Not in Cities Skylines 2.
City Skylines 1 has been played and supported non-stop for over 8 years. Why should they limit the highest possible graphics settings only to existing technology?

Again, this is a simulation game. If I ask the game to spit out more detail and graphics than can be physically supported by today's technology, I guess I don't necessarily see this as a design fault.

It wasn't guys who made fifty shades of grey the only modern franchise to compete in sales numbers with Harry Potter, so I don't buy the idea that men were those who sexualized things like rape and violence.
Tangent, but I hate projects that automatically lock issues.
Experienced this too. Having SSH access enabled on the Synology saved the day. There's no 2FA prompt on SSH, so you can SSH in and manually fix the time.

CPU is not a bottleneck in Cities Skylines 2, nor most game to be frank.
If it has embarrassingly parallel tasks that it can dispatch to a massively parallel subsystem dedicated to solving embarrassingly parallel tasks, is that abuse or smart use of resources?

That being said most simulation games are usually memory-latency and memory-bandwidth limited, not compute limited.
This must depend a lot on the humidity and temperature where the piano has been stored and used.

The music industry is very good about this. Which is actually easy because there is no current source of sustainable harvest ivory. (and when there was a source it was in such limited quantities that no major manufacture would bother)
well to me part of the reason to identify "the meta" is not to go along with it, but so you can develop tactics to counter it -- but maybe not everyone thinks that way

Really though, it's not true that "everyone is using nextjs", so it's not "the meta" anyhow. I think most developers can safely ignore it
> I don't think the left-pad problem wasn't about package namespacing it was about the ability to unpublish packages as well the prevalence of micropackages caused by lack of a decent standard library.

It was "about" cavalier approach to the dependency supply chain. A dependency disappearing outright is just one of many failure modes it has.
I'm curious -- are there laminates that wear naturally? Looking at the photos in your second link, I think the laminates would look more natural and less overtly plastic if they did show a little wear similar to the oak.
It's a nitpick but I thought its strange in the web console, main left navigation bar, it saying "Access & IAM".

That makes me think of Reddit where many submissions that ask the audience a question need to have the comment sort order changed to "controversial" to read something interesting.

People with the knowhow to do this kind of stuff are mostly busy trading eyeballs or stock, and college history departments are not exactly rolling in it.

Still, there is an effort made to make these collections more easily avaialble. For instance, in the case of soviet archives, [1] describes the work done and the conditions to access. That work is far from exhaustive though, and a large part of the stuff still needs to be done the slow way, or require special requests in order to be accessed.

I really don't like this assignment idea as anything more than getting used to the assignment submission and grading system.

1. What is it teaching? Comparator<Integer> is trivial to implement, and you're adding no requirements on it (except maybe having a human readable shortname). Code reviewing a Comparator which merely has to compile and match the two simple rules of Comparators is not a useful code review. CI tests to check those rules for common errors is quite easy (undermining the value of code review) but there's not much extra complexity to shove into the Github actions to show their power. Maybe students will be amazed by a live scoreboard, but I don't expect that anymore. We had live scoreboards for (secretly submitted) assignments back in the 00s, and the world has become significantly faster-updating since then.

2. Incentivizing unique comparators adds in a lot of meta-work. Students will need to monitor the repository and the submissions of other students if the incentive is too high. Some students may wait until the last second to submit their solutions to avoid being detected, and yet other students may try to play spoiler and copy other submissions.

3. I don't like the structure where students submit two things (a number and a comparator) where the outcomes of the lottery are almost entirely based on the number. The comparator, which seems to be the intent of the lesson, isn't tied to the success of a particular student. And since you're only re-rolling comparators in the case of a 0 output for an input pair, there's a pretty significant chance that some student submissions won't even appear in the lottery computation tree.

>> The crucial quality that a troll is best executed with as much subtlety as possible so as not to be detected by the intended target

> Yeah.. noo. Who told you this? This is wrong on so many levels it is hard to know where to begin.

It's literally the classic definition of an internet troll. The whole point was to subtly push other people's buttons to get them to do something interesting.

See this semi-famous example: https://gwern.net/doc/cs/2001-12-02-treginaldgibbons-isyours.... It can and did trigger a lot of geeks' impulse to pedantically correct others, be opinionated (e.g. AOL hate), and defend their hobbies against what they perceived as cultural hostility.
Unfortunately, I don't have such option.
Yes. There is no way the extra costs of real hardwood are worth the supposed benefits, to me. LVP or LVT or whatever vinyl name is just so much cheaper and easier to work with, and as long as the floor is clean and presentable, the only difference I see is wood flooring being more expensive.
I'm still an old blowhard and think Tropico 1 is still the best. It was so tough that you had to become a fascist every time. Which made it a harder game but also a much sharper commentary.
I've been out of the web-dev game for a while, and have been pretty blown away by how much has changed. Suddenly, it seems like everything is a 1-page application, SSR, and doing a lot more on the client than I was used to back when jQuery was the standard. Next.js seems like a pretty beginner-friendly way to get a lot of the "new stuff" without having to learn the multiple technologies in a MERN stack.

On the other hand, it seems like a lot of folks (particularly in this thread), think of Next.js as a well-intentioned, but unstable shiny toy that more or less breaks when you try to do more complicated stuff. Is that accurate? If so, what is the standard stack that most companies are using these days to build high quality web apps?

Sometimes life is better when you just accept that something is different but not necessarily worse.

Natural gas fireplaces aren't real wood-burning, and I can tell, but I just appreciate that they are way cleaner.

Now, furniture is a different story. Wood is much better than the engineered crap. Try lifting a modern piece that looks like wood and maybe has a thin layer of wood (very heavy and easy to damage) and then try lifting something made of real wood (light and strong).
> But who cares about that?

Everyone who actually has to make a mars colony work.

Because, yes "yearning for the vast and endless sea" is certainly more poetic than figuring out how to make beams from tree trunks.

But without lots of people who think alot about trees and carpentry figuring out how to reliably produce good quality beams and techniques that allow for them to be fitted together into a hull that won't break apart when hit by the first few waves, no amount of yearning will result in a working Carrack.

> human being landing on Mars would probably be the single most watched event in human history.

Probably. And now imagine the reaction of all those people watching, when the landing vehicle crashed and exploded, or the Astronauts died horribly from thirst or starvation.

That's why there are people who care about building a sustainable colony in the arctic dry valleys.
I used to have a very similar "system", until I locked myself out of an external hdd which I had veracrypt-ed with a super extra secure combination.

After a few months without using that hdd I forgot the password, but because I knew the basic bits that formed the password I generated all the possible permutations and brute-forced my way back. :D

The third time that happened I just decided to save the password on bitwarden...

Same, but I didn't get to see them live until Daydream Nation. Those shows were a lot of fun, but yeah, I was only catching the end of that, but earlier shows were... noisy. It took them a while to get art-rock inaccessibility-as-cred out of their system. Or maybe Moore is just really self-indulgent. Or both.

You never know what will happen, but after reading _Girl in a Band_, I don't think Deal is interested.
No, you would need to spend “eye watering amounts of compute” to do it, similar to hiring a lot of developers to produce the code. The compiling of the code to an executable format is a tiny part of that cost.
This effectively defines social mobility as wages being compressed around the median. Small changes in income will create large changes in percentile since it is a relative measure in these cases. For countries where wages are not compressed around the median, like the US, large absolute increases in income produce small increases in percentile.

To put it another way, it is much easier to increase your income in the US but harder to increase your income ranking. I think most people would prefer to have more money than a higher ranking given a choice between the two.
Looks like this is the straw that'll finally get me to upgrade my 12 year old CPU and 7 year old GPU. Has anybody figured out what a usable GPU is with today's patch? My initial research indicated that there's a sharp performance hit for 8GB of VRAM or less, so I was thinking the 12GB 6700XT might be the cheapest card with usable performance. Is that still the case with Friday's patch?

The aesthetic minimalism defeats itself as it adds untold complexity turning what should be a simple switch into a cartoonish Rube Goldberg machine. It makes me sad that we are filling cars and just about everything else with e-waste so manufactures can keep a leash on our wallets.

No but robots on the other hand have the disadvantage of being dumb with no understanding of the situation.
Also, they can "die" of thirst for energy as well. Have some unplanned thing gone wrong? Boom, all mission is lost. Happened countless times.
Human are flexible. Why do you think, they sometimes need to go outside to fix something on the ISS? Not automated yet.

With more advanced robots that might be possible, but currently robots can only do, what you exactly told them to do. Depending on the real parameters, that might be enough, or not. And they certainly can get "sick" and broken as well. Hardware as well as software.

There's no point getting this in the details of my personal experience but I _started_ the path at 19 because I ran out of money. I was still doing incredibly dumb and destructive things until 23.

I really do think this program will help a lot of foster kids. I just wish we could acknowledge that stipulating how the money is used will prevent worse outcomes for some. Free money will give some of these kids the resources to destroy their lives because the money isn't their main problem yet. Both groups of people matter and I want to see programs that don't ignore the negative side effects of free money.

Means testing absolutism doesn't need to be the hill people die on. First we need take care of the people, and then we can figure out the most efficient way to administer it.

But they all suck on mobile!

Using the internet on a phone is a terrible experience. Websites take forever to load, they randomly resize things, they add pointless headers and footers to the limited space, they move the focus around at random etc.

You know how websites sometimes have that button that scrolls you back to the top near the bottom right? Those buttons tell me that the people making the website never use phones themselves. The amount of times I've found that button helpful vs the amount of times that I've hit it by accident while scrolling is so small that the entire thing feels like a cruel joke. Mobile websites are full of these kinds of UI patterns.

HN is actually one of the few nice to use websites on a phone because it doesn't try to do all of these things. On reddit you're better off using the old desktop view than any of the mobile views. Same for websites like YouTube.

Google doesn't even have parity in functionality between the mobile and desktop websites. On desktop you can filter results between arbitrary time stamps. On mobile you can only pick between "past hour, past 24 hours, past week, past month or past 12 months".

There are a million small things like that that are wrong with mobile websites. They ruin the experience.
Ipê wood is known for its extreme hardness and durability. In fact, it's so dense that it can sink in water. So nothing for motorboating.
Another side of this is you really want to put economic value on sustainably harvesting these trees and preserving the forest, because if you say "no harvesting at all" then it's more profitable for someone to burn the forest down and replace it with cattle.

Years ago tracking lumber from harvesting through the supply chain was one of the few convincing cases I heard for blockchain applications, where you have a sequence of people who don't trust each other and buyers want verification that the group cutting the trees was really only cutting and selling the amount they were allowed to. Haven't heard any more on that recently.

None of us on here are well-versed in city government, the myriad laws that would apply at the state and federal levels, etc.

Google has 280b (2022) in revenue mostly (entirely?) from ads.

Apple's is 394b (2022), so you're talking about 1%... growing to, what? 1.1%?

Everyone complains about overpriced Apple products and that's specifically because that is where they make their money. And services a bit now, but mostly products.

It's so easy to be nihilist about this, there's plenty of things Apple sucks at. They're certainly not perfect on privacy either.

But for the love of god don't act like they're "just as bad at privacy" as you are intentionally moving us to a world where literally no large company cares about privacy.

*I forgot to mention my (least) favorite category of Google's ads! Banner ads.
So they are desensitized to the TV, I see what you mean now.

That structure seems really large. But it’s really sharp and I’d say within an order of magnitude of reading license plates. Doesn’t seem like a stretch to think they can go to higher resolutions.
I'm not UX person and I don't know whether "pixel perfect" and absolute positioning requirement come from clients or designers on average. I'd guess it varies by organization, industry and whatever.

But it's worth being clear that mixing such thing with flowing text and graphic is where things get hard. Html 1 had flowing text in the 90s and you can still do that.

Moreover, all this is related to overall user hostile designs. Organizations broadly don't want their pages to be neutral streams of information but want to control a user experience that nudges people this way and that and fixed are important to that.
Possibly, the USA is a good place to be rich and not so good of a place to be poor.
I think such tests are pretty useless regardless of language. If you work on say a banking system testing whether getBankingStatement() returns something of type string is a waste of time. It just slows you down when you refactor its return value to a BankingStmt instance. While testing what happens in low memory conditions when a user simultaneously deposits and withdraws while another user issues a charge back against them is extremely useful.
I used to play a game called Mobility back in ye day, early 00s, it was city building with a scientific background - IIRC it came out of a funding grant of the German government.

The key info here to me is that Vercel hijacked React project to some extent, hired many of Meta's react developers, and forcefully turning React to whatever Vercel favors that has nothing to do with KISS, what a pity.

Hope Meta spins off React and hope Vercel stop ruining React, the way it bought up Svelte and made it whatever Vercel likes.

a great example is the Rosetta Stone, a 2000 year old tablet that contained 3 translations of a proclamation by the King (Ptolemy V). It was discovered in Egypt by Napoleon's army and for the first time in the modern day allowed ancient Egyptian writing to be deciphered and read.

my favorite part of the story is, when the Rosetta Stone was discovered, it had been considered rubble and was being used as one of the bricks in some more recent construction.

Correct, the Pages Router is very much still supported with new improvements being made. The performance improvements in this post apply there. The same APIs and features included in Next.js 1.0 still work today with the Pages Router.
every large org I've been at pretty much requires escalation contacts and vendor support. is one of the reasons we pay for RHEL and Docker licenses, etc.
If their SW and FW source code is MPL 2.0, that's good enough to limit the extent of vendor lock-in. Sure, it would take time to take over maintenance of that code and then add support for different HW and so on, but there can be a cottage industry of consultancies that can help if ever Oxide vendor lock-in or bankruptcy becomes a problem.

This is armchair game developer sleuthing and I don't buy it for a dollar. Mainly because performance issues with this game occur even on an empty map. There is absolutely no way the game is rendering 10,000+ characters at that level of detail.

You'll be wise to ignore Redditors when they claim to be making some kind of breakthrough that eluded professional game developers over years of development.
I'm from the school of thought that when teaching beginners, it is completely okay to make things as smooth and easy as possible. After all, the goal is not to teach students how to become efficient with development tools, but to teach computer science.

Back when I took data structures & algorithms in college, the course was thought in C. Every assignment / project would be something like this:

1) SSH into some school server, navigate to the correct folders via the shell/CL.

2) Copy the assignment / project to your own student folder. To solve the problem the student would have to get familiar with the (rather small) codebase.

3) Upload your own source files etc. when you've solved the problems, create a makefile, etc.

4) The TAs would the run some script which tested all the different programs.

Pretty straight forward process. But, still, the students that aced these were obviously those that were experienced with using a shell, navigating code, somewhat experienced with the dev ops side of things.

The kids that were very fresh to coding, and had only ever taken the "101 introduction to programming" course were like fish out of water. To such a degree that many could simply not focus on the actual problems. Especially the larger projects would essentially be as much "Advanced C" + "dev ops" as DS&A, which IMO kind of went against the purpose of the course.

With that regard, I think it would have been better to just make the students solve the problem in some IDE, or even web application sandbox, and focus 100% on the DS&A part.
