despite being in the same industry, engine programmers =/= game designers. You may as well be comparing a network engineer to a front end web dev.

As for "actual games": indie dev with mature tools is hard enough as is to properly ship. and many don't make money. Making the kind of game that would attract attention requires funding that these communities often lack.
The point OP was trying to make is that for most people, they don't need to learn anything new - If all they're going to be doing is fire up Chrome and go to Facebook or whatever, then the OS doesn't really matter to them.

The minor UI/UX differences between Windows and say, a distro running KDE or XFCE isn't any greater than the difference between two major Windows versions. I mean, look at Windows 11, a lot of normies were unhappy about the center oriented taskbar. And look at the mess that Windows 8 was - no start button initially, and a fullscreen start menu.

The proof in the pudding is the relative success of Chromebooks - normies buy it knowing that all they need is a browser, and they didn't need to take any big effort to learn anything new.
Resources like the Simpsons Archive aka SNPP, the episode capsules particularly, which are just a collection of lengthy text files written decades ago but filled with treasure trove of insights and searchable references/quotes, are one of the rare simple gems of the Internet that I hope last forever.

To be read with Veblen's Theory of the Leisure Class. Which needs to be updated for the over Info+Network age.

At its essence its about how Signaling works within a population, to keep it together inspite of the vast difference between individuals.

Veblen signalling is basically - look at my leisure activities - look at all the luxury (what I eat/where I stay/what I wear etc) - look who hangs out with us - look at all the ribbons, awards, and costumes and uniforms - aren't we cool peacocks - if you want to hang out with us and have fun, better do what we tell you.

This is a very useful and effective shortcut to group/social cohesion, when there is massive and growing Info Asymmetry and Knowledge Gaps between everyone.

In the short term. It breaks down over time.

And there are good signs in the age of over info, too many signals, and too many paths to leisure and luxury, the breakdown is happening faster and faster. The environment has changed and old short cuts are less effective.

Leisure and Luxury are just tools to pull people into the same boat. New tools and signals are required to keep them there.

South Korean communities are fixated on this wall issue to an abnormal degree. Discussion of this wall has become a congregation of people who
1. See this tragedy as an opportunity to deride province the airport is located in.
2. Want to be contrarian to those who tell them to wait until official results are out.
3. Feel like the society is "forcing them to mourn" (whatever that means) and would like to look at the cold hard "FACTS".
It's a mess.

The obstacle obviously didn't cause the crash, but it's still probable that fewer people would have died if it wasn't there, and it seems to have been put there for no valid reason, quite recently, and against standard practice. Along with the reports that their bird control devices had not been implemented and that only 1 of the required 4 staff to repel birds were on duty. All these factors together may suggest an issue with their safety culture.

Though, I am a little sceptical of the claims that it would have hugely reduced fatalities either way. Runway excursions into unmanaged terrain at that speed don't usually work out well for the passengers, even when the terrain appears relatively flat.

I'm not an airline pilot, but I'm still curious to see what caused such an unusual crash, since there doesn't seem to be any single issue that could have caused what happened. So far, my best uninformed guess is a combination of pilot error and bad luck: the approach wasn't stabilised, so they started executing a go-around, and THEN a multiple bird strike caused catastrophic damage to the right engine. This may have led to smoke in the cabin/cockpit which they interpreted as a fire (or some other issue, vibrations etc.) that made them decide to shut down the engine, but they shut down the wrong (left) engine. So now they think they have a dual engine failure. At this stage they obviously don't have time to run through paper procedures, and they put the plane into clean configuration to maximise glide and attempt a 180 to try and land back on the runway. Then they either couldn't or forgot to deploy the gear, and floated down the runway partly due to ground effect from being at an unusually high speed, thus landing at high speed almost halfway down the runway. Thoughts?

>I've abandoned rust because I don't find it useable to me with unneeded complexity to code.

I don't want to be too dismissive, but if you dont care about code safety, Rust is the absolute worst language to choose for game development. Yes, it's a lot more work upfront and iterative game development wants to break things quickly to figure out a good game loop.

I want to make a game myself in Rust one day and I know for certain that my scripting will definitely not be in Rust.
After the arrestorbed will be a massive magnetic sled that will accelerate to the speed of the plane and then decelerate the whole thing!

It was in gound effect floating till very near the end, these two video show the story very well: https://x.com/vinfly4/status/1873285591900836307 https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comments/1hopl7d/longer_vi...

As you can see, it actually isn't touching the ground for quite some time, it looks like it because one of the engines is smoking and the plane is throwing up dust etc from the ground as it floats above. Pure guessing on my part as someone who isn't involved in aviation but spent a good 6 hours looking into this crash: Pilots tried to go around, put the plane in go around config, couldn't, didn't know what to do, and watched the berm come at them. Extremely sad.

How both engines failed? We won't know til blackbox I guess, either pilot error or the bird strike was nuts and took out both engines, also some speculation the go around thrust caused a compressor stall. It looks to my uneducated eyes, from the first video, the left engine is not in great shape. Either way, very awful situation.
>I never get them when I am not expecting a package.

For what it's worth, I get scam messages claiming to be about usps, dhl, et cetera even when I'm not expecting a package. Recently, I have a couple claiming to be about a package failing to clear customs (but if I just pay a quick fee...).
That doesn't make sense at all.

People keep saying that, but I don't see how it's excusable for there to be a massive concrete block against which planes disintegrate at the end of any runway. Maybe everybody would've died some other way, maybe only 10 people would have survived, who knows. But we won't know because somebody put a massive concrete block in the way.

We aren't talking about any of your examples in this crash. And it isn't relevant for many other places either. If you have an open field behind a runway and you put a concrete block directly at the end of it, you can't defend your decision with "well, in this other city it doesn't matter because you'll hit the terminal". It's some weird form of whataboutism that I simply don't understand.

It's inexcusable and it's tiring seeing people defend it as if it's okay.
That's an interesting take away, I just quoted the exact same line from the blob to a friend with my response being

> why didn't somebody stop me?!

I'm not sure if "the industry" has a problem with relaying the reality that: the internet is full of malicious people that will try to hack you.

My take away was closer to. The author knew better but thought some mix of 1) no one would provide incomplete information 2) I'm not a target 3) containers are magic, and are safe. I say that because they admit as much immediately following.

Doesn’t seem like it from the ones we know about, and I think that’s why we know about them. STI symptoms are typically unpleasant, painful, and when untreated potentially deadly. HSV for example is most contagious when a person is having an outbreak of sores, which certainly wouldn’t put most people in the mood.
> also noting that the safety aspect is already taken care by Java/C#/Verse/Blueprints/Lua/Python/JS scritping.

it sure isn't safe enough. and "safe" in this context isn't just "my game will almost never crash" (plenty of Unity games crash, even non-il2cpp ones). But if that's good enough, then tha's understandable.

Very very few games (even AAA) are doing those old school assembly hacks to eek out power, so it's basically a non-factor.
oddly enough, I compare this conspiracy theory with clout-chasing word-of-god christians on social media: there's an element of "i don't understand how it works, therefore the simplest answer must be correct"

if everyday people knew just how much data companies have on them and their habits, they'd be absolutely horrified. There's so much personal attribution data that most companies that know how to market properly are going to get you at some point. You may think you're careful with what you share and what is being recorded, but if you are friends or relatives of someone who does, or if you live in the same street as someone who does, they data on you.

I used to work for these kind of companies, and have a lot of friends and family who currently do, and the stuff they track and the patterns they have never fail to surprise me and make me laugh.

Sure, if they could, they would absolutely listen in to you, that would make their jobs a hell of a lot easier, but they don't. But the data they have on you so goddamn accurate, it's easy to assume they must be.

> dropping the fairly convincingly invalidated assumption of large scale uniformity in the mass distribution of the universe.

The problem with that is then you need a mechanism that creates non-uniformly distributed mass.

Otherwise, you are simply invoking the anthropic principle: "The universe is the way it is because we are here."
I think I have the opposite mindset. I prefer putting everything on credit cards because then I don't have to keep a receipt or remember exactly what I spent where if I go to multiple places in one day. Plus bills/online subscriptions/etc that aren't cash-friendly.

I'd like something like Privacy that creates temporary credit card numbers, but is also anonymous from the provider side. Sort of like buying a new visa gift card to use every month.

But I also like getting points to use while traveling
Is there a link to any of the evidence?

"We will conduct extensive open-source research, using publicly available information to identify patterns, connections, and trends related to the CCP's propaganda machine."

For example, you said "Every timeout in every hop of the chain is within your control to configure", but I'm quite confident that the WiFi router my office uses doesn't respect timeouts correctly, nor does my Phone's ISP, or certain VPNs.

Cardboard refuse is environmentally benign. It's wood fibre (and a few other bits) which break down in nature, usually within a few weeks or months at most.

Plastic refuse persists for hundreds to thousands of years, and is itself biologically active, often interfering with endocrine or other bodily signalling functions, if not other long-term chronic poisoning, or sheer physical blockage.

Cardboard sourcing of course has environmental impacts through deforestation, monoculture, and land-use impacts. That's another story.

Did you mean to say there is a high noise floor with little signal?

A lot of spectrum disorder diagnoses are misdiagnoses for other (medical) things. The diagnoses are often used as a catchall when no one can figure it out.

For example, chronic heavy metal poisoning mimicks ADHD or ADD diagnoses, blood tests alone are useless because its bound to tissue very quickly after exposure (and bioaccumulates unless a chelator is taken). Toxicity for a number of other substances also presents similarly to these diagnoses (flouride, pfas, microplastics).
That is exactly the one! Thank you so much! I've wanted to finish the series, but lost the link.
So you'd rather them have a certain 100% chance of death instead of more leeway and a chance against much less robust trees? Honestly, if I crash land, I think I prefer 150 more meters and a tree as the obstacle over the concrete block.

I'm not sure what would constitute ethical versus not ethical exactly, but increasingly I've wondered if some governments will start supporting dating apps, if birthrates decline enough. Is that better than a private corporation app? Maybe or maybe not but it seems like it might change the "ethical issue landscape".

Or maybe dating apps per se will fade away and dating functionality will just get folded into more general purpose apps and sites.
That is awful and I hope it will never pass. It would be a security nightmare. If passed, it should lead to a very wide review of all software using 127/8, and that will never be comprehensive...

>Since Burst compiler was introduced for HPC# subset,

depends a lot on how far DOTS has come. I'm a few years out of date, but DOTS (and by extension, Burst) was more or less a very separate codepath you needed to opt into. Any game using it today needed to make the consious effort to grab the Burst package an integrate those optimizations themselves.

I have heard plans to try and more or less integrate DOTS into the core engine and have gameobjects powered by entries under the hood, but I have no clue how much progress was actually made.
Plaid/Yodlee/SimpleFIN etc are slowly getting better about not having to store credentials or do scraping. It depends more on the bank. A lot of banks don't support things like oauth, but a few do support giving 3rd party apps read-only access or at least have an oauth2 flow to approve access instead of giving them your user/password.

Agreed in general though, I don't like having to give a budgeting app potential access to transfer all of my money away (even if they promise they won't)
Ask HN: Why do/don't you use C?
I've been having a blast writing projects in C lately (emulator, raycaster) and using it extensively for a game engine I'm making.

But I always hear people saying "just use Rust or Zig" - but C is actually a great time, and I'm happy the naysayers didn't put me off.

So, do you, or do you not use C?

If so: why, and what for?

If not: why not, and what do you use instead?

That's 20% of the country that will be less well off if you "fix" healthcare in any meaningful way and the overwhelming majority of them will fight tooth and nail to prevent that from happening.

That is a hell of a minority to overcome when the issue is one of personal economics (i.e one everyone will experience directly, not some abstract social policy thing that people will ignore as long as their lives are good), dare I say basically impossible in a democracy.
