% of GDP in 2009. This sextupling of management work could very well correspond to a sextupling of the length (in time) of projects. A mile of road takes just as much asphalt whether you build it in one month or six months, but it takes ~six times as much management when it takes six months.
Ah the multiple devices issue. I see...
just jumping on this to say I'm a Joplin user and I love it, thank you for building an awesome app. I currently also use notion because of Joplin's lack of note sharing on mobile; if good note sharing came to the Joplin mobile app I wouldn't need anything else. The only other feature I'd want that I think is missing from Joplin is the ability to define different storage locations / encryption keys per notebook to allow good separation of work and personal data. Overall though, wonderful app and I am so happy that something like it exists. I really feel like the intentions of the app developers align with my values, and that it will continue to go in the right direction for years to come.

That's really interesting, thanks.

Also, I got to know of those tools like ddrescue and the sleuthkit bunch, which I had not heard of before. Will check them out, since I have some prior background in Unix sysadmin work, years ago, and in filesystem and data recovery tasks.
Had only used builtin Unix tools, though, like dd, fsck, fsdb, etc.

I did manage, a number of times, to recover business data for many customers, from their Unix filesystems that were thought to be unrecoverable, and often with no backups.
Used knowledge of various Unix command-line tools and various tricks of the trade, some read about, some discovered by trial and error. Was good fun and learning.
Yes, you would need to make them unidentifiable by blurring their face, anonymizing their voice and any other feature that may identify them.

Wide shots of crowds are generally ok in public, the issue is focusing on specific people. For example someone having a mental breakdown in public.

You also can not have door bell or private cameras pointing to public streets/roads. You have to ensure your camera only records your property and you are required to post a sign that a camera is installed.
Do you have any idea on how can I import Joplin md's into Logseq?

It is not the problem with lime vs another white paint outside of the buildings. Modern paints based often containing TiO2 are more durable.

But I am with you that using lime especially on roofs/sun exposed walls (assuming lime does not eat up some materials) before summer is sensible if done correctly. Otherwise we will have a spike in hospital admissions of ppl splashing lime over themselves.

Is this your gut feel, or some accepted journalistic standard?
Not OP. While I didn't quite PHP. I just don't work with Laravel.

A lot of good points are written down here:
https://old.reddit.com/r/PHP/comments/131t2k1/laravel_consid...

In short, it just doesn't use good programming principles. It's not just easy to write code with bad principles, it's everywhere in the tutorials.

There's of course Laravel apps out there that do have good programming principles. It's very much possible to write good code with Laravel. It's just less common.

The reviews are already useless. We had plenty of discussion here about that, won't go into details. Again, it was just an example, don't get stuck on it, there are a million ways to fool the public because:

1. There is just too much information to obtain to make an informed decision. There is not enough time for a regular customer to dig into all that. We know these things because we are insiders. That's why you need regulation bodies made of experts to pass legislation to protect the customer.

2. The information gatekeepers are the same who are pushing the enshittification. Where are you going to search for better service? On Google's search engine. Who processes the reviews and decides which to show, which to flag? Again, Google, Amazon, etc. You can not rely on their tools to help you inform about their service. This is why we need regulations about search results.

In conclusion we can not simply rely on customers adapting.
I’ve been waiting years for it. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to get into ML in 2019.

One of the major hurdles is that it needs to generate assets in a way that fits into an overall art pipeline. Each game studio has a unique style, from the naming of bones in a skeleton to the way UVs are laid out on textures. This will be hard to turnkey.

But it doesn’t need to be turnkey. I bet this will supercharge artists long before it’s an automatic solution for gamedevs. So I predict that any artist who heavily invests in this tooling will stand to win handsomely over the next few years.

Here’s an Erdrich horror I made in a few minutes in ZBrush + photoshop AI: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1669106560654614528?s=6... the eye texture is all photoshop AI, which felt remarkable to me even as terrible as it looks.

The other one who might win is a lone wolf gamedev who autogenerates everything. When all your art is autogenerated, you don’t need a style (or an art pipeline). But this is exceptionally difficult to achieve, and I think very few ML people have the gamedev perspective necessary to pull it off.

Luckily, it’s easier than ever to get into ML. So I’m hopeful that gamedevs will jump into ML themselves, as I did, rather than wait for someone else to make it. Invent the future yourself! You really can.

If I find that websites are taking too much time and pulling my focus, I use an extension to block the sites and enter a password to open them.

In many cases, while entering the password, I can think about whether it's really necessary to open the site, such as YouTube or my local newspaper's page.

This has helped me a lot to not go into the rabbit hole.
Guessing that'd really suck for anyone who seems to be a lookalike for someone else. :/

I had regular emails from a security testing tool telling me that internal IP addresses were being exposed on a webpage, in reality the page was a forum post where someone had pasted some console output including an IP address they were working with. In the end I blocked the emails from the tool because I wasn't allowed to mark things as false positives.

If a tool wants to remain relevant it should try to minimise false positives, in some cases this might mean removing rules that are going to throw false positives significantly more often than true positives. Tools should also be run such that anyone that receive alerts should be able to flag false positives with minimal effort.

The response to this false positive could be to fix Prometheus, but if you end up having to fix lots of things it's more of a sign of a bad rule that is making you concentrate on things with a low value to the goal of improving security.
If "http" is not pronounced as its letters but as "Hypertext Transport Protocol Server", "a HTTP server" is fine.
Though worth noting that different circuit courts absolutely pay attention to each others rulings, even though they're not legally binding precedent. If a clear case and solid ruling happens in one circuit the others may all go on similar lines. If a different federal appeals court comes to a totally different conclusion, that's a "circuit split" and is one of the major points at which SCOTUS becomes very likely to then step in and resolve it for the whole country.

If this ruling gets appealed not impossible SCOTUS would take it anyway, but I'm not enough of a court watcher to have any sense of whether it might be considered ripe or important enough from just this one instance.

AFAIK, no. There are some helper frameworks [1], but none of them is dominant. Two possible reasons: it's quite easy to write a (web) service with the library functions (it even includes a gzip stream), and it's practically impossible to write an ORM framework like you have in Java and Python, so the Go frameworks I've seen are basically a bunch of helper functions.

And none of those devices have a PPI that you can customize when you purchase the device, in contrast to many PC laptops that generally offer multiple options (say, either 1080p or 4K on the same device), meaning each device indeed has a one-size-fits-all PPI. I never said Apple uses the same PPI for all their devices.

I'm not sure this fixes anything, it just moves the needle somewhere else. Once you've got good models you're now missing animations and textures, and then you get into lighting. If you standardise all of this stuff, you end up with games looking exactly the same (see the default unity movement in a large number of indie games).
But what about LED?

The point is whether you're saying the letter or a word that starts with the letter.
Console Wars leaves a lot out. For one, Sega of America was in financial trouble as early as the 2nd half of 1993 when revenues nosedived. The company ended up laying off 70% of its 900-member workforce by the end of 1995. Despite having one of the largest game development divisions in the world, it utterly failed to consistently release hit titles (its internal studio, STI, was infamous for having more unreleased than released games).

The CEO of Sega of America, Tom Kalinske, was strongly against marketing the Saturn in North America due to its expected high price tag. He persuaded the parent company to develop and release the ill-fated 32X, and then he put most of the company's resources into supporting it. When the 32X bombed upon release, the decision was quickly made to bump up the release of the Saturn, but Sega of America had almost no software in the pipeline. Ironically, in the end, the Saturn matched the PlayStation in price for most of its life.

this to me is nonsense.

the article is available on the internet. you can freely access it from almost anywhere.

the problem is that the politicians of the day of some regions (china, australia, european union etc) decided that the freely available internet does not really fit with their worldview. as such they created rules that in effect split their internet from others.

this naturally lead to a mass adoption of things like https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/451...

luckily, at least for now, those regions still have access to VPN.
Just a note, been a woodworker all my life, I prefer the planes from Lie-Nielsen [0]. Sure, the low angle jointer from LV has some interesting features, but I feel like the LN are just more well made. Also, Lie NIelsen is just a one guy owned company in Maine, so you are buying from a guy who has a foundry in the states, which is pretty cool.

On the other hand, the LV / Veritas bench vices are supposed to be top notch.
