During my brief participation in game development I watched an attempt to make game out of needs and actions. This was done because state machines in previous game have failed in unpredictable ways, like dead bodies started to walk while continuing laying on their side and even went into fight.

The end result? AI programmer resorted to state machines, because it was difficult to control character's behavior. For example, there were oscillating behaviors without any advancement on character's part. Team lead had to agree because there aas no budget to tune each character needs and actions to make game playable.

I think this anecdote can explain why objects, needs and actions are seldom used.

The Mesoamerican civilizations did not have copper, bronze, or iron metallurgy which is a prerequisite for making the metal rims needed for transportation wheels. A wooden wheel without a metal rim is too fragile for transportation.

Without the wheel, humans are actually relatively comparable to other pack animals in carrying efficiency. It is the wheel that makes moving larger loads more efficient which makes it advantageous to domesticate pack animals that can exert greater force.

Most people agree with you, which is exactly why there is no chance that an organization like this can have a real impact.

How can a breeder, who is incentivized to create a stream of puppies to sell, be compatible with a society that is trying to reduce euthanasia for animals? Breeders already have to deal with puppies and kitties "aging out" of profitability, an organization like this just subsidizes their cost of dumping unwanted stock.

Is the war on drugs a failure in Singapore too? I mean, it is self-evidently obvious that at some level of enforcement, you can actually control the problem.

The question then is whether we are willing to tolerate the level of enforcement necessary. Is the cure worse than the disease? That is a real question and a worthy one, but pretending that no tradeoff exists is just silly.

> Of course they care; even big companies have to fight with their insurance companies and often don't get fully compensated.

A friend of mine is a small business attorney and representing trucking companies in insurance disputes is a big part of his business.

Basically:

- truck is involved in some kind of accident

- insurance is dragging their feet or trying to say it shouldn't be covered

- small trucking business doesn't have the manpower nor expertise to hire a dedicated "deal with insurance department"

- they outsource it to a local lawyer who specializes in this kind of thing and is probably doing it for multiple small businesses in the area

We have been using Tiptap in production for more than a year in Notesnook[0]. Glad to see it finally launching here on HN!

We have had quite a long and rough ride in search of a stable rich text editor. We began with Quill.js then migrated to TinyMCE and then finally settled on Prosemirror. Unfortunately, contenteditable is still absolutely horrible on web browsers, especially mobile ones.

Tiptap is a good choice if you are looking for a framework agnostic and thin abstraction over Prosemirror. However, if you are primarily working with React you should go with Remirror[1]. Tiptap's APIs are heavily inspired by Remirror (almost a duplicate in some places). Remirror takes the edge on the maturity and stability of the API and extensions. The sheer number of utilities offered by them to simplify Prosemirror's APIs is astounding. And trust me, you will need a lot of those utilities eventually. Prosemirror is not an easy API - really, really well designed but not easy.

In the end, though, its Prosemirror that's doing all the heavy lifting. And no matter how many abstractions you put on it, you will have to get really, really close in with Prosemirror's internals. Tiptap or Remirror do not make that any easier or harder aside from the initial bootstrapping.

You don't need the language to be designed for it or to prove it. Just document it as a contract for the caller. e.g. "the argument to map must be a pure function. For functions with side effects, use forEach. If an impure function is provided, the behavior is undefined." This isn't very different from contracts that require you not to change the length of an array when using iterators.
Ha, I'll definitely admit it's not the best metaphor. My point was the last sentence of my original comment: when you're in the heat of discovery, witnessing something for the first time, you are NOT thinking about the quality of the video you are trying to capture! These videos were not intended for public consumption -- they were likely sent to a friend or something, showing the exciting thing they were witnessing.

It just irked me that people are looking at this video and thinking that this is a press release or something.
No, there is a crime problem, specifically a property crime problem. On crimes that involve loss of life, the biggest Californian cities are doing Okay, if not better than expected per capita. On property crime California's cities have very elevated risk per capita, especially SF.

Being killed is a big deal, but no city has such a problem with murder that it can touch the scale of property crime. Thus property crime is the lens by which people will view the risk of crime.
Cars are tools - I have had a "crossover", an SUV and a station wagon (called an estate here in the UK), in my case all Audis.

We got the crossover when we stated a family, it felt big and safe (compared to what I had before). However, the boot/trunk was too small for a growing family going on trips.

We upgraded to a large SUV, felt great to drive, big a tall. Masses of space to load up, however hard to park in small spaces (this is the UK), and far too expensive to run.

Now on an estate/station waggon, love it, favourite car I have owned. Cheaper to purchase than equivalent size suv as they are less fashionable, plus cheaper to run, cheaper tires for example. Far more fun to drive than both the others (and anything else I've had). Do not miss the height at all.

You can use options to change from the default. I don't know what point you are now trying to make, but this conversation is getting very laborious.
It's not just cartels in the classical sense.

In CA, it's cheaper to buy illegal marijuana than going to one of the licensed stores, for a whole variety of reasons.

That "market arbitrage" opens the door for a lot of things to occur - all things proponents of legalization promised would go away.

i think the only way it would work is to make it completely legal (also selling and production) with a lot of control on sales. I am not sure what would be best to control sales, guess it would need to be stricter than the control for tobacco and alcohol. But that way the government could at least get taxes from the sales of the drugs.

If only possession is legal then more people might try hard drugs that would have been scared away but drugs still have to be smuggled in. This also means that there is no quality control on the substances.

I'm a developer with 5+ yoe and I like making stuff work. My most recent experience involves lots of Vue for a live support application (WebRTC, VoIP, SIP though I mostly beat around the bush of all of that complex logic with my UI work). Before that I helped launch a SAAS (Vue + Node, payments and whatnot). I started as a support engineer for a digital product during my uni years so support applications have a special place in my heart. I feel the most capable working on them being able to provide some insights into the processes though I'm always open for learning new stuff.

While most news orgs need schooling, what a hard reset typically means is some action that would expand the growing news vacuum absolutely.

What we see filling the existing vacuum is worse than worthless content. It is patently false content (often posing as local news), specifically crafted to advance harm-based agendas. That would seem to indicate a hard reset isn't the way forward.

The latest versions of USB and PCIe are no longer binary digital signalling at all. It is a modulated radio signal [1] carried over a wire, similar to how DSL and cable modems work. Processor and memory busses will be next to switch over. Most digital systems will probably move in this direction as speeds continue to increase.

I haven't gone super-super-deep into Ghibli but I feel confident saying either My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away.

Be careful to keep your expectations straight for any of the Ghibli films you watch after Spirited Away though, because it's possibly their best. I go back and forth on that or Princess Mononoke taking the crown.
Spirited away: One of the best and has all all the flavours of Ghibli, I recommend starting with it.

This is basically the methadone approach, but when I was in general practice, just try weaning people off anything they have a dependence on that they're not motivated to stop using.

Plus, harm reduction like syringe services (i.e., needle exchange) is already hugely controversial for "encouraging drug use." That sentiment is at best arguable and at worst a reductionist distortion, but it becomes even harder to argue against when you're in the business of handing out better dope.

It really is. Ignoring everything about the company and just looking at the name, X carries a ton of overloaded meanings in addition to what you mention, and very few of them are good.

I live in a small town in Guatemala and the mormon church here is growing very rapidly. According to Google, they're growing at 1.5% annually, which means 255,036 new Mormons every year. However, a church with even a hundred people can heavily sway a small, remote community.

I agree it's not "spreading" per se, but their numbers are respectable among proselytizing religions today. When Islam reached a 1.8% growth rate in the 2000s we were inundated with proclamations that it was the fastest growing religion in the world (eg: https://foreignpolicy.com/2007/05/14/the-list-the-worlds-fas...).

Timelines matter. The BS will either return the millions in a couple years or it won't. Basic research may return much more, but your best case is still many years before you gets results. The risk is actually higher with basic research than for BS as well - the pet rock earned money and there are plenty of other examples of stupid things working well quickly. Basic research in fusion hasn't returned anything yet even though the physics has said it works (though with recent reports maybe fusion is just around thee corner - or maybe it is still 50 years out)

When in tension, the needs of people who have a job but cannot buy a home ought outweigh the needs of people whose financial strategy hinged on housing speculation so badly that their income cannot deal with the fallout.

> But I don't want a government having any opinion on what people put into their own bodies.

I agree with this in principle, but only to an extent. It's not the government's business to intervene when people fill their bodies with, say, ice cream, which makes them happy but has some health consequences borne by the individual. But on the other hand, the government should certainly not permit people to fill their bodies full of explosive substances like nitroglycerin, which might detonate when they are outside walking around public spaces, taking out innocent bystanders.

Hard drugs fall somewhere in between these extremes, because in addition to their first-order effects on the user's health and happiness, they also seem to cause second-order consequences on innocent bystanders. Under the influence of drugs, some users can become aggressive and violent, and lose control of and -- importantly -- responsibility for their actions. Under the influence of addiction, some users also resort to robbery or theft to fund their habits. Many also end up unable to care for themselves. Statistically, this occurs with enough likelihood that it's a predictable, although not inevitable, consequence of substance abuse. Punishing the crimes committed under the influence of drugs does not act as an effective deterrent. Much of the harm from hard drugs does fall on people with no direct relationship to the drug users themselves, and they will have a strong and legitimate self-interest in having these substances banned.

Getting a product like this stood up is a $100 million endeavor at minimum. That’s before customer #1 presses “buy.”

My father and the colleague I mentioned are both successful serial entrepreneurs (large exits, Sequioa backed unicorn, etc.). There is close to zero appetite from VCs in this.

VCs seem to be allergic to these CapEx intensive businesses and I don’t blame them—the risks are enormous when compared to something like a SaaS.

That said, if you know someone who’s dying to throw hundreds of millions at this problem, he’d probably take the intro. You can email me at super solenoid theory at gmail dot com.

> I tend to think increased usage of a regulated and taxable substance by a well educated and supported populous is significantly preferable to prohibition and scare tactics

The problem is opioids and other hard drugs aren't regulated, they are just made legal.

Human thought when addicted to hard drugs is not logical. Giving people the freedom to consume them has the effect of allowing them to forfeit their freedom from choice when they become addicted. Making them even more widely available will just cause more to become ensnared in their web.

We are organic machines developed without the influence of hard drugs over millions of years. We don't have complete control over our actions or thoughts. Why do you like sex? Why do you like men or women? Our programming controls this and drug addiction is a similar irrational control loop.
One of my patent reform ideas is that patents must be used. If left fallow (production under a certain amount) for too long, bam, it hits the public domain, or back to the originator.
Unfortunately essential workers who don’t make extremely high incomes typically face grueling commutes from far-flung areas or they live in cramped conditions. While living with tons of roommates is sometimes done by single people, for families with children roommate situations are quite undesirable, and so megacommuting is often the only option for those who can’t afford to rent or buy closer to work. I’ve heard of San Jose police officers who commute from Los Banos, a Central Valley town that’s roughly an 80 mile drive away. I believe Tesla’s Fremont factory has a bus for its workers that starts all the way from Modesto. When I lived in the Palmdale area 15 years ago for a summer to do an internship, I saw commuter buses that went all the way to Westside Los Angeles, which is 75 miles away.

Having to commute 3-6 hours per day round-trip is grueling, and it’s sadly the reality for many Californians who do it because they can’t afford to live closer to work.
That’s what the CIA does. See shadow brokers and the toolkit used to “change” attribution.
Also, let's not forget that this situation is what American shareholders "say" they want: neither GM nor Ford today has a "compact ICE" on sale for ~$25k (nor anywhere near that). The two examples commonly given right now, Civic and Corolla, are both Japanese imports.

A lot of these "EVs are not affordable" posts really under the surface are just as much "American car companies are too expensive" and blaming that on EVs is missing what's really going on. (Jalopnik here makes an okay case for one of the reasons why this is happening that American car companies are pricing themselves out of their own market.)

It's why I think the US market is ripe for disruption (thanks, short-sighted GM and Ford shareholders) and one of the importers is going to capitalize it. In my understanding it may be a race between the Korean and Chinese companies on who will be the fastest to market a bunch of cheap EV sedan models in the US.

(It is sad that I can't imagine right now GM or Ford making a "hail mary pass" around their own "activist" shareholders. GM proved with the Bolt that they have a lot of the raw components to do a cheap sedan, and likely when the Bolt restarts it will be their cheapest car across their portfolio, just still not a "compact" sedan. Both have to keep answering to their shareholders and a lot of their shareholders are dealers that like high margins and hate sedans.)
