You helped a lot of people get into programming, including me. So thanks for your contribution!

I learned VB4 or 5 at college in 98. The teacher did nothing while we sat through MS videos where a bearded man both poured water from one jug to another and taught me how to code. Magical stuff.
I saw one on my street the other night and let out a shriek. My wife was most displeased, as based on my "excitement" she was expecting a small child or baby to be in immediate danger, crawling in the road or something. This incident certainly didn't help my already tumultuous personal life.

The cybertruck is probably the ugliest and most awkward looking vehicle I've ever seen in real life, including experimental auto expo PoCs.

At least it should be entertaining to see what happens next (with this and my marriage *cry*).

Pinball FX by Zen Studios is close. They have a large amount of fantasy tables and after getting the Williams license from Farsight they are slowly releasing more real tables. They also have some newer tables from Stern available. Farsight had far more real tables but they really let their software languish, hopefully Zen keeps improving.
I refused to try this service for years despite having friends suggest it to me over and over. At best they were going to sell your data to insurance companies and governments. At worst, criminals would end up with it. Why anyone would trust a private "viral" company like this with their DNA is beyond me. Best of all, you paid to give it to them.
Could you give some other concrete, practical examples of use cases for cryptocurrencies instead of the passive-aggressive snark?
I love writing expressive, joyful software. To learn or explore. It's what hooked me, and what keeps me programming.

Unfortunately, needs get in the way. Under threat of starvation I must be productive. I care about those I am productive with, and I feel guilty when not producing. It drains my motivation even in my personal time.

It's amazing to see so many people with the stability and freedom to express themselves. Those who have the means to go to the Recurse Center, or those with many personal projects or a myriad of blog posts describing their escapades. I'm envious, but happy for them. Most have worked hard to get to where they can carve out a life like that for themselves. I'd love to do that too.

The only way to do so, it seems, is to burn more life on productivity. With enough years burnt in sacrifice, perhaps luck will be tempted to grant me the right to live. It's funny.

I'll enjoy writing more useless software then.
And that is similar to require's behavior for properties on the returned object.

I had a pre order but I asked for a refund once I started seeing the pre-production pictures that have been floating around recently. The real thing doesn't seem to look as neat as the original pictures/demo to me? I'm not sure what changed exactly, but I went from mild hype to not picturing myself actually owning it. It looks a lot 'fatter' than I thought it would, lol

There is currently a small exhibit at the San Diego WNDR Museum where you can try this berry’s effect. I highly recommend the museum, applied tech and science is best experienced first-hand.
Ladder Paradox
I have the same issue. At some point, I ended up procrastinating for days in a row, being afraid to work, because when I do I hyper-focus and work A LOT for 1-2-3 days until I get burned out, then can't work for another week. So I ended up being afraid to start working because I know I get so much into it, I can not stop until the burned out.

What I do now, is to accept more the lazy days, and also when I work, I try to sometimes take it easier, even if it's hard to stop working when you're in the zone. I used to be very harsh with myself whenever I was lazy, but now I understand that's the price to pay for those days with insane high-productivity.
There's quite a lot of data that points to a decline in many places... literacy scores are lower, math scores are lower, etc.

The effects appear to be quite bad, and haven't yet recovered in many places (especially among lower income groups). This will take some more time to distill with more accuracy, but lockdowns and remote schooling almost certainly had a negative impact.

I don't really see the appeal. We don't even use the same dev environments at work, some use vscode, others use pycharm or codeblocks or whatever. We have code locally, on github, on gitlab and in other places.

Also I can't really say that I've heard anyone outside of this thread who is excited about this at all. I see people here have different ideas but personally I've never heard of it from anyone I work with or know directly.
Handheld ≠ backpack which is what professionals use.
We're unsubbed from everything except Apple (inertia of the Family Plan is high, but I want out because Apple Music is buggy, I've already seen Ted Lasso, and PBS is better for what I'm interested in) and PBS, though that's considered a donation. Wait a couple months and new movies and serials show up at the tax-funded public library. I'm so proud of our local library system. We donate money to help pay for electronic media and job training.

I don't miss Netflix, Prime, or Hulu (now that we finished watching Reservation Dogs and Creamerie- those are worth it, especially RD).

My hope is that this anecdote helps someone pull the plug if they're equivocating.
Do you mean non-tech/non-software companies?
You're not alone, though maybe not for my reasons. The Next Generation's writers and directors protested the utopia that Gene Roddenberry had built in his mind, but I really appreciated the camaraderie and collaboration present within the characters. Deep Space Nine seemed to me to be a betrayal of the universe that TNG had prepared. I thought DS9 seemed very interesting as its own series, but it wasn't what I wanted as a fan of Star Trek.
We don't sense acids in our food to make us look for sweet food. We sense acids because acidic food can damage our teeth, our mouths, our stomachs, etc (when eaten in excess).

From the article:

> "You can eat a berry and then bite into a lemon," says Harvey. "It becomes not only sweeter, but it will be the best lemon you've tasted in your life."

If you eat a miracle berry and then snack on a whole bunch of lemon slices, they may not taste sour, but you will regret it in all kinds of ways.

Also... miracle berry + lemon doesn't actually taste particularly good. There are "sweet lemons" and "sweet limes" (low acid varieties), and they're not popular because they're bland.
I wonder how profitable they would’ve been if they had needed to meet the demands of a $3B evaluation… grown a little slower/ differently.

And the radio signals are a pretty unhelpful indicator because you could have looked at earth with life on it at any point within the last three billion years and there have only been radio emissions for the last 30-millionth of that time. And they might become pretty rare or completely gone in another 30-millionth.

For mammals, the radio-emitting time is still only a 2-millionth of the total.
No.

Doing 40Gbps data is really hard because physics. Once you get beyond about 100cm, the signal loss basically requires you to add a repeater or retimer. This has been part of the USB-C specification since the very beginning, and any cable of this length doing 40Gbps will feature a similar PCB.
It is, and unfortunately it’s well-designed. Which means it will likely go from ugly to most people thinking it’s fine.

neat idea! curious how you're planning to apply credit to this use case u mentioned here?
It's a mix of many different things.

At work we have very beefy workstations that just aren't available in those hardware specs from cloud vendors. They use workstation grade hardware (A6000 GPU, threadrippers) that offer better performance/price than similarly sized cloud offerings which use datacenter type hardware. To actually tick all same boxes you'd need to go for much larger instance types.
Plus it would be questionable whether one could realize the scaling benefit of the cloud because those machines are more pets than cattle, killing them over night and bringing up a clean system the next day would likely upset dozens of different workflows and tweaked setups.
And then the software expects network filesystems with low latency random access, not blob storage...
They did the cost calculations, buying hardware is cheaper in the long run, including ops.

And then there are customers that have extremely stringent security demands. Segregated networks, video surveillance, no data must leave the premises. Convincing them to move the data into the cloud might not be impossible but it would be a big recertification ordeal for one cloud vendor. And then we'd be locked into that vendor until we could get something else. And we have several such customers.

nice work! i spent a lot of time learning to program using VB 1.0 for Windows (i could hardly wait and bought it as soon as it came out). it was so fast and lightweight compared with the alternatives. being able to call external DLL files was also quite useful.

Do you prefer more lines written by hand? Or more frameworks?

Because those are meant to offset each other.
Be still my heart. Star Control II and Ultima 7 were my childhood version of Balder's Gate 3 is to this generation. No single aspect of those games was impressive for its time per-say, but the sum of the parts was an incredible experience. Star Control II felt like I was playing the perfect Star Trek RPG.
It only works if you ban them in the first place!

Given the current policy around blue tick (which is full of crypto bot and onlyfan sex workers, without any reaction from Musk whatsoever) I doubt it will have any effect.

Also, World of Warcraft servers are full of bots, despite needing to pay to create and keep an account, so again it doesn't bode well.

People abandon all analysis when it comes to Tor. Yes, Tor serves a legitimate purpose (in contrast to Monero, noone has changed my mind yet), but I'd argue that value would also be fullfilled without onion services. If I have to gess 99 % of onion services are illegal activity. The only exception to this rule is SecureDrop which I am certain could be realized with just a regular server too. You need to self host it anyways.
Doesn’t help when you truly don’t have WAN connectivity. Imagine working on an airplane where the wifi is unusable or unavailable, or working during a long NYC subway ride (where even mobile data connectivity between stations is only occasionally and transiently available in the underground segments of the system).

Interesting, the combat is one of my favorite parts. I'm curious what you don't like about it, if you have reasons you can give.
I'm sure it's been said many times, but John Cleese did provide a memorable talk on it [1] and particularly touched on the relation to stress. And if anyone feels like they have troubles with stress/anxiety, Robert Sapolsky provides some great insight into how and why it affects health overall [2]. I'm not sure if Sapolsky's material will help reduce stress, but it was pretty entertaining along the way.

Two great speeches that it would be a shame to lose. Now, what was that about keeping up with digital clutter?

They're still losses even if you don't mark them to the market. I think the next round of bailouts there is going to be a lot more corporate bond buying and subsidized borrowing by banks against bonds at par value.

That's an excellent point. I am more on the passionate side, so the struggle is more being able to stop working once I start.

I tried a bit the discipline part, but that doesn't work for me. If I don't like it, I can not motivate myself to do it. If I like it, I can't stop.
Generally I find boredom or challenge is a prerequisite for my creativity to start percolating - but overdosing on boredom yields more creativity (to stave it off), while overdosing on challenges generally leads me to burnout.
I think the taste is really that good. I especially like them with fruit and drinks, and if the cost was say $0.10 I wouldn't think twice about using them daily for lunch or snacks.

Looks like tape to me. How is it a myth?
My favorite example is in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, where one of Captain Pike's hobbies is cooking. Real cooking with fresh ingredients, not replicated food.

Pike grew up on a ranch in Montana, where his family used Lodge cast iron pans. Cast iron isn't perfect for cooking - the heat distribution is mediocre - but one thing you can say about it is that it will outlive you.

Even if it gets rusty from neglect, you can sand it down, re-season it, and it will be as good as new!

I don't know if they make it explicit in the show, but I have a feeling that Captain Pike's pans were handed down from generation to generation, so naturally he brought his family's old cast iron pans with him on the Enterprise.

> it doesn't have automatic updates

That's not accurate. LibreWolf has an automatic updater for Windows.[1] On Linux, updates for most applications are handled by the operating system's package manager, and LibreWolf also maintains a Flatpak.[2] On macOS, LibreWolf has a Homebrew cask.[3] Flatpak and Homebrew can be configured for automatic updates.

I've been very satisifed with LibreWolf and haven't experienced any significant issues.

> Mullvad Browser would be a better choice

Mullvad Browser is a nice fork, but it doesn't include any syncing (like Firefox Sync), which makes it a non-starter as a primary browser for anyone who uses that feature.

Using ChatGPT to Write CloudFormation
That doesn't make their assertion wrong, though.
I absolutely agree. I went to clown school recently (thats a whole story) and I realised I've been focusing way too much on trying to get projects "right" or "do them well". This is really silly. Life is for living, and I squeeze the fun out of software when I try too hard to do it "right".

So instead, I'm trying to have a lot more fun with the code I write and I'm finding I've been writing way more code. Its flowing more easily. I've recently written my own protobuf-style library for binary serialization (to try out some fun ideas around schema evolution). And at the moment I'm writing a simple CRDT based local first database. I got the first data syncing yesterday! Its really exciting.

Its funny - over the years I've written a lot of code to solve Serious Problems and I've written a lot of code on a whim, to scratch my own itch. Ironically, the code I'm most proud of has often ended up being the stuff I did for fun. I find I keep coming back to maintain and improve the fun projects, but the serious projects languish and die once I move on.
<Have you deleted your data?>

Yeah, right. ANYTHING you put in the cloud or any other digital media no longer belongs to you. I suspect 23 sold this valuable data, that any insurance company would kill for, to the highest bidder. When will we learn we cannot trust any company with our info?!?
Thankfully we have HN that could kill your attention OR narrow your attention to fewer items.

Beyond the focus issue there is a subset: the mesmerizing issue. There is an overwhelming incredible stuff on Internet that is enough to spend your lifetime. It would be easier if the information available was only for trivial distraction.

Totally agree with the sentiment. Also, "useless" is a totally subjective label.

I think it's worth quoting PG on this one:

> Just as trying to think up startup ideas tends to produce bad ones, working on things that could be dismissed as "toys" often produces good ones. When something is described as a toy, that means it has everything an idea needs except being important. It's cool; users love it; it just doesn't matter. But if you're living in the future and you build something cool that users love, it may matter more than outsiders think.

Why not just add this stuff to the request itself?
It does not. Whoever implements the NFT integration into whatever game you want to play is in COMPLETE control over your item. If they want to not let you use it, they can do that. If they want to turn it into a floppy penis because they think it's funny, there is zero cryptographic assurance the object wont be modified in any way between the blockchain and the GPU APIs that actually put it on screen.

NFTs "in games" is just laughable. It's a perfect microcosm of how crypto boosters NEVER know anything about what they are talking about, like even the most basic, first sentence of wikipedia things.

There is no system agnostic way to program videogame object behavior. Your NFT can pretend to have whatever functionality it wants, but it's up to the game dev to honor that. If your NFT is a jpeg that you want as a weapon skin, the game dev has to take that blockchain data and pull or parse the jpeg out of it, and there is NOTHING the blockchain can do to enforce that. There's NO cryptography protecting that jpeg after that moment.

And that's just the physical, technical implementation, completely ignoring that it won't get to that step because no game studio will ever care to build anything like that for any reason other than just to sell crypto coins on a marketplace for quick cash.

Or do you somehow actually think EA and Ubisoft and everyone put pay to win mechanics in their games because players are desperate to give them more cash?
