    Very Good News. It’s possible San Francisco could be saved, we just need to do another 50 things just like this.

    The algorithm says we’ve been gone too long. Sorry, we’ve been building epic machines… Installed our 3.2-gen electrochemical stack, which, along with our DAC Carbon Salvage prototype, is now hooked up to our fuel extraction system

    Have the articles about public health experts/officials feeling impostor syndrome started rolling out yet or is it still too fresh?

    Starbase is extremely impressive. There is a lot of bemoaning that we culturally can't build physical things anymore, but this is China Speed and then some. Rows of engines, hangars full of structures, 24/7 shifts -- it is a sight to behold.

    Apparently, Intel's next generation desktop processors do not have AVX-512 support.

    Phones with all sorts of software features, but nothing that would affect the actual problems we have, like, say "it costs 5 cents to call me" (or email me).

    Banks that call you on the phone before shutting off your account, to verify the transaction, not realizing that nobody answers the phone any more because there is so much god damn spam.

    Banks that don't stop a fraudulent transaction made by electronic check by someone in Erewhon, but then will shut off your card or online account every time you try to send money to someone new, even if this was authenticated by a physical security token.

    Auto-complete that is too eager, intercepting what you meant to type and "completing" it with something else. Auto-profiling that tells you your variable declaration took <1ms to complete. Auto-memory-management that loads all the memory into cache so your process can exit.

    Toilets that automatically flush at the wrong time. Autocorrect that makes your sentences incorrect or nonsensical, while being too haughty to provide an easy undo. Auto-punctuation that puts ' ") } exactly where you don't want it, making more work and preventing touch-typing.

    We've been running on 20th century fumes. All major Western powers need deep reform. Two areas of focus should be: 1. Improving quality of ruling class. 2. Restructuring key bureaucracies. Economics are bad, but we're not yet at a point where addressing those is practical.

    When I started making this compiler, I made the explicit decision to use correct grammar in all error messages, avoiding the caveman-esque traffic sign language that is traditional. I still accidentally do it all the time, sometimes not noticing for months. Brainwashed...

    This is basically how I program 99% of the time.

    (This is no disrespect to Mike or any proponent of ECS systems; they are doing what appears to make sense in their environment. But if you are a small indie making your own engine, it is very important to realize that your environment is different from that one.)

    ECS *only* starts to make sense when you are big enough to have multiple teams, with one team building the engine and the other using the engine to make the game; or you are an engine company and your customer makes the game. If that is not your situation, do not rathole.

    I went on Hacker News to post that indie developers should not pay attention to ECS stuff, but the Wisdom of the HN Crowd already had me covered... womp womp

    Should I do a fun stream tonight about getting the date in different languages, and asking people how to do the months/days/time formatting/etc in their language?

    There actually *is* a response you can give, to a contract like this, that will likely result in the publisher negotiating reasonably. Not giving this response is a tell that the developer is inexperienced at business and likely can be snowed.
