I think it can set your free, but I don't think it's a necessity. I think it's totally possible to move on and process something without forgiving.

There's currently a cultural pressure to forgive, as if that's the only option. That makes things more difficult for those who are not able to forgive. There is no right way to process a wrong.
This kind of thing always makes me want to build a programming language with monadic file IO where the FS actually gets logically copied and modified at each write (but maybe this can get optimized away by a compiler).
Unfortunately, you can't, because it isn't the opacity and fancy buttons making it slow in the first place. It's still a false dichotomy.
Doesn't strong consistency always imply some form of explicit locking that collides with availability? As in a distributed system it needs to go something like:

1. Get write request to a node

2. Node sends lock on that updated data to rest of nodes

3. After they send back OK the write happens

4. Propagate to rest of nodes

5. After receiving OK on the update from all of the nodes send notification to nodes to lift the lock

So if a partition happens the system fails if it is CA while with e.g. CA it cannot guarantee strong consistency without resolving the split brain (killing of one of the partitions based on e.g. quorum)?
Well then you wouldn't be playing audio without a DAC, would you?

> They said most Mongolians weren’t interested in working with the dirt.

What a strange statement. Most people in most countries aren’t interested in “working with the dirt” as their full time occupation. Are they supposed to be interested in working with dirt more than other countries for some reason, and not aim for science, tech, education, finance, arts, etc? I just looked it up, and Mongolia’s economy is around 35% mining and agriculture, with 10% of their total GDP from agriculture, which is quite a bit higher than New Zealand, so their statement seems especially ironic. The US and European economies have an even lower fraction of mining and agriculture, and aspire to get away from manual labor, especially involving dirt.

Also don’t forget it’s much easier to grow things in NZ than Mongolia: “the high altitude, extreme fluctuation in temperature, long winters, and low precipitation provides limited potential for agricultural development. The growing season is only 95 – 110 days. Because of Mongolia's harsh climate, it is unsuited to most cultivation.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolia#Agriculture

A good animation is one you do not notice. Subtlety that succeeds in loading off its feedback payload in your brain without exposing the transmission mechanism to the conscious level of perception.

Chances are you are only complaining about the subset of animations that failed to stay under that threshold. Yes, slow, elaborate animations are bad.

Not a helicopter, nor an expert in them, but modern electrical engines are significantly more efficient than traditional ICE motors. Also, the scalability of existing small-form quadcopters (etc) means it's much easier for companies to start from the ground up with that sort of tech, rather than developing a complicated rotor/contra rotor set up.

Basically, it would have been very difficult to go the contemporary route in decades gone by, whilst it doesn't quite make as much sense for the usage scenarios to go the traditional route.

Oh yeah way better except for not being able to see all of your options or even how many options there are without interacting with it, at least double the number of keystrokes to operate, more cognitive load to parse and operate, not being idiomatic for the interaction, etc. etc. etc. There are lots of uses that dropdowns work better for, but saying they're simply better is asinine.

It depends on the motive, if the person is highly motivated to indulge in hedonistic pleasure and alcohol gives him that, well he is achieving his objective. Where as person wants to experience some love/friendship and can't get it and he is using alcohol as a mask you know where to put him.
My lay understanding is that more rotors are more efficient, but also more unstable due to a concept known as disc loading (the ratio of weight vs swept area of the blades). I'd guess the main reason we don't see more than two rotors on traditional helicopters is partly due to the complexity of transmitting power to multiple locations from a single engine (or having multiple engines), and partly because making such a system responsive enough for stable flight is hard. Electric motors neatly solve both problems.
Yeah those. I choose them in order, no matter the subject, and put a password manager passphrase in.
Almost certainly because electric motors can be directly coupled to each small rotor. It would be much harder to have individual engines directly mounted to small rotors, requiring additional weight and complexity), and there would be a mechanical complexity and efficiency loss if using a single engine to distribute torque to a number of different rotors through complex gearing and driveshaft mechanisms. Possible probably, but perhaps not lighter or more efficient.

I assure you, I do notice them. I am disabling them everywhere I can. I disable them in my Desktop Environment, I disable them on my Android smartphone. I am way more productive without them.

Now, I don't hate animations per se. On the contrary as I dabble in game dev I find them crucial to "juice up" a game. They have their place but that is not productivity software that people are forced to use daily. They are for play not work.

> This is a common trope among developers who think their feelings about interface design carry more weight than the research that actually tests these things. It holds about as much weight as any other feelings vs facts argument.

Many open source devs are users of their software. You are making a false dichotomy where developer are some special creatures with totally different needs. I like what I like. There is no such thing as an "average user". People have different needs. Making software for the lowest common denominator will create UI that will be miserable for everyone to use.

Now I am willing to listen to actual academic studies about UI design and productivity but your acting like some corporate internal studies are actually legit science is silly. We all know this things are are more drive by corporate politics.

Ultimately pretty shallow. This is more an exploration of how it feels to make a "sticky" game rather than how to actually make a sticky game.

I certainly don't have any expertise or deep insight but I will say that one of the best videos I've seen on this is "The art of screenshake" by J. Nijman of Vlambeer [0]. There, he walks through what's a very basic 2d sidescroller shooter and adds in effects until it looks like an actual fun game. The idea being that layering feedback and effects so that every aspect of the game becomes more fun to play.

It sounds like this podcast was focusing more on Hearthstone and Marvel Snap, both games which I haven't played but are more strategy and luck oriented than the kind of games Vlambeer makes. I think one of the insights there is that there's a non-commutative aspect of the game that allows for different strategies based on context. For example, A > B, B > C but C > A, like in rock paper scissors, or some of its generalizations [1]. I think this is what Magic the Gathering did with each of the colors. Maybe the keyword here is "mixed strategies"?

Nijman's video highlights, to me, the importance of polish and how we basically understand that many core mechanics are fun and so don't need to be innovative if you add in enough polish or support around it.

One other thing I'll mention is that A. Bruce who developed Antichamber had a GDC talk about his process of development [2]. One of the interesting points he made was that he got it in front of players and watched how long they played. He tried to continually optimize for engagement, trying to get people to play a minute longer, etc. until he worked through to a fun game.

Mongolia is an incredibly shitty place to farm outside a couple of valleys with nice microclimates. There's very little infrastructure for the equipment and resources, and any farmers would be competing with Chinese farmers that don't have these constraints and can hit vastly lower price points. Farming is a difficult life in the best of situations, but not doing it in Mongolia is simply common sense.

If you're old and grumpy[1] and don't want a homelab but paradoxically want homelab functionality, I can't recommend the Firewalla[2] enough. And heck, it would fit right into a homelab situation, as well.

It allows you to go deep into settings and configure anything to your heart's content. But, if you want to ignore it for a year and not mess with it, it will run as smoothly as an Eero or a similar consumer product like that.

I have a Purple model[3]. I initially balked at the price, but it performs well, and there hasn't been a single day in the past couple years where I've regretted it or looked at something else.

It supports just about any router feature. Has robust and easy to configure device/family profiles. The quality of the Firewalla software and the mobile app is excellent.

That quote has nothing to do with cybersecurity, it's the title of a book by Steve Krug about web usability.

I am unfortunately old enough to have read that book when it first came out, and it's exclusively around how to design front-end UIs on websites to reduce user complexity. There is no mention of infrastructure or security at all.

You're making a quote around how we should make websites more usable and understandable to users - so they can use them without thinking - into something it isn't.
ETH is outperforming BTC.

ETH Merged from PoW to PoS in Sept 2022, and decimated the entire GPU mining industry, cutting obscene power usage down to just running some servers. Sure, there is a small amount of shitcoin PoW mining still, but overall it was a massive change across the board.

Combine that with the transactional burn introduced into EIP-1559, supply is going down because the network isn't having to pay as much for security.

Then, we have EigenLayer, which is taking staked ETH and restaking it to provide an additional layer of security to layer 2 networks. Now, you're just locking up even more ETH. 3m ($12b) are locked into that one alone. Vicious cycle.

ETH is about to have a network upgrade, the first since the Merge, that helps lay the groundwork for scaling.

These factors are all contributing to the growth as new money rolls back into DeFi.

I think that impostor syndrome is inextricably linked with Dunning-Kruger.

I believe that impostor syndrome is a lack of overconfidence in one's abilities- that implies that you have the ability to assess competence and to assess the skills needed for a job or task, and you don't default to "I know I can do it well". When you encounter a novel job or task, you don't immediately assume competence, and you will remain uncertain until you fully understand the requirements of the job or task. A lot of impostor syndrome comes from "don't fully understand what's required, but it looked complicated from the outside", and will go away with greater understanding provided you actually have the skills and the competence to self-assess.

If you lacked the ability to assess competence in yourself, then you likely would not have impostor syndrome.

I don't see why it's a balance. Impostor syndrome typically lessens over time as you become familiar with the job/task and the requirements necessary to perform well, and are better able to assess your own skills against those requirements.

If impostor syndrome doesn't go away with time, maybe you are correctly assessing that you don't (yet) have the requisite skills.

If you never get impostor syndrome, then you either aren't challenging yourself or you might not have the subject area competence to assess your own skills level vs. the jobs/tasks you take on, e.g. Dunning-Kruger effect.

I started a few months ago. Reddit's /r/homelab has lots of great resources, and you can get some good deals through /r/homelabsales, though the best deals usually go quickly.

Like with learning a programming language, having a specific goal helps a lot.

Reading other people's posts about their hardware, how they use it, and what problems they solved with their homelab can be a source of inspiration that sets you on the right path.

Like others on this thread have said, while it's tempting to immediately dive into racks, patch cables and network diagrams, you can achieve A LOT with something simple like a small NAS or a NUC. Even a spare laptop that you can repurpose might be more than sufficient.

Unless you're trying to simulate managing enterprise hardware (and I mean physically managing it), the greatest value lies in learning the software side of thing, IMHO.
