I would think you'd always expect the most popular stuff to be recommended to you until you have some data in the app for the recommendation engine to go off of?
So I am a big fan of your work. It is really admirable what you've done, this latest push recently. Having the stabler `regex` vs more experimental/open-ended/user-assembly-required `regex-automata` is fantastic! I wish many more libraries did this, and I will happily spread around your blog post in arguing that specific ones should do so.

I wouldn't describe the difference between our views here as optimism vs pessimism. I like Rust decently enough to use it a fair amount and contribute to it somewhat. But I'm hungry for something more. It's fine if you aren't.

> But the thing is, coupling is generally how you make things fast, and making something more general usually involves de-coupling. So they are actually and usually exclusionary goals. But it takes a lot of domain knowledge to actually see this.

The biggest difference is that I don't believe this is true. The interface may be extremely gnarly and hard to express, but I do believe the interface can always in principle be sliced. It may not be practical (the interface is far more complicated than the thing before cutting) but it is still in principle possible.

---------------------

Let me put it this way, imagine some alternative world Unicode which was pathological in all the same ways (case, variable width encodings, all the other things I am forgetting). Imagine if someone forked your work to handle that. Clearly there would be lots of small things different --- it would be hard to abstract over --- but the broad brushstrokes would be the same?

I am not interested in supporting things which are not like Unicode, agree stray to far towards large alphabets etc. and all the algorithms one would want would be different anyways. But supporting things like Unicode or strictly easier than Unicode should be doable in some language, I think.

As far as I know no Saturns have "wires stretched haphazardly across the board", at least mine don't. Perhaps really early Japanese models, but random bodge wires tend to get fixed pretty quickly for later revisions of PCBs, and like most games consoles the Saturn has quite a few variants through its production run.

For example very first revision of the Mega Drive in Japan did have an extra PCB and wires to fix a bug though. But only the first revision, it went away by the second.

I recently had the realization... I've carried this enjoyment onwards into how I store parts for hobbies. While I use compartmentalized containers for things, compartments are still a mix of parts. I can search for quite a while without getting frustrated, just knowing, "those servo mounting brackets are in one of these two containers in the garage..."

I don't buy or aspire to own new Lego as an adult, but I'm still basically doing the same thing I did as a kid: every time I decide to do a hardware project is me digging through my bins of assorted parts instead Lego parts.

Oh and of course, my desk is perpetually just as messy as the floor was as a kid, and I'm often fidgeting seeing how random things do/don't fit together.

(also, also... building the set? nah, building my own things without instructions, and similarly writing my own code...)
The key is to just pass on those sorts of games, because there are still plenty of others that don't play with the customer that way.
I was making a touch under 80k/yr as a (physical, non software) engineer in my 30s not so long ago. People around me were making 40-50k. Professors in town made 60k. It was in a LCOL city in the northeast and it was comfortable.

It really depends on your lifestyle and location. Tech salaries are not the norm for most people.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the irony that the technical writing industry has a huge problem with name overloading :D

I get your categorization and agree with it but honestly... the world would be a much better place if we could collectively be more consistent with the labeling of our docs:

* Users would find the docs they need faster because they know that the content of the "tutorial" really does line up with the usual definition of tutorial.

* We would make more progress on documentation innovation because we would spend less time clarifying miscommunications like this.

It took me a while to understand what you meant - it's not "knights", the title is Nights Into Dreams.

But yeah, having that as a launch title was a big mistake. The gameplay is a weird and unapproachable genre, and the characters flopped as mascots. It was actually made to show off the then-new analog 360º control stick (the "3d control pad"), but nobody cared about that.

The Saturn needed Sonic and didn't have it, and everything else from there was deck chairs on the Titanic.
What's your take on the viability of geoengineering our way out of climate change?
Almost every single game during the PS1 launch was a killer app because every single one was a novel new experience in a 3D rendered space. Dreamcast showed up way too late to compare.

The PS1 also launched several novel IPs.

Dreamcast was years after PS1 when 3D games were a dime a dozen and no one cared by that point. That's why Sonic Adventure and Hydro Thunder are forgettable where Tekken and Rayman are not.

Does anyone know of a service like this that only charges based on storage + how much you use it? I would like to use something like this to run some windows software so I don't need a local VM or dual booting but paying monthly for something I would only use a few hours a month would not work for me.

Try the Reason article posted earlier: https://reason.com/volokh/2023/07/04/july-4-injunction-bars-...

Given your example of a DHS staffer expressing opinions to a friend or family members who is employed at a social media company, there are many regulated industries like government and social media, where employees must disclose conflicts of interest. If rules reflecting this injunction were to be adopted, then disclosing relationships with social media employees would be quite reasonable. DHS staffers, who already go through extensive background checks, would not be significantly more burdened by this than any of the other disclosures that are already required.

They really say it because they hung around in left-wing spaces for a few months in 2016, and it's vaguely anti-authoritarian. It's the same place they got "tankie" from, although they think it has something to do with Tienanmen Square.
To me, the problem is that the whole situation is rotten, and focusing on one tiny aspect while leaving out the wider context just makes a convenient scapegoat.

Even before centralizing websites entered pop culture, it was blatantly obvious that they are intrinsically subject to censorship, just like TV, radio, and newspapers. cf "The revolution will not be televised". It wasn't a matter of if, and it wasn't even a matter of when. They are defective by design, and most people just straight up didn't seem to care. Just like how they were happy to believe corporate news on other mediums for decades.

Furthermore, most of the power in this country resides outside the de facto government. The pattern of "this is bad for us. please take it down. <possible implied escalation>" is routine and banal. Focusing on a government agency doing this (which actually has much less soft power than say a major advertiser or a golf buddy), and blowing it out of proportion just feels like a distraction from the overall dynamic. "Look we found the censorship! This is what we need to fix!" - even though censorship is pervasive for any centralized media.
Hm. I wonder how much work it would take to desolder the microphone and add a physical switch for it. Or maybe a magnetic reed switch in series with the microphone so I don't need to drill extra holes in the phone enclosure -- just hold a magnet up to the phone when I want to use the microphone.

If that's the criteria why did you bring up "Obama judges" and "judges nominated by Trump"? They clearly didn't write the opinion either. You don't get to broaden the scope of discussion then scold someone for responding within that scope.
I liked jade/pugjs or other templatong language that allowed similar stuff back then.

It's definitely irrational on my part, but as you said, it's one of the heuristics I base spending my time on. If a friend or someone I respect tells me otherwise, I'll read it though.
I'm aware, this was actually an issue prior to my PR as well, but less obvious. I think this would need some more defensive CSS to maybe shift the label around to the inside of the bar?

I believe in being as bluntly honest with yourself as possible. This includes acknowledging the good things as much as acknowledging the bad. So I think it's perfectly fine -- even good -- to recognize areas where you are an expert (just don't think that expertise in one thing makes you an expert in all things).

Humility is a wonderful thing, though, and you can maintain it regardless of your skill level by recognizing the truth that no matter how good you are at anything, there will always be someone better than you.

I personally get nervous when I'm not doing something I'm a novice at. It means that I'm not growing.
Absolutely. Branding and what space things take in your head is very important. I associate Amazon with mostly generic stuff which I can get a good price on and it will get delivered fast and a huge amount of Chinese knockoffs which are super over priced compared to Ali express (aka Ali express with better English copy). Prime is also associated with that and by extension so is Prime video.
A sophisticated AI will require a large amount of compute that is in the same place and even then it will be slow and can only focus on one task at once.

Since the AI works much slower than you it can not prevent you from unplugging it. Even maintaining such a compute cluster requires work from humans both on the hardware and software side. People could just stop working on it and it would eventually fall over.

>It's so trivial that you cannot shutdown a system that it boggles me

Virality doesn't require sophisticated AI so it can get away with simpler code that can run on any system.

I'm actually arguing against the gamer in this case. For the most part, I enjoy those games because I don't work myself up over loot drops, skins, etc.
FYI a lot if not all of the core docs actually have tabs on any code samples to switch between c# and gdscript so while tutorials from third parties tend to focus on one or the other, the core docs are a bit better.

I've started going through a tutorial on youtube from I think finepointCGI about a horror game in Godot, he is actually doing it twice, once with GDScript and once with c#, so if you want to see someone with some godot experience using c# give it a look.

While I agree with the beginning of your post, you lost me here:

> The bitter lesson [1] is going to eventually come for all of these. Eventually we'll figure out how to machine-learn the heuristic rather than hard code it.

Inefficiently re-learning over and over patterns that can be more explicitly encoded as smart inductive biases for better sample efficiency is what ML research is.

The "bitter lesson" doesn't mean "throw the towel and your brain and just buy more GPUs". It means that the inductive biases / modeling strategies that win will always be the ones that are more hardware-friendly.
Yes they are and the promise cited as a justification is always "automatic scalability", "increased reliability", "decreased downtime".

In my experience, spoken English is relatively fault tolerant, which probably makes speaking it less challenging than it first appears. To become proficient, you slowly learn the rules.

Not sure how this compares to other languages. I’ve only observed other people learning the language. As a typical American, I only speak American English. If you mentioned the boot of a car, I’d probably ask if you meant the tires. ;)

I know it may come as a giant surprise, but when a very large, very wealthy game studio has a PR problem and a leading game industry rag (literally, Kotaku was part of Gawker which was an entire network of shitty tabloid sites) publishes a story about it, things just might be downplayed?

Rockstar implemented a number of changes, including a "too hot to modify" mechanism that keeps you from modding (and thus making your own) cars you steal off the road.

In a game called Grand Theft Auto, you can no longer steal cars because they wanted more revenue.

It's the aggressive parents that u need to show the results and convince that the new system will show better learning, better resumes, better applications to the universities, make their children more competitive than the others.

Else the parents will take the matters to their own hands, because they know the moment their children r in the real world internships or entrepreneurship, they r in the world of stack ranking and result based fierce competitions.

Have we seen these kind of reforms would make the children more competitive by those parents standard? Tbh no so far. I don't think those parents will take the chances
Usually I'm pretty judgmental about moves like this, but despite the limited feature set, I think the execution here is impressive. Solid UI, easy to follow accounts, and basic UX interactions just work.

The demo discs were clutch. I didn't have much money and would play the heck out of demo discs until I could save enough money to buy a game. Saturn didn't seem to have enough titles and PS was spitting them out like crazy.
To add to this I found these tutorials good starting points for a structured lesson with my kids. Would do about 30m-1h a day (mostly up to whenever they get bored). When we started off we'd focus on letting them run the GUI changes and I'd work on the code and explain the concepts to them until they started wanting to do the coding themselves.

I really want someone to make BoringBook - it's free until a billion people have signed up and then after that it costs $1 a year. It gives you a page you can post to and customise like myspace, an encrypted messaging client, local group pages and business pages. There are no ads, other than whatever businesses post on their pages. There are three feeds: your immediate network (which is the default), your local network (things from other people and businesses in your town) and the global feed. All of the feeds are capped at 100 posts to prevent infinite scrolling with the feeds refreshed every hour. Nothing else. It will never make more than 8 billion dollars a year (which is what would happen if everyone on the planet signed up). BoringBook - the social media utility company.
In your experience, what kind of cost multiple is involved in remediation of the kinds of failure you deal with?
