I have looked on non-comentary playtrough for an hour. I have not expected much, but oh god it was painful to watch. Its just another hyped up game that we seen hundreds time before, that brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

The worst offender until I stopped watching was first fight scene: a group of miners is hit by surprise attack of an incoming spaceship. What game mechanics you think a game developers could employ here? Well of course the ship lands peacefully in the middle of it all, drops around 10 NPC shooting from behind cover (some even armed with just a hatchet!), and leaves before the action is over. What an ambush, 10/10.
The fact how GUI flickers in the background for "+5 XP" and out after few seconds basically in the middle of the screen is just disgraceful. Oh and for a ship kill you get +15, makes sense. Oh and fighting in space is obviously another point and click with managing bars of energy into shields/weapons etc. And tutorial tells you ballistic for armor and energy for shield, yet even in the first fight (before any modofication of your ship is possible [which I pressume becomes later on]) its faster to shoot energy at both shield and armor because it just outdps the ballistic gun. And ofc the guys on ground treat you as a newguy-rookie on job, but you did so good in all your tests you will soon be running this, king, and this is an airlock so put on your helmet.

Oh god I expected nothing and got dissapointed so much still. The only thing worthy of talking about is the setting itself, massive space, and thats it. The game is a blockbuster as any other.

If I were 13 I might get excited for this, but how can anyone with at least few years gaming get excited about any of this is beyond me. And ofcourse all youtubers are treating it as the best game of century, which it will be for a month, and fade into oblivion deeper than cyberpunk.
Uh, it has remained a significant danger in various regions for centuries. Perhaps you are familiar with this "meme"?

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/look-at-me-im-the-captain-now

From a 2013 "big budget" movie (Tom Hanks etc.) about a piracy incident during a period when the Somali coast was notoriously dangerous:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maersk_Alabama_hijacking

If setting out sailing etc., three regions, in particular, absolutely warrant a look into advisories etc.: the waters around Malaysia / south of China / etc., off the east / west coasts of Africa (more recently, west, but sometimes east), and certain areas of the Caribbean.

The ocean is much like other regions with human traffic in the sense of there being "bad areas" ... but, it's also different in ways that kill people all the time. It's not worse than land, per se, but, definitely easy to get into trouble without at least a little education (generally, best to get from reputable people / services that exist in particular regions - of course, you can still get into trouble, but, much less so than people who just hop on vessels with no real experience for "an exciting adventure" ... too easy for it to get way more exciting than almost anyone raised on "Hollywood" movies wants in real life).

How would you say your income compares to total comp in your area according to levels.fyi.
How do you compare to a salaried job at a FAANG type company that has benefits such as paid leave, paternity leave, retirement contributions(not sure if Europe has something similar to 401k), etc

How many hours per week do you spend devoted to your venture: coding, marketing, finding clients.

Based on your domain I’m assuming you have socialized healthcare, so that’s one less risk to consider.

He’s still feeling left out though. That’s one of the worst experiences for any human being of any age anywhere. Rational thinking and justifications cannot solve or permanently remove these emotions, more so at a younger age (I’m not dismissing your son or implying that younger kids cannot have greater awareness and rationality).

I feel sad that he doesn’t have a smartphone (even a locked down one with some restrictions).
> But somehow mathematical books have done just fine without any need for such encodings.

Printed books have no reason to think about encodings. In fact, they can use one-off metal types (or images nowadays) for unusual characters. In return printed books cannot be easily searched if the entry doesn't appear in prepared indices.

> Fonts come in endless variety, and so cannot be encoded into Unicode.

But some fonts convey semantics. For example a normal text does not distinguish two variants of `a`, but IPA does, so Unicode does encode a single-storey `ɑ` separately and unify a double-storey `a` to the normal lowercase `a`. (p. 299 of the Unicode standard 15.0)

Semantics is arguably the only way to judge those cases. If fonts do not matter but glyphs do matter, how would know a particular glyph should be identically encoded to other glyph or not? I think you agree that a double-storey `a` and a single-storey `a` are same characters with different fonts. Semantics is how we decide the "same characters" part!

wxWidgets uses native controls, so just compiling to "WebAssembly" (I'm assuming it's compiled to WebAssembly, plus some JavaScript for DOM manipulation) was probably a significant amount of work. I'm actually curious how it was done!

As someone born in '87, I have no idea what you mean by "screentime wasn't an issue". I think it's more the case that it wasn't an issue for your daughter. I had plenty of fights with my parents about the amount of time I wanted to spend on my computer.

They didn't call it out as a concern, they said at the beginning of the section "Halloween Problem is a database error that a database system developer needs to be aware of."

To be honest, just like you I also thought that it was related to PostgreSQL or other popular SQL databases somehow, until I re-read the section multiple times.
Maybe start your own top level comment thread if you want to talk about that; You specifically replied to a person asking what they can do about it as an individual. Peacefully.

You told them that it wasn’t their place to do anything. When asked to justify your position you invoked “Crusades 2.0” and George Bush.

You’re being blatantly disingenuous.
Not the OP, I think the main difference between then an now is that the internet in the old days wasn’t designed to be addictive, todays social networks and other apps are. For me it’s not about the severity of the the content but the addictiveness.

I remember two of my classmates being addicted to World of Warcraft. They both got problems, one dropped out, one managed to turn around. Today every smartphone game and the social networks are at least as addictive as WoW. Some people will manage it but some won’t.
I don’t know if OPs way to handle it would be the way I handled it but A I don’t have a better idea an B I don’t have kids (yet).
When I met my wife, she loved Snoopy.

She didn't even know that any other characters existed, that there were TV specials, etc. She just knew it as a generic character like Hello Kitty or whatever.
And, let's be honest. Add some of the glaring omissions in emoji. There's no need to use the eggplant emoji between lovers if you can use the real thing. I mean seriously, even the ancient Egyptians knew this: https://unicode-explorer.com/c/130B8 and even more explicit: https://unicode-explorer.com/c/130BA

Of course it will be inappropriate in many situations. Well, guess what, so are many words. Emoji are no longer just fun. They're also a great way for people of different languages to understand each other. No need to make things more difficult to understand and there's also a lot of non-controversial cases for this (doctor my eggplant sparks when the water tap is open is not quite as clear :) )

Of course the level of explicitness can be decided by the font designers, and the big tech companies will no doubt stylise them tastefully. The same way the gun emoji is now a green water pistol.

But I really don't understand leaving this major topic of human interaction out of what is becoming a language. I'm really serious about this. Any service, website or app not wanting to support them can simply block them just like they already do certain words, and it's much easier to do than a filter on words which can be bypassed by misspelling, inserting spaces etc. This is how 'pr0n' became a word. With emoji you can't do this.

I'm a bit tired of the tech sector pushing American prudeness on the whole world. Here in Barcelona you can buy waffles in the shape of penises and vulvas with strategically placed white chocolate and eat them on the street but a tastefully stylised emoji is not ok? Different cultures have different standards and Unicode was supposed to represent everyone.
How about seizing NYPD assets and calling in the National Guard after removing everyone, collecting their data in a massive database so that they get blackmarked wherever else they would go for employment? I guess there would be an inherent risk of such a draconian policy, considering it was the American MO in Iraq, but then again, that's Iraq and this is America. Just a thought.

> multiple encodings for the same code point

I'm fairly sure a good fraction of these are due to the desire for compatibility:

PDF: https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode15.0.0/ch02.pdf#G110...

> Conceptually, compatibility characters are characters that would not have been encoded in the Unicode Standard except for compatibility and round-trip convertibility with other standards. Such standards include international, national, and vendor character encoding standards. For the most part, these are widely used standards that pre-dated Unicode, but because continued interoperability with new standards and data sources is one of the primary design goals of the Unicode Standard, additional compatibility characters are added as the situation warrants.

Round-trip convertibility is important for interoperability, which is important for getting the standard accepted. A data encoding standard that causes data loss is not acceptable, and trying to impose such on the world would have rightfully failed.
> The meteor location is not known to within tens of km. CNEOS reports locations to ±11 km. Siraj & Loeb (arXiv, not reviewed) try to use the Manus Island seismometer’s detection of the airburst to refine this. If the explosion arrived at 271.0±0.5 s it was 83.9±0.7 km away. 7/20

> 1 person == 1 vote

...within the region the person lives so as to avoid a few large clumps of city dwellers living on 2% of the land area ruling it all over the 'rednecks' in the 98% 'flyover country'. Those city dwellers would not like to have countryfolk lording it over them either so why should the opposite be taken as a given? This may work for a small country like the Netherlands where a fast cyclist can cross the whole country within a day but it does not for a large one like Canada where there are provinces the size of large countries with a population less than a large town - Nunavut covers a larger area than Mexico with a population below 40.000.

A better solution would be to split the vote into a few parts, each relating to specific areas of government. National matters - national defence, international relations, more or less the core tasks of a narrowly defined "small government" - can go directly according to the 1 person/1 vote principle and as such will be shaped by city dwellers. Regional (or 'state' in USA terms) matters are a different story, here it makes more sense to let the people living in the region have enough of a voice to be truly represented without being outnumbered by the large voting blocks in a few large cities on the other side of the country. Local matters should be decided by those living in the directly affected area - city, town or county.

This ends up looking quite a lot like the structure theoretically used in the USA which also shows the problems which arise when such a model is used with larger governmental domains - national and state - expanding their powers by taking them away from lower levels.
> He’s still feeling left out though.

It’s not just feeling left out. It’s literally being left out. Tons of socializing happens on phones, like it or not. An 8-10 year old will be able to tell you which classmates have a “crappy” phone or no no phone. Just ask them.

I personally think it sucks and it’s a huge burden on people that aren’t well off, but that’s the way it is.

Yes and yes: I use syncthing, and I just want it to make the changes in the background. My best case scenario is never opening the Syncthing app again, because it's quietly doing it's thing in the background, sometimes on data.

Otherwise, my girlfriend, parents, and likely 90% of the people you know all use photo backup. Whether it's iCloud, Google Photos, or a NAS, we all want the option to use mobile data, and likely want it to simply run in the background.
> Making people needlessly uncomfortable when communicating is a shortcoming regardless of your intellectual capacity.

Emphasis on needlessly. Some bluntness is a good thing, even if it makes people uncomfortable. The alternative usually is prolonged awkwardness and beating around the bush, which likely will make people uncomfortable anyways. Just get it over with like an adult. Don't drag an uncomfortable thing out or even risk people not getting the message at all the first time around.
The big challenge with any kind of written media is that it is paid by the view. So 5 minute clickbait was an article that took a week pay the same.

I don't know if I would say it's a "major social problem", more like a mild negative. Some teenagers primarily use Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook Messenger. And outside of the US Whatsapp is very common. All these get around the chat bubble color issue.

You read too much.
There’s a lot of underground restaurants and bars in Sydney, and many of them have started using QR code only ordering. Only problem is phone reception is really spotty in a lot of the basement venues, and not all of them have wifi.
You’re confusing concurrency with parallelism. A single-threaded event loop a la node is indeed concurrent. Multiple threads a la the Kotlin IO pool you mention would be both concurrent and parallel. Concurrency isn’t about different parts of the code actually executing at the same time, merely about being able to structure and think about code as if it were executing that way.
Yeah I've used Gleam but unfortunately using a language for production apps that is not well supported as Rust and even Elixir is is a dealbreaker for me. Gleam is fun to play around with though.

> Printed books have no reason to think about encodings

Exactly! It's the visual that matters. If you cannot print Unicode text on a sheet of paper and know its meaning, then Unicode has gone into a ditch.

> printed books cannot be easily searched if the entry doesn't appear in prepared indices

Are you going to invent a new encoding for every distinct use of the letter 'a'? That's not remotely possible.

> But some fonts convey semantics

People invent new fonts every day. Hell, I've invented fonts! Your mission to encode them all into Unicode is an instantly hopeless task. Again, semantics are divined from context. I know a mathematical 'i' from the english letter 'i' and the french letter 'i' and the bullet point 'i' and the electric current 'i' by context, and so do you and everyone else. I even use the letter 'A' to represent an Army in my computer game Empire. Nobody has a problem divining the meaning. (and B for Battleship, S for Submarine , etc.)

There is some unintended comedy that's mostly internal to Wikipedia in this regard:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Native_American_peopl...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_people_of_Na...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_people_who_s...

That's right, there are three separate categories just to describe American people's relationship to Indian descent, and there's a clear delineation between people who've "claimed" ancestry vs. people with "substantiated" ancestry, vs. people who are actual members of tribes.

There's also a real systemic problem among biographies of African-American people. Of course they are often placed into relevant A-A categories, but there is frequently no mention at all in the article about the person's race/ethnicity. All categories must be substantiated by text in the article that is cited to a reliable source. It is extremely interesting that, often, newspaper and magazine articles covering African-American people do not mention their race, or the race of their parents if they cover their early lives. So sometimes, it is non-trivial to find a reliable source that substantiates a person's A-A identity. Otherwise, those categories need to be removed.

Another thing that happens in biographies, is that a person's descent may be documented for a while, and several race/ethnic categories duly added, but then someone removes that documentation and the sources from the article, but not the categories, and so the categories are left, dangling and unsubstantiated, with no record of how they got there except the diffs in history.
Yes, cognitive dissonance might be the correct description of this, thanks! still, the definition of it holds for this case.
I also don't want to rely on speculation / jumping to conclusions, but just the same, don't want it entirely dismissed as some outrageous "cannot happen" thing. Serious research needs to be done.
