Sure. That's very different from coasting at a FAANG though. And living in the Balkans is nothing like living in Bay Area, LA, NYC etc. I don't think it's comparable.

But of course - do what is best for you. If this is your situation and you like living in the Balkans, go for it. I love the place myself.

Overall though, I don't think this is the safe, easy, simple route. That's moving to the US and grinding some leetcode, not learning the basics of Balkan business culture and EU business regulations. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone who doesn't know very well what it takes - usually by going to a business school or having few years of business experience in EU - elsewhere doesn't count, it's much easier elsewhere.

I don't think there is an "official" definition for AAA, since it's mostly a buzzword. However, according to Wikipedia AAA refers to games "distributed by a mid-sized or major publisher". In that sense, I think all of the games you listed fit under AAA.

I think Hyrum's law really depends on APIs not applying consequences to people that depend on non-guaranteed behavior. The world needs more consequences for poor behavior.

Just randomly change the non-guaranteed stuff in every release and this behavior likely would stop and/or you'd lose the users that don't know any better. Both sides of that sound like a win to me.

The modeling of unit systems with types is fraught with all sorts of inconsistencies and design tradeoffs. There are quantities that have the same dimensions, but shouldn't be compared or allow arithmetic between them. Many issues with Temperature scales and how to interpret differences in these spaces.

I think a pretty well thought out approach to this is the mp-units library in c++ that uses the ISQ(International System of Quantities) [1].

There are some great blog posts on their site about modeling units systems and dimensions.
Fingers crossed it may even be added to the standard library in C++29.

Ask HN: JsxToJson
Collective Project: JsxToJson

Anyone interested in collectively creating and supporting an open source JavaScript project to parse Jsx into Json?

Why: I find it much easier to reason about and read Jsx instead of JSON. Yet JSON is a much better syntax for passing data around.
Goal: Develop a small project which parses JSX and generates JSON.

```
<Ducks sound="quack">
<Fred color="green" canfly=false />
<Ducks/>
```

JsxToJson() should produce:

```{
"Ducks": {
"sound": "quack",
"children": [
{
"Fred": {
"color": "green",
"canFly": false
}
}
]
}
}
```

I suspect, but do not know, that there are many uses for such a package.

And yes, there is For example, threejs uses a syntax that could easily be converted to JSON, which could (perhaps easily) be generated by Jsx. If you are interested, contact arthurgar nospace banzo@g also no space mail.com. Or if you already have something ...

> ... not as types, but as special numerical values, more or less (values that you can multiply/divide by any other unit, but can only add/subtract with themselves).

What's so cool about `dimensional` is that the types work the way you describe!

Normally, in Haskell, the addition and multiplication functions are typed like so:

(+) :: Double -> Double -> Double
(*) :: Double -> Double -> Double

With `dimensional`, addition looks like:

(+) :: Quantity d Double -> Quantity d Double -> Quantity d Double

which means you can't add quantities with incompatible dimensions, so far so good. But multiplication looks like:

(*) :: Quantity d1 Double -> Quantity d2 Double -> Quantity (d1 * d2) Double

That is, the dimensions of the result of multiplication (d1 * d2) follow the physics meaning of multiplication. What can look confusing is that (d1 * d2) is a type-level calculation which is run at compile-time.

This means that `dimensional` isn't only about 'statically checking' dimensions and units, but also inferring them.

You can see this interactively. What is the type of 1 meter divided by 1 second:

ghci> :t (1 *~ meter) / (1 *~ second)
Quantity (Dim Pos1 Zero Neg1 Zero Zero Zero Zero) Double

where (Dim Pos1 Zero Neg1 Zero Zero Zero Zero) is a synonym for the dimension of velocity, which is not checked -- it is inferred at compile time.

IIRC John Cleese has a talk from years ago where he makes a very interesting point that seriousness and solemnity are two very different things.

In his opinion, killing humor is the same as killing creativity and killing creativity is the same as inviting disaster and/or failure for the sake of your ego.

Not being solemn is not the same as not being serious.

I think your last sentence there really is the right take away here. But even more than that, I think the right way to prevent future tragedies is with humor not solemnity.

I did take the time to understand more after that, like learning that many trans people broadly agreed with the points I'd made but are now denounced as "truscum" by those who believe that gender identity and not gender dysphoria is fundamental to being trans.

Note also that these were the standard leftie views on trans back in the 1990s, which is when I first heard about it. My beliefs weren't invented from whole cloth as you state. At the time the common understanding was that gender dysphoria is such a debilitating medical condition that accommodating those rare individuals afflicted by this should be done to help them deal with it better. Sort of like how disabled people are provided ramps for access - it was the right thing to do to help a marginalized group.

Anyway my point was more about intolerance of dissenting views on this topic in particular. Being permanently banned from that Discord was an unpleasant surprise when I was just expressing a viewpoint that was previously how most on the left understood the issue.

On the plus side it did help me understand the perspectives on the other side better. I'd previously considered "terfs" to be nothing more than vicious bigots, but once I understood that the trans umbrella had been expanded to include those without gender dysphoria, including men that back in the day would have just been considered common transvestites and not transsexual at all, some of their arguments began to make sense.

Now I'm more middle-ground on the issue, which isn't a bad place to be. This also inspired me rethink other political stances that I had adopted without analyzing them too deeply. So overall I suppose being kicked out of this community was a good thing as it broadened my mind. It also helped me see first hand how political echo chambers are constructed.

I have been on the side of the free and anonymous internet for a long time.

But honestly, I am not sure about how I feel anymore. Internet has become a jungle where scams, lies, all sort of crimes, propaganda and manipulations from hostile foreign countries are now common and expected things of our daily life.

This is clearly destabilizing our democraties by creating distrust toward our institutions, and thus threatening peace and freedoms. And I absolutely blame social networks.

From a technical perspective I understand very well that there is no realistic solution to those problems, short of forbidding anonymity and requiring people to use their official identity.

There is of course the risk of this being abused by our own governements to attack freedoms, but lately I feel like this option would by far have more benefits than drawbacks.

Bobby Fisher won his first US Championships at 14 against people who had been playing chess longer than he had been alive. Suggesting they didn't want it more, or practice more than some kid is silly.

"We can't on one hand believe in the plasticity and retrainability of the mind, while simultaneously believing that speed is something only a few are born with."

Sure we can, the initial orientation of neurons differs between people, so some people need less "plasticity and retrainability" to be good at a task. Plasticity is physical characteristic like height and varies between people.

Initial speed usually isn't that important, but speed of learning is important and makes the difference between possible and impossible within a human lifetime.
I think the article is missing some key aspect of personality forming : Maslow's hierarchy of needs[1]

Personality and its development is hugely dependent on which needs are or will be currently fulfilled or not.

Attention economics is able to impact you negatively on low level of the pyramids, notably due to its impact on sleep. It can also shift your priority towards less essential needs than the one you should be working on. And it's often myopic, missing totally some aspects due to hyper-focusing.

It's also able to impact you by impacting those near you, that's what social networks are for. Developing a support structure whether family or friends is a double edge sword because you indirectly become as weak as the most vulnerable member of the group, or group may explode.

The economy also apply pressure on basic level needs, like shelter, heat, air and water(when polluted), and safety, which probably contribute to shape the personality and are basins which are also hard to get out of ("you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl").

I do agree that explaining why mathematical concepts are useful is something that's often lacking in mathematical curricula, but not that the problem is premature abstraction. Like another commenter said, the opposite is true. The way children are first introduced to (and therefore soured to) something that adults call "math" is by performing pointless computation that has as much to do with actual math as lensmaking has to do with astronomy.
Interesting - I'd love to know more about this, and perhaps assist with the data model.

While purpose-built traffic calming infra is super nice to have, I'm somewhat more interested in the much more prevalent (at least, outside Europe and Asia) and also muc less expensive roadways which are traffic-calm by default, owing to natural chicanes, unimproved areas, one-lane bridges, etc.

Bogota, for example, has a fairly elegant network of unimproved roads connecting the parks. If you take a ride with a local, you see the bike infra much more acutely than what is expressed on gmaps, or even theoretically by looking at `traffic_calming==true`. A much more granular data type is required.
