> Most games you play nowadays is winnable. And when it isn't people complain why isn't it winnable.

> Well... It's why they're not impactful.

Today's landscape in of videogame design is much wider than "winnable"/"unwinnable".

There's plenty of "unwinnable" games if one wants nowadays - they're called "hard". There is even the "faithful retro NES" subgenre, which reproduces NES design and difficulty. There are definitely impactful hard games, when well produced (I don't like them, but I guess games like Super Meat Boy have a lot of fans).

There's a reason why, on the other end of the spectrum, there are "easy" games; their objective is to provide an experience rather than a challenge - and also on this side of the spectrum, there is an extreme end - the walking adventures.

Old/unwinnable game of the past doesn't imply "impactful" at all; there was plenty of garbage back then.

There's still plenty of garbage nowadays of course[¹], but there are experience-oriented games that are "impactful" - think of the Bioshock series, or even What Remains of Edith Finch.

There is one aspect of the past that is gone forever, and it's the mystique that some games had for people who couldn't access gaming media.

If, 30+ years ago, one couldn't finish a game (for any reasons), the ending was a mystery. Nowadays, one just looks on Youtube. I have very ambiguous feelings about this, though, as it also carried frustration.

[¹] Although I think that, nowadays, due to the lower bar to production, people with good design skills and poor programming skills, can still produce a remarkable game.

JVMs also produce machine code ;) In practice LLVM is designed for C/C++ like languages. You can use it for other things but not easily. GraalVM is the closest thing to a universal VM so far, but even then, it's more optimized for high level languages than stuff like Rust (even though it can run those).
Oddly, for me the feedback of the computer is too fast for thinking. I like being able to write a bit before thinking about some details.

More, I find that forcing myself to run the code in my head is a good idea.

That all said, I don't do the paper thing often. Really only when thinking at a level other than the symbolic of text. Some system diagrams. Sometimes numeric. I suspect if I got good at Mathematica, I'd do more numeric thinking there.
That is damn impressive considering the age of the project. Kudos for getting signoff from all relevant parties!
We leverage Arm instances in Depot [0] to power native Docker image builds for Arm and I would say we see a lot of performance improvement in with machine start, requests per instance, and overall response rate. Granted, we aren't throwing the number of requests at our instances that this test is looking at. But, we are throwing multiple concurrent Docker image builds onto instances and generally speaking, they do great.

All of that to say, I think the t3/t4 instance used in this test is a bit problematic for getting a true idea of performance.

> Taxes don't change every street

Ha. Oh boy. I remember when an engineer at a POS system start-up said something similar. It's like when someone decides they're going to roll their own time zone calculation.

In case you're curious, yes, two people in the same city can be in different counties, different school districts, different water boards, et cetera. Each of those typically has taxing authority. And this is before we get into crap like urban enterprise zones [1].

Could someone who understands these licenses ELI5?
To be clear, he did not lose the deposit on the house because he was put on a performance plan. He lost the deposit on the house because his ability to finish the house he was building was predicated on his salary, which is a normal requirement when you apply for a mortgage.

He says:

> My wife and I decided to sell our house, take the money, and use it to build a bigger house because we have a large family.

This seems to actually mean 'we decided to sell our house, take the money and use it as a deposit on a loan for a bigger house'. As I understand, he did not actually have the cash to buy the bigger house.

> So I lost my job. I was building a house. I lost my house because I couldn't close on that. I lost $110,000 that there's no way I'm going to get back.

He did not 'lose' his job. He quit. He mentions that he processed a big refund for a customer—it's indeed possible that this caused him to be flagged for closer scrutiny. He mentions that he refused to shadow other TAMs to see what they do. He mentions behaviour from his manager which is broadly consistent with how a manager would treat an underperformer (minuted references to failures to meet documented expectations).

His deposit is big but he's building a house. It's not the construction firms' fault he can't follow through, and it is reasonable that he 'loses' it (although again, the circumstances here are a bit unclear—he doesn't have anything at all to show for that money? Not even the land?)

I'm no big Amazon fan, but this seems a bit of a storm in a teacup. He chose not to follow the recommendations of his manager when he was on a PIP, decided to take matters into his own hands and resign, collected a severance package, and now complains that he can't get a mortgage any more now he doesn't have a job.
HTTPie (the CLI version) is great and was a big improvement for me over cURL.

Many addresses in slightly-more-rural Australia work like this. The road I grew up on was numbered by the 10s of metres from the main road. 192 was 1.92 KM from the main road.
Behind the scenes, look for when they are "marking," which is leaving little piece of tape or otherwise on the ground where the actors are standing. The focus puller will make indications on their focus ring to match these; as long as the actor "hits their mark" the focus will be dead on. A majority of time the operation is fully manual (though possibly remote to the camera)
This video is making so many mistakes. From claiming that LCDs use "a separate light bulb for each pixel" to claiming that retro games "run at 30FPS".
Ask HN: Tools for Mind-Mapping / Concept-Mapping
Hi, HN!

I'm looking into various types of tools that can be used for mind-mapping, and specifically I'm trying to find out whether there are some tools that enable easy editing, ideally both on desktop and mobile, and also have visualization options that let you share the mindmap through a website (for example by generating an HTML-file).

There are existing open-source tools for mind-mapping like Freeplane[1], but the software is a bit bloated and limits your ability to edit and view the mind map easily on any device. Then you have tools for visualizing Markdown lists, which makes it very easy to create and edit on any device (for example Markmap[1]), but they don't let you create connections between any two nodes (it is only hierarchical structure). Graph views have become popular through for example Obsidian and Logseq, but those are graphs for notes/documents, and not exactly mind maps.

My use case is to create an overview of ideas and concepts, tied to the titles of research papers (to easily have a reference for more details). I have often created mind maps on paper, but I quickly run out of space. Anyone has any interesting options or suggestions? :)

EDIT: Maybe I should have used to term "concept map" instead of "mind map", since I'm looking for something that enables many-to-many relationships.

I personally tend to think better when I'm away from the computer.

Coding on the IDE helps me to experiment and quickly put something together that works.

But thinking while writing things down or while walking is a slower process, so it helps me focus on nothing but the problem obvious edge cases, different solution designs, etc...

So by thinking about the code away from the IDE first, then by polishing my ideas on the IDE, I usually end up with higher quality code.

But since it's less fun to do things that way, I just tend to do everything on my IDE.

Well, that's the complicated part. For NTSC content, you might use an NTSC shader with a color hack or shadow mask, integer scaling, and either RBG, composite, RF, or S-Video depending on the generation of console or cabinet you're going for. Some people just want to recreate the experience of their childhood TV, others want to model a quirk of a specific tube or board rev. Lots of options!

> "Grand Designs" doesn't show the dream projects that fail miserably

Great analogy, seriously. As a big fan of that program (cathartic if you have any real state project going on) let me add that I have seen programs in which the house is not finished after 8 years; some in which rooms projected for kids are not needed because they are going to college; and couples that start together, and by the end of the program are divorced (or one of them passed) by the end of the program. It really puts things into context.

Also, my favourite, when 80% of the participants casually say they want to be in by Christmas, summer vacations, New years next year, and the host smiles and says something like (let's see).

That might be an acceptable shelf-life if it's the original Aiwa Sealed Lead-Acid design, which should have a maximum shelf-life of 8 years. Would still be very iffy though.

The newer NiCd and NiMh designs would be useless of course, shelf lives of about 3 years for both.

We have been using TypeORM for last 2 years now. Found it quite suitable for our use case. Didn't come across any big issue.

But the projects we did with it where not very high scale. Less than 5 requests per second. So a single server affair.
It's a U-curve as well. Very poor people have low standards when it comes to raising children and less qualms about raising families on welfare with limited opportunities. Once people become educated and middle class but still poor, they have higher aspirations for their children and are less prone to have children if they know they won't be able to provide an adequate standard of living. Rich people have typically an above average number of children. I was mostly talking about the middle class, the ones who are educated but still poor.
Still not a reason to not leverage the database. Use something like Postgres' ARRAY_AGG; reduces the duplicates, faster and better than rolling your own JOINs in your app.
Pseudocode isn't coding, but sufficiently advanced pseudocode is indistinguishable from Python.

Regardless, I don't see why the parent would have necessarily mentioned pseudocode for any reason?

Improved interop with other open source programs because they used to have a 'one off' license. That makes using ZeroMQ harder than it should be because there is always the question of whether or not their license is more or less permissive than the one that you've picked for your project and risks future unintended side effects. This move should lay that all to rest.

Back in 2014, I was rebuilding the core of an event processing engine. At the time, the decision was between Apache Kafka and rolling our own. After investigating Zookeeper, we decided to roll our own and chose ZeroMQ as the messaging layer as our on-prem customers probably didn't want to own and manage Zookeeper.

ZeroMQ was absolutely solid and stable; incredibly trouble free and the only issues we ran into were when IT teams didn't open the ports we documented in the configuration procedure. (The resultant architecture actually looks a lot like Flink)

In any case, ZeroMQ is a fantastic piece of technology that I feel like I don't see out in the wild quite enough. It's dead simple and incredibly stable from my experience.

Well if you declare that anything your router can't place can not exist then yes.

The main difference is the LGPL works at the “library” level, and requires the source for the library is open source. It requires in particular you can replace the library, which means you can’t really static link to it from a closed source program (or open source but LGPL incompatible license).

MPL works on the “source file” level. You have to release any changes you make to MPL licensed files, but you can link those files into a closed source program any way you like.

I had a similar tracker set up using orgmode eMacs.

The most difficult part was that I needed a device to input my data, which was bad for a lot of my offline activities.

Ideally I would want a watch that can predict what I am doing and automatically guess. It would then fill in all the details and just ask me to review at the end of each day.

Training can be done both supervised and unsupervised, ie for supervised you explicitly tell watch “I am now working out”, and it would learn. Unsupervised is at the end of day, watch segments activity into discrete activities then asks you whether it segmented correctly, and assign label to segmented activity.

If it is Apple Watch, you can additionally leverage more information by figuring which apps I have open on my phone or computer.
