I always liked the original Jackbox Party Pack the most. It had the best mix of games including the original Drawful. It seems like the only game that is available in Italian is the game you've already found:

I'm one that believes that patents are an important part of society. One of the reasons the U.S. has had so many technological advancements is that people are able to profit from their ideas. Right now many people are trying to come up with the next million-dollar idea. Most will be trivial without much impact, even if they make a million dollars, but a few will change everything or a combination of them will change everything. Yes, protecting ideas may sometimes seem like they are hurting people but keep in mind that in most cases the idea would have never been had there not been protection for ideas.

The problem comes when people start to game the system and use their influence to get an advantage over others. The problems we see are mostly related to the way the rules have been set. So it's a matter of tweaking the rules rather than getting rid of the system.

So, no, I don't think Intellectual Property laws do more harm than good.
Most people assume that the various governments' published statistics are accurate. They also often implicitly assume that the various statistical measures are consistent across nations. Are these reasonable assumptions given the politics of the various countries?
A Minecraft server in Rust [1]. The hope is to make it obscenely parallel with actor-like design (Minecraft chunks are nearly perfect for this). The real challenge so far has been the complete and utter mess that is the MC protocol; there's two different forms of UTF8 in the damn thing and there's NBT and JSON (which achieve the same thing). NBT itself has 2 ways to encode i32 and i64 arrays. So I haven't reached the bit where I play with parallelism yet.

I do actually respect the point your making; normally I would just leave it alone. But were mattresses really the best example?

I'm trying to figure out what it would take for me to feel I'd been cheated in a mattress purchase. What does a fake mattress look like?
What if you count the total length of time that monads have not been "officially" applicative functors?
Hi, no worries, I'm still alive :)

I just haven't updated my blog for quite some time, due to a combination of circumstances. I'll probably start blogging again at some point in the near future.
With some of the discussion recently about Fabrice Bellard, I was thinking a nice retro, minimalist PC OS could be made with TinyC, QEmacs, FFMpeg, TinyGL, TinyCore Linux, etc. I'm sure a lightweight Basic implementation could be found to complement those.

Fabrix?
well I mean it was too much of a mess in my own work, I know a bit about win32k, but trying to deal with all the xxx, yyy,zzz functions and the locks and everything kinda confused me, and so I gave up. :(
Worth noting is that many psychologists are calling for the end of solitary confinement in the prison system citing the adverse effects it has on inmates personalities.
i wish i knew about this much earlier in my vim days. there's a catch 22: on the one hand, this single plugin solves a ton of problems for the advanced vim user; on the other, advanced users have likely already stitched together a patchwork of plugins, scripts, and configs that accomplish most of this one's functionality. So a new user does not understand how this plugin is truly invaluable, but the value proposition to the experienced user is mitigated by the drastic rewrite and relearn for a potentially marginal benefit.

but if you throw the word lua in the description somewhere that'll net you a couple hundred stars from the nvim people.

The net effect of consumer taxes is rich people pay less and poor people pay more.

If we need to raise (consumer) taxes, then we may hit that upper limit you mentioned where people can’t afford the basics.

Whereas if you tax income, no one will complain if billionaires are charged more.
How do you deal with maintaining and securing the servers? The big advantage of Heroku is that for small projects you don't have to deal with server maintenance, you just upload and forget. Isn't using Dokku kind of miss the whole point?

Pretty sure rust wraps on overflow, not saturates, but it's not hard to get that behavior from most C compilers if desired.
Choice of schools will just lead to more centralization and it won't be any different than it is now. It doesn't really solve the underlying problem.
How can someone calling themselves "The University of Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance" not have any understanding of how the thing they are commenting on actually works? I hope they aren't actually associated with the University. This is just plain wrong:

> The vast effort it requires also makes Bitcoin inherently difficult to scale, he argues. "If Bitcoin were to be adopted as a global reserve currency," he speculates, "the Bitcoin price will probably be in the millions, and those miners will have more money than the entire [US] Federal budget to spend on electricity."

Bitcoin's energy usage and transaction rate are unconnected. Even the long time casual observer would know when Bitcoin hit is maximum transaction rate for the first time, it's energy usage was literally orders of magnitude less than it is now. Whatever is driving it's energy usage isn't transaction rate. What's more, it's looking unlikely the max transaction rate will ever increase. And as for miners having to mine more coins ... Christ how confused is it possible to be about one topic? Apparently he doesn't know mining of new coins is halving every 4 years, and will end completely on May 7th, 2140.

It's like reading an Emu claiming the desert doesn't bloom because the fish in the rivers drink all the water. The Emu isn't wrong about the fish drinking the water of course, but with that level of ineptitude on display taking anything else the Emu has to say about the climate seriously ain't going to happen.
The way I see it, Facebook is at the forefront of this immense issue humanity at large is going to eventually have to deal with, one way or another. How do you actually connect people to each other electronically? It's tremendously hard to do. Abstractions leak. Domain concepts fall apart. There's no way to reliably engineer legibility of data.

Used to be, we had a postal system whereby the problems were handled directly by humans. That's flat-out impossible here. Automation, policies to ensure legibility, these things are necessary because you can't build a social network without them and scale it across the globe. But since they affect humans and their lives, they have real human costs.
I had always thought it was some sort of technology that could figure out what was there due to how the light reflecting off that object reflected off the visible objects on the scanned image.

"As an artist ... Art isn't really about ..."

These sort of phases have always bothered me.

Art if about whatever you want it to be. My kid painting a dinosaur that looks like a scribble is art. A masterful recreation of a photograph in oil paint is art. T shaped lines on a page that have 'hidden meaning' is art.

Portraying someone realistically is as much art as throwing paint at a canvas with a particular meaning in mind is art.

It's all art. There's nothing wrong with enjoying art that doesn't have some hidden meaning. I love realism for the skill involved. I love abstract art for the ideas involved and the thought it provokes.

Enjoyment of visual art is entirely subjective, you like it or you don't, but it's still art.

There is so much of a "gatekeeping" sense when it comes to the question of "what is art", especially in the sense that "if you don't understand it your not appreciating it". You are allowed to like it just because of the way it looks.
On the one hand, this sounds like a good idea. On the other hand, every kid will find a way around it easily.

I would rather porn sites have to have a "responsible use" link on their sites that gives addicted users a way to find help, and a way to add themselves to a self-exclusion list. The self-exclusion list would essentially be an industry-wide temporary block, so you could say "I don't want to use porn for a month" or "I can only use for 1 session a week"

This is something that gambling sites already have to do, for example here's Betfair's site: https://responsiblegambling.betfair.com/

This is why I like the Scottish "not proven" acquittal verdict as an intermediate third option between "not guilty" and "guilty."

I hear Elon Musk does this with old articles about his history. The skeptic community actively tries to archive the old stuff. Furthermore he also seems to employ SEO techniques to stay on top of any negative stories. For example, there was a Tesla Whistleblower story about some FSD controversy (the millionth one). Next thing you know he releases a literal Tesla Whistle on the company store and all of a sudden when you search Tesla Whistleblower....you are inundated with articles about Tesla's contribution in the field of human powered audible alert systems.

The alternative is a different app, not Black Cabs. Uber doesn’t provide a unique service beyond a network effect, drivers and customers can almost immediately switch to other apps.
I am a chess professional, although more as a teacher than a player, so I have a lot of experience in this field. As caro_douglos pointed out, it slows down the initial reaction to opponent's moves, which is one reason why it instantly improves performance for new players. It forces the player to settle into a certain rhythm of play which prevents silly mistakes.

It is also permitted (and encouraged) to write down the time on the clock after each move, and to record all draw offers, both of which are valuable information during and after the game. If one of my goals is to grind down my opponent's clock in a complex position where I have the initiative, seeing how much more time he is using on average gives me an idea of how long I need to maintain the tension to gain a sufficient time advantage. For example, in a game where both players start with two hours, entering the endgame with 1 hour versus my opponent's 15 minutes is an enormous advantage, even in a position which should otherwise be drawn with perfect play.

Also, in some time controls, players gain extra time after a certain move (generally the 40th), so it can be very important to know exactly when you're going to get that extra hour. These time controls are less common than they used to be.

I have students as young as 5 years old learn how to keep notation after only a few weeks of learning chess. It is a very important skill.
I really enjoyed this book. In fact, after reading through it I wrote some code to tokenize TypeScript with TypeScript. It was a fun little project even thought I didn't really go all the way with it.
Any fed of sufficient size and diplomacy. US, EU, whatever. Anyone who has an iota of accountability, internal or external, would be better than the current owner.

Of course not. The company uses the substandard paint to ensure that there's a future need thus future income. The fac t that the shorter lasting paint is cheaper just gives the company a leverage point in the bidding.

Google 'mafia', 'phoebus cartel', and many other examples of skimming, profiteering, and collusion to fix prices.
And it looks like he forgot to update all instances of $50 on the page - I guess maybe he was drunk.
Thanks, I know `||` in general--I meant I hadn't seen the specific construction GP had used. The error handling to delete the output file in case the command failed is really elegant.

That shouldn't fly anywhere.
What if:

1. The default will be dynamic typing. But you can change that.

2. You can specify a specific module you release as static. This will only affect the internal parts of the module, with one exception - when you call something of that module with the wrong type, you'll get a runtime type exception, so there's no problem working with dynamic code with a fast module.
thanks for those points.

"impending ecological doom is an issue" - best case a rounding statistical error - that will pass, no big woop.
- Worst case. jokes on us.

yes some serious culling is needed but on both sides of the spectrum. We must be very careful how our tiny scientific community applies itself these days too.

I just watched the video, Tyson makes some nice points. I agree that we should invest in dreaming about tomorrow... but i feel that tomorrow's science and today's scientific neurons should be applied more pragmatically. ( perhaps since ive just become a dad..our PRESENT reality just got way way bigger)

I'd rather hear 2-yrs from now about a new unlimited energy source with 0 emissions than us landing on Jupiter's moon.

> Last time I've used a JS heavy site the UX was just utterly awful.

That's an issue with the web site, not the underlying technology.

> […] people would have eventually fixed the bad parts of flash.

The Flash plugin was a closed-source component. (Various attempts were made at open-source substitutes, but none ever reached a fully usable state.) The only people who could have "fixed the bad parts of Flash" were Adobe employees, and they didn't.
ESG funds are such a scam. They charge high management fees and because of the pressure to deliver market returns (without which almost no one would buy them) they end up owning substantially the same stuff-- when they exclude a company because its this weeks' press whipping boy they replace it with more shares selected to optimize their correlation with the replaced company. Now as always the only lesson to companies is "don't get caught" or "make sure you put a positive spin on it".

I wish they did meaningfully push companies to implement profit incompatible policies-- then at least they'd be interesting to short.
Not debating that, was just wondering if this is the sort of workflow they were used to.

When I used ProBuilder and ProGrids, the workflows there weren't quite as intuitive for me. Not bad, I just didn't put the time in to get comfortable with them.
Go watch the Joe Rogan episode with Jack and Vijaya. Jack is all for all the censorship.

Cultures where failure is punished are just the worst. It’s not just the vain pursuit of something unachievable (systems will break) but all the effort involved in covering up rather than simply admitting the problem and then coming up with solutions to fix it/not repeat it. It’s a lost opportunity to improve the system.

Unfortunately, without active checks and balances, orgs will tend to the blame game. Avoiding it requires an org-wide commitment to openness around failures.
Something I really like about this bot is that the actual implementation ends up being just two commands running in a GitHub Actions scheduled workflow.

This command takes the screenshot, using my shot-scraper tool:

shot-scraper https://covid19.sccgov.org/dashboard-wastewater \
-s iframe --wait 3000 -b firefox --retina -o /tmp/covid.png

Then this command sends the tweet, using a tiny tweet-images command I built for this project (but released separately):

tweet-images "Latest Covid sewage charts for the SF Bay Area" \
/tmp/covid.png --alt "Screenshot of the charts"
There have been so many ARM mini PCs over the last couple of years, this one is vastly different from those and the one you posted in that this one will be x86.
Does this mean that you no longer have to to be in US/UK/Canada for starting a campaign on Kickstarter?
Unfortunately the repository (as suggested by the screenshot[1]) seems to be private: https://github.com/github/help-docs

I assume that's because they may be documenting upcoming features before they are announced.

It depends on how complex your usecase is, but using pods and just scripting your containers' composition isn't such a hassle in podman.
Publications International v. Meredith Corp is a very important copyright case in the USA. It definitely should have a good article.

I hadn't heard of the Knox case, it sounds bizarre. I will have to read it now.
I aim to solve Octordle in 3+8 guesses. I did so yesterday (#82), but today's (#83) needed a 50-50 guess which I got wrong, so took 12.

If it takes more than 12, it usually means I've been too casual.
This is exactly what I was trying to say in my other post.

Currently I suspect the logic behind social media engagement algorithms is something like "feed the user more of what they have clicked on in the past". But in real life, I don't just do more of what I did in the past. Sometimes I choose to do different things. But in legacy social media like FB I can't choose to be offered anything different than what I clicked on in the past. I can't ask for the culture wars and political hot takes to fuck off so I can see normal friends and family posts (or vice versa).

This lack of choice in what we're offered is what's essentially inhuman about legacy social media.
lol and the top comments directing you to a "PERFECT ALTERNATIVE".
Probably the tape I use the most, at least when hiking for fixing gear as well but mostly user related problems — Leukotape. It adheres to skin much better than moleskin and stays for weeks. I apply it as soon as I feel a hot-spot forming on my feet to prevent it from turning into a blister, or as a preventative measure for areas that I know are prone to blisters.

Is it open-source yet? I can't seem to find any source code anywhere.
Because life doesn't exist outside of work?
Out of curiosity I saw what this product was about. It appears to be like a chatroom in the sense that its live but with an API or live application refresh where the programmer can write lines of code that immediately show app results. This is pretty cool but I don't know if its a real product other than live coding interviews or the most intense pressure cooker of your manager having you do the TPS reports right now. If coupled with GPT3, however, it might be perfect, as you could just speak what you want and then it can output python that then updates this.
Can anyone recommend any pop-sci books? I haven't taken a science class since high school, and that is barely remembered. Mostly interested in getting philosophically up to date with the state of matter(?), it's different types, how these objects interact.
i think you need to go up a level of abstraction from this perspective to see the utility for the average consumer. we each have computers all around us, phones, tablets, tv's, and increasingly everything else. it's so hopeless to manage, much less understand, these mysterious machines for more and more people. what you want is a company you can trust to manage these things for you but gives you the ultimate, yet cognitively bounded, control over them.

for instance, plug in a smart device and have confidence that it's not doing surreptitious things behind your back, because it's automatically segregated into its own vlan and given only enough network access to be controlled by you without needing to know much about the underlying technologies involved.
Yep... It was definitely my fault for doing the vegan diet "wrong", but it was also really easy to do it wrong on accident, which people need to be aware of.

I thought I was doing the right things. I was taking a multivitamin and supplementing my B12 according to common vegan recommendations. Nobody mentioned the possibility of kidney stones though!
There are a lot of problems with reification. It's a real strait-jacket. It would kill the JVM as a platform for Clojure and Ruby and kill some of the advanced parts of Scala.
If your "normal times" scientific standards need to change for an emergency, then they were never appropriate to begin with.

But here, I do think the scientific standards are OK. What should be changed in an emergency is not scientific rigor, but the amount of resource that we are willing to spend on the problem with an expectation of waste.

With that mindset, throwing money at the problem to fund trials that address a wide range of questions (e.g., 1 vs 2 doses of Pfizer/Moderna, 2 vs 4 vs 6 weeks for booster timing, etc) would have been the way to go.
Yep. It's a work in progress. Currently Dolthub's team is focused on improving the speed and efficiency of the software. Mobile support for the website is on the roadmap.
We are talking about two different things. One is an ISP that closes an account, and the other is an ISP that has a firewall that prevents access by their customers to reach a site that has information from Trump.
Sigh. Sadly, I'm well aware that one cannot combat irrationality with reason. However the purpose of my post was more to inform readers who might be unaware of the structure of US government that it was an untrue statement.
So are they going to apply to the same reasoning to government of Ethiopia, which apparently started a war not too long ago.

Or the governments of Armenia and the other place (Turkmenistan?).

The Chinese consulate was recently bragging on Twitter about how its their concentration camps are serving as feminist awareness centers for Uygar women.

Selectively addressing evils isn’t doing good: it’s taking sides.
The oligarchs are laughing in the background as the divide and conquer strategy is working quite well.

So many servile people ready to give up liberties here because they want to punish the other, refusing to understand the implications of how such systems will be turned on them some point in the future.
I don't have a right to be heard, that's not what free speech is. I also don't have the right to insist on other people publishing my views for me (corporations are people now, remember). And I certainly don't need to feel validated by apps.
