Not so much "garbage in, garbage out" but "anything in, garbage out". It's just the garbage out is getting amazingly close to non garbage.
Why do people like Quake so much? I'm too young to understand. Does it do something unique compared to other shooter games?

The question would be “by what dimension of interesting”?

Quake 3’s source is pretty interesting from the perspective of id just transitioning from C to C++, and famously has an implementation of fast inverse square root. It’s also a pretty clean codebase overall with a reasonably modern engine architecture.
If you install graphical Vim (gvim) on Windows, I think the installer offers to remap Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v to copy and paste. You also get the standard GUI menu bar at the top with Edit -> Select All, Edit -> Copy, Edit -> Paste which you can click on.
and pure-Win32 is also niche
Which helps, but look at the list of exempt companies which don't have to report.

This is true until the recession which will force people back... and it will suck.
Not sure if that counts, but I successfully wrote Rust programs for several embedded systems and microcontollers.

The smallest one was an ATTiny 13A (64 bytes of RAM).
The succession plan is "you want it to keep going, you maintain a fork"; at worst. Requiring something more to your tastes (or other demands on the governance style) seems to be asking a bit much. If you want "this project but run differently" then the open source license is there to give you the freedom to run your version that way.
I noticed this as well. The patch panels seem only to bring some wire to the front of the rack, only to immediately send the patched wire toward the back of the rack again.
He wrote about ideals but was not an idealist nor ideologue, and in fact was very pragmatic in nature. That’s possibly his nature or from his work as a doctor. What also stems from that, and his religious outlook, is that his ideas were to serve humans better and promote their good and benefit.

Hence, I doubt he’d find a giant company using its negotiating power - and not forgetting its other legal shenanigans (most relevant in this case would be trying to prevent unions[1] forming) - that necessitates harm to an individual through a “consensual” contract to be part of his idea of what liberty looks like. Would you negotiate such a contract for yourself? I doubt it. Can an Uber driver negotiate it away? I doubt that even more. In fact, there is no negotiation, it’s a take it or leave it offer.

In short, he didn’t seem interested in allowing powerful interests to crush individual interests based on some ill-conceived notion that it’s a free market or that there is true freedom to consent in any meaningful way.

I guess I should clarify that no one I know has extra money right now to travel and stay in Airbnbs compared to a few years ago. Most are just trying to make ends meet and pay their inflated bills.

My first thought is - what will the modders do.

I watched some videos about MyHouse.wad (a Doom 2 level/mod that became popular with the indie horror crowd), and it's seriously impressive.

I wonder what happens in the context of Quake, after seeing the community take Doom to places Carmack could never have imagined.

I'm a lot more interested in how people mess with the rules of the game without necessarily breaking them, leading to some super subversive storytelling, rather than just porting the code onto a smart fridge or some shit.

I agree API dev doesn't seem particularly special. Really boils down to async calls with a chance of never hearing back. But maybe I'm that out of touch...
Even if it is trivial though, I've had a recruiter ask me for specific examples of any API experience I have, and of course proceeded to ghost me.

Skipping k8s management makes a ton of sense to me, especially since that should be considered more of a DevOps job anyway. But since you say to do CI/CD first, I assume you mean I should go through the entire flow where I submit commits and have the "CD" deploy to the cloud k8s? Seems like I'd still need to be able to bring up my own local instance to see my code changes during dev, and would need to manage the local k8s.

Security might actually be the way to go long-term! The way I see it, it has to be verifiable (not possible to depend on AI) and can't be outsourced (at least not to any adversarial country). I'll definitely look into that!

What was your playbook to get into infosec?
Presumably the fan isn’t really exposed to much other than atmospheric air at atmospheric. There’s generally Less dust outside than inside. I’m doubting humidity has much effect on fans.

I suspect biggest failure mode for fans are the bearing’s lubrication drying out. Sometimes this can be serviced (with much difficulty) or take the efficiency hit and use a thicker grease that doesn’t evaporate as fast.

Nice thing is that they’re not a critical part here, and it’s diminishing returns so if you have multiples and 1 fails, you’re still ok.
The low quality problem with primary research publications is not the writing but poor experimental design, misrepresenting experimental results, shoddy statistical analysis, and putting null results into file cabinets. Summarizing research findings isn't the crux of the problem, so if anything if an LLM can help the author perform a clearer and more concise writeup I'd see it as a net benefit.
im a bit of a rtos baby but (mostly in ti's really nice rtos), i'd throw my hat in for Zephyr + nordics stuff (i think?) for all the build automagic

A quick search suggests that it's because historically clay tile roofs didn't do well in environments that regularly drop below freezing (like Colorado). It sounds like newer materials can handle freezing weather fine, so our usage of asphalt probably is just a cultural habit at this point.

I did this once - a compacting collector for C. it was a really trivial mark/sweep - and as I recall you had to write functions for each type to perform the object graph traversal. for artificial memory-intensive workloads it was around 8x the performance of boehm.
It's beautiful. It's a double LP but only takes up 3 sides.

The remaining side has audio code from the game etched into it.
I’m not sure about equal as life can be messy (you have a cash flow problem and need to sell now, the buyer knows that - can that be equal?) but certainly fair should be a good start.

I wonder with great interest which one of these got hashicorp worries about their wallet enough to make this move. Could it be env0 raising 42M earlier this year?
With center of gravity, adding a person far away from the center moves the center more than if you added them closer to the center.

Wolfram alpha was doing those things and more way before gpt was a thing. I don't think any of the attributes you listed make intelligent machines interesting..
We've seen people in high places be plied and exhibit favoritism as a result of remarkably unremarkable gifts.

> All possible ways you can pop out particles from the vacuum that interacts with your experimental particle and pop back into the vacuum etc.

This is a neat statement, but really those diagrams are notation for elements in a perturbation expansion series. Nothing in the theory says that these particles actually pop out and actually interact with the incoming/outgoing momenta. In fact they travel off-shell so we know that they cannot be physical.
No idea. I contributed 8ish years ago when vault was a significantly smaller project (it was 9mo old at the time) and IIRC there was nothing like hosted hashicorp back then. I just wanted to put into vault a CA keypair I used easyrsa to generate and that didn't work without a good deal more crypto plumbing, and I tried to make it a bit more futureproof while I was there. I had no real idea that 8 years down the road I would be tired of corpo life and tired of having to fight to contribute to OSS and might want to earn money in that sphere.

Today, absolutely. I would simply choose another piece of software to build on and contribute to. Or build my own if I thought something open enough and good enough didn't exist yet.
Perfect blend of nostalgia, aesthetics, gameplay, simplicity not to mention that id software releasing everything open source at the end has continued development and created a massive amount of third party content, mods, etc. The same applies to Doom, Duke Nukem and to a lesser extent a few other older fps games.
Really cold seasons are cold around the clock... in the neotropical summer many people do go out running between 5AM and 7AM because it's fine to be outside when it's 75°-85°F outside.

At subtropical latitudes a low elevation desert climate with high temperatures overnight is very much the exception, not the rule. Likewise, it's unusual to have cold bright sunny seasons because few of us live in the Andes:

The hot subtropics are often bright even when it's muggy. This 24/7 makes one (even without going out jogging) feel less cooped up inside than the double whammy of low annual insolation gloom in so many cold latitudes when it's cold (even without having to walk in nor shovel snow).
Now my comment is wrong, haha https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/commit/a7135c000b55fbc2...
Hashicorp goes out of business
It will be interesting to see if this line starts moving back north if (when?) summers and heat in general continue to be this brutal. I'm a native Floridian and love it here, but I'll be damned if I haven't given thought to moving back somewhere a little more temperate after these past 2-3 months.
`Duping Delight' (Duper's Delight)
The definition from the web site Psychopaths In Life:

> Duping delight is a particular micro expression a person will display that betrays a sense of enjoyment they are getting out of controlling and deceiving another person. It is a very important expression to watch out for in catching dishonesty in a person. In fact it is a form of body language pretty much exclusively reserved for pathological character types such as psychopaths.

AWS customers like that there's one bill and one account. Who wants to deal with multiple vendors if they don't have to? It isn't a level playing field when Amazon offers a service.

Amazon could have chosen a cooperative, long-term, strategy and shared some revenue with the authors for some quid-pro-quo, and the world and Amazon, would be better for it. Instead, Amazon chose to cook the goose that lays the golden eggs, now they have to figure it out themselves, and whole ecosystems of services they could have hosted are running away from them.
No way! The Internet is a small place. I remember seeing your original post and feeling very inspired to do something similar. One of these days I will find some time.
This is really cool! So far I have a high score of 65612 :)

Some feedback:

- When opening the help menu, it wasn't obvious how to close it (I think the only way is by pressing '?')

- I like the Goblin music!

- It's a pretty nice interface to play with the instructions and I appreciate the color coding. It would be neat if there was a "sandbox mode" where you could preview the effects of running an instruction, and maybe modify your program once the game is over. I could see this being pretty useful for someone learning ARM assembly.
"The muon, like its lighter sibling the electron, acts like a tiny magnet. The parameter known as the "g factor" indicates how strong the magnet is and the rate of its gyration in an externally applied magnetic field. It is this rate of gyration that is indirectly measured in the Muon g − 2 experiment.

The value of g is slightly larger than 2, hence the name of the experiment. This difference from 2 (the "anomalous" part) is caused by higher-order contributions from quantum field theory. In measuring g − 2 with high precision and comparing its value to the theoretical prediction, physicists will discover whether the experiment agrees with theory. Any deviation would point to as yet undiscovered subatomic particles that exist in nature.[4] "

From Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon_g-2 Standard model g factor should be 2.00233183620(86): https://physics.aps.org/articles/v16/139

TLDR: Standard model says the ratio measured should be about 2 for g, ie g-2 > 0 would indicate contributions from quantum field theory, which are yet to be well understood and could indicate there are more particles responsible for the excess.

You can use gVim as a Notepad on steroids. You have the simplicity and familiarity of Notepad combined with the power vim, e.g. search & replace using regular expressions, syntax highlighting, the ability to delete 5 words by typing ESC d 5 w, plugins like fugitive and so on. I can't select text in neovim by pressing Shift and arrow keys. I can't copy text by pressing Ctrl+C.
Curious what you mean by switching from Aurora to Postgres? AWS offers Postgres on Aurora, and Postgres on regular RDS. Do you mean you switched to RDS, or off of AWS altogether, or something else?

People probably said the same in the transition from simple and reliable ice boxes with ice block delivery to electric fridges.
It did it all first.

They did a lot to open the idea that game mods could be more than cheats and cracks, too.

YC is not trying to be a best fit venture capitalist for every startup in the world. They have a niche focus and applicability. It still might be the best option for some people on The Fringe of that niche. For some startups, it might be a terrible fit, but still the best option on the table.
Here's Hashicorp's financials: https://ir.hashicorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/...

They made $102M of revenue from support in the latest quarter. Their cost for providing the support was $15M, and their entire R&D costs were $54M. (Professional services was a tiny amount of revenue in comparison, and at break-even.)

Clearly support and services could easily generate enough revenue to sustain development. What it can't currently sustain is their $91M / quarter of sales and marketing.
I was about to bring up T-Mobile because fast.com shows AWFUL results for me, revealing that T-Mobile is in fact throttling Netflix.
I'm still not sure if that was written as a joke or a simplified explanation for military personnel who are not engineers (pilots).
There are small projects, hobby projects, and large industrial projects. For hobby projects in C, I am myself very happy with a shell, make, a text editor, git and valgrind.

Imagine developing an embedded device for medical or aerospace hardware : you are going to provide lost of effort into testing. You are going to work with teams of people with varied abilities and experience : it's going to get a little bureaucratic, there are going to have rules and guidelines. Enforcing those with tools remove part of the friction, if done well.
Given the lengths you say you went to to actively stop and sabotage licenced (by you) usage I have to question why you even picked an open source license in the first place?
Highly recommend checking out the Levon Helm documentary from about 10 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMCurMyP4n8

Robertson's obituary alluded to questions over songwriting credits. That came up in Helm's 2012 documentary and autobiography - he thinks he and the other members of The Band were cheated. Robertson refuted that a few years back, and quite forcefully:

To this day, on The Band's songs, I share the publishing and songwriting credit with Levon. The other guys said they wanted to sell their part of the publishing. When we started out, everyone was supposed to write songs. [When they didn't] I thought they were being lazy. But some people can write songs, and some can't. Levon didn't write songs. I gave him credit on some songs because he was around. Garth was a great musician, but he couldn't write. Ringo Starr doesn't write songs. Charlie Watts doesn't write songs, and they don't share publishing credit with the other guys in their groups. After 16 years together, Levon never once mentioned songwriting. When it came up, I was generous about it.

lol, yes it's a numbers game but your rates are off by an order of magnitude IMHO and experience.
It is gatekeeping. The poster was not offering advice, they were being actively discouraging. You can argue shades of grey, but at the end of the day this is an unsolicited discouragement, and an arbitrary out-grouping.

The fact that you don't see this as problematic, is problematic.
Why can't you choose if you go to YC? Plenty of YC companies have not raised A rounds.
Of the states that Bernie won, only seven were solidly Democratic-voting (Washington, Oregon, Vermont, Maine, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and Democrats Abroad). Five more are dem-leaning swing states, or were at the time (Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New Hampshire). The other 11 are solidly Republican: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, and West Virginia, and Alaska. If anything, it was Bernie, not Clinton, who overperformed in Republican-leaning areas.

That's largely because both the 2016 and 2020 generals, and the 2016 and 2020 primaries, were highly split along racial and educational lines. Black voters voted overwhelmingly for moderates in primaries and Democrats in the generals in all three contests, while white voters tended towards the more radical candidates in both primaries and the general (although the Bernie -> Trump vote gets exaggerated, it certainly existed, and his massive upset in Michigan foreshadowed Clinton's weakness there).

> Also because the Democratic primaries were objectively and transparently rigged.

Well, in terms of delegates, sure. But Bernie didn't win the vote, either. Clinton beat him by 12 points, not all that much different from the margin Biden was beating him in '20 prior to him dropping out.

> IIRC wasn’t Sanders polling better against Trump than Clinton? Then again most conceivable candidates probably would have…

The polling was a wash, ish, between the two. But of course the polling was also wrong in undersampling critical demographic groups that probably preferred Sanders to Clinton (although I'll note that Clinton won the primary in Pennsylvania, which she ultimately and decisively lost).

With the benefit of hindsight, maybe Democrats would have done a lot of things differently. (I certainly would have - I was so frustrated after Bernie lost that I ultimately voted third-party, although I might not have had I lived in a competitive state.) But certainly conventional wisdom at the time for virtually anyone in the know was that Trump was very unlikely to win, even as his popularity endured through things it never should have, and I don't necessarily blame them for mis-reading an electorate whose simmering frustration was suddenly at a boil.

My point being that Bernie being right does not mean he was, even with the benefit of hindsight, the correct electoral choice, nor does it mean there's some silent majority of Democrats who want progressive action but aren't voting for it.
Quake 3 was still completely C, IIRC. You might be thinking of Doom 3?
