Glad you're enjoying the puzzle exploration. Curious if you've tried levels 11+ btw? Planning 6-7 moves ahead gets trickier later on, especially when you reach the highest levels of 'Classic' mode.

I get your point about solo games vs blitz chess. Puzzle games aside, when I'm playing solo I tend to prefer Turn-Based Strategy games like HOMM, King's Bounty, Civ, Eador, AOW, etc. a little more than RTS games like SC2, Warcraft, AOE, BfME, DOTA, League, and so on. In multiplayer, RTS can be a lot of fun. Of course the best solo campaigns are always real gold, whether timed or not.

The nice thing about good strategy and puzzle games is that they can be enjoyed in different ways by all types of players who appreciate puzzle solving.
You seem to have a very selective memory on this.

Out and proud USA #1 folk aren't hard to come by, abroad or at home in the US, the notion of American Exceptionalism is championed proportionally just as much (likely more) than a blind adherance to Australia the Lucky Country.

On those two phrases alone the pro American Exceptionalism crowd do seem at their core to be true believers while the majority of those flying the flag of Australia the Lucky Country are all too aware that Horne coined the phrase with a sneer as a back handed complement.

In Germany, it’s 12 weeks for any reason, with counseling, which you can get from the churches or various secular organizations including a German equivalent of Planned Parenthood (ProFamilia).

But after that, birth defects (spotted thanks to the detailed ultrasound and testing everyone gets as part of free maternity care) and of course life/health of the pregnant person are grounds. No fear that getting medical treatment for a miscarriage might get you in legal trouble. No fear that your doctor won’t intervene immediately if your wanted pregnancy starts killing you. No fear that you’re going to be forced to give birth to a child just to watch it die.

A whole lot of women from Poland denied care at home receive it in Germany, which does not tell their oppressive home country on them.

Along with a whole lot of other mitigations, like inexpensive and ubiquitous birth control, free maternity care, a year of partially-paid parental leave, and subsidized daycare, as well as more reliable lifelong assistance for people with physical or intellectual disabilities.

Put more concretely: I was unafraid to go through with a surprise but long-wanted pregnancy at 40 in Germany, knowing that if I needed to end it, I’d be able to.

I take precautions not to be pregnant while visiting my home state because of a rise in maternal deaths and a reasonable hesitation of obstetricians to get involved in high-risk pregnancies (which includes any after 40).

So not really.

Perhaps the only seats left were in an emergency exit row?

Depending on the country and airline, passengers seated in the emergency exit rows need to be at least 12 (EU, UK) to 15 (US, Australia) years old. The IATA definition of “child”, for the purpose of fares, is under 12.

Thus, a narrowbody jet with 3-3 seating could have room for up to six adults but not a single child.

That said, exit rows usually get snapped up quickly so this may be unlikely.

I do wonder if there are statistics on how many of the attempts at creating micro transaction economies fail though. I hope it’s high. I feel like it has to be, but I guess at the same time it’s a question of as long as game sales recoup development costs any micro transaction stuff just needs to cover server and admin costs and then the rest is all profit. But I feel like so many studios go in hoping to recreate Fortnite, Roblox, or gta V and that’s just so unlikely.

On the one hand, I agree with this. I think an awful lot of great art and great work comes from the enforced genius of operating within constraints, and there's a profound feeling that comes from recognizing that kind of brilliance.

I'll also say, though, that there's also something about seeing the results of absolutely turning every nob to 11 - about seeing the absolute unfettered apex of what particularly talented people can actually do with no constraints whatsoever. It's a very different experience, and I deeply respect the genius of making art under constraint, but sometimes you've just gotta put a dude on the moon, you know?

I’m not sure I understand your point. But yes, if you have a construction company and you buy a huge pick-up I still think you might be better off with a van but at least I see your point in buying the pick-up.

Agreed. The one thing PHP demonstrably did better than other langs (other than be a simpler Perl) was be web-first.

Other langs assume you could be doing anything, and here's the extra steps necessary to make it serve pages. PHP assumes the reverse.
You are mixing up a few things. If the set contains infinitely many objects, you cannot talk about proportions anymore, because the probability of every point is zero. Also, the term "measure" has a well defined meaning in mathematics. It's better to not use it synonymous with the term quantity.
Likelihoods and probabilities are both two-argument functions, where you simply change which argument is considered to vary and which one is fixed. The function f(D, theta) = Pr(D|theta) defines the probability of the data D given the parameters theta of a data-generating model. Usually, one holds theta (the model) fixed, and asks for the probability of some data D being generated by that model. But when asking what is the most probable model to have generatey already observed data D, D becomes fixed and theta variable, i.e. how likely was the data under different models? This is measured by the likelihood, L(theta) = Pr(D|theta), where we try to maximize this function over the set of all possible theta for some fixed data D.

If I were charged with this task I'd probably take an actual SQLite DB and write methods to parse data from text files, then process it within SQLite, and serialize it back to the text file when an API method is called or after each processing step. A fresh DB engine, fully re-implemented to match SQLite's API is insane unless you're a prodigy or have a sizable team and will come with numerous downsides.

This. Load balancing based on count assumes every request is served in equal time and resources.

I think what the article misses highlighting is that this is about stateless load balancing which improves throughput at the LB, at the cost of potentially suboptimal distribution.

The other nit I have is calling hashing random, it's not, and a lot goes into selecting hash algorithms for LB that don't result in mass movement of requests every time a server is added or removed from the pool.

If the author wants stateless balanced load and assumes all requests are equal, why not use an approach like round robin?

Beyond that, you can get into more stateful methods that look at CPU use on servers, or any other metric you like to load balance on the resource you care about, ie memory or CPU vs number of open sockets.

It’s a decently large difference. A couple oz of C4 is amazingly effective, no casing required - but an additional couple oz of ball bearings or a copper cone will make something truly scary. [https://youtu.be/AwyniA5ryhY?si=a562j-T8pyQlwaH4]

The casing required for any nitrocellulose based device to do anything dangerous at all will exceed the weight of both of the above and be barely a firecracker. Fragments will be limited in velocity too.

I remember eating at Burger King in a German airport about 20 years ago. I ordered some sort of crispy chicken sandwich with coarse breading. I think it was some sort of local special. The whole thing looked very similar in quality to these advertisements. The lettuce and onions and tomatoes were good and the chicken seemed almost real. The bread was like from a bakery. Haven't had a sandwich like that ever since and I think about it randomly. It seems possible to achieve the standard in their advertisements. People seem to be gradually tolerating lower quality food such that they can get away with what they actually serve today. But I’ve noticed this trend outside of fast food.
The Scheme community seemed to standardize on Oleg Kiselyov's SXML format for XML and HTML: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXML

The initial driver for adoption was that Oleg made an excellent XML parser (SSAX) that used SXML. Then a bunch of people (including me) built new tools to work with SXML, and changed existing tools to use it.

Later, I realized that SXML permitting unnecessary list nesting, which initially seemed sloppy and inefficient, actually has a very useful efficiency property, once you're using immutable lists: you can compose larger XML with a small allocation and no mutation like:

(list some-huge-tree another-huge-tree)

Actually most well-reviewed puzzle games on Steam and mobile do come with some killer background tracks. The echo chess track has been surprisingly popular - anecdotally, one of the early playtesters mentioned they routinely run echo chess in a background tab while working to get into deep focus mode. Granted, the board game version of the puzzle word does music differently for obvious reasons.
To add to this, did you know changing the order of your joins can impact the query plan chosen?
Yes, you're not the first one to express this concern and this thread is addressing the concern in general, not you specifically -- and surmising that the recent emergence of this concern is a result of some vague anti-EV sentiment given that weights have been increasing for years yet the general concern is expressed more frequently only more recently.

Do you have a tip for better sleep?
I have a serious problem with my cardiac rhythms. I can only sleep properly if I go to bed around 2 AM. Needless to say, I'm very tired in the morning, and it seriously hampers my life.

I've tried to change that rhythm, but without much success. If I'm severely sleep-deprived, I'll feel tired early on and I can sleep early. But then I tend to wake up, sometimes around 3-4 AM, and feel exhausted the whole next day. Only when I go to bed at 2 AM and allow myself to sleep until 9-10 AM do I feel relaxed and clearheaded.

I've tried supplements (100 mg magnesium) and diets (oatmeal, banana before bed, etc.) without much success.

Most recently, I learned a tip from a blog that walking for a long session (45-60 minutes) immediately after waking up could help change the rhythm. Do you have any other personal tip? I believe it will help a lot of other people on HN as well. Thanks!
No that is not right at all. I won’t continue.
You asked for JS (JavaScript) and you got a lot of suggestions for books or other resources about that language. But I suggest to not spend too much time with JS and learn TypeScript instead. It will make your life easier, because the compiler helps a lot - especially if your projects grow. The official documentation is very good and should be sufficient for almost everything that you would ever do with TypeScript.

So what's the point of your comment
> Just with SQL Server alone, for decades now you can store BLOB data.

Yes, and for decades, it's been a bad idea for SQL Servers that grow over time.

When you store files in the database, you massively inflate the size of the data file and the transaction log. It makes all your maintenance tasks take longer: backups, restores, high availability, disaster recovery, corruption checking.

To make matters worse, when a new version of the file arrives, people never overwrite the existing file - they store the new version as a new row or object, and keep the old version around too. Space requirements explode exponentially.

If you're dealing with a 10-100GB database, sure, it seems fine at first. But after you start storing files in there, you won't have a 10-100GB database - you'll have a terabyte-sized one, and that's when your maintenance task heartaches begin.
It’s crazy to me how many people in the software industry consider abiding by the terms of the software’s license, rather than some moral imperative to do more, to be “free riding”.

If Hashicorp wanted to stop “free riding” the solution was and is simple: don’t make Terraform open-source.

Open source works well without (much and often any) money involved. Businesses don’t. This is why open source is not an automatic business model.

Except when it isn’t, like in the case of LibreOffice. Terraform is already by far the most popular in its category. It’s pretty obvious that OpenTF will instantly be the superior choice by the merits of the license alone. HashiCorp will have the support of one company while OpenTF will be backed by multiple companies.

Cloud providers like AWS will have an automatic legal incentive to contribute to their providers as a part of the OpenTF project instead of HashiCorp. HashiCorp will be alone on an island.

Other parts of this article basically just say “don’t worry, HashiCorp won’t sue you.” Sorry, that’s not as good as free and open source.

Yes, HashiCorp is moving too slowly. That’s why they have to use the Oracle army of lawyers method, because most of the value in Terraform Cloud can be replicated in a weekend with a Gitlab template. Print the terraform plan out to the MR comments, use Gitlab’s variable management for secrets, manage your state in the backend of your choice, and that’s pretty much it.

Also, the terraform private registry gives you zero benefit over using repository URLs with references to tags/commits/branches. Yet another thing you don’t need terraform cloud for.

TLDR; if we don’t keep TF open source in 5 years everything will become Terraform Cloud - horrible, painful to work with Enterprise-grade BS.

I don’t think forking is bad for terraform ecosystems. It might be bad for HashiCorp, but for community in general it can become that source of competition that will make terraform even better.

Let’s be honest, most of the modules are made by community, there are thousands of modules out there.

HashiCorp recently spent all their love on enterprise related products (like TF Cloud) and almost no love on terraform itself. Our team tried TF Cloud (because it’s HashiCorp, it should be a great product, huh?) and the experience was horrible.

If we let HashiCorp do that licensing trick they as a company won’t have any incentives to improve terraform.

It's a fact that there are numerous people who, for whatever reason, don't take care of their kids while on a flight. That's already a nuisance right now, even though there's no kid-free zone.

Since it's impractical to ban "bad parents" from a flight, they chose to ban kids altogether. This is why we can't have nice things. But "this" are the bad parents, not the companies trying to make a buck. Although I doubt that if everyone was a "good parent", they wouldn't look for some other way to nickel and dime us.
