RPGs tend to be focused on leveling and battle systems (think Diablo, Final Fantasy). Adventure games like King's Quest rarely involved conflict and focused more on exploration and puzzle solving. King's Quest 8: Mask of Eternity, was the first 3D entry in the series but also departed substantially from the pure exploration and story-driven elements of the earlier entries. It was a very disappointing game for me, as a long time fan of King's Quest. It wasn't even a well-done RPG.

Many know by now, but find the trade-off worth it for convenience or whatever they're getting in return. I mean, people are willingly giving up their DNA.

But, if it was the government receiving all of this data, they'd be in a panic. This has basis in current day fear-mongering about government power, as well as warnings about authoritarian governments from Orwell and beyond.

Not to say there's no reason to be concerned, but the casual mentions of 1984 are hilariously dated and ironic in 2024.

More substantively, it also reveals the naivete of those who wish to completely disempower their democratic governments. That is, someone will still retain the power when it's taken from the government. The only question is who and whether everyday people will have a voice in their own governance.

One look at corporate power and our deference there is a pretty big hint.

I'm sure that soon all the music videos will shift to being shot on Flip cameras as the cohort of newly 20-something videographers remember that from their own childhoods.

Gaslighting is not my intent. I don't believe people should be able to control singular words or letters, I don't believe that any one human is so unique or distinct that one single trait can define them, and I don't believe that humans are all that unique even in the aggregate. If we want to discuss what it means to "use someone's voice", then by all means, let's define our terms and have a productive conversation. They got rebuffed, so they used someone else. If they didn't and still used a voice clone of her utterances, then she has legal recourse. Probably the reason they tried again was to head this situation off at the pass, thus saving the world all the bullshit that has spawned, including this thread. I'm sorry your understanding of the nature of reality itself is so shallow that Sam Altman can nudge it(I recommend staying far away from drugs!).

Weirdly, I'd say exceptional skill/talent winds up fostering empathy rather than hindering it.

When you have exceptional talent, you quickly learn not everyone is like you and that you need to understand their perspectives. Whereas if you're within the average range, you think everyone should be in the average range, so you can wind up overly frustrated with both those below it and those above it.

People mistakenly believe that a proficiency in one area means a deficiency in others, like we're all given a set of stat points at birth we have to allocate. When the truth is some people are just generally proficient. There are people with higher intelligence and greater empathy. It's not a choice. And ironically, empathy is one of those things that is actually positively correlated with intelligence. Which kind of tracks as a component of intelligence is pattern recognition and empathy is a form of pattern recognition.
Depending on the type of string search this is not completely true. A naive string search is O(kn) (where k is the length of the search string) which is actually slower than the O(n) that a DFA can get.

But KMP and similar algorithms can do better; they can get performance approaching O(n/k) for many cases by not even looking at every character of the input string.
What others do you know of, or is there a resource to find out more?
> The question was, why checked exceptions saw no love. A big part of the answer is that the stdlib did a very poor job showcasing them.

Fair enough. I can see that interpretation. I was more focused on their first sentence, which said: "On top of all the other problems pointed out, java's checked exceptions don't even do a good job of indicating possible failure conditions." Then it felt like they were backing that claim by citing a specific example that's just a poor use of the feature.

> No wonder, it was an attempt to graft an FP-esque feature onto a deeply imperative OOP language, with a development team aligned with OOP concepts.

That's an interesting take that I hadn't really heard before or considered myself. I had assumed that it came from some frustration around C++ exceptions and not knowing what was supposed to be handled vs not.

But, in any case, I do agree that the feature ended up rejected by the larger programming community largely because of Java's specific implementation of it.

Though, I have to say that I think it might have ended up rejected even if Java did a perfect job of it in the standard library. The truth is that most programmers don't seem to understand the intended design of the feature and feel like there's a binary choice between using checked exceptions or unchecked exceptions. The Oracle documentation does a very good job, IMO, of explaining the feature, how it's intended to be used, and how do decide whether to use an unchecked exception or a checked one. But, I don't think most people actually read manuals/books to learn programming languages anymore.

> And I think making an excellent game is a lot like reaching product-market fit.

Making an excellent game takes quite different skills than creating a commercially successful game; just compare "pop culture" (optimized to be commercially successful) vs "high-brow culture".

Even if you are not the "extremely high-brow taste" kind of person, there exist quite some video game genres in which excellent games are produced, but the audience of these games is a quite small (but sophisticated) niche audience, so that just by volume, games of these genres likely won't make a lot of money.
I can see them being useful for reducing the tedious cases. Especially the failure paths. Otherwise, my view is that if a unit test can be easily auto generated and the code is not already covered by a feature/integration test, then maybe it's a waste of time to look at it. I'd be more interested in integration tests generated from a description... which doesn't work that great yet.

Adding the simple unit tests ensures the current design of the internals is suddenly more "final" than before, and maybe more than intended.

Yes I agree about the frustration. I'm running some of my repositories on Forgejo and am starting to enjoy it more and more. Page loads and Git pushes are much quicker. Probably because my local server doesn't need to talk to, I assume, some massive database in another continent (I'm in the EU).

> please please please use my given name.

I assume, and please correct me if I misrepresent your reason, that you're referring to the fact that most Vietnamese have last names from a very small pool?

For those unaware: The 10 most common last names in Vietnam makes up 85% of the population, and nearly half Nguyen alone. I looked it up and Bùi is far less common, but still represents 11% of the population...

For comparison, only .7% of the US population is named Smith.

So in terms of naming something so you get recognition, in Vietnam Bùi is about 16 times worse than Smith would be in the US... Of course, internationally it might have made relatively little difference.

(and if it's not on the list of falsehoods programmers might believe about names - I haven't checked - Vietnamese is one good reason why if anyone think sharding users by last name is a good idea, thinking names like Smith is the worst case, depending on their demographics they may be wildly wrong)
What you say is true, but does not really apply here.
