I doubt Starfield will ever be emulatable on current gen hardware.

HOWEVER MS does have an ace -- they can make the next xbox an ARM machine. This will guarantee that all game devs either migrate to ARM or face being on an emulator with reduced capabilities. That will create the needed tech. But it will also help Apple... so MS is likely to try to avoid it.

> But the more copies you make of something, the cheaper they become. The R&D cost is the same and is only paid once whether you're building 2 space probes or 2000.

The problem with that idea is, except for a few geeks, no one wants to spend that kind of money on space probes.

My research led me to believe there are a few factors that make the indie gamedev world particularly brutal. I'd love to get people's opinions on them.

1. The stores (Steam, Google, Apple) take a large cut of profits (~30%).

2. Taxes take another large chunk of the profits.

3. Tooling, like Unity (Unity Pro, etc) can take a chunk of the profits.

4. Price sensitivity of gamers is a problem. Most wish-list a game and wait for a sale (so your $9 game is actually worth like $4, before #1-#3 are factored in).

5. Gamers/collectors heavily buy into one market (Steam, Switch Store, etc). It doesn't seem like publishing yourself is much of an option. Itch is an option, but very little profit gets reported from what I have seen in my research.

The issue isn't that email addresses are private information, it's that they are personally identifiable.

[EDIT: to be clear, the following refers to the GP comment referring to in Europe, where as the parent comment is clearly US-centric]

Even if you replaced every distinct e-mail address with an ID or hash or whatever, they would still fall foul of GDPR because that ID or hash would become PII. You might say that's impossible, but for instance, if you knew that you happened to send specific e-mails to people in that dataset, you could correlate the times to discover your own hash, then filter by your hash and use the times to correlate with who you sent them to. Now you know the hashes of everyone you corresponded with, and can do PII-based analysis on that, e.g. how many people e-mailed them and when, whether they responded, who else they e-mailed after receiving those e-mails (so you might be able to start identifying colleagues etc), etc.

PII, even in what looks to be anonymous data, is very valuable to people who are determined to mine it, which is why typically data such as this should only be disclosed in aggregate, and usually after verifying that each aggregated set of data actually covers a large enough group of individuals that also can't be correlated another way.
If policing paid more then yes, it would attract higher quality applicants. But it's terrible pay for a terrible job, so it's the last resort for those who aren't sociopaths.

I feel like at least for me, when I want to build fast, writing the implementation and having AI generate the unit tests to double check and catch edge cases is easier. I also don't use the unit tests as a verification but just to ensure the util functions don't deviate.

Writing unit tests is also more boring so I prefer writing the implementation.
Got it, I will bring sexy back ;-)

Will definitely be following this, I fully agree about your comments on HN content.

Personally, I think a very basic ranking would be nice to have, especially as the platform grows. Just allows for users to get an idea of what others find the most interesting/helpful.

One other note, adding some sort of tagging would be useful if users are interested in certain topics but not others (ie a distributed systems eng might not find javascript posts particularly interesting).

Why are you unironically using data from FB themselves?

I wasn't presenting myself as a subject matter expert. I'm speaking as an individual who has lived through the evolution of social media and can see how and why Instagram and TikTok are as addictive as they are.

There absolutely needs to be more research done in this area. Hoping this lawsuit will shine more light on the connection between mental health, concentration issues, and social media.

Lol, I hope your future friends don't have a habit of running away...

It's probably not going to work by first finding out a potentially useful person. What I mean is: when you meet people who share a common interest, don't let the relationship die when one moves away, just try to keep in touch.

Anyway, I'm an antisocial introvert so maybe I'm not a good person to teach anyone how to network... (shrug)

Viewing the Communist regime in Romania as an example of distinctly Russian culture is questionable inasmuch as it initially claimed to be internationalist, its first years involved a cult of personality of a man from Georgia and then local acolytes of that man, and aside from Russian teaching in schools that (as is well known) had extremely limited impact, it operated entirely through the local language where special Communist terminology was overwhelmingly of French or other Western origin, not from the Russian language.
hi, feel free to create an issue here and we ourselves could pick it up if it resonates with others as well: https://github.com/revertinc/revert/issues
Yeah, isurgents, partisans and whatever you wanna call them are not regular combatants. You what that means? That the rule of land warefare don't apply to them. That makes fighting them a police action, one that has to follow basic human rights (detention, fair trials, the works). Unless you are fine being the baddy, in which case go full out Soviet Uniom in Afghanistan, USA in Vietnam or SS on the Eastern Front rear areas.

You know what that doesn't mean? That those people, and everyone in their vincinity, forfeit all, every and each right they ever had. Last time I checked, the IDF had pretty decent rules of engagement around that very question. On paper, and unfortunately rather loosly respected, but still.
You are reading the wrong spec. That is `Array#slice`, not `TypedArray#slice`.

Correct spec: https://tc39.es/ecma262/multipage/indexed-collections.html#s...

Steps 14.g.i to 14.g.ix detail the transfer of data from the original TypedArray (O) to the new TypedArray (A). It involves reading values from the original and writing them to the new array's buffer, effectively duplicating the data segment. The process ensures both arrays are distinct with separate memory spaces.
Once upon a time I stumbled upon a very odd video on YouTube talking about “the phase”. It looked all very mysterious and semi-conspiratorial, but at the same time other than attempting to promote their “workshops”, there didn’t seem any obvious catches…

Especially, they had a handy PDF detailing in very precise terms how to induce the lucid dreams. It worked for me on the first try, and was an entertaining experience. Somehow after that I didn’t keep too much interested in the subject to continue. But, for way it’s worth, this article made me remember the experience and smile.

I just re-searched and found the PDF here: https://www.remspace.net/files/the_phase.pdf

I should be more clear, I mostly mean alcohol in the time since the industrial revolution, after breakthroughs were made in the yeast technology. Prior to the developments, there was a limit to how potent we could brew alcohol before it poisoned the yeast. Although, IPAs are one example of alcohol potency increasing over the last few decades.

Perhaps the better comparison to cannabis is nicotine, which has also exploded in potency over the last 50 years. Anecdotally, this trend seems to be ingrained in human nature. We like are drugs and we like them as strong as we can make them.

It’s an outpatient procedure where they, to be super simplistic about it, cut the plantar fascia and have it regrow. When successful, the inflammation that has been recurring is essentially “removed” as a result. The new tissue doesn’t just start with it. They told me the recovery would be 2 to 3 months, but it was definitely longer.

It’s an old procedure at this point that different doctors have different opinions on. In my case, I had a second opinion from a doctor who thought he was going to tell me no, but then he looked at my history of treatment and went “yeah at this point, you have no other option. It’s this or live with what you’ve got and I would say go for it.” Considering he was going in prepared to tell me no that was actually very encouraging and I’m glad I did it. But it does not mean it is for everyone, I highly recommend if you are considering it to get two or three opinions on it, and to exhaust all your other options.

By that point I had pretty much integrated every single piece of equipment that could give me a relief and had done multiple rounds of steroids - both oral and injection. It would always get close to getting better, then would start re-inflaming. I’m 18mo out now and doing great.
Or blackmailing the right person.
IANAL but the city could sue, whether or not they would would win IDK, if I were fighting it I'd argue along the lines of "if I meant to misuse the data I wouldn't have told you I had it and scanning my hard drive opens up my personal data to the same potential mis-distribution that I notified the city of."

I agree with the author's reaction though, and any non-court ordered scanning of my system would have to happen under my supervision, with strict agreement on the how.

Now keep reading all the way to the third sentence in the quote, where they characterize the motivation as getting people to buy new phones, when Apple, and other manufacturers, claim to be doing it to keep older phones usable.

Now, if it was some random internet poster I might excuse this as fanboys being tedious or spending too much time on clickbait sites but this is an official publication from a direct competitor. They have to have expertise in this subject to be capable of building devices and anyone capable of designing a phone is going to know this is a real problem.
The ACeP signage displays usually have a 30s refresh rate. There are Gallery 3 ebook devices which promise ~1s color refresh, but so far only one has come out (and it wasn't very good).

That being said, if you don't need a lot of color, the Kaleido 3 eink devices are very good and very fast. I've had a color Boox device for the past year (with their GPU-driven refresh technology) and it's quite zippy on the refreshes. The color is filter-based, so not so vibrant, but it's great for highlighting (looks sort of like newsprint in terms of color and sharpness) and for me, is "enough" color w/o giving up anything.
> I suspect they can’t. It is quite possible security was not on anyone’s mind back then and the last thing they want are rouge signals from some amateur fucking up generations worth of work.

Don't just think it's amateurs, nation states aren't above mischief either. If Russia has one of those laying around, there's a reasonably high chance they'd use it to send a big "fuck you" to America in today's geopolitical climate (e.g. command each Voyager to burn all its remaining fuel to spin on an axis perpendicular to Earth.

Edit: and it looks like Russia does have a dish like that:

You completely missed my point.
There are also many studies demonstrating the negative health effects of living within a similar radius to a highway or any other major road, which encompasses most land in every major city. It's not like car emissions are perfectly clean because of unleaded gas and catalytic converters. They're cleaner than before the introduction of those things, but any emissions still carry health impacts so why are we demonizing the comparatively tiny GA fleet here? The only escape from any form of human pollution is to live far out in a rural area, but I'm willing to bet you've made a tradeoff of the convenience and economical benefits of being near a city/some town in exchange for exposure to some degree of pollution.

The warranty on Tesla (and others similar) goes to 8yrs/120k miles. So any swap you pay for is going to be on a 120k mile+ car. At that stage, putting a new battery in is kind of lopsided. Not many people will spend 5 figures on a car that used, they'll sell it instead. And whoever buys it will probably just drive it instead of replacing the battery. A car with a battery at 70-85% of new capacity is still useful. And that'll likely continue until the car is scrapped, when the scrap dealer pulls out the battery and sells it on.

If you do want to replace the battery, I would think you're more likely to put a used battery in than a new one. And scrap dealers are normally quite open to swaps.
Oh man, never thought about this but now I want it. Eh. I hope I forget it by tomorrow.
Did you forget about the Mac Mini?

I'd say Apple is roughly still sticking roughly to the quadrants in the Mac space, with the Mac Mini/Studio and MacBook Air/Pro.

The iMac is the odd one out in my view. It exists somewhere on or near that mini-studio axis but is distinct for being AiO, lagging in updates, and coming in colors, so seems to target a customer sensitive to price, complexity, and appearance, but not performance or the cutting edge.

I agree that the Mac Pro disqualifies itself and isn't positioned to be part of the calculus.

I share some of your sentiment on the dep mapping. We actually approach support in a variety of ways, but the dependency graph is the more novel aspect of what we do. I _personally_ think its not overly compelling, but part of that is because of how hard it becomes to distribute any substantial amount of funds when you're trying to do it across thousands of dependencies.

Outside of the dependency funding we will often directly fund developers (e.g. as contractors, which we did with rrweb back when the author was full time on the project), we subsidize a our services for open source projects (https://sentry.io/for/open-source/), and we also do direct contributions in a variety of ways to organizations (some of that was listed in the post, but even things like continuous support of many community run events).

People will often think a lot of these things as marketing (such as events), and they are, but its marketing that helps both sides. If we were truly lead gen oriented on these things though I can tell you it absolutely does not have the payback you'd get from some other traditional investments.

Edit: One thing I did want to mention- we're not actually looking for a return on investment for these github sponsorships. We don't consider it maintenance fees, but rather as a signal of gratitude. If someone stops maintaining a project thats fine, code doesn't have to live forever. We bundle this into our annual budget at this point more from a charitable giving angle than some kind of R&D cost center.

Bees don't just leave their queen and fly off. If there's a queen there's brood but if the queen dies the workers begin to disperse, and also start to lay (haploid) eggs that only hatch into drones which also disperse.

On the other hand, colonies will migrate if their environmental conditions are not ideal. It's a phenomenon called "swarming" and it happens all the time even with domestic livestock.

A lot use it for boosted visibility forcing their comments to the top even if they're bad. Also because it used to be a stamp of being somehow 'important' enough to garner the verification it was (and I suppose still is) considered a mark of status to some. The US right in particular seemed to have a particular fascination with verification/"blue checks" before Musk's purchase and the changes to the system.

There's also the siren call of the monetization splits for the new blue check system though beyond some early large payouts my impression of it is that it was very disappointing. I'm not even 100% sure without looking if it's still happening or if it's been rolled back.
