Yes, I agree. It was a joy to use contactless payment in Amsterdam, and like in London with the TfL app, I could check my payments via the OVpay app, take bikes on trains, and they have very frequent regional trains too. Actually, the OV app is better than the TfL app - I needed a VPN to pretend to be in London in order to check my payments on the TfL app, I didn’t need this for the OV app. Both apps had weird rules about when it would be possible to “fix” or add a tap-off if I’d forgotten to, though, but at least they both have that option unlike Paris, France or Ontario’s system.

And the worst for payment has to be Berlin’s system because they absolutely hate credit cards and prefer cash over other traceable payment methods. It’s nice for anonymity but as a tourist who has to present a passport anyway, I would prefer to just tap and not think about it. Plus they don’t have one app, they have three different apps each with unique features. Paris has the same problem, with regional and local apps, plus even third-party apps that you can buy tickets from.

Transit… some places you have to be a local to understand it and put up with it. Everyone else, at least there’s Uber most places now. Don’t even get me started on paying to use bathrooms by credit card (actually cash only) at a major train station in Brussels.

There's no airport-specific surcharge, it's just zone 6.

Which for the Piccadilly line happens to only contain Heathrow, and Elizabeth line only Heathrow & non-London. But it's not hidden/secret, there's a zone 7, and other lines have more in 6.
So you took that bet? How much did you lose?

I've been working on a game since quitting my job. Having some of the most fun in my life doing this. I used to find making games very overwhelming. But some time ago I realized that you can make game mechanics out of anything! There are no rules. Well - the rule is that it has to be fun!

And I played Baldurs Gate 3 a few months ago which really inspired me. I have been playing RPG games for a long time now but I never tried a real "TTRPG", most of my experience was playing JRPG's when I was younger. And I knew about DnD but never felt compelled to try it irl because it seemed "kind of lame".
But then I played BG3 and I really understood what "RPG" means. The game made it all click for me.

I love this book. I read it 20 years ago as a college freshman and it had a huge impact on my vision of the world and how intelligence is not some innate, isolated property but a matter of an individual coupled and coordinating with an environment.

The writing is, to boot, beautiful. I think of the book at least once or twice a year, fondly.
Some would dispute the "built for humans to understand". Whitney's work is brilliant, but it's far less accessible than Wirth's.
Yikes, quoting Reagan seriously?
Hot take:

IMO I’m willing to accept the loss (and it is huge) of access to media if people follow this, but I truly and deeply believe that anyone who wants to tightly control some intellectual or cultural “property” should put it in a plain cardboard box and file it in the darkest corner of the most inhospitable warehouse never to be seen from (or profited off of) again.

At least then we could mourn properly before moving on and creating works freely without the chilling effects caused by the looming threat of being sued for accidentally making something similar.

I wonder if there's a business/service that estimates "remaining funding" based on raised funds vs. number of employees and their respective role's average salary? You could almost see it coming when a company is still in the early stages, probably not generating revenue, and burning up cash. The fact I even think about this means someone in the area of business finance thought of it a looong time ago... haha

A quote that seems to sum up the blogpost.
Not everyone flirts for the exclusive purpose of 'finding a partner', to take the analogy further. Some people do it to find someone to sleep with.

Not everyone works to 'transact your time and expertise for money' - some people want to 'fulfill a mission' with meaningful work, and build a purpose driven career.

The analogy works better than you think - at the end of the day, all I'm talking about is making a good first impression. What you may be looking for is up to you, but if you are looking to enter a mutually beneficial relationship whether it's personal, romantic, or financial - acting like a sourpuss isn't going to help you.

I think windmill.dev is conceptually closest to Airplane, and since it’s OSS you don’t run the same risk if disappearance.
Multiple means of egress from bedrooms, fire-rated walls between units, accessibility requirements, auto-closing doors, fire suppression systems, CO and smoke detectors, are all things that we could remove the requirements for and also leave to the businesses and builders to decide whether or not the market demands those things.
I don't get it. According to the blogpost, 450,000 organizations use Airplane, and over 50% of Fortune 500s are paying customers? Okay, that suggests a viable business. And then they're shutting down?

Normally you'd expect to see some layoffs and a paring down to profitability: it is SAAS, after all, so you'd expect high gross margins that could be operated by a skeleton crew if necessary.

I'm wondering what happened here -- was Airplane gross-margins negative? Was there some fundamental issue that was unsurmountable? In my mind, it's just kind of strange for a popular and widely used, evidently saleable product to wind up burning through all their runway and then ending in what looks like an acquihire. Odd.
If you want to attract other humans with a harpsichord, ditch the Church durges and reach instead for an operatic form. They're just more dynamic.

Benefits:

* recitative form allows you to freely speak-sing to get through a lot of content for your listeners. It's like carbo-loading but for syllable count. And the harpsichord has been the instrument of choice for recitatives for at least a few hundred years.

* aria form generally allows you to linger in the melodies much longer than with hymns. And since the recitative delivers most of the substantial text, the aria doesn't have to cycle back through myriad boring verses like hymns. They tend to be more expressive on the whole, and the most popular ones are singable even by a group of troglodytes

* because operas can include Church or Church-like scenes, you get the Church fare as a subset if you still want it.

* it's not too difficult to figure out the basic recitative chord patterns to improvise a recitative-- and perhaps even an aria-- based on your audience or situation.

For any out there having trouble in the dating department, that last part is key (heh). Honestly, I'm surprised recitativo-aria isn't a genre on pornhub.

Edit: clarification
>Don't integrate early-stage SaaS as critical to your business is the main lesson here.

Let's be honest, nobody had 'Airplane' as some critical part of their business.
It was touched on at the beginnning of the article but something I find overlooked about having tests are:

- Ability of other developers to be productive on the project. Having tests tells other developers the intended behaviour and notifies them when they have broken it.

- Flow on effect of slow or large test suites. It demotivates developers to write new tests, run existing tests and accept failures if there are too many. This then leads to a lack of confidence, trust deteriorates between team members and development pushes towards going faster than being stable. Eventually, once enough bugs occur or a large incident, then you go back to looking at tests again.

If you have fast and reliable test suites, a developer wants to run and add to them. Developers feel that this is a high quality project that needs to be well maintained. This culture them permeates into other areas of your business.

Furthermore, most people panicking about dnd and raves have exactly zero experience with either.

When I was involved in hiring I was told we couldn’t do any online research on potential candidates, like LinkedIn or Facebook, as it might give us information on them being part of a protected class.

Sage is a programming language with a low level virtual machine based on a Turing tape. The sage virtual machine has a read/write head and a single register. The read/write head moves around the tape, and uses the register as an accumulator. All worldly input is done through a single instruction, and all worldly output is done through a single instruction. Functionality which cannot be achieved with any algorithm, such as using an operating system’s system calls to write to persistent memory, is also done through two instructions: one for sending values to the virtual machine’s foreign function interface, and one for receiving. The goal of the virtual machine is to allow algorithms to be expressed in the same time complexity as they would on x86, but with the smallest possible number of instructions. This allows sage code to be maximally portable: sage’s core instruction set could be implemented in hardware much easier than any modern architecture due to its very small pool of opcodes and their simplicity

This is an interesting snippet from your website, did this project intentionally start out as an attempt to design around a Turing machine? Or is it just safe to say that all languages executing on a stack with no heap are Turing machines?
How is it impossible? I would think an MD5 quine exists with probability approaching 1 as the size of the document grows to infinity. Think about the reduced problem:

1. a document containing "1", whose hash begins with "1"

2. a document containing "12", whose hash begins with "12"

3. a document containing "123", whose hash begins with "123"

#1 is certain to exist. #2 exists, but would take 16x as long to brute force. #3 would take 16x longer again. If this pattern doesn't continue until 2^128, where would it stop, and why?

All hashes can be brute forced this way, even secure ones SHA-2. Its security relies on the fact that the earth doesn't contain enough computing power to execute a brute force attack within the universe's lifetime.

> I hate that most of these apps are subscription based for no good reason.

> If a program is sluggish, I will notice.

Well yes of course... But you haven't demonstrated ripgrep to be sluggish for your use case.

> For me, neither grep nor grep clones are as useful as ired. ired will show me the context including the formatting, e.g., spaces, carriage returns. It will print the pattern plus context to the screen exactly as it appears in the file, also in hexdump or formatted hex, like xxd -p.

Then what are you whinging about? grep isn't a command line hex editor like ired is. You're the one who came in here asking for grep -o to be faster. I never said grep (or ripgrep) could or even should replace ired in your workflow. You came in here talking about it and making claims about performance. At least for ripgrep, I think I've pretty thoroughly debunked your claims about perf. But in terms of functionality, I have no doubt whatsoever that ired is better fitted for the kinds of problems you talk about. Because of course it is. They are two completely different tools.

ired will also helpfully not report all substring results. I love how you just completely ignore the fact that your useful tool is utterly broken. I don't mean "broken" lightly. It has had hidden false negatives for 14 years. Lmao. YIKES.

> they are IMO not suitable for this type of task

Given that ripgrep gives the same output as your ired shell script (with a lot less faffing about) and it does it faster than ired, I find this claim baseless and without evidence. Of course, ripgrep will not be as flexible as ired for other hex editor use cases. Because it's not a hex editor. But for the specific case you brought up on your own accord because you wanted to come complain on an Internet message board, ripgrep is pretty clearly faster.

> nearly as fast as a big, fat grep clone in Rust

At least it doesn't have a 14 year old bug that can't find ABAB in ABAABAB. Lmao.

But I see the goalposts are shifting. First it was speed. Now that that has been thoroughly debunked, you're whinging about binary size. I never made any claims about that or said that ripgrep was small. I know it's fatter than grep (although your grep is probably dynamically linked). If people like you want to be stingy with your MBs to the point that you won't use ripgrep, then I'm absolutely cool with that. You can keep your broken software.

> Significance can be subjective. What is important to me may not be important to someone else, and vice versa. Every user is different.

A trivial truism, and one that I've explicitly acknowledged throughout this discussion. I said that milliseconds in perf could matter for some use cases, but it isn't going to matter in a human paced iteration workflow. At least, I have seen no compelling argument to the contrary.

It's even subjective whether or not you care if your tool has given you false negatives because of a bug that has existed for 14 years. Different strokes for different folks, amiright?
Oh for sure, it would be a massive upheaval, and a lot of people can't afford to do it. If they want things to get better, they have to do it anyway.

Perhaps they reverted their decision, but they did indeed discontinue their Crashplan service for non-businesses[1].

I was using it at the time and had to find an alternative, which I never really did. I tried restic and similar programs, but they were all too slow finding what changed. The key to Crashplan was that it monitored the filesystem for changes, so it didn't have to do an expensive traversal.

In the end I settled for just using the daily full-image backups I was already taking and forego the <15min backup points I had with Crashplan.

Been missing it a few times, but overall surviving without.

Ask what a "game mechanic" is and you'll get three different answers. Not even the authors of the "MDA" paper, which got everyone using that term, were consistent in their definition. I sometimes find myself using it, but it's a widget.

The way I actually do design now is by Venn diagram. At the core of the diagram lies themes, principles, beliefs, or the so-called "design pillars". The "hook" of all games that reach an audience lies in offering a coherent belief structure: "I believe I'm doing this thing because it coheres with what I think the thing is about." And it doesn't have to be "about" anything very weighty; a ball sport amounts to an excuse to play with a ball in a certain way. And it doesn't have to be a popular belief, either. But it is a hard requirement that the game has this quality, because the alternative is that the player says "I don't know what this is about and why isn't it more like this other game". Game players still say that about successful games, but it's because their belief structure doesn't allow engagement with the core.

What fills out the rest of the diagram, and the design, is the supporting expression of that belief. If you believe the game is about throwing and catching a ball, you need to introduce some equipment and rules. But the reason why the game remains compelling as a whole is down to whether or not those things are facilitating the intended kind of play, and the reason to have genres of game derives from the mode of expression shaping that engagement: some games have a lot of legible rules and stats, others hide everything behind audiovisual expression. It's books vs movies, not action vs romance.

Miyamoto's training was in industrial design. That is, he brings "toy" qualities to video games. The way in which he designs follows from that: rather than exploring a core that is literary, like "hubris" or "rebirth", Mario's play value is in the experience of running and jumping. Therefore, Mario's world follows from providing elements that engage further with running and jumping - motives to progress, obstacles to face, abilities that change his relationship to those obstacles. And the direction of Nintendo as a whole, since he started working there, has been to make products tightly focused around toy concepts, with hardware platforms that allowed more experiments to take place.
It's hard for popular media to become lost these days.

I turned them all on at once and had a slightly out of body experience.
I bought the Art of Computer Programming volume 4A a few years ago and didn't even start reading it. 1-3 I read when I… god, my youngest child is almost that age now.

I think tonight is the time to start on 4A, before we lose Knuth too.

And as I picked it down I noticed that, almost by coincidence, AoCP stood next to Wirth's PiM2. It wasn't intentional but it feels very right. There's a set of language books that end with Systems Programming with Modula 3, the Lua book. Thinking Forth, PiM2, then a gap, then the theory-ish section starts with five volumes of Knuth. Sigh.
I wonder if this is counterproductive. In California, there are plenty of endangered aquatic species, and if people could legally buy and own captive-bred individuals, then perhaps there could be more native species kept as pets and fewer potentially invasive species.

Even better: maybe regular people with ponds, etc could (easily) get permission to stock them with species that actually belong where they live. And maybe the species would become less endangered.
Okay, either me or the ref. may have been wrong. but I distinctly remember "Veert", because it was non-intuitive to me (as the way to pronounce Wirth), as a guy who didn't know any German at the time, only English. So the ref., probably.
That's fair. Of course they're not obligated to continue it themselves. I guess I'm just speaking from disappointment when I've encountered old, seemingly interesting dead-ends before and wondered why the authors apparently abandoned their work when they'd be the ones most motivated to further it. Perhaps getting the ball rolling is more the researcher's job than improving the ball.
