I fondly remember playing flash games on newgrounds and such. As a user, flash allowed for things that are simply impossible now with javascript. By things here I mean "people whose skill is primary in art being able to create cool and great things".

None of that emerged again when flash got killed and the reason is technological - comparatively current technologies sux for those people.
Wow, I read your comment, and the response, then read it again, and I still thought you were intending to be offensive that the author was so bad they couldn't possibly collaborate with people.

China can not achieve a cultural victory. They are exporting their form of government, but Chinese culture is still a mystery in the west to this day, unlike, say, Japan or Korea. Can you name one Chinese pop star or movie star? Other than the Hong Kong ones, I can’t.

Peer Gynt quilt, Part 1 (2021)
Not a JS dev, but I think proper reactive JS shouldn't do that.
In sticking to vanilla HTML/CSS/Javascript for my hobby projects over the past ten years, I've come to enjoy writing "simple" code with minimal dependencies and bare-bones interfaces. I believe that the skills I've learned in doing so has benefited me many times since then, especially during the times when I needed a specific tool, ASAP, for my job as a biomedical researcher. Without having the need to look up documentation, tease apart the workings of frameworks, I've been able to make hyper-specific web based guis for image labeling and more, sometimes quicker and better than the programmers hired for these jobs, who would otherwise need constant communication and supervision to ensure that the correct thing is built.
I would take surveys with a large serving of salt. By their own admission, the American survey only concerned a selection of 3,600 by phone call, and those who refused to answer are not counted in the results. That's not going to create a reasonable representation, because for starters most people these days fucking hate junk calls.

Also of note in that survey is that the anti-China sentiment is heavily biased towards older conservatives. That means the current and coming younger, more progressive generations are more pro-China, relatively speaking.

This is China's investment into soft power blossoming in spades.

As for the country survey, have a closer look at that breakdown: The west, to include Japan and South Korea, are anti-China as a collective. Most of the rest of the world is at worst neutral and at best pro-China; South and Central America is almost entirely pro-China including Mexico, the US's immediate neighbour to the south.

Also, despite Indians' claimed anti-Chinese sentiment, India is also one of, if not the, China's biggest strategic ally if not necessarily a friend.

Again, China's investment into soft power blossoming in spades.

While the efficacy of American anti-Chinese propaganda is certainly debatable, it's clear the US and the west at large are losing the econo-cultural fight and need to respond somehow.
Agreed. In my case I enjoyed Vampire Survivors on iOS and my way of playing was 75% figuring out things on my own and 25% using the wiki.

The wiki-friendly community was a big plus to me, it let me adjust my gaming experience to what I felt comfortable. Without that it's likely that I would consider the game too difficult and I'd stop playing. As it is now, I completed the game and I recommend it to others (available on other platforms and Apple Arcade too).
Lol. How would that work exactly?
The problem is that two different systems collide (in the example of Terraria). Having an open world game and a learning curve for the things the user needs to understand to progress. Looking up informations in a wiki most often happens when the game gets boring or overly complex for the player to have fun (check Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's flow theory on that).

Games that do that well, such as Zelda (which does this very well) introduce new mechanics and scenarios in an very iterative way. By having a linear structure. Other games use AI to control the gameplay flow.

A linear level structure could look like this: A & B are different types of enemies

| A (new enemy) | A,A (more complex situation) | B (new enemy) | B,B (more complex situation) | A,B (new combination) | A,A,B,B (complex new combination) | ...

This method works with lots of systems, such as level design elements, enemies or construction of ingame elements. The problem is that procedural content generation and open worlds make it hard for the game designer to introduce the content to the player in this order.

This is flagrant with the EU raising import tariffs on Chinese EV.

There is a lot of communication about the climate transition and how electric stuff is needed to save the world, but when cheap options are available from China it's a big no no because it goes against European manufacturers interests.
Yeah this statement absolutely does not apply to me and I like that one of the answer point that the use of a wiki might be a failure from the game.

Good example for this is the Witcher 3 ending. One of the ending which I would consider the most favorable is almost an easter egg and rely on specific answer in barely related dialogs.
Easter egg are nice but don’t put the ending I’m most interested in behind some "choice" I made ...
I’d assume that drilling a tunnel under a mountain would be significantly cheaper than digging one in a densely inhabited city (in a seismically active area).
Fibonacci himself, who popularised their use, explicitly mentioned that they were from India. Somehow this was muddied in later secondary sources.

Classic "with us or against us" mentality. I will remind you that nowhere in my comment I suggested to get in bed with Putin or Jinping. I am just saying we should probably not get too deeply involved with US either, though still being close friends with them.

As another poster already said, most old manuscripts were not written on paper, but on vellum or another kind of parchment (i.e. on leather), which has a very different chemical behavior from paper.

Paper was first used in Europe in the 11th century, by the Arabs. It has spread slowly during the next centuries, but it became really important only about the same time with printing.
I would suggest you add some screenshots and a better explanation about the actual app usage on the landing page, I had to go to the Play Store to see some screenshots before downloading the app.
This is useful only in some cases when it's better to keep some of the old stuff. It doesn't make sense to convert a post-2000 car: it would be very inefficient regarding the space use (too much stuff already in, no place for large enough battery, ...), the electricity consumption (those cars have a lot of electronics/ACs not optimised for batteries), and price wise (most of those cars don't cost much today).

It would be much more efficient to create cheap/light EVs: today's focus is mostly on expensive/large EVs with a huge lot of accessories/screens/... because that's where the money is for regular car brands. But if one make could build something like a Willys Jeep EV, or a least something like an early-90s small car that didn't have all of todays gadgets (Renault Twingo, Mini, Volkswagen Coccinelle, ...), they would be much more useful for those markets.

Another problem is still electricity grid: in a lot of countries, it's not up-to a large scale EV deployment.
The article is about significant changes in the capabilities of companies to do the things you say they want to do, with more information and at a finer degree and much faster pace than before. It’s the linked PDF on the site, if you want more than the intro on the page.
I doubt this is economically feasible in high-wage countries (like Germany). Yes, EVs are expensive, but having a car completely transformed (plus certifcations and the cost of the transformation kit itself) will be even more expensive.
>The vast majority of games should never, ever be designed under the assumption that the player has access to Google

Yet in the 90s/2000s we had games coming with full manual books with all the info printed, an offline wiki.

USPS' long-awaited new mail truck makes its debut
In short, the Voyager spacecraft were designed (after considerable design and operational experience from Mariner and Pioneer spacecraft) to be able to operate for a long time largely automatically without too much hand-holding. All major systems are multiply redundant and may be remotely turned on and off. While there has been personnel turnover on the program, it has not been of a magnitude to jeopardize program continuation. Finally, program management has been media savvy and well politically connected ensuring that operations are still funded. (Contrast with other missions such as Magellan to Venus which was deorbited while it still had propellant reserve leaving some portions of the planet unmapped)

JPL has (or had?) a "retiree badge" program that permitted retired staff to continue to access their office. Many programs benefited from highly knowledgeable personnel essentially continuing to report to the office every day without pay (not being paid comes with the luxury of not having to worry about being laid off if your charge accounts don’t have enough funds!) It was an absolute privilege to learn from these people.
Some of my family were stock farmers in Australia and talked about 10, 5, 3 and 2 chain roads a bit too when talking about driving routes between places in rural and forested regions. You’d know the (maybe abandoned or ruined versus still existing small settlement) destination - by the description of the width of the roads getting there.

I’m not sure how much of this was connected to what seemed to be a multi-generational familial problem recalling proper nouns.

As someone who didn’t grow up there it was a bit different to what I was used to - named roads or road numbers, named settlements or geographic identifiers.

A lot of games are also ruined by this handhelding style of design where 20 hours in you are still seeing tutorials
For me, I run to wikis most often to get numbers. It's frustrating how far some games go to hide exactly how much faster an upgrade will make you, or what the fuck a status effect means. Dead by Daylight had this problem for a long time until they finally put numbers in perk descriptions. Risk of Rain 2 half implemented a good solution- tooltip style descriptions when you hover over items or terms, but it's not applied universally or more confusingly, not on the status effect icons that appear in a run.
What one has to figure out is where this pattern developed (most likely childhood). Once I can internalize why my emotions develop I experience a distance from the current situation. The distance removes the emotional reaction leaving me with an intellectual understanding.

There’s a point where critical thinking skills come into play, I’ve seen people walked off the premises for doing stuff like this with customer data. Actual seniors who have never been blamed for anything are suddenly intolerable threats to the company because they didn’t bother to check what they were doing and forced the company to disclose a breach.

Show HN: E2E Type-Safe ORM from Database to API and UI Instantly
Hey there. We built the ZenStack open-source TypeScript toolkit on top of Prisma ORM. It adds an Authorization layer to the schema and then automatically generates both APIs and frontend hooks for you. You can choose whatever frontend framework, like React, Vue, or Svelte, and the full-stack framework, such as Next.js, Remix, Sveltekit, and Nuxt, to work with.

The generated hooks mirror the Prisma client, providing type-safe frontend queries similar to GraphQL and ensuring a consistent coding experience across both the front end and backend.

We hope it can fill some of the gaps left by the absence of frameworks like Rails or Laravel in the JavaScript world.

> Europe has plenty of its own propaganda to spread. Aren't you busy locking up indigenous people for years for saying mean facts on the internet?

Ignoring primitive racist aspects of the comments, no Europe as a whole (but lets say EU, Switzerland nor Norway don't care about this at all) doesn't have any force to speak of it can project, any clear plans for any military nor economical expansion of its influence outside its boundaries.

In contrary, we are currently weak (and eventually will get steamrolled by powerplayers from the east), undecisive, busy destroying some of the powerhouses of our economies like car industry. Germany is still terrified to the core for the sins of their grandfathers so would prefer half of Europe burning than do a nanometer aggressive move, and its the strongest voice on whole bloc - just look at how little they are actually helping Ukraine and how effectively they block any bigger attempts of other states. Heck they are trying to circumvent 2% GDP yearly NATO requirement to include highways maintenance costs in it, thus Wehrmacht is a joke - ie Polish army would steamroll them all any day, poles took a hard lesson from russian atrocities done on them in the past and finance army correspondingly.

Its sad to watch it, German population deserves much better leadership since competence is there. Not even digging into other big states like France with its own big issues, but at least they don't neglect military and are the only ones with nukes.

At a former company we once had an away day workshop where they allowed anonymous questions for the company director which would show up on a screen for everyone (it was a ~40-50 person company).

We were a management consultancy and trialling what they thought was cool new tech to use with other companies. ( This was a while ago, smart phones were newer and apps were still "cool" )

Well, they very quickly learned to never do that again. Even in a small company there were a lot of tensions unresolved between the lowest and highest rungs. It was a fairly formal hierarchical structure where the common worker didn't tend to ever interact with the big boss.

"Where's the pay rise we were promised last year?" was perhaps the mildest of the embarrassment, and it quickly devolved from there.
a) system doesn't let you modify the state of the running process so it doesn't attract abuse like the example here. It's still a bad function but calling it effectively the same is absurd - the scope for "clever" usage of it is much much lower.

b) It's a legacy misfeature that I hope new compiled languages don't copy. There are much much better better interfaces for running processes that don't rely on an intermediate shell.

c) Shell escaping is much more stable than some hipster language like PHP where you'd need to update your escaping for new language changes all the time.
This is really cool, but I wonder why the UK rail (commuter or long distance) network isn't shown very completely. There are _lots_ more trains around Birmingham or up north that don't get displayed. Even the network in the SE is very partial. Is this data really not in OSM?
I hate to admit it, but the Reddit, HackerNews, and Lobsters folks were right.

There two new front end guys in the team, understaffed backend, but manageable, nothing as dramatic, but I constantly have to remind the benefits of doing as much things as possible in the backend and keep the logics high level on the front is aggravating.

Linear, symmetric, self-selecting 14-bit molecular memristors (2023)
Water runs downhill. Players will max out convenience. The only way is to make the ingame info easier to access, more convenient and complete than any 3rd party.

E.g to beat a youtube video that shows you how to complete a quest, you can have a ghost of your character frontrunning the player and doing exactly what needs to be done.

Most gamedesigners abhore even the thought of adding such a thing as they want players to explore and discover. And some will, but the majority that pay your bills will just use youtube or wikis or addons to just tell them what to do.
Of course "everything" is a bit exaggerated, but i also doubt this dollar increase will give a lot of people the huge benefit that it is portrayed as.
The agent plans steps for acquiring data from the user's wordpress required for providing troubleshooting steps relevant to the user. It cannot take actions. For for e.g. if it says webpage is running slow it can get page speed insights + read the current page content / images to suggest steps for user.
How could it possibly be (a better solution) when there are X different ways to do any single thing in html(/css/js)? If you have a website that uses a canvas to showcase the content (think presentation or something like that), where would you even start? People are still discussing whether the semantic web is important; not every page is utf8 encoded, etc. IMHO small LLMS (trained specifically for this) combined with some other (more predictable) techniques are the best solution we are going to get.

Instead of stating more or less irrelevant reasons, I'd prefer to read something like "I am (have been?) one of the core maintainers and know Illumos and Bhyve, so even if there would be 'objectively' better choices, our familiarity with the OS and hypervisor trump that". A "I like $A, always use $A and have experience using $A" is almost always a better argument than "$A is better than $B because $BLA", because that doesn't tell me anything about the depth of knowledge of using $A and $B or the knowledge of the subject of decision - there is a reason half of Google's results is some kind of "comparison" spam.
