The first KSP game is still a stellar experience, if you pardon the pun - especially if you install a few graphics mods to make it prettier.

KSP2 has a lot of potential, and is very pretty, but unfortunately also requires a pretty beefy machine to run well - and even with a beefy machine, it can still stutter quite a bit. I honestly am not sure if I own KSP2 or not - my Steam library is like most people's, and I often treat game purchases a just a "you did a good thing, here's some money" - but I certainly can't run it on any hardware in my house.
I agree with those things, but we both see how unworkable it is. It hurts the monied class and edifice that holds up the house of cards made of people who produce no real value other than pulling levers in the casino.
The future is bleak, and that's why I chose to never bring children into this mess. The line ends with me.

I remember it used to be an optimization thing in Windows 9x to compact the registry on startup. I am surprised that it's not really resolved.
In rust it is yes because rust statically guarantees that you don't have data races (in safe rust at least). So you have marker traits `Send` and `Sync` which indicate that a type can be sent between threads (Send) or shared between threads (Sync) safely. So for a multi-threaded executor which can scheduler tasks on different threads when they resume has to make sure futures are `Send` whereas a single-threaded executor does not have that constraint.
Map style licensing – another comment
I would argue that the shared feature set is quite reasonable. You get coroutines, you get Ktor, date/time libraries, kotlinx.serialization. You even get metaprogramming via KSP.

I basically only write expect/actual implementations to talk to platform APIs, but even those, when abstracted correctly behave just like a normal API to users.

You still write the UI layer natively. IMO this is a positive not a negative unless you're working on a product that doesn't care about native UX. And if you REALLY want a shared UI layer, Compose Multiplatform seems to be right around the corner.
I recognize this is anecdata, but the first concussion I got was playing Rugby - the first day I went out - not all the years I spent playing American Football up to that point. American Football is a far more controlled game, and the bodies are spread out over more of the field. I believe both of these points are important differences to understand injury risk. With Rugby, the pace is non-stop and the bodies are massed closer together. The lack of protective gear is also a factor.

In terms of perception - American Football is simply better known. I bet if you stood on a street corner and asked 50 people to tell you something about Rugby, they would describe it as soccer but you get to carry the ball.
Sprinkle in a dash of car-industry lobbying and suburban sprawl
It’s improved over the last 6 months or however long it’s been. But it’s still a shadow of ksp1, while ksp2 was sold with breathless discussions of interstellar ships with colonization and a bunch of stuff that would really have made it a next generation on ksp. But instead it’s still a year or more from parity with a laughable cadence of improvements, minor patches coming out every two months. This is after they slipped their deadline repeatedly on early access.

I think the community and reviews would be different if the parent company hadn’t outright screwed the original developer of KSP, which was a beloved game. The drama around that poisoned a lot of community good will, because the original developers clearly had a love for the game and the community and made something unique, then were unceremoniously dumped and cut out of what was supposed to be a well funded effort to build KSP “right.” Then they release this as “right” and it’s a huge disappointment.

The thing about outliers is they don't negate general trends.
That's the case in any predictably supply restricted market. That behavior completely disappears if you don't restrict supply, because if people can build more housing, housing depreciates - and investors put their money somewhere else because they don't want to lose it.
It's nearly always a strawman, waiting for someone to come along and rescue it with a steelman. And that seems to be what Bergson is trying to do.

I mean yes, of course, the undergraduate Physics student is being handed a packet of metaphysics when they get the Einstein lectures on SR and GR. And it's very seductive, if you can crack through enough of the math to hear the music in it. The idea that Einstein is a "continuator of Descartes" just means you can learn all that stuff, get A's in every single class at Cal Tech or someplace else, and in the end you are still left with the exact same Dualism.

That might be a valid critique of Science in general, but I don't see how it attacks Einstein. There is also a more subtle point about the history of measurement. We started to depend on accurate measurement of time when we needed it to circumnavigate the planet. Even without Einstein we still needed the Lorentz and Fitzgerald corrections to the classic Newton equations. It would have happened without Einstein, and maybe we'd have different metaphysics in that case. That idea is more interesting to me than what Bergson seems to be offering.
Hey; I couldn't comment on your post about your dream but I wanted to tell you dreams are real, and all the things you dreamed of also are. HN is not the right place to talk about it all. Few understand the world humans live inside of is in itself imaginary, only created and maintained by our limited perception of awareness. You wanted more info and resources, thus I highly recommend you read Robert Monroe's trilogy: Journeys Out Of The Body, Far Journeys, Ultimate Journey. I promise you, you wouldn't regret it. In fact you might need it for the next few years. Best.

Maybe it's the era when I started working, but for ICs, I think 2-5 years is the sweet spot. Any shorter and you weren't fully productive at the company and never built connections. Any longer and your skills get too tied to the company and your perspective become stale.

I'm wrapping up a read of Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry. What an amazing "epic" book. It will certainly go down as one of the great pieces of American literature. I strongly recommend it.
I'm not sure it should be phrased that way. The rationale for such laws is to ensure an efficient allocation of labor. An expected side-effect of efficient allocation is higher wages as employees take the best paying job they're suited for but it's not like the point of the law is to make McDonalds pay 25$/h for a fryer.

> [1] The legislation underscores New York's commitment to addressing wage disparities and promoting transparency in compensation practices across the state. It ensures that employees have access to vital compensation information, and empowering them to make informed decisions about their careers.

> It is incomplete in that it cannot replace older ideas of time in all contexts. It is perfectly valid/complete for use in scientific contexts.

It seems to just be saying: your theory uses clocks to illustrate it but doesn't include the history of clocks. I don't think that's quite what you're describing.

>For example, in the producer framework households receiving wage or investment income from a power plant are responsible for the direct emissions it generates, while in the supplier framework households receiving wage or investment income from selling financial services or fossil fuel to that power plant are responsible for the plant’s emissions, proportional to their importance as a supplier

This approach seems questionable. In that model there's some sort of joint responsibility between the producer and the consumer. However, I argue that if someone is driving a SUV, he alone is responsible for all the emissions. I'm not sure why you'd get to blame whoever owns the oil company. After all, the only reason why the oil company is drilling for oil is that people want the oil, so it's questionable to blame the owner. If the driver switched to EVs, the oil consumption will disappear.

>The article also correctly points out that the poorest half of the US also generates as many emissions as the middle 40% of Europe while being "almost twice as poor", so this is not at all about "downgrading their lifestyles". Even poor people in the US have a larger footprint than wealthier people than them in Europe.

I'm not sure what your point is? "Just be like europe"? "America bad"?

>If you consider anything moving away from all produce available year-round, nearly identical products released every year with an artificially shortened lifespan, AC/heating running constantly because of a complete lack of insulation [...] and disposable everything

How much do those measures move the needle? For instance single use plastics (ie. "disposable everything") is basically a non-issue when it comes to overall greenhouse emissions, and might even be better than the alternatives in some cases (eg. https://www2.mst.dk/udgiv/publications/2018/02/978-87-93614-...)

>car-centric infrastructure because of a complete lack of walkable cities or public transport [..] then yes, it will require lifestyle downgrades

Since US is sparsely populated, not having cars is most definitely a lifestyle downgrade. You could argue "but we can just make public transport better!" but the economics just don't work as well compared to europe, so you'd pay more and/or pay less which is still arguably a downgrade. Moving to denser/"walkable" cities rather than suburbs is also a solution, but is also a downgrade. Except to the most diehard urbanists, most would prefer a 4 bedroom house in the suburbs with a yard than a 3 bedroom apartment.

> It has come to the attention of the St Helena Government that members of the public may have acquired, imported and be currently using terminals, such as Starlink, for the purposes of internet connectivity. Using such terminals is in contravention of the exclusivity of current telecommunications licencing arrangements made under section 3(4) of the Telecommunications Ordinance 1989. From 1 November 2023 anyone using such a terminal will be liable to be subject to a ‘ceaseand desist’ order issued on behalf of the Government. A cease and desist order is an instruction to stop using terminals, and continue to refrain from using terminals, whilst the exclusivity of the current telecommunications licencing arrangements remain in force. Any breach of such a cease and desist order may result in the confiscation of the equipment.

Starlink seems to be illegal to protect the government’s investment in a monopoly on the main satellite.
That is very interesting, and I suppose it speaks to the historical amnesia among IT specialists, since I believe the majority of us don’t really see ourselves as belonging to the working class.
Lots of people are specific, but it's a HUGE set of laws, and they're slightly different in different places. Like if someone says to you "supply restrictions due to single family zoning", someone else will say "Well Houston doesn't have that", but Houston allows you to sue your neighbor if they cast a shadow on your property, so it's a different method that gets to the same result.

Yes, please let us get away from them. If you've ever browsed Twitch, you'll see them with tens of thousands of viewers... but when you join the channel, engagement is sparse.

The reason this happens is because they embed their Twitch stream into every. page. you. visit. This is slimy, annoying, and slows the loading.

I haven’t yet tried KMP, but I think Kotlin in general is slept on here on HN. My experience is on the server side with both Micronaut and Spring Boot and it’s such an ergonomic language to write in. It’s probably my favorite language thus far.
> Claiming that we're close to literally executing employees in the office is absolutely ridiculous.

I think from a "do we care about the people we employ" perspective the whole idea of laying people off and then hiring them back is callous at best, and psychopathic / sociopathic at worst. The conditions these actions create at the companies people are employed at are toxic and negative.

I've never had a 400k salary, I've barely cracked six figures. The reality is that the class war actions taken have decimated the middle and lower end of the tech job market and people like me are just plain fucked with little options other than burger king when you get done doom scrolling the same 10 job boards every day. It doesn't matter if you've done DBA or are a competent developer with real world experience, once you get kicked down the ladder you are black-marked for life. Good luck getting back up when the ladder has been set on fire and the ashes dropped on your head.

Yeah, I had to unsub from the subreddit during the development years since everyone was eating up the hype videos and any attempt at questioning the lack of actual meaningful info was just downvoted and flamed.

I still check the sub every once in a while though, and it seems like nowadays the hopium/copium is mostly gone. Player numbers are embarrassingly low and even the "most of the game is already done, they just want feedback and will quickly add in the promised features after refining" argument from launch is also undeniably dead with the total lack of new content.

In terms of content creators, I very much appreciated Scott Manley having been up front with saying that he didn't recommend buying the game at launch given that he was THE original KSP-tuber.
> With KMM the promise is that you can have a native app in one of the major platforms (Android) and a good-enough app for the other major platform (iOS).

> You might be able to write UI and business logic in Kotlin for your Android app, and easily port it to iOS to kick-start your app journey. When the app becomes big enough (and you choose so) you can write a native iOS UI and still share the business logic between the 2 apps.

This seems like the less common order, anecdotally.
That would -rock-.
I feel like it should just be "Humans are and have always been characterized by their failure to plan for the future". All of history is just a rise and fall of empires due to unforeseen or unexpected consequences, followed by an advance in technology. Who are you to say that gen X or any other generation will correctly plan for the future(as we currently navigate some of the biggest hurdles to humanity and the Earth in general)?
> Someone skipping fare

This, obviously, isn't what raises fear in people. "Safer" for some statistics, like a car crash, but also much less safe for things like getting stabbed, spit on, confronted. Sure, it's somewhat rare on public transport, but they're exactly zero in my car, at freeway speeds.

edit: A quick google search shows two stabbings, one slit throat, and a page full of fights, in my area, over the last two years. While the statistics are low, in terms of per person*miles, this real difference, and the 2hr vs 30 minute times, is what keeps people and families in cars. Fundamental changes are needed.
Twitter seems to be at that point where Wile-E-Coyote has already run off the cliff and is still treading thin air. Airplanes can glide a great distance even after the engine has been turned off. I'd be willing to bet Twitter is basically gliding now that all that staff that powered the engine is gone.
I think a more likely scenario is this will force studios back to the table with SAG-AFTRA to get the industry moving again as quickly as possible.

If the deal really is as good as the WGA is claiming, it also bodes well for the actors since their demands were largely aligned, and one union being able to achieve concessions gives others leverage on same/similar issues.

Or if they were just constantly prompted by outside stimulus. And if they could interact with the real world allowing them to observe cause and effect. In other words, if they were embodied.
I think modern Java has stolen a lot of Kotlin’s thunder. The differences between the languages shrink with each Java release, and server side Kotlin isn’t evangelized by its main cheerleader, google.

It’s a GC language, so rust/zig are not good comps. Go, Java, Scala, Server side JS/Node, or python. These are the comps.

Personally, I’ve written a number of non-trivial, server side applications in Kotlin. The extra cost of asking my colleagues to learn another language and some pain in the interop with Java has dampened adoption. It’s a shame, I find the coroutine library a joy to use, with none of the painful drawbacks of go, node, python, etc.
The question was whether a scene can be subject to copyright and I answered that question. Whoever downvoted it probably doesn't get basic aspects of photography

If I am the photographer and I set up decorations, lights etc. then the scene itself is my creative work. The other guy will have trouble claiming any copyright over his photo of the same scene because it is based on my creative work.

Not in this case because the scene is naturally occurring. So we can move on to other things that make the final photo like sensor capture and processing

Another reason... Households with more than one gamer struggle with sharing.

Sometimes I'll play Zelda. Sometimes my daughter. Probably not at the same time. A physical fame means I can do that.

Meanwhile on steam if she wants to access my library, only one of us can be playing games at any time in the day. Steam has gone back and forth with their requirements on sharing unofficially... And it is incredibly frustrating.

Edit: Physical copies have rules on the ability to play it (you have the physical copy = you can play) and those rules don't change. But digital can be anything anytime for any reason.
"Irrational" is a strange way to describe it. People don't go around memorizing statistics of how likely someone who is exhibiting one kind of antisocial behavior (being obviously high, defecating in public, etc.) would be to engage in another kind of antisocial behavior (committing physical violence upon another person). And especially when the cost of making the wrong judgment is high, it's entirely rational to want to avoid it entirely.

> Old people seem to suffer from this irrational feeling more than younger.

Old people generally have more to lose. Young people, especially young males, are well known to think of themselves as invincible.

For things where the scientific process doesn't help we have no objective way to conclude anything. Thus debates about topics like Abortion or Gun control where different rights and belief system exist in conflict with each other. Typically neither side will acknowledge the others position as having any validity, but if you can find someone in a different tradition that supports (or seems to support) your position you will say they are authoritative despite there being no objective fact in the first place.
