Lmao. Only someone who has never been a part of a high performance team with excellent mentors available in person throughout the day, can possibly believe this.

Alternatively, try this sentence: "Communications and travel may have largely obviated the advantages of a married couple living together in one place to raise a family."

> Firefox needed something to put themselves back on the right side of public opinion. They appear to have found it. Initially, Mozilla released a prototype feature to Firefox 128 that was enabled by default. It was used to collect personal data for advertisers.

To read those sentences produce cognitive dissonance. Firefox users are absolutely against to the collection of personal data, especially if it's for advertisers.

I don’t want to do an apples to oranges comparison but that $5 value meal is good value for what it is.

If I go to a restaurant and order a steak they’ll charge me a preposterous amount for some subpar meat whereas if I pay 15% more I can get A5 Wagyu at a butcher’s. I get it - it’s not the same, but if their overhead is so severe then that restaurant has problems. Except, if every restaurant raised their prices then it points to a more systematic issue. Prices of just about everything have gone up significantly, for starters. Even getting raw ingredients in some cases does not mean you’ll save that much money.

So, again, good on McD to offer this. It’s reasonably priced.

> It used to be that you reach resource satiation quickly, but now it will take hours to [do so...]

I think this may actually be the most important point. It is also not true, but also is at the same time, I feel.

If "resource satiation" refers to the ability of the player to build/do whatever they want, then it is true. If "resource satiation" means "having enough resources", then for some people it is impossible by nature. There's always a temptation to do more and build more.

For me, I think this temptation was independent of the game itself. Looking back at my childhood, I don't feel like there was any sharp distinction between my creations in Minecraft and any of my other creative pursuits, including programming; it all sort of blended together. The game was less a game, more like yet another creative medium.

From the article:

> But they’ve said repeatedly that the astronauts are not stranded and that in the case of an emergency, they could fly home in Starliner. SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, which has been flying astronauts to the space station for NASA since 2020, could be used as a backup if necessary, NASA officials said.

So I guess that's somewhat a possibility?
The problem with incorrect emphasis on "will" in our culture is that it takes you to voluntarism. The will is the appetite of the intellect, oriented toward the good (real or apparent), and so one cannot just will anything, but rather, only of the things that the intellect first apprehends. (Of course, the will can also turn the intellect away from things we'd rather not know or have due awareness of, and this is the essence of the evil act; an act of self-blinding in order to move the will toward what we know we should not choose.) So freedom is in choosing or willing the good, what one ought, and for that, as the article notes by way of Augustine, we need the right habits, and this is what we call virtue. Here, the virtue of being able to choose the good is prudence. And since freedom classically understood is found in the ability to will the good, only a virtuous person is free. Compare this with the liberal (as in Hobbes, Locke, Mill) notion of freedom as the absence of external limitation. It becomes apparent what lunacy that is, as choosing anything but the good is, again to draw from Augustine, nothing short of the worst kind of slavery, a slavery to passions and vice. Thus, this modern notion of "authenticity" is, frankly, total bullshit, and a completely destructive notion at that.
> Is the price of an impossible (or, period-impossible) object a knowable quantity, economically speaking?

Yes. We estimate what someone in that world would pay for it. A satellite phone in a world without satellites, electricity or other satellite phones is at best a novelty. So we'd look to rates paid by kings and collectors for similar antiquities.

I don't remember the specific version (s) I played. I remember being kinda depressed and burned out.

Although I didn't discover them, water ladders and cart boosters were so much fun. That feeling of almost cheating, using the bugs in the system to do magic things was so much fun.

I'd definitely credit Minecraft for rekindling some love for hacking, in the classic, non crack sense, but, matrix like, bending the rules to do NEAT stuff.

Then mods, pipes and auto crafting, bigger stuff.

I remember when tool damage was introduced. I was annoyed, but it was ok. I think around the time of food/hunger it started losing its luster. grow potatoes or butcher cows and pigs. it was ok. But that's the time I started drifting away.

Max context of claude is a lot higher than 5 files when you use projects. However, the struggle i’ve found with projects is integrating changes rapidly. You end up reuploading files constantly.

Cursor.sh is a pretty good alternate but I find it a bit buggy at times. I think for me right now AI is great at:

- Quickly rolling an implementation of something in a completely unfamiliar API/language

- Debugging “conceptual” errors, where the problem is me not understanding something

- Playing “spot the typo”.

- Writing boilerplate you know must have already been done a million times.

It’s not so good at:

- Zero shot a conceptually elegant data schema or project structure

- Debugging obscure errors

- Debugging errors with misleading context provided by the user (aka, your hunch and supplied context is completely wrong and the AI gets confused as well)

He makes a good point about "secret" knowledge, but I don't think that's the real secret.

I believe almost everyone, including the author here, misunderstands what made Minecraft take off.

It was NOT just the fact that you have creative control (which is what most people mistakenly assume is the main point) or that you need to learn how to craft to advance, or the procedural generation. It was the _combination_ of all of those things _with_ a challenging environment and mechanics that _motivate_ you to explore those features!

Without exploring, crafting and building, you can't survive the dangerous creatures or you starve.

And people stupidly harp on the low-fidelity graphics without realizing how well Persson absolutely nailed the core requirements of game design and execution of his concept. The graphics were secondary to all of the other things I mentioned and it was very smart to simplify them, with so much new ground and working mainly alone at first.

Pulling off the procedural generation and motivating the creativity is what made this masterful. Those were difficult features to program all at the same time and it took a strong understanding of game design. Persson wasn't just lucky. He mastered programming and game design and created a novel experience.

WinForms is still probably my favorite UI framework. It's absolutely a blunt tool but by god can you swing it around. Incredibly flexible, reasonably easy to use, pretty fast, and ugly as all hell.

Hell, you can even throw arbitrary Objects at it and it will just work. You can nest PropertyGrids within PropertyGrids, extend them to collections of objects, build arbitrarily deep nests of controls. All without touching or even caring about the underlying structure of the objects your UI connects to (within limits).

WinForms is my platonic ideal of a UI framework. It's exactly how I would design things.

I think you're mixing the question of what creates great mathematics department and what makes a region generally interesting (plus the article actually answers all those questions well as other commenters note).

Germany has many great mathematicians at present. Just by expanding population and budgets, it probably has more great mathematicians than in the Göttingen days. These mathematicians are not as famous as the Göttingeners of the 1920s, however, fundamentally because earlier mathematicians laid the foundation of the field and later researchers basically have built on those foundations and can't claim the same glory.

As to post-war Germany being boring - I'd assume but it seem neither here nor there.

> Let's "up" the ante and make it two phones, using point-to-point ad-hoc voice connection to each other, with a battery life of a week

To make it truly interesting you'd have to add a geostationary relay satellite and e.g. solar recharging, to make the device useful for up to a lifetime. At this point, we have a military communications device of obvious value. (Presuming you get to a non-idiot.)

British GDP (the highest in the world under a single state) was about $10.7bn in 1700 in 1960 dollars PPP [1] or about $113bn today [2]. At its height, in the 16th century, Britain spent about 10% of its GDP on its military [2]. So the price for a working pair of satellite phones is reasonably capped around $11bn in today's money. Of course, having a pair of satellite phones and no military isn't helpful, so in practice we'd likely see a top price equal to no more than $1 to 2bn today.

At which point one asks what size army one could raise to steal your satellite phones with a fraction of that money.

> looking to move it all to svelte because react literally cannot handle the quantities of data

I have nothing against Svelte, but how much data are you showing on screen, exactly?

Here's an example table with 100,000 cells (100 rows * 1000 columns per row) that seems fine, from a common React UI kit: https://mui.com/x/react-data-grid/virtualization/#column-vir...

It seems fast on my computer normally (M2 Max), slow but usable when the CPU is throttled down 4x, and too slow after that. But that's a lot of cells.

Here's a performance comparison, btw:

Or filtered down to just Svelte vs some common React libs:
https://share.cleanshot.com/LlFXtNx9p6y4kMvqXgc7 (lower numbers are faster; React is generally just a little slower than Svelte, except when it's swapping 2 rows in a big table... then it's 8x slower)

Elixir's type system is still baking(can't define customs types yet), while Gleam's is ready here. Gleam has (familiar to many) battle-tested Hindley-Milner with great type inference, while Elixir's is a different (still sound) set-theoretic one.

But most importantly, Elixir is, and always will be, a gradually typed language. There will always be parts of it that will remain or encourage dynamic typing and that opens the door to ambiguity. In a statically typed language the compiler enforces type annotations and that is where Gleam shines.
