I don't think it would ever "work" for Minecraft to attempt something like one of the big mods. Even "Better Than Wolves" which most people have been exposed to via packs with a later, richer "Better With Mods" is sort of giving the game away. Yes, the things "Better Than Wolves" did are better than what Minecraft itself delivered in that timeframe (Wolves, duh) but often what Minecraft's devs are doing is fundamental, infrastructure work. Mojang and then Microsoft make two kinds of ore, and then add a third, boring - but modders couldn't have added six hundred more kinds of ore without that. The built-in biomes are fine but they're not as radical as anything modders have done - but modders couldn't have added new biomes without that infrastructure.

I think Mojang and Microsoft have been very good at sketching in new ideas, enriching the concept rather than refining all the details.

They've also been good, because it's easier for a corporation, at completion. Anybody still waiting for Jaded's Agrarian Skies 2 ? How about for a meaningful end to Twilight Forest ? Modern packs tend to play the non-ending of Twilight Forest as if that's normal - gating further progress on the Magic Lamp for example, or just putting everything after the Trolls as optional - but wandering around the final castle it's obvious this just isn't finished.

I play almost exclusively modded, mostly ascend-to-godhood type packs, and it's still very noticeable how different a modern pack is (based on modern Minecraft) than the 1.7 era packs we started out playing, because the base game is significantly better.
Kernel module/driver sandboxing, if it cannot be feature complete (I believe it can), should be optional, opt-out, and strongly recommended.

This is the kind of pessimistic take that gets a lot of traction on HN, but man does it not match my experience.

> Minecraft mods were how a lot of teenagers got acquainted with scripting, and it's a lot harder to get started with your own server since MS bought it and forced it to authenticate through Azure.

First off, the pivot from mods to running a server is sort of related, I guess? But it's not at all clear how your complaints about servers have any bearing on the modding, which is still very much there. The Minecraft Forge docs are better than ever [0], there are 3000+ mods on Curseforge already compatible with 1.21 and 5000+ compatible with 1.20. That a lot of kids have moved to other games has more to do with the ephemeral nature of childhood entertainment than it does with Microsoft stifling modding in any way.

Second, I'm not at all sure what you mean about servers being harder to set up. Here are the instructions for setting up a Minecraft server [1]. The instructions actually seem substantially shorter than I remember them being from back in the day, most of the bullet points are just explanations for various settings you could configure. (EDIT: Just to be sure I decided to try it myself and got a server running in just under 5 minutes. Obviously your average kid isn't going to be able to move that quickly in the terminal, but there was no authentication step.)

> It's nice that they've added a bunch of functionality, but the pessimistic view is that MS spent $1.6B to force the world's schoolchildren to make office.com logins.

Microsoft bought Minecraft in 2014, 3 years after it was officially released and 10 years before now. What you're offering is a very pessimistic view given that history, especially so given that it seems to be entirely based on a single account migration from bespoke Minecraft accounts to Microsoft accounts. You can be cynical about that all you want, but speaking is a developer in a company that currently has 3 account systems I'm going to venture that that move was exactly what they claimed it was: an effort to simplify things and increase security.

If you want to have modern C++ (for instance), you basically have to cross-compile. If only using C or older g++, I'd compile inside the Amiga, I think.

https://github.com/Slamy/m68k-elf-gcc - can generate bootable floppies!

https://github.com/bebbo/amiga-gcc - modern (gcc-13.2) C and C++ for cross-compiling from Mac/Linux/Windows. It even supports the post-Motorola 68080 Natami VHDL CPU extensions.
Even though I am not much of a Bitcoin fan, I still think Ross got a bad deal and his life sentence was a miscarriage of justice. 25 years should have been maximum and reasonable, comparable to past and recent sentencing from crimes of a similar type .

Totally this.

You had one PC connecting to the DSL box, having directly a public IP, and then if you were smart you would install a second network card in your computer with a crossover Ethernet cable connecting to the second computer.

Routers were super expensive, they came only later when internet was democratized more.

Same for switches. Most users were using Ethernet Hubs at that time.
>never really used

Are you saying they don't use it or do use it just not a great deal? I am fairly certain I first learned about pd back around the turn of the century from an interview with Autechre where they mentioned using it but I have no idea to what extent they used it. It might have been Max/MSP for the patches which often can be easily run in pd with some minor changes and sometimes works just fine without changes.

No, those things are where information and reality meet. When you smell something the molecule and the information "in" or "of" the molecule are not distinct. The meaning of the molecule is itself.

I'm trying to offer information to help you understand the original article, I'm not interested in arguing about it.

Being able to communicate between the "ego" and the molecular level of information means being able to e.g. smell a plant and know what medicine it is.

You can do plenty of other things good for your heart that is much less damaging to the rest of the body. Running is horrible for joints. Just walking at a brisk pace will get the heart pumping. If we want people to get more active, there are much better things to suggest that go for a run. I ran long distance all through school, and refuse to run for running's sake. Playing soccer is the only running I will do, but at least there's a purpose. Walking, swimming, riding a bike, spin class, whatever are much easier suggestions for couch potatoes to start with
My knowledge of endocrinology is pretty weak, but I feel like given what we know about human variation in general (and, perhaps, the very existence of type 2 diabetes in people with healthy lifestyles), it should pretty much be the null hypothesis that some fraction of the population has a generally lower/deficient baseline of GLP-1 function and might therefore see a broad range of benefits from GLP-1 agonists, in the same way that conditions like hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, Addison's disease, etc. are a thing.

I also wouldn't be surprised if we find out that there's an opposite end of the spectrum associated with anorexia/orthorexia. I don't have a citation, but I've seen mentions that there are already anecdotal reports of people discontinuing GLP-1 agonists because they were emotionally disturbed by the fact that it made them "hate" food.
>I dunno if you were alive at the time but that's not really what happened.

I was pretty alive at the time, I was an intern on the iPhone team at Apple when it launched and the run-up, so I was using the first gen phone/touch all day every day, and I was paying pretty close attention to its launch (but just watching what was said in the press/by the people I knew, nothing privileged on the sales side). Looking around at sales figures, it looks like the first gen sold low single digit million units total, 1.4M in 2007. The 3G sold 1M on the first weekend (the press release tagline was "Twice as Fast at Half the Price", and that lower price is a big part of what brought it mainstream). Now they’re up to a couple hundred million phones per year.

I wouldn't say it was a "miss", it was very good compared to the status quo trash on the market, but it also wasn't the company defining success it turned into until the following gens, it made much less revenue than Macs at the time, and the Mac was pretty niche. My point was that it took a bit to really dial it in, and Apples first gen products don’t usually reflect their eventual success very well.

I don’t think Vision Pro is at 1M sold yet, and Apple products definitely have more sales reach now, but again, I wouldn’t count it out. I was pretty impressed when I tried it, they really nailed a lot of the hard technical problems, especially around text rendering, and if it was 1/3 the cost, I’d definitely have one now, maybe at 1/2. Which means that unless they really dilute the capabilities or drop the cost less than I expect, I’ll probably have one within the next couple of iterations (I'm also assuming they'll sub out the metal for cheaper/lighter materials to improve long-term comfort). But yeah, maybe it’ll end up being a modern day Newton, we’ll see.

Man I love this first paragraph. Love it.

“Quantitative analysis of social data has an alluring exactness to it. It allows us to estimate the average number of minutes of YouTube videos watched to the millisecond, and in doing so it gives us the aura of true scientists. But the advantage of quantitative analyses lies not in the ability to derive precise three-decimal point estimates; rather, quantitative methods shine because they allow us to communicate methodological goals, assumptions, and results in a (hopefully) common, compact, and precise mathematical language. It is this language that helps clarify exactly what researchers are doing with their data and why.”

A lot of industry “data science” is moronic, which is to say not clear about assumptions or about what is and isn’t possible with the estimates. Leading case: Models are treated as causal when they are not. Antidotes to that kind of thinking are great. Hopefully this can be one of them. I’ll keep looking at it.
That nitpick over car/house analogies is rapidly breaking down as cars have increased compute and storage themselves, and integrate with other personal electronics, most especially "smart" phones.

I can't even imagine what it's like now, but Roblox is how I first learned programming when I was 11. This was well over a decade ago.

Roblox (talking in past tense; not sure how much of this is still true) allowed you to create "Places", which were basically 3D interactive universes that consisted of a few primitive parts (rect. prisms, cylinders, etc.) arranged and connected to each other, as larger solid objects, or with hinges. It was, in other words, a multi-player physics sanbox. Also, the use of the word "place" instead of "game" is interesting to note; as a child, it felt like they could really be anything, with no particular expectations.

I don't remember when Lua scripting was added - I think it was around 2008-2009 or somethng - but it allowed you to perform simple event-based programming, registering clicks/deaths/collisions/etc and manipulating the game world. As a child I saw this as a form of magic. What would otherwise be a physics sandbox with inanimate objects interacting in a strictly mechanistic fashion became one in which anything could happen. You know, magic. Maybe that sounds stupid, but that was my thinking.

So I became a programmer because I wanted to be a wizard. I am still pursuing this goal. Also, RIP Erik Cassel. His tutorials were one of my first - if not my first - introduction to programming ever. He died too soon.

Lost? Nothing has been deprecated, Java edition is still supported and kept in feature parity with Bedrock aka MS Edition. Yes, Bedrock is not mod friendly like Java, but the modding community hasn't stopped.

And yes they moved the license server from a Mojang server to the MS login system, but what is the real difference here? You still have to login, you just don't like MS for unrelated reasons.

What makes it poisonous? Like how can the government let poison be sold isn’t that bad or do they pay the FDA off or something
Instead of using Ukraine to give Russia a bloody nose we should have again fermented divisions between Russia and China.

Your reading of what's driving Western support for Ukraine is completely wrong here. They're not simply doing it to "give Russia a bloody nose" for its own sake. They certainly don't mind if that's what Russia gets out of it. But that's not the key objective in itself.

On the flip side: "fermenting divisions between Russia and China" is just fantasy, as at the moment U.S. is really quite inept in regard to such influence. It has no clue how to do that effectively (and any efforts it did take in that direction would most likely be moot and/or backfire).

I should note that I lament the cost of these conflicts to human lives on both sides and wish smarter populations governed by astute politicians would have found ways to successfully avoid war, perhaps at the cost of a multipolar world which we’re likely to get anyway.

Okay, multipolar world, whatever.

But what it really comes down to is this: the only way to have "avoided war" (after 2014) would have been to simply give Russia what it wanted -- recognized sovereignty over significant chunks of territory (most likely at least as much as it's sitting on now), combined with permanent limits on Ukraine's own sovereignty (in terms of its ability to enter treaties).

If you think this would have been (or still would be) an astute course of action -- you might as well come out an say so.
weight loss drugs should also mean smaller meals.
You are seeing a creation date bias. And it doesn't help that there just aren't that many systems programming languages.

Until Rust in 2010, there basically was almost no motion in the "system programming space". Even afterward, there needs to be enough uptake to actually have critical mass. Only then can people start using it for projects.

Side note: D actually predates a lot of this by being from 2001, but, sadly, never seemed to get any traction. It seems like it had the misfortune of being about 10 years too early and that programmers just weren't ready for a new systems programming language at that point.

Pre-cable modem era, the dialup networking "adapter" in Windows 95 was bound to "File and Print Sharing". People who had both a LAN and a modem could inadvertently "share" with the Internet.

I may or may not know something about sending print jobs that said "FEED ME CHEESE" in Figlet to inadvertantly shared printers and waiting for pings to stop coming back.
Yes. I've had a new install compromised immediately after first boot. This was over a poorly configured cable internet service. I could also see and connect to other computers in the neighborhood and had full access to shared resources.

I did it to prove a point. ISP techs didn't believe it could happen. Yes, they were that bad.

However, this was done at the time when every other machine everywhere was compromised in some way and sputtering out malware all the time.

I have no idea what the results would be like today, but I suspect it would be far less dramatic because the exploits for XP have more than likely been offline for a long time.

For anyone wanting to re-experience the beta-like nature of the original Minecraft, I suggest minetest. There are quite a few game modes, but the one that I tend to like the most is called MineClonia, since it fairly closely follows the general shape of Minecraft gameplay (as one might expect). The devs are very responsive and it's very easy to hack on and mod (as it uses Lua).
> ...rich countries, which have ageing populations, will need more workers who are young and keen to work. This is because few politicians are talking about measures such as drastically raising the retirement age or how to make health care much more efficient.

And

> Crucially, the new arrivals often work in unglamorous, poorly paid but nonetheless vital industries, including construction and health care.

Which is why the article also says:

> Some anti-immigration measures, especially large-scale deportations, could prove immensely damaging to economies.
>Regulation usually gets trotted out after the downside of doing [new innovation] is experienced. This always happens, because doing something new always involves unknown risk.

I would challenge "unknown"-- it very well seems like the risks have been known every time, they just don't give a shit

>What's different now though, is the hysteria over AI is leading regulators to pass this incumbent-cementing regulation before we've even had a chance to experience ...

Sounds good to me? It's sociopathic and opportunistic to want to risk major socioeconomic issues for the mere chance of a corporate "innovation"
Chester W. Nimitz

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz
I would say there are different "ground truths". For engineers, this is computer science theory, and for business, it's what makes sense from a market perspective and what's best for the customers. This is why having engineers worry about customer needs is a huge mistake, at least in my opinion, because it takes away from engineers focusing on what they do best.

The solution could be something like creating two distinct domains, and then bridging the gap. You would have the engineering domain, in which abstractions follow information theory, and then you would have the business domain, which follows whatever the business wants. Then you would need some kind of bridge, whether it's teams or roles in each team, that translate and mediate back and forth. This way the business can ask for XYZ feature, the bridge teams or roles would then consult with engineers how to break these up, and then engineers would implement it. Additionally, engineers would have complete ownership over their domain.

I think the reason it doesn't work that way, is because the business side wants complete transparency over engineers, which constrains them for no reason. I also think these constrains are impacting the business value in the long run because software isn't being used to its full potential.
I don't think you intend it, but your explanations read as pushing culpability to the end user. Running Chrome, webpack, and Docker at the same time will get me to maximum load. Am I at fault for that?

The YouTube channel Moore's Law is Dead has info from Intel leakers (grain of salt) that the ring bus is most sensitive to overvoltage and is what's failing. In addition, the leakers say that with Intel's poor earnings they've been under pressure to ship higher margin parts (like a 14900K over a 14700K), and that they've been relaxing the binning standards to ship chips that barely meet the standard as 14900Ks. This is one of reasons 900K parts seem to be most affected.

In the channel's analysis, this overbinning exacerbates the failure rate as more cores require more power/voltage delivered to the common power rail the ring bus shares. This is why disabling E cores seems to help stability. This also leads him to conclude that if ring bus failure is on this knife's edge, then those who haven't experienced it likely have golden samples that fully meet the binning standards.

All of this is to say: damage has little to do with the workload you've run, and everything to do with your silicon lottery luck on the chip you got.
That's a really good analogy that the longest rollercoaster is 4 minutes. You're absolutely right that a months long interview process would suck. Fortunately, that wasn't what happened. I've added an amendment to the story to clarify, take a look!
