Nope, you are spot on.

I too noticed pretty quickly that this must be female POV.

You can generally tell even just by the word choices ("spidey senses" American women seem to love that phrase for some reason, "super <adjective>", "awry", "weird vibes", ...)

Another instant give-away was "now we've got a compounding situation" - quite a feminine phrasing. Not judging, I mean it sounds almost cute even.

Finally, her idea of "facing each other squarely": a total no-no for men (way too much potenial energy, like two massive electron beams opposing each other), but OK for women.
Not what the original author wanted but with game like Cyberpunk I wish the wiki would be IG :).
> I would be really amazed if this person makes a good game when their focus is make players do A rather than B instead of "how do I make this game as much fun to play as possible".

Would you consider Terraria a good game? I think at one point it was the highest rated game on Steam. And yet that game is exactly this way - it makes players do A rather than B: it is pretty much impossible to play it WITHOUT the wiki, because of the design: there is no list of all craftable items in-game.

And because of this I could never really get into it, because I had to tediosly collect all my resources and then go to each crafting station one by one, simply to see what I am able to craft.
Congratulations, now you understand how a timeline works.
Does anyone remember the Horadric Cube from Diablo 2? Was there any mechanism in the game to discover all of the combinations? (I don’t think so). It was easy to work out a couple basic combos with gems and then you basically needed to look up the rest, which I always thought was a shame. Seems like it wouldn’t have been hard to make them all discoverable in-game without just guessing.
I like it, it's better than other apps. Reason is it present you a list of all components of left sidebar so we don't have to think of creating it from scratch. Just drag and drop and your work is done.
You just wait until you try Hershey's chocolade…
Of course in a war both sides shoot at each other. The hypocrisy comes when one side is good and the other is bad for doing the same thing.

So it would be "The enemies soldiers are evil and just want us all dead, but we're the heros protecting our country".
Any third party GraphQL library worth its salt should implement some kind of ACL. It seems to be the case with the most popular ones [1] [2]. One simple idea is to implement authorization in the data models. GraphQL delegate ~get~ and ~list~ to ressource model that could implement authorization based on the context of the request.

The question feels wrong because it's out of place. First you have to ask "what game am I building, and for whom?".

Games with multiple levels of puzzles and meta gameplay wouldn't exist without an active community and wikis, and they are great partly because of that. Think Noita, Animal Well or even Binding of Isaac.

On the other hand, you don't need a wiki to play and enjoy Ori and the Blind Forest
It should be the industry standard imo
Wouldn't you put the battery in the massive space created by the missing engine block?
It's the provider I'm using that does it for the Tor exits people host with them. I don't have my own IPv4 space, which is something like 8k$ for the smallest useful subnet and that's too expensive for a hobby.

They just have a Russian ASN and IP space but it's still located in Norway.
I have had very high (3x upper limit normal or more) levels of fecal secretory IgA ever since I took antibiotics in 2014. Also numerous health issues and allergies that developed ever since. Nothing has seemed to really work. I have to take antihistamines just to not feel like I need to go to the emergency room from reacting to things all the time. Pretty tilting since I developed these problems at such a young age. It felt like it completely robbed my life from me. And I'm fairly certain the antibiotics did it because the problems literally just developed in the months following, and some almost immediately after taking them. One of the drugs, ciprofloxacin, seemed to cause severe connective tissue problems that are actually permanent. It is over 10 years later and I still extremely readily tear tendons and ligaments, when before I took them I never once had any problems with any of my tendons or ligaments no matter what I did and no matter how often I did it. My first tendon issues ever were the month after taking it.
I had the same question at first. Upon downloading and inspecting the PNG file, you will notice that it actually has an alpha channel. This allows us to give it any color we want easily by giving a background color property in CSS. That could still be achieved however, if it wasn't transparent, by playing with the Hue value.
I thought I recognized the name; this article was written by the putty guy [1] :-)

If you want to write with a permanent ink today that would still be there after a few hundred years, what would be your best choice?
Law broken, possibly how often the individual broke it before, too.
Why can't US and China just be competitors, as it was before Xi got on this conquer Taiwan kick? He's another one of those aging boomers who hung on too long.
Outside of very specific niches like trade deficits, job and industry losses (moved to China), and geopolitical saber rattling, I feel the sentiment of the average man is actually very pro-China thanks to how much sheer money China pours into soft power.

I recommend seeing what China has its monies in, because they are in fucking everything today.

As an example, China has their monies in like 80~90%+ of the global video game market through Tencent, and video games are one of the heralds of pop culture and thus influence today. More critically, China has a growing stranglehold on the next generation of global payment processors through Alipay and WeChat Pay among others.

Also, perhaps ironically: This entire thread with numerous pro-China/anti-US/anti-west sentiments.

To put this in Civilization terms, China is going for an Econo-Cultural Victory and I daresay it's working.
Still I think this type of thing is much more likely to happen with GraphQL including various N + 1 and even worse performance issues.

Like if you imagine having junior engs they will be much more likely to make the mistake with GraphQL than otherwise and it is harder to review as well.

The permissions checking becomes a real spaghetti and difficult to understand in practice compared to just one by one checks.
From the introduction,

Since the days of Harry Beck, transit maps have mostly been created manually by professional map designers (Garland Citation1994; Wu et al. Citation2020). The primary focus was on static maps, either distributed in print or electronically. These maps are typically schematic, and the classic octilinear design (network segment orientations are multiples of 45∘) is still prevalent. In the late 1990s, the graph drawing community started to investigate the problem of drawing such maps automatically. The following questions were investigated: (1) How can graphs be drawn in an octilinear fashion? (2) Which hard criteria should a transit map fulfil? (3) Which soft criteria should be optimized? Several methods have since been proposed (see below). A set of soft and hard criteria, first described by Nöllenburg (Citation2005), has since been generally accepted. The important sub-problem of finding an optimal line ordering of lines travelling through network segments has also been identified very early by Benkert et al. (Citation2006).

It not trivial to automatically generate an optimally understandable octalinear transit map, and this group have combined bits of 30 years of research to do it in one go for every* bit of public transit on the planet.

* every bit that's in OSM, I suppose
One of the unexpected pitfalls I've found doing the content driven approach is that I can tend to focus on technically complex tasks I can write about instead of core feature work. In general, however, this approach has worked fantastically well for me.
Solar has nothing to do with it. Voyager uses hydrazine, of which over 80% has been used up over the years. They simply use not that much of it as it's not for thrust, but for aiming at Earth more or less.
No, because that space is still occupied by all the auxiliary devices that still have to be there, and of course the electric motor which - while smaller than most ICEs - is still sizable. Converted cars have less space under the bonnet than most people would guess.
Yeah but when other countries do it, it's unsporting, unfair, illegal meddling, unacceptable, a threat to our Democracy, etc.
That's a pretty interesting approach as it means you don't have to ask about how much money the person makes, which can vary.

Though it hurts poor people who prioritize their car over other essentials.
"It's not like EV manufacturers are going out of their way to make the car's batteries replacible"

But since electric cars are mechanically a bit simpler, there are opportunities for small companies willing to disrupt the market or at least find a niche for reliable and easy to fix cars.
That's where the electric motor goes in retrofits.
This article seems like a wilful attempt to rewrite history by ignoring, distorting or inventing a lot of things.

- Web standards didn't move fast enough for developers and users. People _wanted_ things like games, streaming videos and online shopping, which were impossible to do properly with web standard technologies for much of the 90s and 2000s. This wasn't driven by "big corporations" and Macromedia was never a big corporation anyway.

- How have React, or Angular for that matter, "failed"? How are they things not to bet a career on? React remains the default choice for most web app development as it has been for over a decade now. And I still see plenty of Angular jobs, far more than are looking for web components, the supposed standardised alternative.

- Web standards are _not_ decentralised in any way, shape or form. They are organised through a handful of centralised organisations, mainly the W3C, which are controlled by their major funders. Who are, surprise surprise, large corporations. Yes, the are somewhat open to outside participation, but it still is browser vendor employees who do most of the key work and make the key decisions, with Google/Chrome being the dominant player.

- Many, if not most, web standard technologies are invented by small numbers of engineers working for large corporations with no different incentives than those working on the technologies the author disparages. Canvas and CSS animations were created by Apple. Web components were created by Google. They were then adopted and standardised by other corporate employees.

- What "churn" have React and Angular really suffered? React was released in 2013 and has seen only one really major change — Hooks — in that time. Otherwise it has been a remarkably stable base to build software on. Most of the "churn" has actually occurred at the _community_ level, through the rise and fall of various open-source tools and libraries.

- The progress of web standards has not been the consistently slow but irresistible tide the author claims. Progress in the late 90s and 2000s was essentially nonexistent, being held back by Microsoft/IE's lack of interest and then the huge mass of users stuck on outdated browser versions. Then, once evergreen browsers reached a critical mass, progress sped up enormously, and in the modern era it easily outpaces the supposed churn of frameworks like React and Angular.
This is cool, fan of Balsamiq. What I would really like is some alignment/snap feature similar to what you have in MS power point when you put some shapes together and it overlays some lines to help with spacing and gaps.

> if you were Hindu you were better off in the British empire than the Mughal Empire except for the rare tolerant Mughal ruler

Unless you were Bengali Hindu, I guess?

An undeniable difference between the British Raj and the Mughals is, the British were colonizers; the country as a whole suffered due to imperialism. One other user points out in this thread about the upending of socio-economic fabric under the Raj. Not really a "Golden Age" by any measure.
Hey guys, been bootstrapping this on my free time for the past 8 months, the idea is:

- A podcast generator, get a podcast about any subject in minutes
- Make follow up questions that get added for the whole community to listen to
- Multilanguage (Spanish/English/German)

Several new features coming!

Also, read this today, so I guess idea validated?

Escapade has had the misfortune to be delayed twice. It was originally scheduled for launch as a secondary payload with Psyche in 2022 but that was scratched when the primary payload was not ready. Hopefully it can successfully launch next year!

This company makes phenomenal Iron Gall Inks. The ink dries quite fast (I'm left handed, so that is important), shows very interesting shading properties and is super cheap.

I suggest you to try them. It's a nice experience.

https://www.rohrer-klingner.de/en/writing-ink/?lang=en

About the pens, you can find very nice fountain pens on aliexpress, starting from 4 USD including delivery. For example Jinhao X159, 9019 and 9016.

To have more shading, I suggest M nibs.
> average man is actually very pro-China

survey would say otherwise: For the fifth year in a row, about eight-in-ten Americans report an unfavorable view of China https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/05/01/americans-rema...

In the 18 high-income countries we polled, views of China are, on balance, negative. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2024/07/09/views-of-china...
How do you decide what to work on? (2016)
It's not making bad, it's making cheaper/faster. They probably hired less experimented developers or didn't give them proper time to implement the features they wanted.
I'm in the same boat - I have a Volvo PHEV with an 11.6kWh battery, and Volvo upgraded that battery in newer models to 18.8kWh. And the thing is....the battery takes the exact same space as before - it was just an improvement in battery packaging which allowed them to do this. But....I can't fit this newer battery to my car, even though it would physically fit - the systems inside the car will not allow it to work. If there was a company that offered this as a paid upgrade for my car I'd gladly pay for it.
Iron is less dangerous than most metals, but such excessive quantities in an insoluble crystal form, where the iron has to be reduced to become soluble, might create hard to predict problems.
There is such thing as bothsideism, which isn't necessarily better than "my side is only good".

Sometime the world is indeed black and white. Other time, it's greyer if not outright muddy. In other words, it all depends.
Never watched kitchen nightmares?
So the anti-China propaganda we got since 2016 was for free? Nice!
That was a satisfying and very informative read - thanks and congrats.

I am considering it now, thanks!
I find it fascinating that somewhere at sometime, someone used the word 'doxxed/doxxing' in this context for the very first time and now it is part of the vernacular.

And just as William Burroughs postulated that 'language is a virus' this 'virus' has now spread so far and wide it is the parlance of our times.

Show HN: Open-Source Native Mobile Bug-Reporter
We use an SDK (shake-to-report) to extract a lot of information (Session Recording, API/Network Calls, Crash Logs, Device Details, etc) when a bug is reported on Native Android/iOS.
Then all these comprehensive bug reports can be viewed on our Dashboard, where there's also an AI suggested solution for all reported bugs.

We need more contributors to expand this solution to React, Flutter, Unity, other cross-platform Frameworks.
I'm not terribly surprised. I use it but would describe it as incompetently put together as my bank app? maybe worse, it barley functions at all. I dont know how they managed it.
On the other hand I think there are definitely situations and play styles where the player resorting to a wiki is a failure of game design. I mostly don't use wikis, but if I get into a situation where I don't feel like I'm making progress or have any idea what to do ("how do I even damage this boss at all?"; "I feel like I spent the last half hour wandering over the map and I have no clue where I need to go next"; that kind of thing), then I'm likely to look up the answer. And once I've found a walkthrough or wiki I'm probably going to keep using it even when the next part is less annoying. I think in that kind of case both the player and the designer are likely to feel it would have been a better game if that resort to the wiki was avoidable.

There are also situations where I will happily look up a walkthrough because I've had enough "puzzle solving" fun and just want the "see the last bits of content" fun before I put the game down. I did the tail end of Tunic and Fez that way. This kind of thing I don't think is a game design failure -- it's just different players having different preferences for how much and how complicated they like riddle solving and secret finding gameplay.
But wasn’t Netflix using FreeBSD?
The point is that maybe most(some?) people don't need DC charging at all. I've owned our VW e-Up for 3 years now, drive it literally every day, and I never needed to fast charge it because I've not once taken it on a trip longer than its battery range. I just never had a need. In fact I'm just charging it from a normal domestic socket at a meagre 2kW once a week and that's absolutely enough. Obviously it won't work for everyone, but I bet it would work for a whole range of people - some of my friends have definitely never driven more than 100 miles in a day in their cars and they lug around 50 litres of petrol in their tanks "just in case".
If only someone during WW2 saw the hypocrisy of shooting at German soldiers we could've avoided the whole war. Chamberlain was right all along!
You know this guy gets paid by the word because he spends about a thousand words saying "The earth is more hospitable than Mars and there's still places on earth where life basically doesn't survive". Which is one argument, made in an extremely long way. But the counter is surely "Yes, everything that could live at the top of mount everest prefers to live at the foot of mount everest, that option is not available to life on mars". Or "Everest is uninhabitable because we've never tried to make it habitable".

I was hoping there would be a hard scientific fact the author would state like "It doesn't have a magnetic field and solar flares do X" but we didn't quite get there.

A lot of doomsterism in this article is incredibly one sided. Yes, it's true the sun will be around for another 4 billion years, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go to mars, it means you get to ask the quesiton "Do you think at some point over the course of the next 4 billion years we'll successfully create a martian colony?". 4 billion years! We're talking about 4 billion years and you're worried about the carbon foot print of coffee beans?

I fundamentally agree that Musk's particular effort is pie in the sky. But (a) the steps along the way aren't (starlink, cheap satellites) and (b) it's his money he can fuck all the way off with it - I'd rather he spent the money shooting for Mars than shooting to land little orange men into the white house.
I didn't exactly know of it but I had enough glitches on that terrible app when I was using it that it was obvious there was info being sent that it didn't mean to and some atrocious performance issues that made it feel like it was crudely thrown together

Pretty sure I flagged something or another as a security issue but can't recall what it was
Around 50-70 refs/guides/tools/eshops pages and hundreds of links to whatever, mostly loras and potential datasets. I have zero “good read for later” bookmarks, cause that’s formula for garbage.

Tried to look for managers before but they are selling me features I won’t need irl.

My bookmarks are organized into folders on the bookmark bar, and my browser allows to click a folder (and any subfolders) and “add active page” to it without a dialog.

There’s also a star icon in urlbar that opens a dialog with a title and folder selection. It adds or edits a bookmark and remembers the last folder (“add active page” doesn’t disturb it).

A bookmark can be in two+ folders.

Bookmarks I visit frequently have proper names like “Node FS” or “CSS Flex”.

What I could really use:

- find duplicates

- some 2-panel tree+list editor that allows quicker sorting into specific folders

- bookmarks store a screenshot of a page’s current viewport at the moment of bookmarking

- “thumbnail view” of screenshots in a folder or preview by hovering over a list item

I don’t think I need autogrouping, cause dynamic lists are not good for muscle memory (I locate mans/refs instantly cause they are always there). And for non-memorized hundreds I group them by criteria which a software couldn’t pick without mind reading anyway.
There's a category of games whose depth goes so hard that they assume engagement outside of the application, and then there's Mega Man games who were built under the assumption that the player will enjoy trial and error, and to attempt to push through making the wrong stage choice by learning how to dodge boss mechanics.

I firmly believe that the internet normalized metagaming as a side-effect (guides, talk to friends online, etc.) and that in turn affected the way games designed, and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.

The vast majority of games should never, ever be designed under the assumption that the player has access to Google, and by extend ease of access to stuff like "the most OP Gundam parts", "most OP weapon for Elden Ring", etc.
I am a C# developer so I should feel right at home with Powershell. In some ways I am. I do manage to get things done if I have to use it. If I am inside the Windows environment (with other Windows devs) I will try to encourage using it over CMD.

One thing I will give Powershell credit for is, back in 2012, being able to chuck something together when I did not have the development tools I needed. I knew that Powershell was .NET under the hood so I had a stab at being able to load my DLL files and calling methods inside a class. It did the trick! I was able to hand it over, suggesting they use it as a Task Scheduler (daily) and hardly anyone touched it during the remaining of that promotion (4 months)

Despite all this, if I ever have to write a script for odd execution or regular automation... I wish I could use bash. I have mentioned Git For Windows or using WSL but I just cannot win anyone over. Its not like anyone is an expert on shell scripting.. powershell or whatever.

As much as I like Powershell -- I still consider bash to be better. I think half of this reason boils down to what you are accustomed to. I have been using Linux properly since.. around.. 2006.
I played so much Glider as a kid. This is probably the only opportunity I ever get to say this, so: thank you very much for your games!
