Perhaps open federated systems should have recommendation algos too, just optional and open

Thought it was possible to lob the ball up and over?

First suggestion is impractical. Not going to be able to memorize 100 names to look up and research later

Second suggestion should already be happening, but doesn’t capture the desired use case.

The use case is this: in physical life, there is a gradient of “boundaries/leashes” to match maturity and development. For example, the gradient of movie ratings, or:

• Very young - stay within arms reach/sight
• Young - stay in the yard/park/neighborhood
• Child - stick with what’s familiar, I’ll be nearby
• Pre-teen - go and try it, I can be right there
• Teen - go and try it yourself, call me if needed

We could argue about whether a gradient is too steep or shallow, but the point is that one exists.

In contrast, digital in many ways is very often all-or-nothing

Not saying digital should be “gradient-ed” in all cases, that leads to tone-deaf rules and bad security practices. Just trying to show what the problem is

I think there is a difference. Because software is so flexible and quick to build, it’s orders of magnitude easier to build something known and understood.

A promising startup with its systems in a knot, but their initial team is still on retainer? Brains can be picked, abstraction boundaries placed, surgical rewrites deployed. Despite the mess, they still understand it, and development can expand.

It remains to be seen if AI-generated code is recoverable, if any existing strategies can be applied so humans can contribute, or if the company is forever beholden to AI providers to release a better AI to manage/improve what they’ve already got.

What did you go over?

Bad abstraction is worse than no abstraction

If the code is going to poorly organized, I’d prefer it to just be one single gigantic standalone script than some wrong and misleading arrangement of objects or functions that adds more complexity than they solve

“never see addressed”? What do you think currently happens in (real, non-hypothetical) cities with good bike infrastructure?

Oh look, emergency vehicles work even better on bike infrastructure than on car infrastructure

Bicylists and pedestrians can’t hard block a firetruck the way car traffic can

How does playing the game bring revenue? Ads?

Also, I would think that the business would be in a tougher situation if game popularity increased while tech workers weren’t around to maintain it

In the US? IMO only possible in exclusive environments similar to saunas at spas or membership-based clubs/gyms

Idgi – is it saying that every game is either named “X” or “Y’s X”?

There’s the practical distinction between “everyone can do it with some dedicated intent” (so few actually bother) vs “everyone can do it on a whim”

wanted to add something to the end of a for-loop, but had too little indentation

To address this, I prefer reducing length & depth of nested code, so the for/while is rarely ever not visible along with everything inside it. Others have success with editors that draw indentation lines.

opening up new/anonymous scopes

I occasionally use Python nested functions for this purpose

I find it’s possible to operate Python as a statically typed language if you wanted, though it takes some setup with external tooling. It wasn’t hard, but had to set up pyright, editor integration, configuration to type check strictly and along with tests, and CI.

I even find the type system to be far more powerful than how I remembered Java’s to be (though I’m not familiar with the newest Java versions).

I prefer that, though (it’s in my calendar, but I don’t have to accept). I really can’t stand Outlook’s email-based calendar workflow.

That’s only because the former already implies much of the latter, so they don’t need to repeat it

I’ve heard of publishing software to design photo albums/scrapbooks/cards etc. Is there a photo collection manager for archiving, sorting and filtering?

Given access to a large set of personal photos, say tens of thousands, it should be able to group, categorize, tag, and sort along a myriad of dimensions.

Example dimensions would be time, people and places. It would need some facial recognition/image classifier/similarity scoring capability.

There definitely are some cloud offerings today that do similar things, but I’d want it to work locally for privacy and practical reasons.

It refers to a male cousin that is NOT in the same paternal line, so maybe not too uncommon?

If talking about a closed source app, their whole goal is to move off of hosting closed source systems.

Article says the decision follows a successful pilot project, so they’re willing to absorb the short term costs. Optimistically in the long run, the symbiotic benefits of having a government entity using and supporting a full FOSS system will be huge.

Oh, interesting

Hell of a frame budget to work by, but I don’t know much about game programming

You can, once you find a game that runs at 1k fps
