Which is ironic because they manage our time for us to force us to have less of it.

This website does not appear to render the games it claims to on Firefox Mobile

This is his domain. His domain is cyberattacks. This is 100% about cyberattacks. Sure some people are playing politics with it, but it is his domain more than the politicians.

Of thr people mentioned here, we have one of the world's foremost security experts, and a fox news host making a decision about cyber security. There is no evidence that the fox news host's experience is more relevant to this domain.

> I think it boils down to the fact that intelligent, curious discussion on topics like this can’t be held on the internet.

They definitely can be. Usually, moderators dont want to deal with the shit slinging that comes with them though, and many intelligent people are too sensitive to allow bigotry and hateful comments to be allowed to be hosted.

I miss the old days where anything goes, and if you don't like it just close the browser. Better than censorship and sanitization.

It is in the US

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem" - Gabe Newell, owner of Valve, the most profitable per employee company.

They don't need to block anything, they need to stop screwing over consumers.

> My hand is usually already on the mouse. Switching apps, scrolling text etc.

When using Linux my hand is almost never on the mouse and I groan when I have to do it. My terminal, browser experience, mp3 player, IRC client, etc, are all usable with only a key board. Even rearranging windows is just a keyboard action.

Even on windows, I can't remember the last time I switched windows with a mouse instead of alt tab. Scrolling text is just pressing j in vimium or even in vanilla chrome just pressing spacebar. If your hand is on the mouse that much you're probably not being optimal

I definitely don't want to move to a system where making a website needs both a government and a private corporation vouching for you. That's the worst case scenario.

This does not work when the mouse is actually at 0,0

The vast majority of vending machines in Japan are allmost as deep as American counterparts. And even if not, maybe we could just have more thin vending machines here.

Also the zoning issue is just a very clear policy failure. I don't think even the most hardcore NIMBY suburbanites would complain about being able to get meat and dairy steps from their front door in an automated low traffic fashion.

He effectively pretended to be dumb. And that included using the wrong "you're" and very simple dialects of English and mannerisms which he thought could potentially be seen as disparaging some groups.

I think it was so generic and so clearly a joke it would be insane to pretend it was making fun of a group that existed in real life.

For reference in the talk he also listed strongly typed languages as "weekly typed", static as dynamic, and had a MacBook on stage display a BSOD.

The talk was comedic genius and a fun tongue in cheek commentary on the industry in 8 minutes. But it has been deemed to dangerous to society to be allowed to exist.

Modern board game design didn't really exist until the 2000s, aside from chess and go and wargames that are too complex for 99% of "hardcore boardgamers" there are almost no games worth mentioning from before this century.

NYC is arguably more walkable than anywhere in Japan outside of Tokyo, or in my opinion including Tokyo, but it doesn't have 0.1% of the vending machines as suburban Japan.

Also, what we would call non walkable suburbs or rural areas in Japan have more vending machines than anywhere in America as well.

By your logic your comment is red, since it's written in words and words can be read.

Pretty nothingburger article aside from the headline and pictures.

What is the top speed? How do the workers cross the track of the coaster that spans both sides of a hallway? What are the impacts on office traffic?

The article mentions that there were challenges that they overcame, but it doesn't detail any of the challenges or their solutions.

Pure fluff piece. Definitely does not belong on hacker news. Clearly has only received votes because people that happen to be in the same building type on a computer sometimes.

By your own logic, do you tip every grocery store cashier? Do you tip your landlord? Do you tip the toll collector on the highway?

Tipping everybody who you hand cash to is crazy. And the US is the only place where you have to do it for a large percentage of that population.

His "using you're types good" talk being censored is my go-to example for how "cancel culture" and "wokeness" has gone too far, a good useful talk not meant to be harmful to anybody, with no evidence that anybody was hurt by it, is removed from the world for the far reaching fear that one day some person might not be happy about it.

The fact that years later people still want to learn from it and nobody has every talked about it being an issue shows we have gone too far as a society on the side of caution and never doing anything that wouldn't stand up to a fortune 10 HR exec panel.

I worked on the GPay flutter rewrite and our standard for accessibility was higher than almost any other app I've seen, and was a significant amount of effort spent on that. What accessibility shortcomings does flutter have?

Not a Pyramid scheme, that's for sure because that's a concept, which means it's not 3D.

Then why are there so few? And containing such a small variety of goods?

In Japan anywhere from a busy subway to a remote park, there will be rows of vending machines everywhere, with more varieties of sodas, coffees, soups, ice creams, candies, hell even clothes or meat! And those are just the common types. You're never far from what you want in an automated fashion.

Why are we so behind in America when there seemingly is excess on the supply side for the chance to supply more goods and deploy more machines, and demand on the consumer side for better, more convenient, more available, and more varied vending machines goods?

I wish the article explained how it dealt with message loss from the at-most-once redis pub/sub channel

I would disagree, BGG favors simple games. There is not a single hex and chit game in the top 100. Not a single 18xx game in the top 100, and I think that entire genre could fill up 20 of the top 25 if not penalized for their complexity.

BGG is allergic to any complex games. Your mental model of BGG rankings is incorrect, the number of ratings is more important than the average rating as long as that rating is reasonably high. 10,000 players giving a game and 8 or 9 will rank higher than a game that 200 players gave a 10.

Your link uses the weight score, but the problem is the concept of "weight" is ambiguous and non-normalized. For players that play complex games, a normal hex and chit game or 18xx game would be a weight of 3 or 4, so that's what those games are rated at. For the average BGG user, a game from either of those genres would be a 5 or even past that in their mental model, but they don't play complex games so only mid to mid-high complexity games get rated a 5 weight on BGG. Your third party analysis still falls victim to both this bias and the problem of only looking at popular (which also means non-complex) games

Despite the unfurled title "Welcome to Crokinole, the greatest game you've never heard of."

1. I have heard of it

2. It's not the best game I've heard of

3. It's almost definitely not the best game I haven't heard of

4. It's still a pretty good game

I hate outrageous titles that are just designed to provoke outrage or curiousity while being untrue.

The functionality is a small screen with a timer and a few API calls to set the timer for you sometimes. $189 for a timer is not a lot of functionality for more than 1% of the annual salary of a minimum wage worker. You can get a full android phone for that much which has 10000x the functionality.

So because everyone wants to make profit, nobody can complain about any prices regardless of how insane they are? What kind of logic is that?

Not for $189

Drive around some of Vegas and say that all the old incandescent lights and neon are just pollution. Some of it, designed just for eyeballs and profit, actually ends up being beautiful.

Why are you bootlicking for trillion dollar corporations? I would think on a forum this technical you could realize that the dynamic of and the philosophy behind these TOS's is not laudable.

I haven't used Vega in probably close to a decade, but I remember when I was working with it, it was often extremely limited and rigid compared to D3. Only maybe 10% of the time could Vega be used for our use cases. Overall, the work to support both Vega and D3 ended up being more troublesome than just using D3 for all visualizations
