Nintendo specifically designed its box art style for the early NES to be mostly large pixelated images, because part of the 80s video game crash was that the box art for the Atari 2600 and contemporaries tended to be lovely illustrations that had only a tenuous connection to the game art, and that disconnect lead to disappointment. The NES box art wasn't really accurate either, but it was a lot closer, and gave you a better feel for what the game would look like.

Other things that were designed in as a response to the video game crash include the 10NES/CIC lockout chip and accompanying restrictions on 3rd party publishers, and the insert and push down cartridge loading mechanism which is mechanically terrible but was more associated with video cassettes (which had good associations) than video games cartridges (which had bad associations).
> I guess it bleeds more money out of people but the limited product lines was something I liked about the post-2000's Apple.

As the price goes up, the less I want to have to make decisions about which options I want.

The ease of making a decision about which device to get when it came time to do so was one of the main reasons I switched to Apple in the first place. This year I got a new iPad for the first time since 2016. It felt like comparison shopping Android phones in ~2013. I'm dreading the day when I have to upgrade my phone soon.
> I think adding and dropping C for desktop/server workloads would be relatively easy.

It's not super easy because standard RISC-V without the c extension balloons code size by about 30%. So Qualcomm is proposing a set of custom extensions on top of that to get the code size back down. It's not clear what the patent situation is on those extensions since they're so obviously AArch64 inspired.
Well I have worked on lots of problems over the decades (acceptance of open source in business, guess that one worked :-), internet servce (before there were ISPs), drugs in the water supply, remote loally-maintainable solar... and a business is not always the optimal approach.

Saying "I want to start a company, what should it do?" seems like putting the cart before the horse. I guess it matters if your primary goal is actually "I want to make a lot of money", but that's kind of lame for a primary goal IMHO.
Political influence does not equal cultural influence. There are innumerable instances throughout history of powers politically influencing smaller states but without making any significant impact on their culture. Why you keep trying to assert Russian cultural influence on Romania without evincing any actual familiarity with the country, or being able to produce any concrete examples, is baffling. Just admit that you don’t know this region very well and are operating from vague stereotypes.

Have you thought about classifying HN posts and then displaying them in some alternative frontend for your use case? Then you don't have the cold-start problem and can benefit from the discussions already happening here. Could even be a browser extension.

"AI Dungeon" I believe attempted this. I recall hearing it did indeed make a good parser, but the major issue was around context depth.

I wonder what it'd take to use an LLM as a parser, with ground truth available from a separate game instance, and the LLM's role limited to providing descriptions and handling player input. That might be a good way to get structure and consistency while not losing the improvisational, storytelling sort of vibe.
It's worth making clear that "convenience" in this case is really more like "not expending relatively large amounts of time, energy, and money".

Characterizing that as "convenience" seems demeaning to me, unless we also consider it a convenience that I don't need to fetch my water from a well or light a fire to take a warm bath.
That may be so, but then historians will write about reckless corporate behavior as the harbinger of that repeal. If you keep pushing the boundaries of what's technically allowed and it has bad ends, you'll eventually see the rules changed to stop you.

You and I probably both agree that that a substantial revision to the First Amendment would be terrible, and so what we probably want is for these corporations to act in voluntary consideration of what's socially responsible so that it's not necessary.
I think I agree with you there. But being unsympathetic and being wrong are two different states, and it's important to distinguish the two. The doctor did the "right" thing according to the understanding of the time, they were just a jerk about it. And that's being a bad doctor, but it's not delivering "incorrect" treatment.

It's basically a converse take to the "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole" meme.

Right, and I mentioned RISC-V as yet another sane RISC architecture that requires word alignment in instruction access. But the fact that it requires alignment means that the word size has implications for the instruction cache design and the complexity of the piping there.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether the C extension is a net good or bad for high performance designs, but I do strongly believe that it comes with costs as well as benefits.

But...the vaccinated can still get Covid just the same. So, it's not a "have one OR have the other" situation. When you take the vaccine, it's a "have one PLUS have the other" situation.
I wasn't but I also couldn't get over the irony of it. However, the misery aspect must be much more complex. For example, why people are not building more homes? Are we out of bricks? Also, as you pointed out the centralisation around a major city is another aspect of it.

Unfortunately we are having hard times. IMHO, a huge part of it is the contemporary landed gentry.
Growing up, I knew maybe two or three kids that had emotional problems. Now (as an adult with grown kids) I hardly know any families that don’t have such a person. I’m sure part of it is we’re more open, which is great, but I can’t attribute all of it to that. The rising generation is really struggling. My guess is social media, but maybe it’s environmental pollution or something similar. I live in the US for what it’s worth.
Presuming innocence doesn't make him actually, literally innocent. The reality of what happened is what it is, regardless of whether anybody can prove it to a legal standard.

Also, when you say "We tend to presume innocence", that's not really true. It's true (or is supposed to be true) for the government and people who want to be civically responsible, but a whole lot of the general population does not actually think this way. People think OJ did it, have various theories about who killed JFK, etc. People read the news about somebody accused of murder and think "yeah, that guy probably did it."
Not the person you're replying to, but I am someone who actively is trying to get more sleep due to problems with high blood pressure.

Good sleep comes with good habits.

No liquid consumption near bedtime.
Caffeine intake reduction and cutoff at least 6 hours before bedtime.
Having a wind down routine instead of waiting on my body to tell me to sleep. (Use phone in bed instead of a computer mainly)

I was averaging less than 6 hours of sleep a night. Nodding off at work was common, and I would compensate with caffeine.

I still don't feel energetic, but I'm less tired now, and looking to increase my nightly sleep to 7.5 hours. It just sucks sometimes to get home at 7 PM and try to sleep at 10 PM.

One of the things I've come to value as a "must have" for databases is the ability to stream CDC (Change Data Capture) out of the store.

With redis's persistance mechanisms (RDP + AOF), I see how one could set up their own CDC on top of those (tailing the AOF and reimplementing the redis instruction protocol to convert that to proper data changes), but does anyone know of a more structured way of piping out a change log?

I don't see anything obvious like a debezium connector.

> There isn't enough differentiation between their models anymore (largely because they have so many). It makes it difficult to choose what to buy, even when you understand what the various specs mean and what you need.

This was the correct take in like 2016-2019 when you had to explain the difference between the MacBook Air, the “Macbook Escape” (MacBook Air model with no touchbar) and the MacBook. I don’t think it holds up anymore. I’m currently helping a couple family members pick out new Macs and even though one of them bought an M2 MacBook Air a couple weeks ago, I still think they’ll be very happy with it even if Apple drops an M3 next week. I only recommend MacBook Pros for people who are programmers, audio/video editors, 3D animators and maybe graphic designers because of the screen.

On the desktop side it’s easy too: The iMac is for “MacBook Air people” who want a desktop, the Studio is for “MacBook Pro people” who want a desktop (or actually need the Ultra), and the Mac Pro is for nobody.

Edit: I will note that I agree with you on RAM and storage pricing, although to be fair they’re also not using cheap/slow RAM or SSDs.

Yes, good find.

One description that always resonated with me is the tradeoff between capacity for repair and uncontrolled repair or cancer.

Think of two extremes: 1) no capacity for repair: once something is damaged, the cells don't divide and you lost functionality. But there can be no run-away growth or cancer. 2) infinite capacity for repair: damage cells can always be repaired but a bad instruction can cause run away division and growth and become cancerous.

So evolution has to figure out where to turn that knob. Do you want to allow repair at a risk of cancer?

Generally things that didn't get "injured" evolved to reduce repair capacity. Rarely (ever?) do you hear of heart or eye cancer. Those cells just don't have much repair capacity. But think of skin. That's always getting damaged, so it makes sense for there to be more capacity of repair there at the cost of more cancer.

It's all tradeoffs. And it can change over (generational) time. Consider a warring population, if people are getting killed younger before they have the time to get cancer, then that population will end up with more capacity for repair because it makes more sense for survival to repair because cancer never gets involved.

And the converse can happen, when long life becomes the norm then the tradeoff change and cancer prevention is more beneficial than total repair capacity.

Just painting with broad strokes here, it's not exact, but a trend that does show up between populations.

Is there a tutorial on how to add a new API?

Given the tiny number of APIs supported today, encouraging the community to add more APIs seems like it should be the #1 priority.

I think you are looking at this from the consumer side, and I completely agree with you. Consumers are probably none the wiser on the original intended region of their phone and should not be penalized.

I'm talking from a corporation/carrier side that let this happen to consumers. If you sign to terms of a contract that gives you special access to phones to sell in your region and then you just go and break that contract that doesn't seem right to me. To be clear I don't think downstream consumers did something wrong.
I think its funny that a generation that grew up on Lego minifigs turns around and mocks Roblox so hard.
I think that's a fair assessment, considering that one could have connections with everything from LinkedIn to trading platforms such as Robinhood, this wouldn't be an "end-all" solution.

It is up to the individual in assessing what their immediate needs are and what is considered a "luxury" that can be dropped or accessed another way.

Generally I found that I can live out the need to look at my portfolio, and delicate other needs to my laptop, which is a better tool in handling those tasks anyhow.
Honestly, with some adjustments, the same incentives also hold true in every industry.

I would personally put the low quality of our code more down to immaturity and lack of tooling.
I can attest that it is certainly possible to use a Key-Value store as a database in certain conditions. I created one myself to support adding metadata (tags) to objects in the file system replacement system I was designing. Each tag had a key (the object ID it was attached to) and a value (string, number, dateTime, location, etc.).

Once I had it working and could attach hundreds of tags to each of the millions of data objects (Didgets); the whole system started to look like a sparse relational database table. So I used the tagging system to create tables and run queries against them. It turned out to be extremely flexible and fast.

To my surprise, it could often outperform traditional DB systems like SQLite or PostgreSQL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va5ZqfwQXWI

'No Way to Prevent This', Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
Cardiologists aren't exactly known for their bedside-manner. Also I did present these reputable journals this article alluded to:

> As the COVID-19 pandemic was getting underway in early 2020, doctors in Wuhan, China, began to report that many patients hospitalized with the disease had cardiac injuries. Heart attacks were frequent, especially in patients with underlying risk factors, and there were numerous cases of myocarditis, which occurs when the heart’s muscle layers become inflamed. Roughly a quarter of patients with severe COVID-19 had elevated blood levels of troponin, a protein marker for cardiac damage.

Still was dismissive of covid having any effect on cardiovascular. But you can only learn so much in 60 minutes over 3 months right?
I also love thinking through how to store data, e.g. in Redis, and aligning it with your access patterns. The biggest challenge I’ve faced is that access patterns tend to change over time and Redis isn’t flexible (e.g. you use an HSET to pull user data but now you want to query by a different key). So you probably will end up storing data in SQL for persistence and Redis for caching, anyway.

Different stages of the corporate life cycle require different skills and attract people with different temperaments; someone who launches a startup is not necessarily going to be great at running it for their whole life, nor feel fulfilled by doing so.

I prefer to work for startups whether they yield a "payday" or not - they usually don't - because huge organizations and complex bureaucracies leave me feeling miserable and demotivated.

Government IT is famously expensive, and so often a disaster. I recently needed to open an account with a local agency. The fun started with two date fields on the web form, which turned out (trial and error) to require different formats.

I finally received my credentials, but they didn't work. Assuming that the password was likely the problem, I tried the password reset function, only to get a 404 error.

The person I corresponded with was very polite, but it took three resets on their end, before I could finally log in.

A private company with these issues would go out if business. The government probably just hires another incompetent dweeb, who will have a job for life.

I think the fault here is squarely on Okta. They're asking for these plain-text HAR-encoded sessions for troubleshooting but crossing their fingers hoping the end user properly sanitizes it.

Why not sanitize the HAR data on upload so that by the time it hits your system and is available to your underpaid and understaffed support techs it's completely sanitized to only the relevant and non-secure portions?

HAR is structured data and is very easy to sanitize programatically. It's not rocket science.
