Recommend "Why Spec Ops: The Line Mattered" by Game Makers Toolkit[1] if you are unsure why this game gets the praise it does.

I first played it when it was a free PS+ game years ago thinking it looked like a fun, if not generic, Modern Warfare clone. Which it is, until it isn't. I haven't played a military shooter since.

They can only pay me because many others like me deliver value, generating money to pay us.

Is a symbiotic relationship, the money only exists due to labour.
Best book I've read on it, really respect the Author after reading it. She is wise and a good follow on Twitter.
I wonder if shorting out the windings or even more extreme, reversing polarity on the running motor would have enough of an effect to cause the jump.
You don't need to do that, there are perfectly good torrents. Just get one of those.
I live in an apartment so I've found some things I can make inside. Currently doing sewing and machine embroidery. Making mostly kigurumis/furry related cosplay stuff/plushies and props.

It's a lot of fun and something you can do away from a computer. Though the machine embroidery does still require using a computer.
I thought it advertised the new labor camp.

This is the case for all Steam games afaik.
It's unfortunate indeed if Julia does not have a well-written GC as you imply.

While I feel like I have my head wrapped around ownership well enough to write (dare I say idiomatic) Rust without too much difficulty, I do find myself often in a position where I wish I just had a GC.

I think this speaks to what your parent comment is saying: I think there are many situations where the performance improvement over having fine-grained control of my code's memory management is not worth the extra time I have to spend thinking about it. As it stands, I will sometimes give up and slap a bunch of clones or Rcs on my code so it compiles, then fix it up later. But the performance usually is good enough for my use even with all of these "inefficiencies," which makes me sometimes wish I could instead just have a GC.
> Please don't do this, and don't normalize other people doing it

Unfortunately, that's how the competitive market works.

People shouldn't be penalized for the tech stack that their company used vs. what companies are looking for. Skills from one platform to another are very fungible (eg - Java/.NET, AWS/Azure), so "beefing up" a resume is what's required if you plan on getting any calls back.

> Dishonesty isn't something I want to have to be understanding about in colleagues.

I have some bad news for you...

> .. I don't want there to be more rationalization for crappy interview process.

No one is forcing you to participate in interviews which require doing a coding test or system design review. You are more than capable of withdrawing your candidacy.

I would bet that a lot of equally-skilled people are lining up behind you and ready to do that extra work in order to stand out and get a job. Don't place yourself on too-high of a pedestal, my friend.
I guess the difference is that woodworking stuff you can show pictures and videos of stuff you've made. While software engineering is often sensitive internal information or team work where the stuff you did is very mixed with what others did.
Don’t think it’s self-evident. My point was only that if I were to accept OPs argument I’d have to accept them larger argument to abolish the existing subsidies, and the article didn’t persuade me that to do so is the best way to go.

I’d like to read an argument against subsidizing development.

After reading the article it’s still unclear why what he did was bad? I presume some kind of negative ecological effect?
Yeah. It could have just even been like “we like the idris effect set formulation” and that would have been clearer
That is an accurate summary indeed.

I'd posit that this is not necessarily a feature of large corporations; I've been in smaller places (startups, to boot) where I observed almost all of what you've described.

It takes a certain combination of sociopathic, psychopathic, and apathetic individuals in the right places to make this happen -- and they're almost always present in the right (wrong?) places, regardless of size.

It seems that there’s a philosophy with these kinds od cloud data services: measure everything then figure out what to measure after.

It seems that the better approach is to make a hypothesis first, collect only the data you need, and then analyze.

Otherwise it seems the indirect costs of retooling around “measure all the things indiscriminately” and the direct costs of paying for such services don’t seem worth it.

Can someone offer a reasonable rebuttal?
Looks like the lag can be fixed by only updating b.innerText once per frame. This seems like a ff bug to be honest, but it appears that rapidly updating the size of innerText is the culprit.

This is also not realistic (if other people in his position aim for much more). Wouldn’t you wonder “why is this person with 30 years of experience applying for this role? Maybe got confused? Maybe they’re troubled in some way? Maybe they’ll stay for 2 months and get bored and leave?”.
> I see the golden rule is dead.

You have completely misunderstood the meaning of the golden rule. “Treat others the way you wish to be treated” does not mean “subject others to your personal desires”. It means “respect the wishes of others as you would want them to respect yours.” You have no right to compel the behavior of anyone else.

> But if my thanking or praising you is abuse then I feel this is a personal issue than a character flaw. Learn to take a compliment and learn to bow out gracefully.

Please stop being a bully. You are hurting people with your behavior. Please stop hurting people.
That's not how this works though, right? They're not saying "we think this movie was worth $100 million because that's what someone offered us, so we're going to write off $100 million.", they're saying "We spent $100 million on making this, and we think there's no way to recoup the expenses by releasing it, so we're writing off the $100 million we already spent on it." The "we already spent that money" is the key part here.

If you're running "Loot Boxes Unlimited" and your business is taking off like a rocket and you invest $300 million in a new HQ, and then just as your finishing up, congress passes a law making loot boxes illegal and you're no longer going to be able to afford moving into that new HQ, you get to write off those expenses just the same. You must offset them by any gains you get from any part of it you do sell off, but you're under no obligation to sell the building, you can just keep it on the books depreciating slowly. Most companies will try to sell what they can to recoup some of those losses, because recouping any of the loss tends to be a better financial option than the write off for that same amount. But selling a building doesn't have the same legal and contractual entanglements that selling a movie might have.

Additionally a building is still useful even if you can't use it for what it was originally intended for. But who is going to buy a movie they can't release? You'd need some company with enough money to buy a produced movie (even if at a discount) who also thinks they could release it and make enough money on it to cover their costs AND who will also be willing to take on all the contractual obligations like licensing and residuals. And chances are in addition to all of that, they also have to be willing to license the various properties that the movie studio already owns (or worse, re-negotiate the rights from the original holders that the studio had already previously negotiated).

It's also important to remember that those expenses would have been written off whether or not the movie was released. My understanding here is the only difference between releasing and not releasing the movie is whether that write off occurs over 3-5 years, or all in this year
That anybody believed the media's claim that refrigerators had computers in them in the 1990s seems like a case of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect[0]. Smart refrigerators didn't even exist until LG released one in June 2000 that was a commercial failure[1].

Did your investment of money in FTX cause it to fail? Because that's what destroying a building is: an intentional choice by a company to destroy an asset that it owns.

I mean Obsidian has only been around 3 years so it seems odd to set the VC bar at 15 years. Plenty of non-VC companies sell out or go out of business in various ways. The argument is likely valid but you'd want data points on both ends.
Alas it seems a little too common in gaming. My favorite racing game Blur (played some today!) has an amazing licensed sound-track. The license expired & the game was taken down from online storefronts.

Time to share some poetry from the Cyberiad by Stanislav Lem:

Thank you. This is a really good explainer for what is happening.
You can download an extract of your country from Geofabrik, run it through Tilemaker (https://github.com/systemed/tilemaker) to get a nice mbtiles file, and then use the built-in Ruby server to give you something you can load in your web-browser locally.
You specified that they disagreed with you "civilly", which generally means they behaved in a way you agreed with, even if they had differing opinions on non-behavior topics. People still only like genuine people when the genuineness includes behavior they like.

Should we also hide the names of the universities we went to and the names of former employers we worked at?
Which tech stack are they planning to use? It seems like Planetiler and tilemaker are popular options but do they scale for OSM's needs? Protomaps PMtiles are also very interesting
Despite the claims of other replies that this is fine, I actually wonder if it is. Let's examine the MIT license and the effect on the software before and after:

> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the “Software”), to deal in the Software without restriction,

Ok, so if I grabbed anything before the license change I can do whatever I like with it.

> including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so,

So, the relicense is allowed, but...

> subject to the following conditions:

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

So the new software even when AGPL-licensed is still MIT licensed right? It just has another license that also applies. So I think realistically, from a legal perspective I could still do whatever I want with it.

"to deal in the Software without restriction"

AGPL applies a set of restrictions that apply to the dealings that you have with the software. These restrictions hence do not apply to any parts of the software that are still MIT licensed.

To make this effective, the AGPL-licensed software would specifically have to call out the pieces that are not the MIT licensed software and are only AGPL-licensed. That seems like a lot of effort and would be difficult to maintain.

To demonstrate the absurdity, let's take a stupid hypothetical change - add an extra set of parentheses to a variable assignment. `i = 42;` becomes `i = (42);`. What is the license that applies to that line? - It's a substantial copy of the the software, that has been sublicensed. I'd say it's still MIT licensed (but IANAL).

My personal perspective on this is to avoid the GPL in any form in software __that I write__ (though I'm happy to consume it) and stick with MIT/Apache when possible. I'm still trying to understand if this perspective has merit, but it works for me for now.
"VCware" is a nice succinct term to use, I hope it catches on in the wider tech/power user scene and the first comment about any launch is whether it's "vcware". Of course it will be a bit awkward here on HN due to somewhat obvious reasons but hopefully elsewhere the term becomes used.

I think one thing that royally pisses me off even more then an initial VC backed launch is a seemingly stable, premium product going from "user-supported" to accepting VC funds (eg: Bitwarden). Just the absolute worst. Now I know I have to deal with this migration away for the whole family at some point in my (probably near) future.

I had similar experience with TMW. Tried to contribute with a new system in the game, made proposals and first draft implementation. I had 10 years of professional AAA gamedev at the time... I was mocked and kinda bullied.

Never looked back to this project, but explains why this project is basically stuck at the same place as before.

In any case, I didn't let this bad experience affect my passion for foss and I continued contributing to more welcoming and successful projects.

Paper about Alzheimers and the Tsimane people: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz... Notable quotes:

as most dementia is found among individuals ≥ 75 years of age, the pyramid-shaped age structure of the Tsimane and Moseten populations means that the crude prevalence would be expected to be low.

Relatively low exposure to traffic and industrial sources of environmental pollution are offset to an unknown extent by cooking fires and biomass burning.

Evidence is converging as to the major modifiable risk factors for dementia and AD.5, [6] These include low formal education[7]; vascular factors, including midlife hypertension and diabete[8]; cardiovascular disease other than stroke[9]; physical inactivity[10]; and—a recently recognized addition—air pollution.[6] Higher coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores—a marker of atherosclerosis—is related to increased risk of dementia.[11] Evidence-based dietary recommendations for reducing risk of dementia and AD include regular consumption of fresh vegetables, fruits, and fish.[12] In addition, several microbial pathogens have been associated with AD.

Perhaps few ancient greeks lived long enough (75+) to get Dementia. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18359748/ says

In a study of all men of renown, living in the 5th and 4th century in Greece, we identified 83 whose date of birth and death have been recorded with certainty. Their mean +/- SD and median lengths of life were found to be 71.3+/-13.4 and 70 years, respectively.
"Object-oriented" is another such example.
This is interesting to me because (if I understand correctly) Twitter uses 'universal ids' like tweets, user profiles, messages etc all use the same type of ID so they need big numbers

Also I wonder what underlying factors would make a data type max out at 18,446,740,000,000,000,000
Disclaimer : I'm the cofounder of Syncari. I agree 100%. The whole notion of modern data stack is a myopic , neither here nor there philosophy to address data in my opinion.

Just take a look at the sheer number of tools one has to run - ETL(or more commonly, data dumpers), Wearhouse, transform tool,"reverse ETL", data quality tools, BI. And if you want some ML, that's whole another game.

We also believe strongly in an integrated approach to this space, with a data model at the center of it all.
Yes, that is life without a corporation that takes the risks for you. Wasn't that what you wanted?

You can't have your cake and eat it, you either get the risk or you take orders from someone who took on that risk for you and give you a stable income.
Probably something else that is straightforward to incrementally update (applies to all 3 cases from your comment).

Firstly, Big Kudos if you were able to bootstrap a big business this is very very hard (actually doing this with VC money is also hard). As someone who did both VC funded startup and self-funded (fuzzit.dev acquired by GitLab), I would say doing a self-funded startup even though it sounds good (because you are an underdog and you win on the hardest level if you succeed), a lot of time is really impossible or if possible there is information people are not sharing - for example for self-funded - did you include 300k-600k you had as saving that you used while working on it (or did you consulting while working on it). Did you take loans to grow faster? - the details are really important.

Personally I got to a conclusion that the common ground is a lot of time what makes sense. If you can validate as much as possible before raising the first round, raising reasonable amount of what you need to prove or get to the next milestone and do a lot of first principal thinking that could be better then beiing on each side of the extreme - let's raise as much as possible or Im not taking any VC money because it is all bad. Just my 2 cents but yes if you can grow a business with your own money - then it's amazing - just think this is not possible in a lot of cases and products.

Part of the problem with batteries (apart from the tech) is that Australia has retreated from trying to get people to pay for their power and are resorting back to subsidy and cross subsidy for political reasons.

Whether or not it’s a good thing is up for debate but it’s certainly harming battery ROI.
Fully remote would be a pretty nice perk, ever since our companies forced us back to the office. I believe this alone might be one of the easiest ways for smaller companies to poach talent these days.

Other than that, I enjoy working in hard and impactful problems. I'm privileged that I was able to do that in FAANG, but it's unclear how long this will last. I know that is very trite to say that your company has changed, but I truly feel it. Our company missed the LLM train and we are scrambling to play catch up now. Also we mostly pivoted from bold and inspiring initiatives to efficiency and cost cutting. Most of the initiatives in our pipeline for this year are pretty dull "let's save some dollars here and there". Nothing wrong with that, but given the choice, the chance of working on a moonshot vs helping a trillion $ company save pennies might convince one to change jobs.

There is also the very trite but very true aspect of "small cog in a huge machine". I might engineer a new system that brings in tens of millions of dollars to the company, and I'd be lucky if 3 layers of management above me knows about it. Those kind of initiatives might influence the entire company in a smaller organization.

All in I recognize I'm quite privileged and doing pretty well in my current job, and that's why I'm passively looking. TBH one of the aspects is that I got FOMO from all the talk about ML engineers being in high demand. However my experience so far has been very underwhelming.

Dementia starts to be noticeable in modern society after about 75. I haven't found a source showing the distribution of age at diagnosis.

Also the title is highly misleading: Alzheimers is only one form of dementia.

From another source:

A growing number of studies indicate that the prevalence 223.267.315-322 and incidence270.320-329 of Alzheimer's and other dementias in the United States and other higher income Western countries may have declined in the past 25 years,270,277.320-328.330-333 though results are mixed. 60.261.334-335 One recent systematic review found that incidence of dementia has decreased over the last four decades while incidence of Alzheimer's dementia, specifically, has held steady
yup Same here (minus the medications), I abused caffeine and my ability to go looong hours without sleep.

I just cant do it anymore, I suspect having two kids might have been the straw that broke my abused back. the first few years of kids breaking your sleeping up are pretty hard.
how can you assure that? it seems like a classic self-fulfilling prophecy of arrogance.

changes bring some adjustment uncertainty, and sometimes it goes well, things get better, sometimes it gets worse. with enough time you'll draw a short stick. it sucks.
That seems even worse for all the people affected doesn't it? Anyone who had residual contracts now not only gets nothing like they were before, but their work is still actually being distributed, even if the studio in question is getting nothing for it. I feel like the first court case we'd see after something like this would be all the actors suing some "Rejectflix" company that springs up to provide a curated streaming site for these things.
