The original creators of Mario Kart are still involved in the latest entries (a 34-year run!) Thats not common outside Nintendo.

Didn't know, that's pretty cool! I do think Nintendo generally has a good sense of what they want from their games, so perhaps future generations will stay true to the current 'generation' of game leads.

The “nearby” list of players takes up half the screen on mobile (Safari) and I can’t see my player or really anything going on.

I really like the Vampire Survivors vibe though and what I think might have been other players running around under my UI was really neat.


Didn't realize this, that's a massive problem haha. Thanks for the note!

I’m sure there will be a package available on day 1 that will tell all sites you’re 30+ and should be allowed in. Probably even just a Firefox add-on, not a full OS package.

You have to head to the documentation to see an example. It is still Rust, which is a bit of an acquired taste so keeping that beauty off the main page makes sense.

I got a 404 when heading to the examples.

This is Gnome/GTK, not cross-platform like I would have expected. A Linux-first approach. I’m happy that this is the world we’re in now but expect it still to be royal pain to get a build running on Windows. Huge congrats to everyone involved if not!

How many proper cross-platform approaches are there these days? Just about every one I've seen is "grab the native platform's canvas, draw your own".

- Grab the native canvas, draw your own UI

- Electron and friends (web toolkits, tauri, etc)

- Or my favorite: Just have a UI library which wraps all the native UI toolkits on each platform. Eg: https://daybrite.dev/


Doesn't Qt wrap native UI toolkits? It looks very native...

AFAIK, the OS-specific Qt themes don't wrap the native widgets, it reimplements them. They are rather thorough though, making sure their OS-specific theme matches the look and behavior of the native OS, which makes it one of the best framework to do something that feels close to native.

ok. did not know that.

No, it's just the most accurate re-implementation that I know of at least for Windows.

You can sometimes tell the difference because the QT emulated widget can do things that the native widget can't.


You also won't have accessibility on Windows either unless you can somehow get it to enable accesskit integration. (I really don't get the open source norm that something like accessibility should be opt-in, particularly with UI toolkits and the like, but eh.)

I’ve found this too but I think audiobooks still have a place, they just can’t something you rely on being able to perfectly understand. A second book on the same topic or something in a topic loosely related but interesting. Or fiction to help stay awake on long road trips.

Where do you publish?

I don't. I do them for my own satisfaction, not yours.

I want more things like that old hand made hero to exist in the world, but, from an interview with Casey himself, it doesn’t pay well enough to justify. Someone with the chops to put that together is in a position to be doing something much better incentivized.

Implied in the article that this is more due to shear size than a change in business model but I hope this isn’t a first crack in the dam. Would hate to lose all the great work being done in the open over there.

> Compared with meat-eaters, vegetarians were more likely to have a higher educational level, whereas vegans had a lower education level

I think it’s good to question these things but the people who go full black/white on everything is where that whole movement died. Saying something strong like “eating any meat” will generally not win over hackers. But “we won’t bring cows to Mars” might work better.


I wonder how many of these "self-reported" vegans were true ethical vegans vs instgram influencer, "I eat chicken once a week" vegans.

Also, what's your point? Is there a proven direct correlation between ethics/morals and educational level? And even if there were, does that imply that this less educated group is as a whole completely wrong? And are you implying that ethics and morals were even objective and measureable? I mean, completely no idea what you are getting at here.


The linked study does show that correlation. But I personally believe it’s more of a second-order effect.

Vegetarianism selects for openness and analytical/reflective thinking but the extra step to veganism selects for absolutism/purity and rigid category-based thinking. Reflective thinking and openness are definitely correlated to IQ so I believe the result in the article.

The point here is to know your audience. The people on this site are perfectly primed to respond well to a vegetarian/environmental point of view.


> Vegetarianism selects for openness and analytical/reflective thinking but the extra step to veganism selects for absolutism/purity

I don't follow how you conclude this at all. there is nothing to indicate this is the case.


Vegetarianism, in Europe at least, requires one to be open to a different diet than what one is used to, usually going against social and cultural norms due to a personal conviction that is reached by analysis and reflection, while veganism brings that to the extreme


Everyone has different ethical frameworks. The label of "extreme" is arbitrary, not objective. I'm sure you would never rape or murder someone. Does that make you an extremist? You don't think it's OK to occasionally rape and murder people right? Vegans' ethical framework is that the murder of animals is unacceptable, and so there is no middle ground. That's not extremism, it's a different framework. To frame it as a spectrum is a misunderstanding.


Pretty sure vegetarians and vegans both are against the killing of animals, so don't know what you are trying to argue. And yes it is very much a spectrum that (very roughly, and not exclusively) goes from: cannibalism -> eating animals -> eating animal derived products -> eating only vegetables and fruit -> eating only vegetable and fruit that fell to the ground without being picked.

And I find it ironic in that you are kind of proving the point, by painting it as a black and white issue. This is what the "extremism" means to me. Another form of that spectrum could be: Endangered species -> wild animals -> farmed animals. Do you think it would be as wrong to kill the last specimens of an animal that is about to go extinct as it would be to kill an animal that has been bred over thousands of years and could probably not survive in the wild on its own? While i am against all killing, when presented with this choice the answer is pretty clear to me.

And you even made a similar distinction yourself in another comment here:

>I hope people say the same about all animals, but especially mammals.

So again, not sure what you are trying to argue.


Ah you said it much better than I did, I'll link your comment.


You have a conclusion that you want to defend and some biases you're unaware of, so you're also not aware how tortured this argument sounds.

Pick some other topic. For example: are people who thinkthat slavery is inherently and always wrong just stupid extremists, compared to people who accept that 'some' slavery is fine?

I feel like you're the type to walk around with calipers.

Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49436484 for a better written argument.


> Compared with meat-eaters, vegetarians were more likely to have a higher educational level, whereas vegans had a lower education level

this is such a... wrong conclusion to make from the study. the study has found a correlation and by no means is it a causation. there are so many cultural, societal reasons for this to be the case. (eg. in india, upper caste people are usually vegetarians who generally have more access to education.)


Dude, most of India are vegetarians. If you have seen the sanitary conditions for storing meat (or at least in 2008/2010 when I backpacked around the country), you would also become one. I certainly did.

Curries with meat were more expensive than vegetable ones in every dhaba. The bonus of not having to pick tiny pieces of meat from heap of chicken bones was a nice bonus (since touching food with hands was generally a very bad idea, sanitizer or not).


Thats more about the variety of vegetables, pulses, spices etc all naturally growing there compared to other regions.


Except that the study is from France?


it was an example of a correlation != causation

the parent comment was basically creating a causational logic for why vegetarians are more likely to be "smart"-er. which is not true.

I'm not seeing any assertion of causation from that quote.
