It probably went through some heavy development hell, it was id's longest game in development (7 years) and IMO it wasn't really that great as a game - the shooting bits were great and felt very good (the best part of the game), the driving sections felt bad with the levels being too small to drive around and too large to walk and the quests felt tacked on. The various "bonuses" (like those things that hang in the air and you can pick up by making stunts) feel like excuses to pad out the game's length.

It was like the game didn't know if it wanted to be an FPS or some seamless open world ARPG so it tried to do a bit of both and the only reason the FPS side didn't felt bad was because id was masters at making FPSs by that time - but it was certainly dragged down.

It would have been way better if it was a regular FPS with a linear progression of levels like id's previous games.

Certainly id's code is clean and well-structured, however I always had a tough time trying to grok it as a layperson. Comments (those within the functions) are relatively sparse, and the code often contains quite cryptic expressions that are somewhat bewildering to those without an high understanding of 3D graphics.

This, of course, makes perfect sense as an output from an industry leader in the field (Carmack). However it definitely requires a lot of foreknowledge and, dare I say it, a mathematical bent to follow with confidence.
Adding a non-compete clause to your license is not "literally nothing" - in fact, it might be extremely problematic for a large number of downstream users.

As for "abusing the goodwill of the open source community", that's kind of the point of FOSS. Free riding is not stealing. That's proprietary world logic, and everyone saying we need to stop people from free riding FOSS is calling for the enclosure of the commons.

Let me be perfectly clear: there is no license condition you can put on software that will let everyone use it as if it were in the commons but prevent Amazon Web Services from hosting it.
Hashicorp wouldn’t be in the position they are without being open source in the beginning.

Think about all the reduction in sales cost their open source model resulted in. Because they were open source, they had a foot in the door and in-built evangelism.

Once that stopped being an advantage and they had utilized all the community goodwill by being open source, they make this change.
As I said in a sibling comment, I don't think there is one correct choice for everyone. If someone doesn't want kids they probably shouldn't have them.

However, like I said above, the interesting part of the question is the why. I think the lack of a village and support network is a very plausible answer. My friends that are the happiest with children also have a robust Village and social life which is supportive of raising children. This includes social activities that don't force adults to choose between parenting and personal enjoyment. This can be as simple dinner parties a couple times a week where one parent will watch The Children Play while everyone else takes a load off.

I think another similar plausible explanation is a cultural expectation that parents replace their lives with that of their children opposed to integrating the children into their own lives.

If parents like camping, travel, gardening, or reading, they should what they love with their kids.

Fuck watching the wiggles or elmo 8 hours a day. That's insanity and needless suffering.

I never scrutinized the id software source, but man have I seen some horrifying game source. The bar is extremely low.

What's surprised me is that successful, fun to play, and stable enough games have been shipped with such absolute unmitigated disasters behind the curtain.

It makes me question sometimes all the effort(and time) I put into preventing the chaos, when such carelessly bodged together garbage can be perfectly profitable.

I’m going to guess it’s an engineering issue, almost certainly has to do with weight distribution.

Fuel usually goes in the wings because that’s the center of gravity and as the fuel burns the CG doesn’t dramatically change. With hydrogen, I imagine the weight isn’t changing much, because all the weight is in the tanks. This means you can do weird stuff like put the tanks aft and counterbalance them in the front.

Another thing I can think of is that cylindrical pressure vessels have inherent advantages. Wings don’t do cylindrical shapes well without wasting a bunch of space.

VPOTUS assuming the presidency absolutely is a new administration. Hard to see how anyone could claim otherwise.

Consider Andrew Johnson, who wasn't even the same party as Lincoln. He was impeached by Republicans and in his run for presidency got his votes mostly from Southern whites. He pardoned basically all confederates. The murder of Lincoln definitely was a violent transfer of power from an abolitionist to a Southern apologist.
A certain politician was asked if he would accept foreign assistance in the form of hacked emails from the other candidate’s campaign.

Without investigating further, I doubt this was a Thunderbird bug. Find a live ISO to boot a USB device, delete a few files, no more low hard disk. That said, I've encountered a few what-were-they-thinking data losses recently, the worst being a shingled backup of a few big ISO files, the first being a move, and when the disk barfed (presumably too much data queued to be shingled written), the first few files were lost. So I went out and got a larger disk from the same vendor, tried 'copy' this time, same exception, I guess, the same old crappy firmware.
You can reference "disease of despair" in this case, which includes "drug overdose (including alcohol overdose), suicide, and alcoholic liver disease". "For 2018, some 158,000 U.S. citizens died from these causes, compared to 65,000 in 1995." [1]

IDK, back in my edgy years I was suicidal due to "loneliness"- even though I had friends and family. I even (kinda) had a partner.

I had no money, because you can't pay almost $100K in student loans and $900/mo in rent when you make $37K/year before taxes. I never went anywhere when my friends did.

I was the only person in my friend group that liked certain hobbies and social media wasn't that big back then (my main social media sites up until that point were blackplanet and geosites- Facebook had JUST come out) so there was no way for me to connect with like-minded individuals about things I really cared about.

I went to school ~600 miles away from my family in a city of ~35k people and only 88 of them were the same ethnicity as I, so I had to suppress most of my personality to "not stand out", which strained my relationship with my partner and led to a surprise breakup.

By the time I hit 22 I was legit prepared to end it all- I even left a "final farewell" note on /b just to give them one last "rofl" on the way out.

A full decade later I look back and realize that it wasn't my shitty job or financial situation. It wasn't being in a minority group in a hostile school or the breakup. I wasn't (committed to being) suicidal. I was literally just being an edgy dingleberry. My problem was 100% made up and I was just looking for ANY reason to stay trapped in a cycle of sadness. Eventually it just... Went away? At some point at 24 something changed in my brain where all of a sudden I want thinking about how lonely I was.

None of it had anything to really do with social interaction, at least not ACTUAL interaction. It felt like I was just bitter because I couldn't do all the stuff I WANTED to do, and that stuff just happened to be related to social interaction. Maybe my scenario isn't the same as what you're describing but I don't think smartphones/social media were my issue. I just needed to mature a bit more and not be so focused on what I COULDN'T do.

Having said that while I think smartphones are one of the most influential inventions to come out since the turn of the millennium... The biggest social media sites are a net drain on society and I would not be sad to see them go in the slightest.

So what, I just write code reviews to myself? What happens when I want to review other peoples’ code? Where do I get it from? And when they want to read my comments, do I invite them over to my computer?
> No plot or progression and just endless shooting? That's almost some kind of meditation for me and other people.

Indeed, some years ago i'd wake up, take a shower, make some coffee, do a quick play of the first episode of Quake (i stopped at first death but i pretty much knew the game so well by that point that i rarely died before the last couple of maps) to wake up and then go to work :-P.

Surplus 10G switches at good prices are likely to be sfp+ and not 10g-baseT at this point in time, too. DAC for same rack is a no brainer at that point. To the rest of your house depends on what you've got in the wall and how easy it is to put new stuff, I guess. I'm running 10G-baseT between my two network cabinets, because there's no economical way to pull anything else, and there's no reason to go for more than 1g other than fun.

Maybe this is breaking news to you that supreme Court justices receive gifts but a quick Google search will reveal news articles going back 10 plus years that talk about this. This is well known that supreme Court justices have received gifts many of them extremely lavish by normal person standards.

There is constantly investigations into the justices. Literally every opinion that they publish is scrutinized. If a traditionally liberal Justice all of a sudden ruled in an extremely conservative manner that would like people's hair on fire. So the investigations are constant and the fact that the justices rule extremely consistently is strong evidence that whatever gifts they're given do not influence them to rule opposite of their constitutional understanding.

What you do see in other areas such as Congress is that money buys votes. That is a well demonstrated fact. It is so common and so well demonstrated people ignore it at this point. You cannot find any evidence that the supreme Court justices are ruling inconsistent with their past stated constitutional understandings and inconsistent with their past rulings. That's why in all of these hit pieces there is never anything brought up about corruption and buying of justices. If there was even a shred of evidence that Clarence Thomas vote on the supreme Court could be bought it would be front and center on every page. Instead we get nonsense hit pieces of one of the most corrupt political bodies Congress pointing fingers at one of the most consistent government bodies.

Because you can disagree with how the justices rule on issues but the supreme Court justices are exceedingly consistent in how they rule. That is direct evidence that either votes have been bought for many decades and prior to when they were nominated to the supreme Court or that these gifts don't influence. I don't think there's a tin foil hat big enough to think that people are able to predict potential supreme Court justices decades before they even made a name for themselves and started buying them off on mass hoping they'll make the supreme Court.

I hear this "EV's aren't as green as you think" trope all the time. People even talk about environmental damage at lithium mines as if drilling for oil is this ultra-clean process that never has any environmental impact. I think people would think twice about using petrol if the pollution was solidified and dumped on their front lawn.
> it's pure luck if you find the right therapist

I won't say what I truly think about "therapy" as an industry, but this fact is always something that sticks out to me. Sure there are bad surgeons, but I wouldn't go into heart surgery expecting to have to try a few surgeons before they performed a double bypass successfully.

There are no objective standards in the industry. In an industry with even basic standards you shouldn't have to keep trying to find a therapist that "helps".
Honestly I could I could easily solar power all of my compute needs (and probably a lot more) from my apartment's roof.

But at last, I'm a renter and my property management isn't going to allow that.

We're literally wasting clean energy because of a bunch of rich turds hogging real estate with shitty rules about what you can't do. When my property changed management the new management even banned EV charging on the property and locked up all the outlets in the parking lot. These kind of management are not welcome in Silicon Valley but somehow they are here.
especially since the author had to change the privacy.resistFingerprinting in Firefox to true to get it to work (meaning that it was able to bypass Cloudflare's loop by being MORE secure). But that appeared to break other non-Cloudflare sites.

I think the fingerprinting is a red herring. Yes, Chrome is less secure. But Chrome worked.

It's quite possible someone at the author's workplace updated their Cloudflare WAF settings and made things more strict, causing more checks. I'd even offer that a Firefox extension might be contributing.

But the argument that Chrome worked because it offered Cloudflare personal information is pretty out there ;)

Eh, just in the last decade MIT has seen a huge shift towards a culture of risk adversion. The administration have actively suppressed and dismantled cultural elements they do not find desireable. See what happened to Bexley house and senior house, and I'm not sure what's happening with east campus these days but some kind of construction is going on.

Still a fine university, but the days of 'hacker' culture are definitely dwindling. There are still pockets here and there, but like with old forms of communication (IRC, etc ) it becomes harder and harder to foster that culture when there are less and less spaces for it while simultaneously creating curated spaces that are so much easier to use.
Most tiles roofs have underlayment (around 30 years) or some other waterproofing that needs to be serviced. You move the tiles over, replace, then move them back. The tiles, alone, don't make a waterproof roof.

> 10% is a meaningful chunk of a company. While $500k sounds generous, many startups with traction could easily raise that money on much better terms.

How much traction would likely earn the money on much better terms and what would make the terms much better? I've been interested in Y Combinator or raising funds for what I'm working on but I'm still prepping to launch the MVP so there are no users yet. It'd be useful to be able to gauge what types of MVPs and launches or pre-launches may make the cut. Thanks!

My solution: git submodules + every project stores its main sources in src/ + Makefile that recursively searches for "src/*.c" files and compiles them to a big ol object collection.

It's obviously not infinitely scaleable because you could end up with name conflicts for object files, or some modules might require custom build settings. But it works well enough to nest my own projects 3-4 layers deep without issue.
Quake 1 is most likely the simplest and most straightforward though it does have a bunch of alternative things for stuff like GLQuake vs software rendering.

Quake 3 was designed to be used by 3rd parties and is more well put together, focuses on OpenGL and Carmack considers it his best C code.

I'd say one of these two.
