Another very cool project in this space is TRX, which is based on a decompilation of the original Tomb Raider 1 & 2 source code:

https://github.com/LostArtefacts/TRX

Of the various Tomb Raider fan engine projects, this is basically the "vanilla, but modernized and well-maintained" historical archival option.

I contributed the MacOS port to this one, and last year I dabbled a little in porting an older random git snapshot to the web:

https://eikehein.com/stuff/sabatu/ (using a fan level, as to not post the original game content online)

It's a very rough hack, so it's not upstream at the moment.

The TRX team is a wonderful and passionate bunch of people to hang around.
I feel in rust you want to be a lot more judicious in where you introduce and deal with traits than in other languages with interfaces. Author blames lifetimes for this but I think the truth is that it is because there is no garbage collector so not everything is a fat pointer and fat pointers cannot have generic methods anyways because generic methods are monomorphized so they feel a bit lame even if you would reach for them.

Thus you almost certainly need parametric polymorphism whereas other languages described would use implementation/interface/inheritance/duck polymorphism. Parametric polymorphism explodes rapidly if you aren't judicious and it doesn't feel very agile.

Once you are dealing in traits, does that trait have a copy bound or am I going to need to take a borrow and also grab a lifetime next to my trait parameter? Or should I just hide it all by slapping my mock with an `impl Trait for Arc<RefCell<Mock>>` or equivalent?
> Original article definitely said "per person".

Yes, not your fault, I believe the AUTHOR meant to compare absolute production.

> China allocates much more to industry and/because it allocates much less to personal consumption

Let's not fall into the same hole: In relative terms, US residential is more than 2x of China's residential power use, but that's relative to the much larger production use. In absolute terms their residential power-allocation is not that different actually:

CN: 15% (1.2 trillion kWh)

US: 35% (1.46 trillion kWh)

Now, on a per-capita basis the difference is staggering, as China consumes 20% less to serve 4x the population...

>No, OP lamented that a "connection interruption" means you "lose" messages. You were participating in a conversation, but you don't receive the whole conversation because your connection was interrupted.

Again, I know this. And please don't mis-quote OP, they clearly said "miss", just like I said.

I've told you twice, now, that you're focusing so much on the technical aspect of a connection that you are completely missing the philosophical idea I have very clearly, also twice, suggested. How IRC works, on mobile and on desktop, is not the point. I don't know how else to explain myself, so I'm gonna move on. Hope you have a pleasant day.

Edit: For posterity's sake, OP's quote at the time of this this post is...

I really feel like this article should also mention the rate of formation of new stars. According to [1] Universe Magazine the James Webb telescope has revealed that more than 3,000 stars are formed every second.

You might clarify "domestic peace". America has been one of the most secure nations in history from large-scale domestic invasion (it's essentially never happened: Pearl Harbor, isolated terrorist attacks, and "open borders" don't come close). That said, it has virtually always been actively involved in foreign conflicts and shadow wars during its 250 year history.

And yes, it's domestic security that enables long-term investment in science.
It is hilarious what does, and does not, get flagged on this website in 2025.

The other day on /active, there was a story about a French politician being banned from running for office, due to being convicted of outright fraud for the second time. Absolutely nothing to do with technology or business, nothing to do with the USA. Pure politics in a foreign country. Not flagged.

There was a story directly below which involved the USA, technology and business, but had an uncomfortable narrative for some users. Flagged.

As someone who still likes this site a lot, this just makes me laugh at this point. I don't know how else to react.
I mean...the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is really clear, and the Democrats have weaponized it to help the constituencies they're pursuing. Whether that's morally correct or not is beside the point, because that's not why the party machine is doing it. They've institutionalized racism and sexism at a scale we haven't seen since the civil rights movement brought merit ("...by the content of their character.") to the fore.

Interesting proposal, I can see myself using this.
It is if war is in the future. And I’m not saying this as hyperbole but based on statements made by NATO secretary general (both Rutte, previously Stoltenberg and former General Bauer) about Russia’s military production outproducing NATO, or Finish President Stubb speaking on the powers of the world shifting and the need to ramp production which were echo’d recently by Macron, or the Arctic region soon to become a contested region with China and Russia attempting to stake their influence in the area which is obviously at conflict with the personal interests of the other countries in the region.
It seems obvious to me that the world is a bit hotter than before 2022, with the likelihood of some conflict between powers of the world coming to pass being greater.
If production of raw materials to usable materials is all contained within countries that are deemed to be unfriendly by the one lacking this production capability, it’s a clearly in their vested interested to not be in that situation.
Only problem is there is a seemingly idiotic US administration attempting to address these deficiencies, unless there’s some weird 4D chess play going on, but I’m not convinced it’s that.

I did try a boatload of OTC products, and eventually went to a generalist and then a specialist when it became severe and chronic. The OTC products recommend that on their labels. I now manage it with careful diet and a daily dose of polyethylene glycol.
I guess, like the rest of the positive comments, they conflate quantity of choice with quality of choice. I stopped buying stuff online mostly a few years back, covid completely destroyed my trust in online retailers, especially ones with China backed products.

I don't get the desire to pollute some other country just so one can have a hobby, go volunteer at a shelter or something useful.

Externalizing our negativity got the US pretty far, and if walking that back sucks for most people because they're used to buying literal land fill, then that's too bad.
Is it a SaaS? Phone app? Hardware device? Not looking for specifics, just intrigued by your post to understand what tech category the product is.
The author is silently switching between two definitions of "argument" depending on which point he's trying to make. An argument with a toddler is about whether they should brush their teeth, put their toys away, or stop sending American citizens to El Salvadorian prison camps. You win the argument if they do those things. And you can win some of those arguments, by ethos, pathos, logos, deal-making, bribery, or force.

That's not the same kind of argument where people are trying to change their minds. Those are the ones you can't win or lose, because "changing your mind" is not black and white. I've had plenty of arguments where my understanding changed by a few inches, and their understanding changed by a few inches, but we were still far apart in our opinions. That's fine! That's a successful argument.

The author's world is one where there are two takes on every topic and one person is arguing Black and the other is arguing White and you should flip to the other binary sometimes when you're wrong. No. If your opinions are regularly flipping from one binary to the other, then your opinions suck. The world is much more complicated than that. Opinions are much more contextual than that. I'm never going to switch from "evolution is real" to "all life was custom-built by God" after a conversation with one person -- no matter how persuasive they are -- because my belief that evolution is real is not that fragile. It's intertwined with all my other understandings about how the world works, and I can't just flip it independently of other things. My goal when I have an argument is to improve my understanding of the world just a little bit, even if it's merely "why do people believe this shit?" If the person I'm arguing with isn't trying to do the same, they're the only one that's losing.
> The problem and its underlying factors are so obvious to me that I'm constantly amazed to see well-informed, intelligent people who don't seem to understand it.

Do you understand that labor is priced into the cost of the product? Who is going to buy all of these American products made by highly paid unionized workers?

I understand the Rust Belt situation sucks, but people can’t afford to buy everyday consumer goods made with American labor. I’m wearing an American made pair of shoes right now that is 20-30x more expensive
than a pair of shoes from Walmart, and even ‘less expensive’ US made shoes like Red Wing are 10-15x as expensive. Now imagine paying 10-30x more for everything, it’s not sustainable.

I've never looked closely at Nim because I think I don't need another fast GC language in addition to Go. What's your pitch for someone like me?
I think that's aligns with what GP is saying: if one is going to say people are using it, even if for things you don't like, then choosing to call it vapourware in the same paragraph is a confusing use of the term.

In a charitable reading I think the author was meaning something along the lines of "fails to be as useful as made to sound on things I think are worth valuing but very useful for things I think are slop" but chose a different meaning term by mistake.

In the same vein, I've been keen to try out "What would the world look like if..." and then show that we do or do not observe related phenomena. It seems like the best way to meet someone on their terms (because they get to write the "rules" of the world) and then you just apply them towards one conclusion or another. But I haven't had enough exposure to really test this out.
> In that sense yes, doing „low tech“ is valuable in the long run.

Sure. But how much tax money do you want to throw at entire industries to hide the basic fact that wages are lower elsewhere? Where do you want to take the labor away from? And where do you draw the essential/wasted subsidies boundary line?

Because in my view, Trump tariffs just ignore those very basic questions and don't even attempt to answer them.

It's perfectly reasonable IMO to throw 20 billion a year to agriculture, because that is a very essential sector. But doing the same for the textile industry? Ore/Oil refining? Steelworks? Chemical plants?

I don't wanna subsidies 20 non-essential industries just so that some former fast-food worker can assemble overpriced shoes inside the US (and labor demand from all those industries would drive up wages/costs in the fast-food sector, too, thanks to the Baumol effect).

I'm not against nurturing some important local industries, but Trump tariffs are a complete failure at achieving that IMO.
> Toddlers (which includes defensive bureaucrats, bullies, flat earthers, folks committed to a specific agenda and radio talk show hosts) may indicate that they’d like to have an argument, but they’re actually engaging in connection, noise, play acting or a chance to earn status. It can be fun to be in opposition, to harangue or even to use power to change someone’s position.

Honestly, this article is now very good, because he doesn't seem to realize one of the most common reasons for "folks committed to a specific agenda" to play-act an "argument" (or a "discussion" or a "conversion") is persuasion, and not any of the other childish things he outlines.

Maybe he spends to much time in immature online spaces.
> I am not holding onto my “already made up” position that dearly.

Perhaps this is just semantics, then? I wouldn't make up my mind until there is effectively no chance of there being an alternative I've overlooked. I'm confident enough in the available information to make up my mind that 1+1 does equal 2 (a topic I would find no interest in discussing further at this point; there is good reason we don't sit around all day talking about that), but for most things I don't have a mind made.

If you can't hold it dearly, is your mind really made?
Left-wingers appoint left-leaning judges; right-wingers appoint right-leaning ones. Are you somehow asserting that left-wing is a "ground truth" and that only the right is partisan?

I prefer these thought police to the thought police we had previously.

The "diversity" thought police had very strong views about what the only acceptable thoughts were. These people are like, "if we could get it up to 30% that would be a huge victory". Actual diversity in thought at top American universities would be a boon.

Radiation risk assessment have been modernized less than DARE propaganda.

The Linear No-Threshold LNT hypothesis/model is still the fundament of all radiation protection theory and the modeling used in it.

The problem with using that is that since twenty years back we've known that both antioxidant activity and DNA-repair and protection mechanisms do not scale linearly.

Meaning that a more correct approximation of reality would be using a Non-Linear With-Threshold model.

But because our culture of permanent radiation hysteria we're paralyzed when it comes to changing the overarching guidelines, even when everyday practice have practically left it behind.
DHH is always amusing in that there are times when I think he's totally spot on, and there are times when I have to laugh and shake my head, as the words that he spouts sound intelligent, but are abjectly off-base. On the subject of ADHD, this feels squarely in the latter.

I received an ADHD diagnosis a few years ago, into my late 30's, after struggling through and relishing the superpowers of my own behavior. I was suspected of having AD(H)D as a kid, and was assessed but ultimately didn't get a diagnosis. It also turns out that, being a life long technologist, you put me in front of a computer to do an assessment and I will hyperfixate on it because I was given yet another opportunity to be between chair and keyboard. Wild.

I do find that medication helps me. So does structure, and external pressures that help conform me to a healthy routine. Most importantly though, I'm incredibly interest-driven. If I am uninterested in actually solving the problem, it requires moving mountains to convince me that I actually should. Medication is a tool that helps me to do things that suck with less mental effort.

It's not about wanting to eat stimulants for fun. Hell, aside from caffeine, I'd never had a stimulant before starting my meds. And yeah, when I first started taking it, I was high as a kite. But once I leveled off, the new normal was good. It's not a silver bullet - healthy habits, and setting myself up for success are essential, and no amount of meds compensate for when I fall out of a healthy groove. But it has helped.

I'm not a psychiatrist, let alone medically trained at all, so unlike DHH I don't feel like I'm capable of commenting as to whether ADHD diagnoses in kids and providing them access to medications is the right call. What I can say though is that had I had better support as a kid to learn self-reflection, I think I would have been more aware of what I needed to be successful and could have muscled through my younger years with a little less stress and confusion.

You underestimate how insane the power requirements of a high-g launch are. Placing one ton into orbit requires a rocket with close to 1GW peak power output (this is only a very rough figure that depends on mass ratio, thrust and exhaust velocity). Delivering this much power over 20 miles, even at 1MV, would take about a ton of aluminium wire (again, very roughly). The weight grows quadratically from there -- delivering this much power 200 mi downrange to the upper stage would take 100 tons, even setting aside all the other technical challenges. And this is where we actually want this power delivered -- we don't need to increase the ISP of the first stage, as it is mostly wasted in the exhaust anyway. An ISP above the capability of chemical propulsion is beneficial in the upper stage only.

If that is their goal, should they even be classified as a university? Formal education that the government regulate has different goals from non-formal and informal education. If the goal is to be a primer for leaders, then they can be that without mixing it with formal education.

If we want the selection process of future leaders to be government regulated under formal education, then we should have a discussion on how such system should look like. The current system is a bit like the old fraternal groups, with the admission system being relocated to the university admission board. There should be better way to select future leaders.
There aren't fixed rules, even to the degree to which there are such rules for other grammatical questions in English. Much of comma usage comes down to preference.

I think part of why we've shifted so strongly against their use is because if you leave it up to taste, as had previously been common, most people make poor choices.

It's funny because even as we've moved away from prescriptivism, the "rules" around comma usage have tightened and people have gotten quicker to call a given previously-common usage incorrect.
The moment due process breaks down -- even for actual infractions of the law -- that means everyone (you and I included) has lost due process.
