You've maliciously manipulated what I said. I said if $X/month allows you to earn 100x $X, then it is worth it. Early terminations fees have absolutely nothing to do with that. At. All. Sometimes, people go on extended periods of not having work. Creative fields are very ebb&flow drought/flood type of work. If you're a solo person, sometimes you get bogged down in the current project to the point you don't have time to hunt for the next project. When the current project ends, you could hit a dry spell for an expended time. At that point, I could see wanting to stop paying for the software you are not currently using.

However, back in the day, Photoshop was ~$1000 (using nice easy round number) for the full package. I think it was closer to $1500 for full, and $999 for upgrades, but that's too in the weeds. Updates were pretty much annually. So, you've got $1000/12 months = $83/month (but it was a lump sum payment only). Now, it's ~$60/month with much more frequent updates. If you paid the lump sum and then went on hiatus, you were still out that money.

People complain about forced to not be able to use their 10 year old version because that's all the features you need. Okay, sounds legit. However, good luck installing any 10 year old software on modern OSes. There are times were software has to be kept up to date with the OS. The 32bit to 64bit was a big one even if it was more than 10 years ago.

Again, I get trying to learn while not getting paid but needing to know it so you can have a chance to get paid. That's what I always told myself, that my using the pirated versions was for learning only. I never made any money from its use. Now, I get paid to use it, and I have a legit license. Pirating was much easier before the SaaS offerings, so I can appreciate that. For once, it pays to be old.
> The moment use is introduced, everything below becomes part of it. It is hard for me to express this, but use feels overloaded with its use-cases in real world.

Exactly! It's one of the rare ugly parts of Gleam, and I sincerely hope "use" doesn't catch on (it seems like many people find it inconsistent and won't use it anyway).
Interesting parallels to games today.

> It is bad design to put puzzles and situations into a game that require a player to die in order to learn what not to do next time.

I feel like this is not good advice anymore. Nowadays dying is more common in games and less intrusive. In some games it’s even canonical that the character is dying. It’s become less intrusive and thus more ok. Even for puzzles I think this is bad advice. Puzzles probably engage the player more when they’re solved right or solved wrong; vs when they’re either solved right or in limbo of not being solved yet. It encourages feedback on your solving path.

Not an expert, but taking these side by side...it seems reasonable to conclude that AMOC is (as that source states) one of several factors?

Iceland, e.g., is warmer than Alaska, and that might change. Northern Europe in general is warmer than the PNW, despite the North Atlantic being smaller (and thus less buffering) than the North Pacific.

Seems unreasonable to expect the UK to end up like Newfoundland, or Labrador, if the AMOC shuts off, but "colder" seems in the cards.

Of course, all of this is completely armchair on my part.
Yes, Gleam's "use" is similar to "with" in Koka and some other langs. It's really not the same "use" we are used to (pun intended).
The article says that there is no built in tutorial or guide, but that isn't true. For as long as I have played the game, there has been the basic prompts that tell you to cut down a tree and make a crafting table. Accessible from the inventory or crafting table are recipes for every single item you can craft with the materials you have found. That's all the guide you need, as the rest is sandbox. All the progression can be discovered and needs no guide, though people usually use guides anyways.

No, you (generally) pay income tax on the current value when you receive it, and then capital gains on any change in value.

Essentially, if I pay you £15k for some services, you pay income tax on that £15k. If I buy you a car for £15k, taxman still wants £15k. Same with equity.

How it can work is that you can be granted shares and pay the taxes at time of granting (which for a founder is zero), but might not be nice for an employee.

You can also give an employee options, and this can get complicated (single or double vest).

But in general, for any equity instrument in a stock plan, you get charged income tax at one stage, then capital gains at a later stage, and you can trade off when you want to trigger each. In this case, employer has gone for a model where income tax is deferred as late as possible.

My main feature is muscle memory. I've been using Adobe software since early/mid 90s. My brain just thinks Adobe. There are other things like using an AE project directly within Premiere without having to render the AE timeline. Switching back to AE, make tweaks, save, and flip back to Premiere to see those changes immediately. Same with PS and Illustrator assets.

At this point in time, for me to switch to a different system would hinder my performance in an edit bay drastically while trying to learn something new. I'm old now, so the time that I used to spend doing all of that extra stuff is now spent on adulting. I used to try to learn every new thing, but I never left my computer. Now, I just want to get the work done as quickly as possible so that I can go back to my non-work activities.

The first book club I organised focussed on "Introduction to Analytic Number Theory" by Apostol (1976). While the book excelled in rigour, some members, especially those without a strong mathematics background, found the constant alternation between theorems and proofs a bit too dry. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it. See <https://susam.net/journey-to-prime-number-theorem.html> for a related post.

For the current book club, I've chosen something more lightweight with a more relaxed writing style. Although I'm slightly concerned about the level of rigour in this new book, I'll be able to assess it better as we make more progress through the book.

Rudin is also on my mind. But maybe that's for a future series of book club meetings!

No, those things are substrates that carry information, not the information itself. And examining those substrates at a molecular level usually means looking beneath the level of complexity at which the information is encoded in the first place, and so not even seeing the information itself.

> Originally it's just about being able to show both really dark and really bright colors.

Sort of. The primary significance of HDR is the ability to specify absolute luminance.

Good quality SDR displays were already very bright and already had high native dynamic range (a large ratio between the brightest white and darkest black). The issue was that the media specifications did not control the brightness in any way. So a 1.0 luminance pixel was just whatever the brightest value the display could show (usually tuned by a brightness setting). And a 0.0 luminance pixel was just the minimum brightness the display could show (unfortunately, usually also affected by the brightness setting thanks to backlighting).

What HDR fundamentally changes is not the brightness of displays or their dynamic range (some HDR displays are worse than some older SDR displays when it comes to dynamic range), but the fact that HDR media has absolute luminance. This means that creators can now make highlights (stars, explosions) close to the peak brightness of a bright display, while diffuse whites are now dimmer.

Prior to HDR, a good bright display was just a calibrated display with its brightness incorrectly turned up too high, making everything bright. With HDR a good bright display is a display calibrated with correct brightness and the ability to show highlights and saturated colors with much more power than a normal white.

You're right about higher bit depths, though. Because HDR media describes a much wider dynamic range on a properly calibrated display (though not necessarily on a typical over-bright SDR display), it has a different gamma curve to allocate bits more appropriately, and is typically without any banding in only 10 or 12 bits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_quantizer

I never understood the appeal of having game knowledge on a separate websites.

I can understand this situation happening because of lack of development resources. Like - yeah, it's easier to just let the community to write the documentation and concentrate on the game, if you're small company.

But why would it appeal to the actual players? It's not really secret knowledge, there are wiki websites with all the recipes.

I'm not GP, but I've played a few adventure games and was very excited to try Monkey Island because of its sense of humor and style. But it felt basically unplayable to me (basically it felt like the only strategy was brute force), here's the puzzle that made me give up:

Give the jawbreaker to Blondebeard to loosen his gold tooth, then give him
the pack of gum. When he blows the bubble with the tooth in it, pop it with
the pin and the tooth will drop out. Get the gold tooth, then exit the shop.
(To get the gold tooth on Mega-monkey, chew the pack of gum to get the chewed
gum. Inhale from the helium balloon, use the gold tooth in the chewed gum and
then chew the tooth in gum. It will float out the window of the shop and land
in the mudpuddle outside. Use the pie pan in the mudpuddle to get the tooth).
Let me repeat what I think the question is in other words:

they're all components of the type; i have no idea what pypy does with "known bits" but deducing "range" of a value is firmly/unanimously as "type refinement" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refinement_type) i.e. still a part/aspect/dimension of the type not of the value.

Some very cool looking UI elements here, but I'm also wondering what the experiment was and what conclusions you drew from it.

On sheer number of interactive elements, my experience (Svelte 4) is that the rendering usually starts to cause problems before the interactivity, i.e. you run into performance problems at the same number of elements regardless of whether they're interactive. As you implemented for the some of these pages, the solution is to go to a canvas.

For other "wiki games", I would recommend Terraria and Stardew Valley. Both have very rich wikis you can read for hours that will give you a much better understanding of game mechanics. I've also gotten into the habit of keeping a txt file for a game open in vim with notes on what I'm working on or what to work on next time I play. For Stardew it's stuff like "Kent's birthday is coming up, give him x item", or "catch/grow this before season ends". A lot of it gets deleted as I finish it, but I've also been thinking I should maybe flesh out a basic skeleton of important things to do on a new run so that I can get a refresher if I don't play for a long time.

I think I plan less with Terraria than Stardew since the passing of time doesn't matter much at all comparatively, but I still consult the wiki constantly to see where to get an item or what a monster drops and so on. I've got over 1000 hours in Terraria, but some of this stuff is just a bit much to remember, plus it can change slightly from game updates.

Both games have a lot of informational YouTube videos as well. All the videos of beginner tips are what finally got Stardew to click for me after owning it for years but failing to get into it. I went from taking months or years away from the game within the first Spring to finally getting sucked in enough to finish the rest of my first year within a few weeks IRL time.

While some people probably think it's a chore to do all this work outside the game, I see it similarly to the author in the article, I think it enriches the experience. It also gives you a way to think about the game and get better at it while it's not even open. I don't like to open Stardew unless I'm prepared to play multiple hours in a row, but I can read the wiki and jot down some notes for a few minutes at any time.
