I’ve done both. I cheated my way through a single player game following a walkthrough all the way from start to finish. Only at the end did I realize that this took away a lot of the fun from the game.

But I’ve also used a wiki to find crafting recipes for Minecraft back when I started playing. Looking up crafting recipes helped me find out what things I could craft. And it didn’t remove any of the joy I got out of playing Minecraft at all.

And then there are other cases where I’ve looked at walkthroughs again but learning from my mistake I make a point of only looking when I’m really really stuck, and to only read as little as possible to get unstuck.

So my opinion is yes it’s perfectly possible to ruin a good game for yourself by looking up info online. But if you learn from doing that to yourself you’ll probably learn to only use it when you really need it. And then the game remains fun to play.

that seems like a business issue. i.e. was there much (if any) that one could do technically in flash that one can't do today cross browser using web standards.

If flash was no more capable than what a browser can do with web standards, its a tooling problem for the people who "skill is primary art being able to create cool and great things".

Then the question becomes, why hasn't anyone created tooling on par with what existed for "flash developers" that instead of generating actionscript to be executed by the flash plugin, generated javascript, webassembly, interaction with canvas elements and webgpu. Is it simply because no one sees real business opportunities there? (/ if there is a real growable business opportunities, then why is no one pursuing it?)

If that's the case, then yes, we lost something with the move away from flash (i.e. the inability to use all investment in said legacy tooling that worked, but can no longer generate usable things), but one can also view that as the reason for wanting web standards.

When one is using tools that generate things to web standards, it doesn't matter if those tools become "legacy", if they still work for you, there's a stronger likelihood that they will continue to generate an output into the future that is usable as they are not dependent on a proprietary system to run them, even if the "business opportunity" for the developer of the tools evaporates and they no longer desire to invest in them.
This is unfortunately problematic in places where the grid is transitioning to solar power. It really depends on what the makeup of your base load is.
I’m very excited that yes indeed we have the four major pillars in Rails 8, which is releasing soon, but can be used now via the main branch. The default, out-of-the-box experience with Rails 8 will go all in on SQLite, a database will be the only dependency, and you will have a production-ready app with jobs, cache, web sockets, and a primary database ready from `rails new`. I’ll be talking more about this all at Rails World in a couple weeks and that talk will be on YouTube sometime after that. But exciting times are ahead for Rails, for sure.
My advice for side projects, ship something the same day. Avoid leaving it in a broken state everytime you work on it.

This both helps keep the feature creep and complexity down, and makes sure you always have a running demo to show or play with.

Side projects should be all fun, if they are not, its not a side project its a second job.
But everyone at Oxide already knows that back story. At least if you list some other reasons list you can have a discussion about technical merits if you want to.

MinIO has taken (and still is taking) contributions without CLA, so they likely don't even have the ability to sell license exceptions.

That's hiring a pen tester, and there is a market for it, but companies don't do it as much as they should because it costs money while the app already "works" and brings in revenue. Of the 3 I've worked at, only one had yearly pen tests done.
This is my perspective as well. You certainly can horizontally scale with SQLite, but I strongly recommend that you vertically until you hit an actual limit there. If you know you will absolutely need multiple app nodes on day 1 or day 10, I think you will probably be better served by choosing a client/server database like MySQL or PG instead.

So, you aren’t limited to single machine, but you should stay single machine as long as possible and extract as much value from that operational simplicity before you trade that simplicity for some kind of horizontal scale

You're right, I've always misinterpreted the word, it's more neutral than I thought!

It comes from the Latin stolidus: “inert, dull, stupid”. So it's a strange case of a word with initially negative connotations that becomes somewhat neutral. Although Oxford Languages (Google's source) lists also "bovine", "lethargic", "torpid" and "stupid" as similar words, after "impassive", "unemotional" and "calm".

> I don't see how recognizing an emotion as irrational gives you certainty of calming it

When you realize it's an irrational reaction you automatically reprocess the stimuli and get a rational reaction.

Let's say someone close to you is unusually quiet and short with you. You irrationally think they are mad at you or ignoring you because they are being short. That makes you feel mad because you didn't do anything to them! Upon receiving the feeling you start rationalizing the response and realize that you have no evidence that they are mad at you and there are many times you don't want to talk. You then simply ask them if anything's wrong and they say they have a headache! Whew, it wasn't about you at all, it was just a headache! You then empathize with them and want to help so you ask if you can get them some advil and know not to be loud or talk too much until they start feeling better (acting normally)

> Generally speaking, emotions don't arise from a conveniently rational level of consciousness.

What makes you say that? Emotions commonly arise from rational thought. There are rational reasons to be mad/happy/sad/etc.

But what I'm suggesting though is the opposite, to make it a habit upon receiving every powerful emotional to verify it with rational thought.
Ireland fought against this decision because it's a short term win, but potentially a massive long term loss.
You entirely base your opinion about what you know the game CAN LOOK LIKE.

If you don't have an expectation of Terraria, you don't know the depth and therefore play the game as it is.

The only thing that is harming your fun is knowing how it could be by watching videos, streams whatever.

Saying "it is impossible to play without a wiki" is entirely self inflicted by wrong expectation management. Of course people want shortcuts but a person without internet access wouldn't call Terraria unplayable without a wiki.

Runpod charges $3.49/hr for an H100 SXM, which is fairly cheap as far as on-demand H100s go. A v5p TPU is $4.20/hr, but has 95GB RAM instead of 80GB on the H100 — so you'll need fewer TPUs to get the same amount of RAM.

Runpod is ever-so-slightly cheaper than Google TPUs on-demand on a per-GB basis: about 4.3 cents an hour per GB for Runpod vs 4.4 cents an hour per GB for a TPU. But let's look at how they compare with reserved pricing. Runpod is $2.79/hr with a 3-month commitment (the longest commitment period they offer), whereas Google offers v5p TPUs for $2.94/hr for a 1-year commitment (the shortest period they offer; and to be honest, you probably don't want to make 3-year commitments in this space, since there are large perf gains in successive generations).

If you're willing to do reserved capacity, Google is cheaper than Runpod per GB of RAM you need to run training or inference: Runpod is about 3.4 cents per GB per hour vs Google for about 3.09 cents per GB per hour. Additionally, Google presumably has a lot more TPU capacity than Runpod has GPU capacity, and doing multi-node training is a pain with GPUs and less so with TPUs.

Another cheap option to benchmark against is Lambda Labs. Now, Lambda is pretty slow to boot, and considerably more annoying to work with (e.g. they only offer preconfigured VMs, so you'll need to do some kind of management on top of them). They offer H100s for $2.99/hr "on-demand" (although in my experience, prepare to wait 20+ minutes for the machines to boot); if cold boot times don't matter to you, they're even better than Runpod if you need large machines (they only offer 8xH100 nodes, though: nothing smaller). For a 1-year commit, they'll drop prices to $2.49/hr... Which is still more expensive on a per-GB basis than TPUs — 3.11 cents per GB per hour vs 3.09 cents per GB per hour — and again I'd trust Google's TPU capacity more than Lambda's H100 capacity.

It's not dramatically cheaper than the cheapest GPU options available, but it is cheaper if you're working with reserved capacity — and probably more reliably available in large quantities.

I partly agree with you because Europe is not a monolith. The countries that decided to depend on Russia most weren't its direct neighbors. Basically all countries that share the border with Russia warned the rest that Putin can't be trusted. But all in, he managed to somehow deceive everybody, including the USA, into thinking that although it's an authoritarian state, it's somewhat civilized and we can do business with them.

So with Russia, we're past that rude awakening moment. With China, it hasn't happened yet.

> If anything, something not being in a try-catch block says that it will be handled higher up

I don't think you get what I'm saying. Some functions will always succeed. Some functions fail in obvious ways. Some functions fail in non-obvious ways. How do you know, as you're scanning a long block of code, which operations may fail, and which will always succeed?

For instance, suppose you have code like the following:

// Decode they key JsonKeyGuids as type []Guid
guids := JsonGetKey[[]Guid](&ru[i].Json, JsonKeyGuids)

Without looking at the function signature: If the key in the structure doesn't exist, what happens -- does it throw an exception, or return an empty value? Is it possible for JsonGetKey to fail to parse?

And while checked exceptions might help, it's not perfect: Suppose your code block calls functions a(), b(), and c(); all of them return ErrParseFail, but while it's pretty obvious that a() or c() might fail that way, it's not at all obvious that b() would.

Secondly, even for operations that are obvious may fail: maybe you, as a senior programmer who has programmed with exceptions for years, are paranoid enough that you're always thinking in the back of your mind "what happens if this fails?" But I very much doubt a junior programmer is going to have that habit. Part of the intent of Go was to have a language for Google which would allow junior programmers could come to a previously unfamiliar bit of code and be reasonably effective very quickly.

> And what is clearer in terms of error handling — if err being every third line, with questionable handling logic, e.g. just printing or swallowing stuff (or gestures at the article), and definite human error from repetition

You'd almost never just print the result of error messages unless it's at the top level, or it's the equivalent of a script. In most cases, you bubble it up, often wrapping it with a message of what you were trying to do; e.g.:

return nil, fmt.Errorf("trying to excluded guid list for %v: %w", ru[i].Id, err)

That way at the top level (or wherever you do log the message), you have a stack not just of the function names and line numbers, but what the program was actually trying to do, potentially with specific values involved.

Not having the equivalent of C's "must_check" is certainly a missing guard-rail in golang

> And what is clearer in terms of error handling...

It comes down to a judgement call. I think Golang's way is better. Yes, it makes the code look cluttered with exit paths, but that's because the code is cluttered with exit paths.

I can see that with experience, an exception-based developer would learn to see the implicit exit paths in most cases. So let me assert to you, that with experience, a check-the-return-values based developer also learns to filter out the explicit error paths to see the "happy path" algorithm clearly. But on the whole, I think the latter is likely to lead to fewer bugs, particularly for less experienced developers, but even for more experienced developers.

At any rate, now you've heard arguments for Go's error handling idiom; and if you don't agree, at least you can understand where the Golang crowd are coming from.
But that doesn't make sense if you have specialists for $A that also like to work with $A.
Why should I as a customer trust Illumos/Bhye developers that are using Linux/KVM instead of "real" Linux/KVM developers? The only thing that such a decision would tell me is to not even think about using Illumos or Bhyve.

The difference between

"Buy our Illumos/Bhye solution! Why? I have been an Illumos/Bhyve Maintainer!"

and

"Buy our Linux/KVM solution! Why? I have been an Illumos/Bhyve Maintainer!"

You don't get these folks - they don't want just any housing. They want central big house, very close to FAANG work, school, but around a lot of nature too, for peanuts of course because 'hey in 50s one man could finance whole family' or similar extreme case taken out of proportions.

That literally everybody else wants it and thus its priced accordingly since we have market economies (in communism it worked similarly too but it was more about apparatchiks) and such properties are very scarce is irrelevant. They just want that appreciating investment.

There is no point discussing this here, it had been done ad nausea and even otherwise rational people turn to very emotional reasoning when it comes to them and their perceived rights for their own wealth. Something about expecting the world to adjust to my expectations or desires instead of the other way.

They don't see them.

On the two occasions I failed to remove the large steel/titanium item in a piercing that set off the scatter machine so I was taken to a room and searched.

But the steel in my hands, the LED, chip and magnet in my left hand, the Vivokey and chip in my right hand - nothing. Even the handheld scanner doesn't pick them up.

One of the NFC chips was useful on my last trip to the US. I was constantly pulled over by the TSA and they might have wanted to inspect my laptop. So I made a backup, saved the minimum I needed, encrypted it on another device and uploaded to a domain. Clean installed the OS. The NFC chip carried a long string which to me gave the directory structure (very nested, no / in the string) and the encryption key. It wasn't needed, but it was amusing.
I'd be very surprised if ubuntu has backported the keystroke obfuscation feature (which was introduced in 9.5) to 8.9.

When the feature is missing, you're not safe from keystroke interception at all, which is what this bug is all about, so any 8.9 version would be actually considered "unsafe" until the whole feature is backported, which seems unlikely to happen?

> The formula works best in the treatment of monitored materials of which the source is known. First point to note is the character of the source. There are several choices on this: the true source (who really got it out?) and the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?); also, the first-use source (who used it the first time?) and the second-use source (who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?). Take the statement: "Harry said to me, he said, 'I never told anybody that Al's wife was a retired strip-teaser.' Mind you, I don't pretend to believe Harry, but that's what he said, all right." What are the possible true sources for the statement of fact or libel concerning Al's unnamed wife? What are the alternatives on ostensible sources? First use? Second use? The common sense needed to analyze this statement is of the same order as the process involved in analyzing the statement: "Reliable sources in Paris state that the visit of the American labor delegation has produced sensational repercussions in Moscow, and that Moscow, upon the basis of the American attitude, is determined to press for unification of the entire German labor movement."

Exercise: for the main claim in this HN comment, what are the sources? (true,ostensible,first-use,second-use)
Most of the common translation options should work offline (ie Fusion is capable), but Fusion sometimes gets stuck in a weird state where it insists it needs connectivity. Perhaps it's a quota thing but I've never found it to be consistent. This happens fairly often with STLs for 3D printing.

Once it's gotten into that hole it will often refuse to export any other format until connectivity is restored, even if the app is restarted. It's known behaviour, for example the official guidance is that changing binary to ascii might help, or you shouldn't export directly to a slicer when offline, or don't use certain menus. But it seems like a wontfix.
Good to see others noticed that too. This repeating what the thing they comment to just slightly different seems very off.
