Skyscrapers are expensive to build and maintain.

They are built as a solution to high population density (the only place to go is up) combined with high demand and standard of living that can and will absorb the added cost.

Oklahoma City fails to meet these criteria.

To see this, compare OKC to a nearby major city like Chicago.

- Population density of OKC is 1100 per sq. mile. Chicago is 12000.

- Per capita income in OKC is $36K. Chicago is $46K.

Based on demographics, this sort of tower in OKC looks out of place --- more like maybe a marketing/financing gimmick rather than a serious proposal. I doubt it will ever be completed as proposed because most bankers/financers are likely to reach the same, rather obvious conclusion.

The demo they show uses the Quill rich-text editor, which handles block elements analogously to text attributes: a block's type is determined by the attributes on its trailing newline. E.g., for a block that is part of an ordered list, the newline's format is `{ list: "ordered" }`.

I keep seeing this claim repeated without a citation. I just looked at Wikipedia and could not find any examples, except as it pertains to Dragon Quest Monsters, which does seem similar to Pokemon, but came out in 1998, after Pokemon. Regular Dragon Quest -- which I have not played -- looks like a normal JRPG like Final Fantasy. Dragon Quest Monsters appears to be a monster collector, but the timeline (as mentioned) is wrong.

Care to provide any evidence for this claim? I'm starting to think this is another case of "Kimba the White Lion is a ripoff of The Lion King" and someone is going to have to make a 2.5 hr long YouTube video debunking the Internet's idea that Pokemon is a ripoff of Dragon Quest.
I think the incident.svelte file could use some love, is it best practice to put part of the phrase somewhere else? Doesn't it increase the cognitive stress? Like there is somewhere a phrase, but part of the text is being calculated https://github.com/rajnandan1/kener/blob/74ea57d6bbf6ac4dd3e...

Isn't it easier to understand what is going on just by calculating the condition on the top and put the text on the markup based on that condition?

I feel like there are few places where in order to don't duplicate part of the text it's being made extremely difficult what the text is going to be by putting it far away

Used electronics of decent quality is really difficult to come across in third world countries.

There is both a cultural reason and an economic reason, people just keep their stuff longer instead of replacing it when the next generation technology is available.

I helped out at a computer repair shop as a teenager and the stuff people kept asking you repair were in really bad shape.

Can’t speak to the specifics of what you want to do WRT Telegram.

But as a programmer, it’s not something I’d be attempting on-device.

Unless of course it absolutely had to be done with my own main number that is tied to my eSIM….

But at that point I’d begin questioning my life choices that led me to this situation! ;-)
From the article linked below:

>The company found that a car’s four tires collectively emit 1 trillion ultrafine particles — of less than 100 nanometers — per kilometer driven. These particles, a growing number of experts say, pose a unique health risk: They are so small they can pass through lung tissue into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier or be breathed in and travel directly to the brain, causing a range of problems.

That's extraordinarily problematic for human beings, particularly if storm water runoff finds its way into a city's water supply.
Engineers can fail, and when they don't QA may, but it's management that chose to believe otherwise
My understanding is that prior to the 70s most CEOs were effectively ceo for life. They were strongly incentivized to preserve the business, even if that meant keeping it at a low/no growth state.

When the MBA and Private Equity craze kicked in, we had golden parachutes and other instruments which pushed companies into growth mode.

It is not immediately clear to me that incentivizing short term growth is a wise business strategy for the long term.

Nearly every element of Palworld seems to be a very blatant imitation of another popular franchise.

- Pokemon, obviously.

- The text when you enter a new area, the fonts, etc all scream BOTW/TOTK to me (among other things to a lesser extent like the into sequence and climbing mechanics).

- The immediate visual of a larger-than-life tree looming over the world is evocative of Elden Ring, and to a lesser extend the emphasis on dodging is very similar to fromsoft games.

- Basic crafting/base-building mechanics from every other early access game released in the last decade.

I'm still really enjoying Palworld, I don't want to sound like I'm being overly critical. It's fun to have all of these elements combined into a fun game that people will forget in a few weeks. It's just obvious that there wasn't a ton of original thought put into the game. It also lacks a lot of very basic features relating to multiplayer progression and team mechanics.
I'm seeing that same pattern now. How did that weirdo version of scrumbut become so popular?
Right, I also don't understand why it's considered a feature of many of these languages to introduce so many ways of doing the same thing. Like the boolean example, but also having three different ways to express a list or dictionary? It's the classic Robustness principle which makes it less robust, making reading and parsing more complicated. How about just allowing one syntax and error if it's not according to spec.
It’s a good theory, but not obvious at all.

- It is not known that that the Romans used knitted clothing. Knitting was invented later.

- Knitting can be done with cheaper, easier to craft tools that are just as effective. Knitting doesn’t explain the cost and skill required to craft the dodecahedrons.

- There is no wear on these dodecahedrons that we’d normally expect from a well-used tool.
Imagining the state as a perfect parent who'll make everything fair, so should have all the power, is really not a great option, I think. It's better to think of it as a service provider that should get out of the way where possible, including managing things like supply and demand.

Best bet is probably to start by making a game. One option is to start by building a simple game using an existing engine, and eventually get deeper and deeper into the libraries you're using until you decide to contribute back to that engine, or create your own. Alternatively you could just start by making something incredibly simple, a Pong or NES Mario clone, and then work your way up through the generations to something more modern. The first approach is probably easier, as you'd have lots of tutorials from the community around the modern engine.

A chunk of it is copy protection. Dev devices can necessarily run software not signed by the manufacturer, which means copy protection can be bypassed using PC-like methods and loaded to a dev device. Thus, they want to make sure the dev device is not the device that most consumers purchase.

It's not like there haven't been tons of books and studying done on the topic. We have an _almost_ ideal production methodology that ensures absolute quality (the Toyota Production System). I take issue with its just-in-time supply chain, but the quality factor is worth emulating, and basically any company who has has guaranteed themselves best quality outcome.

So this is willfully producing a less than superior product, which, when it comes to airplanes, is basically criminally negligent since it will result in a crashing plane that kills people.

Not sure how execs are so capable of dodging culpability, but I'd say the real issue is our justice system holds no one rich to account.

Thank you for the clarification. I suppose that explains it - as an engineer, I was naturally thinking of a pretty different kind of paper. I guess the same standards don't make sense for every field.
An expected phase transition in this context is stochastic. The transition to order is expected, and there are bulk properties that are the same on each run, but the exact details differ each time.

I know that Junio C Hamano applies all patches himself to git.git and thus is the committer on all commits.[1] That is how Git works when picking out patches from a mailbox.

The are all committed by people, not some middle man program.

Ask HN: What web development stack do you prefer in 2024?
Curious to hear what those starting new projects/startups are choosing for web application tooling and frameworks. This is meant to be an informal survey of the HN community for their web development preferences.

On the front end side of things, I feel that React is not the default framework as Svelte and HTMX are everywhere (or maybe I am reading too much Twitter). On the backend side, I think it is a bit more open and has to vary from project to project based on specific needs but would love to hear what you are using and why anyway.

For many, I realize the answer may be to use the tools you are most comfortable with but wanted to ask just to see.
Nothing can be made or manufactured that is unnatural or artificial. By definition, anything that can exist in this universe is naturally part of the universe.

Just as a frame of reference, the most severe typhoon to directly hit Taipei seems to be Typhoon Morakot, which recorded wind speeds of 150 km/h (90 mph). The most severe tornado to hit Oklahoma seems to be from 1999, in which wind reached 484 km/h (301 mph).
Quite possibly. Iirc the benefit of ziggurat is that you get a "real" Gaussian with infinite tails in both directions vs inverse transform truncates it but it has been a very long time.

Separated by 3 sentences.

There's a few people choosing to be obtuse in the comments ("the only person 'allowed' to cover for you is another union member": correct, because otherwise it's an ersatz way to break a union) or obtuse and offensive ("soft, entitled people deserve to have their jobs taken by machines and immigrants")

That's self-peasantization.

Well, I'm not that of a young folk. I was playing with computers (programming, in fact) in the early 90s, and I remember when it was expensive.

However, Eclipse is formatting C++ code with a simple hotkey and without breaking it and understanding the language for the last 15 years as far as I can remember. It's instant, too.

Because of that I feel a bit surprised when younger people look it like it's black magic. It's neither new, nor unsolved in my conscious experience.
Your best bet would be to buy an unpatched Switch from eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/144952360896, etc), make or purchase an RCM jig, and dive into the homebrew scene. GbaTemp is a good place to start.

Outside of buying an official dev kit, I think that may be your only option.

> But I'm surprised why this one too hasn't focussed a lot on rich-text block elements (like lists, tables & sections)

This is where the real strength of crdts is, IMO. Tree-like structures turn into DAGs once you have multiple edits happening (two users editing a tree node create children with two parents) and are much more interesting than linear data like a string. It's definitely not the most efficient way to store data, but it's incredibly convenient for reconciling versions of pretty complex UI.

A few years ago I threw together a report-writing app for car crash data that let you drop different graphs, maps, visualizations, table excerpts (eg "select top 5 worst roads") that could all reference each other. You make a report for your hometown, and some other team could fork it to see the results for their area.

Data were all update live, even if it was pinned to a specific time, since things could be updated after the fact. That other team could then add in a new section of the report or change the conclusion section, and still get the first team's updates to the shared sections (with an option to revert).

You can do like... most stuff like that, if you want. Slides, tables, drawings, whatever. It's not great for graphs but idk what is good for graphs.

This isn't a tabs or spaces issue. This is a "your editor is bad or configured wrong" issue.
> Thinking about it, I wonder if both people picking multiple numbers and adding them all up mod N would improve things.

I bet that our bias against clustering and repetition when creating a pseudo-random list of numbers would mean that a list would be less random than an individual pick. As a simple example, if picking two numbers, people would probably be more likely to pick one even and one odd number than two even or odd numbers, since a mix of even and odd feels more authentically random, resulting in an excess of odd sums.

As an alternative, what if each person created a short list and then blindly chose one number from the other person's list?
Every editor I know can enter n spaces when pressing tab. That might solve your concern.

From what I've read, there is a massive amount of disappointment with the previous Pokemon games. I haven't played them but if you read about what the community thinks it's almost entirely negative. They feel like there is no effort put into making those games truly great. This game, apparently, is close enough to Pokemon to scratch the itch and is done well enough. That doesn't explain all the popularity but it explains some of it.
