Yeah, I've seen those and I'm happy Godot moves in this direction, but using these tools would steer me away from the "default" and "primary" behavior, I'd potentially face more bugs/awkward development setups.

It might be worth if I'm serious about Game Development and ready to invest time and effort into customizing the tools, but what I'm looking for is "out of the box" experience which will make it easier for me to solve problems that I face (e.g. if I ask questions more people would be able to answer/help), the tutorials/resources I find will be more applicable etc.

As others mentioned in this thread, having first-class support for a language isn't the same as providing API for plugins and custom scripts.

I wish Godot chose a real existing programming language instead of building their own DSL. Even Lua might have been a decent choice, although I hate the syntax.
How does this work & which GPT are you using? So you upload a bunch of code somehow and ask questions about it?

A bank is acting as a trustee of property, corporate social mediums unfortunately do not.

If you want a legal right to individual freedom of speech on corporate commons, be explicit about it and work for that! Focusing on this small slice of corporate censorship just because it was encouraged by the government is distraction from the fundamental problem.
It’s one thing to officially commandeer media outlets during an emergency. That’s in-bounds. That’s not what happened here and therefore not what the debate is about.
There's definitely some overlap in the backends because https://www.threads.net/t/C is the first Instagram post but on Threads with the exact same amount of likes it has on Instagram yet https://www.threads.net/@kevin shows no threads.
Growing up, myself and my siblings built sets when we first got them as gifts, but after that they went in the pile. We would build whatever was in our imagination, from the multicolored heap.

Now I have my own kids, and they all want to build sets from instructions. The odd time we'll dive into the pile of orphaned bits and build a house or a boat or something, but mostly they want to recreate what they remember. My wife spends hours finding all the pieces of a set and bagging them up for the kids to build later (so she's gonna love this)

It's tempting to say "kids nowadays" but I think it's just different personality types. In other media, my kids are far more creative and imaginative than I ever was, but with Lego sets they prefer to recreate the perfect image than make a hodge podge thing that never existed.
That’s inspiring.
I already address the wrong interpretation of General Welfare here [1] it is a common tactic by Authoritarians to expand the scope of the federal government to be unlimited, when clearly the purpose of the constitution was to limit the government, If your understanding of that clause is correct then there is no reason to go on and list other powers as literally everything is included in "General Welfare" and the US Federal Governments power is unlimited. That is not the case

>>"General welfare" is a much wider term, that can encompass more and more, as minimum humanity standards increase.

Ahh your a living document believer, that we should reinterpret the constitution under the lens of how words are used in common usage today, not the original intent of the provisions. I am an orginalist so no I do not agree that General Welfare powers expand as humanities standards increase

Interesting, I like the idea of pre-plastic. Some hypothetical "solutions" (i.e. brain farts) I'll toss out into the ether:

Ban all levels of plastic for the _packaging_ of food and goods.

Incentivize multiple-use and/or highly recyclable materials metal(aluminum), silicone and glass containers for food, rather than "convenience" and single-use.

Single-use plastics can be regulated and limited to medical/hospital use only.

This could also have a benefit of promoting smaller supply lines for things that spoil. Increasing small town economies, farms, mom & pop shops.

Plastics selling point is convenience and cost-reduction for consumers and businesses.

We could place regulation on the distillation ranges for the barrel oil.

As for the forever chemicals... We (U.S.) can approach the problem similar to the E.U. - Prove first, the safety of the chemical by outside labs (disallow testing by the company who benefits from the use of said chemical) before hitting the market. Whereas the current U.S. model is - I get to use whatever chemical I see fit, unless you prove to me wrong.
Coming back to this a week late but, MY GOD YES!
From my own personal anecdote source, I've done some of my best and deepest documentation or architectural work from home. Usually in a work-mode of writing or refining text for 10 - 20 minutes and then wandering around the flat with a cup of coffee. Or sitting on the balcony looking at clouds. Or doing dishes or straightening out something simple. Just letting the mind float while some magpies yell at a pidgeon or something is conductive to thorough thought.

Ask HN: Is anyone observing elevated number of requests to Twitter Auth?
I am administrating a product that offers Twitter as OAuth provider. Since earlier this morning, we are noticing significantly higher than usual # of request to authenticate with Twitter. The traffic is clearly originating through sophisticated botnet.

These requests would result into redirecting to Twitter's OAuth screen, effectively making significantly higher load on Twitter's OAuth system, so my primary assumption is that this is aimed at increasing the load on Twitter through other platforms as it appears to be only targeting Twitter OAuth, no other providers have been affected.

I am curious if anyone else is noticing similar pattern on their platforms?
Who cares? As I write this, Threads has 30 million users, 3 times the entirety of the Fediverse. But yes, surely they will block :)

You're technically right, but it may be that the ideal model of government tends towards a certain size; perhaps size significantly affects the extent of corruption? In any case, the more pressing matter is how to turn an inefficient government into an efficient one, heh. (Or even before that, getting consensus on the fundamental responsibilities to the citizens.)
this is an interesting angle.

on the topic of tools, i want to add something i rue - the loss of printed instruction manuals. My iphone can do a lot and has many features but most are useless to me because one - there is no printed manual i can use (a screen is a sub-par replacement) and..

two - the discoverability is terrible. With more things moving mobile-first, the discoverability of features is just gone. there’s a delicate balance between the capability of software and the east of use. TeX comes to mind a a good example.
Definitely agree to disagree at this point.

> You're making distinctions that don't exist.

>Thinking rain is good because it waters your garden is based on the fact that it will help your garden grow.

>Thinking rain is good because it sounds pleasant is based on the fact that you enjoy the sound of the rain.

I'm not sure how you can say the distinctions don't exist. There has to be an analogy but I don't think I can come up with one that will satisfy you. I mean you had to rewrite my example to make your point.. not sure how that's not the world's most obvious strawman, you literally twisted what I said into something else and went on to argue against that.

I think it's easy enough to glean what I mean from my past replies if someone wanted to try to understand me.
Yes so what happened is they converted, then had majority common, then voted to recapitalize and sell, after which recapitalization they made out with a profit but common got nothing. The problem with this legally was they didn't have the right to convert without a common vote beforehand, essentially they did it in reverse order. Their leverage was the company was not cash flow positive (in no small part because of the massive management fees the VC loaded on as part of funding), and so needed funding to continue. They also offered the existing board members a $1m bonus as part of post-sale consulting (essentially a legal bribe) as part of agreeing to the sale. It's all not technically legal, but you know the golden rule, he who has the gold makes the rules.

Because of the settlement terms I'm not able to name the VC, but I can tell you this kind of behavior is by no means unique to this VC, in fact it's rather de rigueur for the VC and PE worlds. It's even defensible in a way, they owe fiduciary duty to their limited partners, NOT to the common shareholders of the company they invest in.

I currently advise startups seeking financing to either a) only go the VC route if you think you're in megagrowth into the next dropbox et. all or b) you have enough self/family wealth to take VC investment on favorable terms ala stripe.
Curiously, VKontakte also started from PHP+MySQL but went another way. PHP is compiled ahead of time with something called KittenPHP. It's open-source. For databases they switched some parts to their own bespoke solutions in C that talk with PHP over the memcached protocol. These are called KittenDB (or "engines") for the simple single-purpose ones, and there was also a more generic MySQL replacement in development when I left in 2016, MeowDB.
> The cookware usage is unnecessary and hard to purchase without

Q: If the first part of that statement is true then why is the second part of that statement true?

I would suggest that nonstick cookware is popular because consumers like it ... because "it works".

If there were an alternative that was as good then it would be readily available and frequently sold.

The Vatican also had real power back then, not just soft power as the head of a religion. They controlled a decent chunk of Italy outright. Galileo was also around during the Counter-Reformation when the Church dealing with the political ramifications of the rise of Protestantism, and saw his reinterpretation of the Bible as fire power for the Protestants.

Moreover, there were valid epistemological criticisms of Galileo’s theory. The scientific method and accepted standards of proof were being developed. This work was also pre-Newton, this physical laws themselves were still not well-understood. Many of his critics were skeptical because, while heliocentric theory simplified the math, Galileo hadn’t disproved geocentricism — he gave a sufficient condition for his data not a necessary one. Thus, they complained he was making claims beyond the scope of his scientific work.

How come rest of the world don’t block the internet during the college admissions?
I think this is interesting and come from a like background as you. Building machines and discovering our router had wifi on a Sony PSP.
Some thoughts:
1: Boomers and Gen X kinda screwed later generations with incredibly awful computer education in schools. Most schools are basically marketing firms for Google and Microsoft Office. Kids are just not taught the basics at all and instead are handed endless document tasks that are absolutely meaningless to real life.

2: One can argue that all of what you define as 'tech skills' are actually just legacy thought processes that have gone by the wayside. Folder structures are often silly on modern devices with great search. Startup sequences are unneeded to be known because their modern hardware solves it's own problems when things go wrong (ChromeOS for example can just re-image and restore files/settings automatically upon boot failure). They know how to type with their thumbs because the full size keyboard is not relevant and once again, schools don't teach it. Microsoft will gladly have GPT 4.0 write a macro faster than you could.

3: I would also bet that later generations are better at some things. Notably handling the social web, personal image, and expecting to deal with scams and fraud. Our generation got thrown head first into a world where everything is there always. Where your past follows you. They grew up with it, it is native. They know to be more careful in sharing. Their bullies sit down at their dinner tables and on their nightstand because the internet and social networks exist after school hours. General smartphone use skills are likely better. Gen Z is also, according to other reports, less likely to smoke or drink and generally more willing to make stable life choices.

It's easily to point the finger at a next generation but I think
A: The problem tends to be the prior generation's fault. It is wild that so many generations will say 'kids these days' but it is their kids.
B: The lens through which the generation is judged is not actually fair. I would also note this: The generation before us would argue that we don't know how to drive stick, read an analog clock, or balance a checkbook. The world moved on.
> it's impossible to have a XOR life

We tend to invest too much time into activities when we limit ourselves. You can work out, bone up your knowledge, eat healthy, work efficiently, and have time for recreation and a family. It take investing time into planning, which feels wasteful when you're overwhelmed. And it might mean you timebox certain activities to limit burning the ocean.
Replace all fines (and most jail time) with community service, defined as something like "hours signed off by the director of any 501(c)(3)." Cut government programs that are now unnecessary because of all the community service.

The supply of community service hours is decentralized and 501(c)(3) organizations have limited input into law enforcement, so the government has less incentive to increase non-compliance to increase citations.

Also fun to see the entire C-suite of a company get 1000 hours of community service each instead of a fine paid by shareholders whose only mistake was hiring them.

While I carefully keep others away from my code the notes say I have a complicated relationship with my future self. While comments should be the least useful to me I've tried many formats and found that it is spectacular to have the full elaborate comment above each bite sized nugget of code. I mean that what was solved as a single thing after breaking down the larger problem.

The result is that I don't read any code at all. The whole thing is compiled to the native format that is human language. The code is great for illustration.

If I keep it in separate files as documentation it takes to much effort to find and update. It takes needles extra effort and is less precise.

It is just a personal preference of course but if one had any experience writing code in any language it should be easy to grasp say at 4 am while drunk.
LOL, at least Ruby inspired a new generation of languages that we have today.
They're limiting output to their own platform as a way to force you to use it. Instead of raised prices they're squeezing a subscription out of you.

Instead of complaining about piracy, put your content on all platforms. There's a clear correlation between the return of exclusives and increased piracy. Drop prices/make it more available and you'll displace piracy (there'll be a structural level of piracy always, they can't change that but this is beside the point).

How do you pick a number if someone asks you to pick a number, any number?
> But is this reality or just a nice narrative people like to bring up as a "all experts are wrong" dog whistle?

How is that even remotely related to "all experts are wrong"?

> The Galileo thing was about politics, not religion.

As I said in another comment, the Copernican heliocentric model is at odds with the Church's geocentric doctrine and the Scriptures, hence challenging the Church's and the religion's credibility and authority. To claim that the Galileo affair is simply a "personal feud" is wholly disingenuous.

> It also wasn't scientific.

Galileo used the empirical data (observation of the planets) he obtained through his telescope to test and justify the Copernican heliocentrism model - it is the definition of science.
> As I understand it, even for a jit compiler, the type annotations are typically less useful than runtime behaviour.

What I’ve heard from people who work on performance is, the type hints can provide benefits potentially, but just not relatively as useful as other runtime improvements. The development effort is simply better placed elsewhere.
A lot of IT consulting may involve writing or configuring software and systems. And before that, requirements analysis. So it's not something that you can estimate realistically.

And neither the consultants nor the hiring company can afford to really get the raw end of a deal.

If you think you have information or skills with Windows VMs or whatever that is very valuable then you can certainly try offering some fixed fee for some particular outcome.

It is likely the real requirements will not be available until a qualified person spends a significant amount of time doing that analysis. So the desired outcome will change after the contract is signed. So will the estimated amount of effort and you may also find that you don't even necessarily have the staff to handle the requirement.

I think the amount of effort to successfully deploy projects, unless they are extremely routine, often does not leave as much room for profit as you might think. Especially if increased hours do not add to the fee charged. It becomes a conflict of interest where one side wants to squeeze as much work out as possible and the other wants to do as little as possible. So having a useful outcome can be a casualty of that.

>Spiro accused Meta of hiring dozens of former Twitter employees who “had and continue to have access to Twitter’s trade secrets and other highly confidential information.”

So you fire 80% of your workforce claiming they're dead weight and completely unnecessary, while simultaneously suing their new employer because apparently they were vital cogs who somehow "continue to have access to trade secrets"? So vital you're refusing to pay out any of their severance packages. Only in Elon land.

1) Garbage replaced with garbage is still garbage.

2) spam replaced with spam is still spam.

3) artisanal writing will always be higher quality and demand higher premiums, viewership, margins, and stickiness.

4) generative AI can be used by humans to craft reasonable boilerplate and edited by humans to add value and depth. Similarly calculators can produce mathematical results but they’re only interesting the context of a humans agency and synthesis. The use of generative AI for writing is more like using a code completer or calculator and at no stage removes a human - the AI must be prompted and guided, and as is shown in the article must be edited and post processed to be appealing. The machine covers only a small part of the exercise. Unless you’re making garbage or spam, in which case see (1),(2)
