If at some point you have a cycle, you can then reparent and remove the cycle, right? This structure in general then can encode transitive relations effectively?

Something like “a and b …” “b and c …” “c and a …”.

I could have done this for like $50…

"No code"? Yes.

I was reading and laughing, wondering if HN was taking this seriously. It’s a decent logo IMO (though I think it’s unpopular) but obviously the paper is filled to the brim with complete bullshit, LOL. The Pepsi galaxy at the end is what really got me.

Just use common sense and first principles and you can make a logo. Make sure it doesn’t look like a you-know-what and you’re golden.

You’re right. That makes sense. I’ve been out of web dev for about 4 years so I’m just reactionary now I guess.

I don't know why but front-end terminology always makes me cringe. I know it's useful jargon. I don't know why I have a visceral distaste for them. Maybe because it feels like taking a small, simple thing and making it seem like it's something more.

But you're right. I haven't done much front-end at large scales. Only at one employer for a short while.

"Prop drilling". So many buzzwords. SSR, Hydration, Tree shaking, Hot module reload.

How has web development gotten here? It just seems to have evolved so much needless complexity to me.

Don't forget about web components! Integrated into the platform.

It's been around for a few years now.

I love open world games. Game developers, please make more, more, more.

Personally I'd like to see more of the triumphing and less of the "shock appeal" adversity in much modern media.

You're right. It's a low-effort, cheap way to add "authenticity" to a work without putting in the effort to construct a relevant allegory or something else whose "authenticity" is born out of its elucidation of the truth.

It's just violence transformed to scratch even more of that itch for the modern generations.

Sometimes I get the feeling that those who aren't "suffering" are now condemned as "privileged", completing negating the essence of humanism and liberalism; it's a crime to be _seen_ as living a happy life (while we all know that every person has had their own personal struggles and anyways it's none of our business).

This is wild. I had no idea the game was like this. Now I’m feeling inspired to finish that browser strategy game I started a few years ago.

It’s certainly a privilege to be generous, almost by definition; you have to _have_ in order to _give_, abstractly. Whether the currency is in the form of self-esteem, wealth, status, etc.

One of the most important things I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older. I just lived in my comfortable bubble growing up so of course it was easy to be “nice”. Of course I still believe we should always maintain a civil standard, but I understand now rudeness’ usually sad origins so to speak (emotional pain from abuse, life, whatever).

I’m not a scientist, but wouldn’t it make sense for standard practice to be to assume at first that there’s a shared variable (that you have introduced) and to look for it until you’re certain the things you’re plotting are independent? Of course they may not be in the end as that’s the “goal”, but the shared variable if there is indeed causation in that case will be what you’re looking for, not one of the variables you “know”.

That’s what I was thinking; if the average is about constant all you’ve shown is that everyone is bad at self-assessment (another issue - not fully qualifying a distribution by just using the average loses information).

But a comment above quoting the more recent paper presents a contradictory conclusion: that humans can self-assess with some accuracy. So now I’m confused again.

Restore their stars! Restore their stars!

Someone noted this in a thread on Reddit. Will be very funny to see the political spectrum reflect on this; suddenly many crying first amendment will be taking the position you quoted while some of those there now will may perhaps argue for Twitter to become a subsidiary of PBS (joking).

I think one of the articles shared here recently mentioned that dogs are the best animal proxy model for understanding mental illness due to their similarity to humans. Dogs' domestication is the oldest by far of any living mammal. I believe that canines and humans had similar basic social structures and that eased their integration. Dogs are basically a humanized species.

Is that your tool? Do you use puppeteer on the backend or similar?

Good point.

I also feel you there.

I think a web browser is particularly suited to a large number of developers, like an OS, since it has so many components from different threads of software development (networking, parsing, JS + WASM Engine, layout & graphics, text shaping, font rendering, GUI). Further, the top level components are easy to decompose again (layout engine, composite engine, SVG renderer, CSS effect renderer - for example).

A modular browser would be nice - where custom components can be swapped in for certain functionality (layout, networking, JS engine, CSS engine, renderers for various MIME types).

I'm certain there is plenty of ability out there; the components of a browser span many types of software (networking, parsing, graphics, text shaping, font rendering, JS and WASM execution engines, GUI), so from the get-go it would be easy to divide up the work at a high level and find programmers with experience in the particular sector.

Makes me want to write a CMS/site builder. Node? Deno? Decisions decisions.

I wonder why people haven’t made a stand-alone game using the creation kit. I assume it’s not allowed in the ToS. But aside from that there would be nothing stopping you from creating a game from scratch with your own data files, right?

I like Adderall. What's like Adderall?

I love the todo list at the bottom.

I replied to your other post but I’d also like to say: there is too much of a focus IMO on getting in to the “good” schools right out of HS. I remember a genius physics grad TA I had who went from community college to the UIUC graduate physics program. Undergrad education is pretty similar across the board; after all, the infamous US news rankings refer to the graduate programs (which can have ramifications for the quality of undergrad of course).

Anyways my point is that I think smart and capable people with hard work and persistence can end up at similar places when all is said and done even if they don’t start out at a “top” program.

35 ACT and he was rejected to University of Minnesota? Tell your kid that he’s perfectly fine and that their admissions are FUBAR.

Try UIUC (my alma). Though I was in-state. It’s gotten more selective but a top one for CS. They admitted me into CE but it was easy to transfer after doing well in my first few CS classes.
