In this case, he even intentionally intentionally triggered the crash. As cool an achievement this is, I struggle to call it "beating" the game, since players could still theoretically go much further. Given that the glitch is predictable and well-documented, I'd consider it to be yet another (and new) obstacle to overcome, not the end. This is therefore the first time someone's ever hit the obstacle, and the first time someone's ever passed it (since he missed his first chance at glitching and had to take the second).

All that said, I feel a bit weird telling a community I don't belong to that they're incorrectly enjoying a game I don't play.

Location: EU

Remote: Yes, EU timezones preferred

Willing to relocate: Depends on the location (but with a strong bias for EU-Schengen/US locations)

Technologies: Java, Python (and variants thereof like Groovy, Clojure, Pypy), Node/TS | AWS/Lambda Serverless, GCE/Kubernetes | Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB

Resume: https://bit.ly/3B3o65M (It links to my CV repo at Github, pinky promise. You can also visit github.com/<hnusername>.)

I'm not actively looking (hence why my resume link is obfuscated like that) but I'm at least interested in getting a feel for the market right now. That said, I'm willing to consider a position with a great fit for my skill set and career goals.

Here's my pitch: I have experience in a multitude of industries and positions. From improving legacy infra and processes in an established telco company to scaling a fast-moving startup from 200K to 2M users. In my free time, I love writing Code That Is Poetry but day-to-day I am not an idealist engineer who doesn't compromise. Well-engineered code is clean and correct but correct above all else.

Oh, also, I'm great at writing documentation. I consider myself introverted but apparently my communication skills are above average for Software Engineers. I also pride myself on my humility and modesty.

I'd love to explore other technical positions in the games industry short of joining a AAA studio because (a) I don't want to crunch and (b) my skill set does not lay that way; other tech-creative industries would also appeal to me! Another particular interest is in B2C businesses where the 'C' is software developers. I'd love to chat and network about opportunities; if you think you have a product that could benefit from my skill set, drop me a line!

Unless you come with some new take on the P ?= NP problem, there isn't much we can improve on generic optimization.

There are all kinds of possibilities for specific problems, but if you want something generic, you have to traverse the possibility space and use its topology to get into an optimum. And if the topology is chaotic, you are out of luck, and if it's completely random, there's no hope.

Idk you lost me when you said using two schemes is not more complex than using one scheme. That doing two things at once is more complex than doing one is just not an axiom I'm willing to give up. And if you're willing to then i have to guess it's for ideological reasons than rational or logical ones. So at that point we're not analyzing the opinions of an expert organization we're just blasting cynicism at the "bad guy."
Another thought: have the 1D RGB strip spin around its long-axis to enable rapid LED cycling to stroboscopically plot the domain in 2D, despite the action & rendering array being "only 1D".

I was once asked to code a people-matching function where participants had long "don't match me with her" lists and coded a very naive brute force solver that absolutely pegged the CPU on my dev box until I wised up that it was an NP-Hard problem.
Would they have gotten there if they started off native? Most definitely it would have taken longer to get to market. If they were to rewrite as a native app, then they would need to at least keep the same features their current user base are used to. Then you're going to start all over with new bugs being found.
The first link (https://social-protocols.org/global-brain/) is the best we have so far. Other than that, there's the almost finished prototype implementation on github (https://github.com/social-protocols/social-network). Where would you like to dive deeper?

Could even use this as a revers GLOBAL ORBITING SYSTEM [GoS] - Whereby a single satellite|probe dispels a lander to a planet with the Quantum Magnetic Cannister, and that QMC signals its global location to the satellite launcher, and the satellit can extrap its location based on the absolute location of the ground guys... (might need more than one ground magnet-moles?)

I've never heard any mention about making any electrical device work on a planet (such as mars) in a complete magnetically dark location?

How is there gravity on mars if there is no magnetic field for a planet, and how can mass, the size of a planet not produce magnetism/gravity if its not made of iron-sh (the RED of the planet)

ELI5, please.
Such an absurd comment that was. If your customers are the ones paying for ads, and you cause your customers to leave, isn't that just deliberately tanking your business?

And "document in detail" it for who? As though there's some court or something that you can demonstrate why your business failed, and then.... what? Prove that it was departing customers? No one will give a shit. Just absurd.

Sometimes it's fun to think about the N-degrees of circles of yes-men around the ultra rich that lead them to believe the most absurd things.
I've been using a chocolate factory analogy around this. These companies are making damn fine chocolate, without a doubt. Maybe even some of the best chocolate in the world. But they got tired of selling just chocolate and so started marketing their chocolate as cures for cancer, doctors, farmers, and all sorts of things that aren't... well... chocolate. Some people are responding by saying that the chocolate tastes like shit and others are true believers trying to justify the fact that they like the chocolate by defending the outrageous claims. But at the end of the day, it's just chocolate and it is okay to like it even if the claims don't hold up. So can't we just enjoy our chocolate without all the craziness? This seems to be a harder ask than I've expected.
You'll find a few threads about design courses on HN, here's the last one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38591437

If your goal is to open an agency, certificates have close to 0 impact. Maybe for some government work, if they are fooled by flashy credential like Stanford (online). Previous work is always the most important, combined with a well-oiled sales pitch.

I'm currently of switching to a design studio, so my experience is more as a freelancer, but the early start for both should be similar:

Start with people you know. Friends, family, past coworkers, local businesses, meetups. Get any real experience, do a great job, and leverage it as much as possible. Ask for references and intros, present the work to new prospects on the sales call, etc.

Lead generation isn't a solved problem for me. So far my work came from a mix of referrals, people reaching out on socials and freelance platforms. For the last one, I had a much better outcome with the platforms where recruiters tried to place you in companies. But you'll usually need a few years of experience to be on them.

I don't understand what you mean. You're beholden to the law regardless of whether you understand it. The government ought to be required to create a reference implementation if for no purpose other than to prove that it is indeed possible to implement.
If it makes you feel better to unilaterally condemn decision makers at big companies for not hewing to your priorities, then be my guest, it's a fun past-time.

However if you're interested in why this happens you need to acknowledge there are legitimate tradeoffs between going full native and Electron at any scale. Specifically, feature/UI parity and speed of development is higher with Electron. Deciding to retool your whole engineering org to optimize for highly polished native apps is actually a pretty risky decision once you get into this position at scale, regardless of how much engineering cred it generates HN and other highly technical/UX focused circles.
I know embarrassingly little about electricity, but wouldn't this also likely require significant advances in semiconductors to even be feasible?
unfortunately the laptop models aren’t listed for any cpu in either the article or the original blog post so it’s hard to know exactly what’s being compared, not to mention the issue of single samples. However even if it’s a side grade, as long as battery life improvements are there it’s still a win.

I think the limitations of ansi.sys became the standard because it's the implementation that everyone had access to and could reference, not because it is the exact full set-in-stone canonical specification laid down by the ANSI standards committee overlords.

I think something similar applies today. Most people are using xterms or terminals that implement a large, fairly standard set of xterm and ansi escape codes (including things like Xterm 256 color, Mouse reporting, maybe RGB colors, Unicode). So that's what "modern" ANSI art can and maybe should target. At least raise the standard for terminal art beyond the 1980s IBM-PC to modern, widely implemented standards.

Then there is the problem of there being hundreds of ANSI editors and viewers that expect 16 color Code Page 437 art. Moebius (the ANSI editor) sidesteps this problem by using .utf8.ans to imply a Utf-8 ANSI, which also implies Xterm compatible escape codes (like 256 color). Right now Durdraw does not implement any file suggestions for saving, but in the future I might do that.
Out There Learning - The Greatest Ever On-Land Fault Movement - https://youtu.be/LUsIIJwxPYU (length: 4m 25s)

> Where is the world's greatest known on-land fault movement of any individual earthquake? It's at a place called Pigeon Bush near Wellington New Zealand. It is the surface trace of the Wairarapa Fault. In 1855 a magnitude 8.2 earthquake offset a small stream bed by about 18.5 metres which is the greatest single-event fault movement of any on-land fault in the globe!
I keep Crunchyroll and Hidive for anime, but I've canceled all other streaming services. They just don't have any content I'm interested in anymore.

I started learning some introductory maths on my own recently--via a relatively rigourous proof oriented text, a format of which I had no background with--and on one of the first few pages the author says something along the lines of 'if you're learning this for the first time, you should be spending at least an hour per page'. I was shocked at first, a bit incredulous, an hour? per page? ridiculous -- until I started reached the actual text.

I thought I was bright as a child, not studying, but as I got older I realized this was not the case (albeit still holding out some hope). At first, in this endeavor, I was discouraged spending so long, but then, oddly enough, I found myself proud of the fact I spent so much time trying to understand the content. Reading and re-reading until I understood what was going on -- and then the next day, I would forget some of it, so I would read it again (this time spending less time (woohoo!)), until I could now not only recite the content but understand it.

Yes, that's great! A site similar to this for anything related to sleep seems to be:

https://www.sleeplikethedead.com/

It covers pillows, mattresses, etc. Labor love, makes no direct money, committed to and open about how frequent manipulation is in the industry. I followed its recommendations ~1.5 years ago when furnishing a new house and was very happy with the results fitting out 3 bedrooms.

Big Q: why is this still a niche situation? Why do only a few sites have this trait? I think it has to do with culture, habits, and laws for each language & culture. Does it vary by language or region? Are some industries more manipulable than others?

Similar: amazon somehow gets away with defaulting their search result page to "Featured" which means "people pay us to lie to you". They still do provide the option to sort by "best selling" which at least theoretically is better. I'd expect a mature citizenry to rebel and force them to have a better default, or at least let you configure your default.

I'm very interested in characterizing variation on these axes across the world and time. Is it really zero sum and always identical? Or do some habits and traits of a region, language, culture, education system make "better" systems more likely to survive? Can we even actually fairly characterize better systems? It sure feels like we can, but I've also seen people arguing that for example there is no actual difference between rent-seeking and "productive economic activity" on a theoretical level.

> And landmarks aren't static things, either? I'm curious how landmarks are done to preserve this, long term?

At least in the US, the people in charge of this (the National Geodetic Survey) take movement into account. This[1] is the datasheet for the reference monument nearest my house. It has data for 3D velocity of the reference point.

VX = -0.0150 m/yr northward = 0.0040 m/yr
VY = -0.0008 m/yr eastward = -0.0148 m/yr
VZ = 0.0030 m/yr upward = -0.0002 m/yr

I'm not sure what the difference is between VX/VY/VZ and northward/eastward/upward, but those numbers are bigger than I thought they'd be. 15 mm/yr seems like a lot!

The official coordinates get updated from time to time, and in-between, perhaps you're supposed to adjust your measurements using that movement data (IANAS)? If there is a significant measured change in location due to an earthquake, I'm sure that data would be included in the monument datasheet or a new set of coordinates would be published.

FWIW, I went looking to see when the last earthquake was here in Maryland and it turns out there was one today[2].

I agree, for the purpose of scholarly dissection of the subject, it’s perfectly fine.

My point was that lining it up by calling it “BS” invites counter arguments, which is what happened here. If you’re not happy to implicitly accept the “BS”, you’ll have to address it.

Dropping the “BS” label would have led to a more focused discussion. It matters _how_ you ask a question.
And if you'll pull back to sixth grade English you'll remember that connotations are just as valid as denotations. The phrasing is almost certainly pushing certain connotation and recognizing that is just as important as pulling up a dictionary.
Languages with Java-like syntax are taught in schools, and Lisp typically isn't.

I've written some Lisp and I don't find the syntax hard to read, so much as my unfamiliarity with the language itself (what does cons do? What kind of args does it take?).

Plus the occasional cluster migraine when I decide to write a macro, knowing that I'm lucky when regular code runs right the first time. Not really a fault of Lisp, I'm sure me trying to write C++ templates would end about the same.

I don't see how this is surprising. The noise pattern in the first figure looks cat-like: I can see the ears, the head, the paws, the front half of the body… Having that “seemingly random pattern” to trace over would probably let me sketch a cat, something I can't normally do without a reference. (Though, the face is muddled and in the wrong place – almost like it's a cat collage – so I might only get the outline of a cat.)

This study's result is implied by the stronger result: “a neural network's notion of a category sometimes resembles members of the category”. I'm sure a competent sketch artist could yield similar or better results, being able to take advantage of peculiarities of the human visual system. (In fact, that might be a good follow-up study: I might claim it if nobody else does.)
We agree. Presumably by now you got the email we sent out to everyone about reversing the charges. This was a bug.

> With early onset dementia where working memory and self-suppression are removed, you can unspool the same commentary as often as you like by teeing up the same context to trigger it.

My working memory is pretty much shot, between inherited ADHD and a brain injury.

Whatever is in my field of vision makes up the majority of my reality - associations with things I see, and the trains of thought that expand from those associations. The rest of my reality comes from whatever memories my brain conjures up when it has nothing to focus on.

I use what I call "external prompts" to function on a daily basis, or 'teeing up the same context' to trigger a memory to trigger an action.

Something that concealed my brain injury as a child was how well I did for most parts of school. I did well because tests are a series of external prompts, and my long term memory is fairly accurate.

My math memory is terrible, though, as I can only hold 1-2 numbers in my mind at a time. For instance, to remember the time, I always round to the nearest 5 or 0. 2:43 becomes 2:45. It takes less number memory when the last option is only a 5 or 0. I also use picture memory to temporarily store the exact time (as a snapshot from when I looked at the clock), although the numbers start mixing with previous snapshots.
