I was surprised not to see Sensible Soccer here, it was massive in the 90's (at least in the UK). Turns out it was never released as an arcade cabinet. I think they missed a trick there, it was arcade style and a lot of…
Disagree on that vibe. The museums are usually free in London, for example. Haven't seen that in many other cities.
As you have it there, "but" would mean the latter is an unfortunate consequence or side-effect of the former, and you're getting both. Whereas "than" would mean you're getting the former and not the latter.
(Assuming you meant "than" rather than "but") You could argue the opposite, it's social media that's creating a society of adults wearing mental diapers. This article is excellent:…
FYI you can also play it in the browser, although it's the DOS version: https://playclassic.games/games/simulation-dos-games-online/...
Minor point, but one of the complaints is a bit odd: > curl -X POST https://backboard.railway.app/graphql/v2 \ -H "Authorization: Bearer [token]" \ -d '{"query":"mutation { volumeDelete(volumeId: \"3d2c42fb-...\") }"}'…
The GitHub repo also seems to be archived.
This looks interesting! As a Go user I definitely see the value in boring but predictable languages. Does Rox have any support for concurrency?
I don't know about worse, but I think the situations are very similar. It's inaccurate to think the Luddites just hated technological advancement for the sake of it. They were happy to use machines; why wouldn't they…
That does the Luddites a bit of a disservice: > But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Luddites. They confined their attacks to…
I agree that trying to produce this sort of spec for the entire project is probably a fool's errand, but I still see the value for critical components of the system. Formally verifying the correctness of balance…
I've been thinking about trying an alternative JSON library, but interested to hear opinions on whether jsoniter is still recommended. There are 208 open issues on the repo, and a question about whether it's still…
Corporate, yes. But why do you think the OP is specifically targeting America?
A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout is often recommended, and is very good. There was an interesting debate between John and Uncle Bob on their differences in style recently[1], with a related HN…
That first example is an unintended closure, since the err at the top level actually has nothing to do with the errs in the goroutines. I have seen that sometimes, although the use of = rather than := normally makes it…
That seems like quite a high bar, to the extent that I'm not sure we could ever credit anyone with creating a pop song if it applies. Everyone seems comfortable crediting Lennon and McCartney with their various Beatles…
> The most common refrain is that popstars often write their music. This is misleading: they write the lyrics, suggest a general vibe, and some rough melodies or chords. And even this is a stretch many times. They are…
You picked the sample, not me. Those categories are taken directly from the YouGov poll that you linked. I took the four categories where "Are members of the ruling class" scored higher than "Are not..." Your own data…
Prior to the current government the Tories were in power for 14 years, mostly with a majority. So I guess your opinion that the elites are left wing must be quite recently formed? For the newspaper editors, take a look…
Using your own data, then: can you present your evidence that the majority of MPs, CEOs, bankers, and newspaper editors are left wing?
That's a far worse proxy. If you want to study PPE at university then you have to pay, there is no alternative. Studying at Eton is entirely unnecessary, given that state schools exist, and also far more expensive -…
They're an institution in the UK. They're in the arcades at every seaside town, and every kid plays them. Now that I have kids I actually think they're brilliant; for £2 each they taught mine everything they need to…
A couple of considerations are: - You have to decide whether to bump the entire API version or only the /foo endpoint. The former can be a big deal (and you don't want to do it often), the latter is messy. Especially if…
Same paper, they're just referencing it: > In 2014, Yuan et al. found that 92% of catastrophic failures in tested distributed systems were triggered by incorrect handling of nonfatal errors.
It gets tricky in a distributed system, or I suppose any server process. When the program crashes it just starts up again, and sometimes picks up the same input that caused the crash. Typical example would be processing…
