Game reviewers don't spend as long with a game as regular players. They play enough hours until they feel like they have a good enough handle on the game to write the review.

A game which maintains a high level of engagement during that review period but which drops off not long after that could show this kind of discrepancy between customers and reviewers. I don't want to suggest that Blue Prince is this sort of game (never mind that it might be deliberate) but I think it's possible for some games to have been designed for game reviewers rather than for long-term players. The top HN comment on this story (as I write this) would seem to indicate that the game has an issue with running out of steam after a few hours.

This sort of thing is not unheard of in other media as well. In the film industry this strategy is called Oscar-bait. Of course for a film it's not based on duration but subject matter. Certain themes and filmmaking techniques have been accused of being targeted at the narrower interests of the Academy rather than a broad audience.
This.

Spotify hides the ability to just have your own stuff in favor of their algorithm they want to shove down your throat. It isn't just library management, but every part of their UI feels more like algo-driven exploration and recommendations as opposed to 'I'm in the drivers seat, and I decide when I want to explore'.

Its so frustrating, and I find it hard to explain to folks who have never had their own music collection finely curated - whether physical, in mp3s carefully renamed and organized (probably to be played thru winamp), or now in something like Roon or Apple music or one of the winamp-like local music apps.

Don't get me wrong, I've discovered great stuff via the various algo-radio things every service offers now and auto-plays if your queue ends. But I find much more great music via friends or music sites or reddit. And I want to be in the drivers seat when choosing music - starting with things I've added or favorited or added to playlists.

Anytime I have to use Spotify (typically to share w/ friends) its clear their product is all about _them_ and the stuff they want to push, and not about me.

This post is oddly nonsensical ...

> mainstream media, like facebook

Facebook is in the 'mainstream media'? That's a first in my experience. 'Mainstream media' usually describes established journalism organizations such as CNN, Fox, the NY Times, the WSJ. Facebook is universally grouped with 'social media' in my experience.

> Most of the people in the 'free world' goes on mainstream media

In fact, most people go on social media. The 'mainstream media' is losing audience rapidly.

> you end up with most media complying with the official story pushed by government and friends

I'm a bit confused here. Facebook complying with ... which government? The Israeli government has very little power over Facebook - Israel is a tiny market.

Meanwhile, Trump has been calling the 'mainstream media', the 'enemy of the people' - because they constantly report what he doesn't like.

Since the November election, many have shockingly capitulated but many remain. The NYT, for example, publishes negative news and criticisms of Trump and Israel daily.

> The more i think about it, the less difference i see.

You haven't established much of anything. Much of the comment doesn't make sense. Where is the Russian NYT? Which American journalists are in jail?
The whole point is that Adobe's AI doesn't do this, yet is still hated. It reveals that some people simply hate the whole concept of generative AI, regardless of how it was made. You're never going to please them.

> deeply far-left and anti-Israel (the two go together)

Ah, so now you're just pivoting to "left-leaning means untrue/ propaganda".

And since you just ignored BI and GSSR, I assume you don't have anything to counter that.

In the end, you're nothing but a propagandist pushing pro-Israel narratives through opinion pieces and actual propaganda sites like Daily Wire.

No allegations beaten, as usual.

> Isarel accidentally kills civilians, which is virtually unavoidable in urban warfare.

Israel's false narrative of civilian casualty minimization has completely collapsed (not least of all because they have now cut off all supplies for 2 months, and publicly discussed removing all Palestinians from Gaza (ethnic cleansing), and the international community is wise to it, which is why Israel is now having to literally paint anyone and everyone from the UN, the ICC, HRW, the Red Cross/ Red Crescent, food aid programs, news orgs from every country, people from every end of the political spectrum, and just literally anyone who questions their narrative, as liars and propagandists. Look at the comments here if you doubt that people have wisened up.
I wont pretend to downplay these issues, I do however absolutely share screenshare in the zoom web page thing.
WebRTC is amazing! I think it might be helpful for some younger folks if you talked about UDP, I realize it's maybe a bit "weird" - however coming from the UDP world helped me think about all the ways WebRTC can be used. I think it's one of the most underrated and underutilized technologies.
I'm curious, did Palantir get the deal because of the close connections with Musk and J.D. Vance and Trump or were they genuinely the best company for this role?
If you are talking about Khalil, he didn't just speak against Israel, it seems like his role in an org which openly supported Hamas may have played a part but didn't matter legally. The legal issue was that he left out facts on his green card application.

I am 100% sure that support of terrorist orgs can invalidate your green card.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-administration-claims-palest...

> According to recent court filings, President Donald Trump's administration said Khalil failed to disclose when applying for his green card last year that his employment by the Syria Office at the British Embassy in Beirut went "beyond 2022" and that he was a "political affairs officer" for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees from June to November 2023.

> "Regardless of his allegations concerning political speech, Khalil withheld membership in certain organizations and failed to disclose continuing employment by the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he submitted his adjustment of status application. It is black-letter law that misrepresentations in this context are not protected speech," the government said in the filing.

Most of these things are not black/white. We should wait for all the facts to come out.

I’m in the camp that believes that it’s neither necessary nor desirable to hold humans and software to the same standard of law. Society exists for our collective benefit and we make concessions with each other to ensure it functions smoothly and I don’t think those concessions should necessarily extend to automated processes even if they do in fact mimic humans for the myriad ways in which they differ from us.
Have you also done these things in the US? I have heard this sentiment that the German system is far and above the more bureaucratic before, but for all I know, Americans could just be relatively complacent in comparison to Germans and our systems function nearly identically. I’d like to hear from someone if they have been through both processes first hand who could answer this question.

Americans constantly complain about the tax system and, like them or not in practice, a lot of US citizens on both sides of the aisle believe in one of the stated goals of DOGE (previously named the US Digital Service).

This is a conspiracy theory - they are secretly conspiring. Do you have evidence of this conspiracy actually happening on any scale?

Many attended the same universities on all sides of politics and issues. The universities are big places that have been operating for generations. Ask someone who went to a university - do they know and agree with everyone else who went there? It's absurd.

You need to do more than throw around stereotypes. Give us some evidence.

Who asked permission?
"if your application requires a non-standard custom solution, then you should use the WebTransport API"

That's a pretty convincing use-case. Why use something standard if it can be non-standard custom instead!
Exactly, it's the "they're the same anyway", "both sides" equivalency that allows the buildup of antidemocratic de-politicization and apathy. This is one of the goals of the _there_is_no_truth_ radicalization that is fundamental to Russian political control
I don't know, I'm not part of those groups. But my automatic assumption isn't they're a bunch of antisemites or hamas supporters.
Discord and Slack do the article's suggestion of using web sockets for the receiving side only (mostly) and having you switch to http on the calling side. It works pretty well, you have to keep two sets of books but the web socket side is almost always for events that you, the client, should be responding to so it works somewhat like a reverse http but that works with your firewall. It also allows Discord to implement trivial, from the client's perspective, sharding. It really is clever as hell, scaling up a bot/integration is as easy as just turning on sharding and launching multiple instances of your bot. It handles spreading events across them.

The author throws away their own suggestion but it clearly works, works well, and scales well into "supermassive" size. They don't even mention the real downside to web sockets which is that they're stateful and necessarily tied to a particular server which makes them not mesh at all with your stateless share-nothing http servers.
Yes, these all are wars, conflicts and massacres that have already happened and we can do nothing about. The current atrocitiy against the palestinians needs to be stopped. I'll ask you again do you believe the side with the most innocent suffering deserves the most support.

PS. I am not on the "side" of israel or palestine, if Israel were to have these numbers and systemic colonialist oppression I would jump to supporting them and pushing for humanitarian support. I just recognise the moral reality of the situation. Me, and most people like me, are on the side of humanitarianism, because all lives are equal, and so are all deaths.
Recall sounds like the kind of innovation that would come from the Trump administration or the DOGE team. Except I can't imagine the Trump administration would be this creative.
I wonder how much of it is just social upbringing I see a lot of people who are from Asia or outside of America make a lot more closer friends than Americans
I just realized that modern web applications are a group form of procrastination. Procrastination is a complex thing. But essentially, it's putting something off because of some perceived pain, even though the thing may be important or even inevitable, and eventually the procrastination leads to negative outcomes.

Web applications were created because people were averse to creating native applications, for fear of the pain involved with creating and distributing native applications. They were so averse to this perceived pain that they've done incredibly complex, even bizarre things, just so they don't have to leave the web browser. WebSockets are one of those things: taking a stateless client-server protocol (HTTP) and literally forcing it to turn into an entirely new protocol (WebSockets) just so people could continue to do things in a web browser that would have been easy in a native application (bidirectional stateful sockets, aka a tcp connection).

I suppose this is a normal human thing. Like how we created cars to essentially have a horseless buggy. Then we created paved roads to make that work easier. Then we built cities around paved roads to keep using the cars. Then we built air-scrubbers into the cars and changed the fuel formula when we realized we were poisoning everyone. Then we built electric cars (again!) to try to keep using the cars without all the internal combustion issues. Then we built self-driving cars because it would be easier than expanding regional or national public transportation.

We keep doing the easy thing, to avoid the thing we know we should be doing. And avoiding it just becomes a bigger pain in the ass.
Palestinian violence predates the 1967 and 1948. Also Gaza wasn't occupied since Israel left it in 2005.

Here's is one example from 1954 when Israel did not control Gaza or the West Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma%27ale_Akrabim_massacre

"The Ma'ale Akrabim massacre, known in English as the Scorpions Pass Massacre, was an attack on an Israeli passenger bus, carried out on 17 March 1954, in the middle of the day. Eleven passengers were shot dead by the attackers who ambushed and boarded the bus. One passenger died 32 years later of his injuries, in a state of paralysis and partial consciousness. Four passengers survived, two of whom had been injured by the gunmen."

Palestinians are largely in the reality they're in due to the violence.
Frankly, I just assumed AI generated code would be treated with the same suspicion as human code and reviewed.
That’s the truth, if we remain silent we will be targeted eventually. I am extremely disappointed by the lack of tech colleagues calling this out. I took an oath of ethics to do no harm and I see many people willing to use technology to find and silence critics of the government.
Clownflare: Conquering the web by backdooring one site at a time!
This is why I chose a thinkpad for my laptop: I knew I wanted to switch to linux eventuality, and lenovo is very linux friendly. Many of these issues exist (or are exacerbated) because the hardware drivers don't support linux the way they support windows.

I absolutely agree, linux advocates must be honest about the shortcomings. In my case even on the thinkpad I experience the multi display scaling issue you mentioned, and bluetooth can be a little finnicky for my headphone (though this is much better than a couple years back! Usually simoly restarting the headphone solves everything).

I think it's very much worth it, and other than some of those minor issues I think current linux distributions are good enough to wholeheartedly recommend them over windows. That is if you're not held hostage by some windows only software.

It’s not true because throwing a video file as a source on video tag has no information about the file being requested until the headers are pushed down.

And then it turns out that having taken bits and bites out of my entire mortal day, to pursue this pointless argument with you, was just what I needed even if nothing at all what I wanted. It put me in a state of mind where I could find some kind words to say to my family that I think some folks there may have been quite a bit, if in a small way, needing to hear for a while.

That's not even slightly to your credit, of course. But I can't fairly say you weren't involved, and I have to admit I genuinely appreciate this result, however inadvertent and I'm sure unimaginable on your part it may be. So, though I say it through gritted teeth, thank you for your time. If for absolutely nothing else whatsoever, for that at least I must express my genuine gratitude.

Intolerable though you've been throughout, and despite what I assume to have been your every intention, something good may yet come of your ill efforts. You deserve to know that. May it heap as many coals of fire on your head as your heart should prove small enough to deserve.

Again there is no "colonialist oppression". Israel was formed in 1948 under fire. 5 to 7 Arab countries attacked the Jews when this country was formed. Why? Why didn't they attack Lebanon when they were formed? or Iraq? or Syria? They were formed by the same colonial powers that formed Israel? Why were Jews not allowed to buy land in their "Mecca"? You're speaking nonsense. Again, you are ignoring what is happening here. Israel did not attack anyone. They were attacked by Hamas, and this is not the first time. Israel left Gaza in 2005, Hamas got elected 2006 and ever since it has been nonstop attacks on Israel. Israel tried to avoid wars by "mowing the lawn" which meant small strategic strikes to try and quell the attacks. After oct 7 it just became clear that they cannot leave Hamas in power. If you truly wanted peace you would turn your attention to Hamas not Israel. You would not overlook the fact that Hamas has embedded itself in the civilian population for the past 16 years, that has indoctrinated the Palestinians to hate Israelis and Jews, trained soldiers, child soldiers, embedded their munitions in civilian structures, hospitals, mosques, schools, built tunnels under the entierty of Gaza. How are you overlooking all of this?
