Easily my favorite single player game of all time.

I would love to see a true sequel on Switch 2 with new characters and new lore - give Mario some new friends once every 25 years!

Would be an innovative way for new characters/IP/stories to build out over time/generations.
Tomorrow's fuel should be the battery.

A battery can only solve a local issue: a system for locally produced and consumed electricity, If the sourcing solar or wind is transformed to fuel, you also have storage, probably a gas or liquid. And you catch two birds with one stone: storage and distribution. That could be shipping, pipelines but also gas stations. Infrastructure we already have.
We can't really build useful railways any more, though.

Towns and cities are too large and too dense and too insanely expensive in terms of property prices to get new lines into or even close to.

(This might be less of a problem for freight compared to moving people, but many lines are mixed freight/passenger use, aren't they?)
I used to be a frontend coder, but am no longer. In part this is because I couldn't bring myself to keep up with the constant ecosystem churn of the JS world. I recently worked at a company that was trying to migrate from Vue 2 to Vue 3. It was not going quickly. Is Vue going to even be around in a few years, or will React eat it entirely? Or will react itself be eaten by Svelte? I have no idea, I'm not involved in these things. But after watching how such things play out for a couple of decades, my conclusion is that if you are building for the web, you should use whatever you are comfortable with and what provides the features you want now, because there's no way to know what things will look like a few years down the road. Even if the framework you chose sticks around, you may end up doing a rewrite because of other concerns or throw the whole thing away altogether.
Thanks,jdenning!

I think you're right, the differences and capabilities of the project should be better emphasized. I'll work on it!

Also, I will improve the layout for mobile devices.
The colors functionally denote the features available in the chat. In group chats, having a single non-iMessage user devolves the features available to the group chat to the SMS level. You also lose E2E and high res pictures and video.

The different colors of bubbles are a consequence of iMessage's origin as a protocol that supplanted SMS/MMS messaging while allowing the older protocols as seamless fallbacks; WhatsApp, Signal et al never had a requirement like that, and consequently never had to deal with different feature sets among their users (at least, not to the same extent).
If you shut down your Windows laptop or Linux laptop completely, or remove the battery, the battery will not drain.

I've accepted that manufacturers cannot or do not care or will not give me instant wake without atrocious power drain during sleep. Modern solid-state storage boots up really fast, and my browser, IDE, text editor and other tools are pretty good at restoring my working state after boot.
For pure productivity reasons it's not worth it unless you don't fiddle with your config. Messing with config can indeed be a massive time-sink, unless you enjoy it, in which case it simply becomes another hobby. It's definitely possible to use and spend very little time on config, though you'll be missing out on a huge part of the joy of (neo)vim - customizing your editor experience.

Almost.
SMRPG has an interesting place in my life. I got it when I was 12, and it sort of kickstarted my "online life". I started posting on the SMRPG GameFAQs message board, which was sort of my introduction to the internet. I made a lot of online friends there, some of whom I would stay up for hours and hours chatting with on AIM. One of those, I stayed friends with for about 15 years, until he disappeared one day.

Sometimes we would hang out on AIM and see who could answer questions from newbies the fastest. ("Which Final Fantasy is Culex from?" being a favorite.) Other times we would just talk about life. I remember talking with my best friend from those days (the one who disappeared) on the night the US invaded Iraq.

Nostalgia goggles and all, but I miss those days of the Internet.
That's not an edge case I feel, that's negligent if they hadn't considered that. We have a century of prior experience in car accidents, and tomes of regulations guiding car design that account for the myriad ways humans can be struck and hurt in a car accident.
You can avoid cars, do not jaywalk, be extra careful and look around when crossing the street to reduce this probability though.
That kind of compensation skew will case ripples in the company. It's possible that OpenAI is worth it, but it is a big gamble by Microsoft.

I think that is approximately L70 comp.
I also don't like how "provoke" is sometimes used as a get-out-of-jail-free card for people with who can't control their reactions or responses. We all have had to deal with random assholes, that's life. But we don't deal with it by acting out ourselves. If I get in a bar fight with someone, it's not acceptable, even if the other guy "provoked" me. We should hold ourselves to a higher standard than the assholes, and surely the police should have to hold themselves to an even higher standard.
Of course it does, you send a few of these perfect CVs and see what happens.
Ah, shows how uncultured I am for not knowing that. I'm used to 30 people all crammed into one grocery aisle pushing each other for a $6 box of sugary cereal at WalMart in America so it seemed like an "insignificant" number in terms of transportation.

This is a bit like how, when you're starting to date someone new, you should pay attention to how they treat servers and other workers at the places you're going to.

But in the case of interviewing a CEO, you don't often have a chance to see them interacting with random people.

Very cool! Does it try to fit everything in one view, or was I just lucky?

From their description of the mechanics of khep, it sounds like one flavor is drivers and passengers who connect the old-fashioned way (by hailing) using the app to negotiate a fair fare.

It sounds like both sides of the transaction there don’t feel like they’re getting 25%-of-the-ride’s-worth of “safety features” out of the deal, but that the (free-ish) fare quote part of the service is serving a useful role.

I wonder if there’s space for some local developer with modest ambitions to develop something priced at a low flat rate that focuses just on being a neutral, reasonable fare oracle — or if what makes it a trustworthy source is precisely the fact that the passenger could click “accept fare” and legitimately get a ride at that price.
This is why imho Microsoft is way cooler than Apple. They have tons of published research. In Apple, even speaking about your research with a friend may result in severe punishment.
At the very end of the blogpost the author asks why not compile C# to JavaScript, like F# (Fable) does? The author thinks that would be the best solution overall, and is surprised it has not happened yet.

In fact that has happened, see JSIL (http://jsil.org/, which compiles .NET bytecode to JS) and also SharpKit (https://github.com/SharpKit/SharpKit which is built on Roslyn).

But this will not necessarily be any better than compiling to wasm. It avoids the .NET interpreter, which decreases the download, but it will still need to bundle a lot of library support code. And getting the language semantics exactly right - including features like C# finalizers which do not have direct support in JS - is tricky, unlike with wasm. And it won't benefit from the speed of the wasm implementation in AOT mode (which Blazor supports), which can be much faster than JS.

Compiling to JS definitely still makes sense in some cases, but it isn't an idea that Microsoft or the .NET community has somehow overlooked. It has been done and it has its own tradeoffs.
I don’t know that I would particularly expect a head injury to primarily change genes, but rather just to damage the structure of the brain itself. I don’t have any reason to doubt the study itself, but the article here is not very useful. Which genes are changed? Is it necessarily bad that genes are changed? Articles such as this are one of the reasons why people badly misunderstand (and overestimate) the effects of epigenetics.
>>These are not your average groups of H1B workers.

Its strange this has to be even said.

I knew doctors who got their Green cards fairly easily. Replacing these doctors is next to impossible. For starters, its just these are rarest of the rare talents. Even making such doctors is very hard because it takes decades of academic training, and practice. These are things with close to 100% drop out rate, and other requirements- which means you just have to make exceptions to have these people in.

I miss SSR JSPs. I worked on a b2b2c marketplace, the caching and performance of SSR for routine pages was a godsend. We also used a "widget" architecture pattern with reusable components.

We then hired a front end architect who replaced all widgets with react components, changed our checkout to full CSR React, our latency raised for all users, we lost 5% conversion on checkouts that never recovered, then the next step was to build a React service to help render the React, and moved CSR React to SSR React service.

We now have 2 teams to support this. I get there are a list of other tradeoffs but I really miss JSPs.
It will be approved. Bureaucracies don't actually like negative PR, and interfering with this would bring the roof down on them.
It's right up there for me as well. I remember getting it for the SNES and not understanding it. I was quite young. I knew Mario, but I had no concept of an RPG. I didn't touch it for years then picked it back up and loved it.
I'm not sure I understand why AI is supposed to make anything better, at least under the regulatory regime we have right now.

1. AI doesn't do anything new. It's just human thinking done better in the best case scenario. So the plus side is that we may come up with ideas that a human might have come up with 10-15 years later. However, a lack of ideas is not the problem we face at all. We have solutions to nearly every problem we face. We have enough wealth to implement nearly every solution we have. The real issue we face is that the wealth is concentrated in certain hands that do not want it to make it to others' hands, and those who are capable of implementing the solutions we have prioritize maximizing the wealth they capture with those solutions. AI, as long as it remains in private wealth focused hands, will only serve to turbo charge these issues.

2. Under the current regulatory regime the responsibility of what AI does wrong is not clear. Much like how Uber, and the other gig economy companies leveraged the opportunities created by the spread of the smartphone to create a regulatory innovator, whose only real purpose was to dismantle regulations and impose costs on 3rd parties and capture profits for themselves, AI will and is initially again being used as little more than a legal innovation, using the gray area in terms of legal responsibility as an advantage to do things a company would never have a human employee do or to allow companies to use other people's works without paying for it, and not getting sued for the theft.

Expect AI to continue spreading into more legal gray areas as companies take advantage of the lack of clarity on legal responsibility to raid and pillage our economy and societies.

The average American spends $5,000 a year on the total cost car ownership, completely separate from public spending on roads and infrastructure, so I think that signaling cost is reasonable enough, especially since signaling will last far longer than the typical lifespan of a personal vehicle.

£5200 for your annual ridership but then divide that by the lifespan of the signaling. Let’s say it lasts 30 years, so that’s €173, (but of course, at the end of the 30 years £173 is worth a lot less).
Not sure why they'd want to. If they can direct-hire the core talent they really don't need OpenAI at all, and if OpenAI totally goes under they don't have to make good on the billions in Azure credits they promised. win-win

> But is there is something inherent to Lisp that makes it "clunky" to work with matrices?

s-exps are basically coding at the level of the AST, which for many programming tasks is a powerful level of both abstraction and control.

But this interface tends to work much better on tree-like structures (the most simple of which is the list, which in it's simplest case is a cons cell, Lisp's most fundamental particle).

Most programming tasks can boil down to tree manipulation, but large matrices feel a bit out of place with this interface because you are basically to working with arrays (which in it's simplest cases is a pointer to a memory address, which is C's fundamental particle). C like languages (I know, technical ALGO-like), tend to feel more natural for these tasks.

But of course if you can manipulate trees easily, you can manipulate code easily which gives you...

> Lisp can be at least as high level and expressive as any other language.

In practice, for Lisp this is also a weakness. Again, I love Lisps in general, and of course any Lisp and especially Common Lisp (with it's exceptionally excellent macro system) can do anything you want.

However, my (and many others) experience has been that this leads to is it becomes very easy to create code that is amazing for the original developer, but very difficult for new developers to get their head around. Hence the adage "Lisp is optimal for team sizes of one."

You could undoubtable build the worlds most elegant interface to working with matrices in Lisp, but now you essentially have a new language.

Even if we read it as the literal printing press at the time that was the way news and information was distributed in large quantities. The press as a term for new media in general seems to be a late 1800s invention but the coverage is pretty clear from the First Amendment still.
This doesn't make any sense. Not once have I ever heard "Massive advertising companies" say any of that. What are you talking about?
Last time I used Game Maker was just before they got acquired by YoYoGames, it actually inspired me to learn programming along with Roblox (early 2007).

It’s cool to see how it’s still going!
Ahh hmm OK, I'll have to check into this some time. I feel like the filesize would stay the same (suggesting no loss of data), but it's totally possible I'm misremembering considering how long it has been, hahah :)
Several inaccurate details just in the first couple of paragraphs: conflating remakes with preservation, citing a localization change as an "original" subtitle, and crediting Nintendo for third-party productions. I realize video game press is not known for its rigor but the more I read Polygon the less I can take it seriously.
Godot is definitely far more powerful but it has a higher learning curve.

Gamemaker is far easier for beginners who are making that Gamemaker type of game (typically top-down, pixel-art for graphics, etc).
I assume the same reason that even OpenAI needs Microsoft - Compute and GPU access.

If they started there own company, they would then need to do a deal with someone like Microsoft anyway, so why not just work at the source and then you get priority on that.

Plus as a secondary, Microsoft's access to OpenAI's models, I believe they have certain rights, so it would mean they are not starting at zero again.

Starting a new company, no matter what the talent they bring, with no compute resources and starting from zero puts them way behind in what is a flat out sprint / race at the big tech companies at this point, not advisable.
Ok, so your big plan for quadrupling the speed of the tube is for trains to breeze through most stations without stopping. It's like amputation as a weight-loss tactic.
This is pretty neat, and it reminds me of my experiment solving the water jug problem from Die Hard 3 using Hypothesis [1] (a Python library for property-based testing).

Though I doubt Hypothesis's stateful testing capabilities can replicate all the capabilities of Datalog (or its elegance for this kind of logic problem), I think you could port the author's expression of the game rules to Hypothesis pretty straightforwardly.

You don't understand because you think we have a society built around making life better for everyone. It's not. Our society currently is optimized for one thing: Making sure the rich stay rich, and the poor stay poor. In that respect, AI is amazing. AI requires a small upfront cost, then can do the job of thousands of people for the pay of less than one. It works 24 hours, and will never ask for more money. And it works exactly to the specification you set, and will never, ever do anything to help your customers.
> The actual risk of “AI” in the medium term is that these things are gonna mostly be used for optimizing ...

I like this. I will further add since In the long term we are all going to die it will be fine for everyone :-)

Nonprofit status relates to the absence of investor payouts, and doesn't fundamentally have much to do with pay levels. Some employees can be on occasion willing to accept lower pay when the motives are altruistic, but most employees at nonprofits are paid (have to be paid) market rate.

I have no idea what the process was for gathering the signatures, but one way to solve this problem is a mutual confidentiality pact that goes away with enough momentum. Ask people if they're willing to sign, but if you can't get 50% of the people to sign the document and all the signatures go away.

Similar things are done when doing anonymous 360 surveys in the workplace. If not enough people in a certain pool respond, the feedback doesn't get shared.
Yeah, but those are cheating, and it's not particularly easy to cheat in that specific way. In a high level match, whenever you shuffle your deck, your opponent can (and in fact is required to) also shuffle it, and they're the last to touch it.

Cheaters, like in any game, tend to look for methods that maximize the combination of impact and plausible deniability. Marked sleeves, sleight of hand (pun very much intended) etc.

> The top and bottom margins of a single box should never have been allowed to collapse together automatically as this is the root of all margin-collapsing evil.

> Some drawing systems take coordinates in x,y but the origin is top left

Right, as I said, top left coordinate system makes sense to me (like in the browser), so does bottom left (like in OpenGL) it's just the fact that CSS expects (y,x) not (x,y) for margins and padding short-hands, regardless of the coordinate system that confuses me.
