First of all, you need to understand that all current (serious) game engines primarily use C++, in order to provide maximum performance at the low-level. But C++ is incredibly unproductive as a language for actual high-level game development, since C++ takes ages to compile and has more weird and dangerous footguns than any other language. So developers often end up binding a scripting language onto their C++ core, so they can have fast development cycles and move fast. So even C# in Unity is just a scripting language binded onto the core C++ engine. The problem is that C# isn't a language intended for embedding, and you need a lot of effort to bind the two seamlessly.

When Unity started making their engine in the 2000s they had engineering troubles with integrating the Mono C# runtime into their engine, and eventually they needed to obtain a custom license from Morell to fork and modify to their liking (at the time Mono was the only C# runtime that supported other platforms like Mac OS and mobile, and it was dual licensed as LGPL/commercial). There were also myriad problems with this choice, including being stuck with an outdated version of the Mono runtime which they needed to relicense (at a hefty price) to upgrade, myriad issues with the very slow Boehm garbage collector, etc etc. Eventually Microsoft would buy Xamarin (the successor of Morell) and relicense Mono to the MIT license, which was a lifesaver for Unity since they could now update to the latest Mono runtime at no cost. Still they're kinda stuck with their initial decision of using the Mono runtime, and it seems ever unlikely that they're going to migrate to dotnet (which I've never heard any success of embedding with C++). So in conclusion, it took a lot of time for C# in Unity to be useable to the degree we're at now, and it's more of a special edge case of gamedev history than anything else. Most game engines use a much more easily embeddable scripting language such as Lua for good reason (or end up creating their own language!)

About the topic of why does every game engine seem to go the route of creating their own scripting language, I find the explanation of the Godot Engine devs very well written: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/3.0/about/faq.html#gdscript-... (Godot Engine tried integrating many other languages before deciding to write their own scripting language called GodotScript.)
Stallman reminds me of a character in a Greek tragedy. He ends up bringing in the very thing he is fighting against.

He makes GPL to give users control over programs. Companies end up using GPL software to power server side software which ends up giving users even less control than proprietary on-device software.

He makes GCC to break free of vendors dominating compiler development. IBM(through Redhat) ends up being the major GCC contributor.

He is worried that companies will use their proprietary software that is sold in exchange for money to maximize revenue by squeezing users. Companies and up using open source software to create proprietary services that are sold in exchange for attention, and to maximize revenue optimize for “engagement” which is now tearing society apart.

Most computer users are using proprietary systems, but now they are cheaper to build thanks to open source software.

Who had/has more control over their data, a Windows 95 user running Microsoft Office on a PC, or a modern Chromebook user running Google Docs? The later incorporates a lot more open source software.
I said that? I think an audit is reasonable, but I don't have a very strong opinion on it.

I certainly don't think the fed is the "source of all ills".
That’s not full story though - with incentives Uber cut is much smaller and in many cases drivers actually got more than the customer paid.
Alternately teaching them to spend it as fast as possible is a good lesson for high inflation.
I'm concerned that an audit of the Fed could hasten the collapse of the USA.
Tough love doesn't work here. Logic doesn't penetrate. Worse, I worry you could come across as trivializing addiction, depression and other mental health issues.

When in doubt seek help. That is what we need to encourage. And I know first hand how hard it is to seek help and keep seeking it, but the very act can be its own little bit of healing.
I switched to this kind of mouseless setup a couple of years ago and haven't looked back.

It takes some time getting into, but the rewards were worth it for me. I'm now relying on muscle memory for navigation, and my mouse arm inflammation is gone!
They're pointing out that, even if we assume a ridiculously high value for the equity, it's simply not worth any money. You're absorbing substantial risk for equity that has no chance of being worth real money.

This seems to be a common pattern in finance, where one party tries to shed all their risk cheaply.
For throw, can the exception be handled and then continued?
If you're interested in the topic I recommend this book:

Tompkins looks at the differences in what went wrong culturally between Challenger and Columbia. Pretty fascinating.

>Take everything "electric drivetrain" out of a Tesla and it's still far beyond $11k echelon

So what? I was arguing that nobody is buying a Tesla specifically to save money and that $3k in gas an oil is absurdly high. I didn't say the two cars were comparable, I said one actually saves money on personal transportation. If saving money is actually an issue, it wouldn't make any sense to go Tesla over the other options out there. Everyone has different priorities and "far beyond" is completely and entirely subjective to each person.

I don't have an Aveo but I did rent one before (if I recall correctly) and I didn't like them. I also negotiated the asking price of the dealership WAY WAY down.

Anyway if I made $10 million a year, I wouldn't change a thing about my car purchase.
I hope you learned your lesson about using words to make your point. Next time, try to express yourself in pure telepathy, avoid giving people an opportunity to flame your diction and dismiss your ideas.
I'm trying to do that for a small community site but I find the documentation a bit lacking. I know I have to create a directory somewhere and write a web.config in XML but I'm still figuring out the rest. I may end up copying someones Github project and tearing it apart to see how things work in practice, or perhaps my RTFM skills are somewhat lacking lately. But if you'd ask me I'd say the widespread presumption all developers are running Visual Studio.NET with Nuget is part of why you haven't seen those success stories.

On the bright side, I've heard good things coming out of ServiceStack. Apparently it shines in the backend web service department and works well with Mono. It's based on ASP.NET and since the requirements for my little project are fairly minimal, I think it's a bit overkill there. But it's still worth checking out for more demanding projects, IMHO.

This is our (my company) take on Linear Algebra, but then with exercises:

That's about 3960X and 3970X, which are the 24 and 32 core CPUs that had their benchmarks released today.

It's a React component for data tables. So it implements (re)loading data, sorting, pivoting, and the other stuff mentioned in this feature list:

https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-table#features

So the comparison to HTML tables is a bit odd, because (as per the article linked by OP) it does pretty much everything except the UI part.

(I'm not the author, I just use this library at my work.)
Depends on how good a joke domain it is.
On a personal level. I hardly ever use MS Office, maybe a few times a year. But $99 a year for Office 365 and I can have an account for myself, my wife, my son, a cousin in school, and my mom and 1TB of storage apiece plus 1TB of storage is a good deal. Just OneDrive alone is worth the price -- The entire Office 365 suite is the same cost as Dropbox.

They work on my Mac, Windows PC, iPad, and phone.

No worries about the nitpick! However, in the market of "In home" tutoring my wife was working for a company that was indeed charging around 85 to 90. Markup was 60-65, tutor was paid 20-25. (prices depended on quality of tutor).

This was a frustrating article, because I think it's almost right, but not quite.

It's not that mass-production kills quality or "intangibles". We don't have to assume boutique products have a quality advantage. It's just that scale is most effective on price, and price sensitivity is not linear. Once products are cheap enough, price discrimination stops being decisive.

> The true-differentiation strategy seems to work best when scale, despite its efficiencies, also introduces blind spots in areas such as ... intangibles not entirely consistent with mass production and standardization.

That isn't really what's going on. Even if the big business is good, and scale is quite useful, there are many, many small competitors. All of the competitors are making products, and some of them are likely to be exceptional. So for the big business to stay on top, scale has to be helping a lot.

If there are 100 beers on the shelf, and one of them is a mass-produced, and the mass produced one is not #1 in quality, you don't have to assume mass-production hurts quality. It just that it didn't help enough.
I agree that we don't have a controlled study in this case. However, it will be interesting to look at this data at the end of next season. If the Patriots fumble stats revert to pre 2007 levels it will certainly raise some interesting questions.

Why does it matter what people do for leisure?
After the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, second possibly to the invention of soap, I'd venture to say access to cheap, plentiful food is what created the "American Dream" and the thriving middle class we all seem to mourn these days.

It was brilliant, really. It made America the superpower it is, and it never quite gets the credit it's due.

But it came at the cost of all kinds of food issues we're really understanding now. Factory farms, corn subsidies, pesticides, demonization of fat, preservatives, and fast food all came out of that era.

But in the Information Age, we get to know a lot more, and a lot of what we get to know is the long-term effects of fast, cheap food.

So now we demand that food also be safe. Not just safe in the FDA parts-per-million-of-rat-feces-in-peanut-butter safe, but safe in the way that food is processed between the farm and our mouths.

The average consumer is so much more educated now about food than they were in yesteryear, and because of that we're willing to put more of our hard-earned money towards "healthier" options (like Chipolte vs Taco Bell) even while not being willing to give up the "fast" and "access."

The educated consumer was bound to hurt some and bolster others. Chipolte, Shake Shack, etc., are the winners.

For now.
I think it would be pretty easy to show, similar to this article -

Pre-computer era elite GMs and computer-era elite GMs have similar error rates[1], with the caveat that we presume disagreeing with the computer's top choice to be an error. They mostly agreed with the computer's assessment something like 50-57% of the time.

As far as I know Magnus' games haven't been subjected to this kind of analysis, and I recall 2 pretty bad moves in the recent match with Anand, so I'd be interested to see it. I suspect he may be even slightly above 60%.

Should it be something like high 70%'s though I think it would be time to start a conversation about it. It's how Ivanov was busted: overwhelmingly playing one of the top 2 engine moves, which is basically impossible. [2]

I doubt it. They are protesting in reaction to a policy that suddenly disrupted their lives.

This is not a group that's united around decades of systemic oppression like other civil rights movements. They're united against a common enemy. If the mandate goes away, so do the truckers.
It would still be good for you to address this concern in your documentation since you claim that it's a replacement for Polymer. I would suggest providing a few examples of how one might accomplish CSS isolation on their own in a way that is 'good enough' for real-world use.
Well, there's the obvious benefit of tracking changes and it also provides a nice way to sync files selectively between computers.
Okay fair point, but for the average consumer BlackBerry "innovation" has been about 5 years too late. And that is coming from a former BlackBerry enthusiast like myself.
Similar experience - Atom on my home Macbook Pro is quick and snappy and an overall nice experience to use, but on a similarly powered Windows 7 work laptop it is noticeably slower to the point of being unusable. Last time I tried it on the Win7 box was about two months ago.

The point of my link was that the NYT kept the author of that opinion piece anonymous. They're really stretching the definition by calling the author a "source", though I suppose he is the paper's best source for his own opinion.

In Miles Taylor's case, they recognized the importance of anonymity for authors whose job would be jeopardized by disclosing their name. In Scott Alexander's case, they ignored it.
Does anyone have any summaries or news about the ongoing Racket team effort to develop modern syntax?
Nah, no conspiracy. I just don't like that they can change their collateral requirement from 3% to 100% for specific stocks in one day, regardless of the reasons.

To turn it around: should they have the authority to enforce a 33.3x collateral increase with no oversight simply because they feel it's necessary for the world to stop trading GME? This is the heart of what I hope will be regulated.

BTW, playing whiskey slaps was fun. It was nice to see the crazy pentester world, even if I had wrong expectations going in. Hope you've been well!
If some lawyer is reading this I would love to know what it takes for an extortion to become a criminal offense.

JavaScript's support has been moved to the reactiverse project. It's an incubation like project for projects that aren't fully 1.0.0 yet. In there you will find https://reactiverse.io/es4x/, the EcmaScript support For Vert.x. It's a new approach of using vert.x with GraalVM to provide modern ES language features such as ES12, instead of the old Nashorn ES5.1.

It also changes the development workflow from a maven-based project to a NPM-based project which should be more familiar to JavaScript developers.
He is not a source, he is the subject of the piece.

Source anonimity is important because otherwise sources in delicate situations will never talk to the press.
This has nothing to do with the issue here and I don't understand why would you see it otherwise.
There is a reason why totalitarian societies try to substitute religion with stare propaganda and the personality cult. There's a reason why the CCP banned Falun Gong - it had more followers than the CCP.
Yes, right, sorry, of course. Cache.

I think I got confused because a cache is a fixed length queue where 'take one' means evict, but 'take one' in OP means cache hit (if we're calling it a cache). I'd still prefer to call it an MRU queue (not a cache at all) I suppose.

(With some weird overflow property where it starts evicting MRU after a certain point too...)

But that's exactly the point of the OP: 95% "declined like they should" -- but what does that say about the 5% that didn't? What general conclusions can you draw from data elicited through people that are clearly unlike the mainstream?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re describing but sounds like they could be getting practical experience? Like a junior dev doing some scripting grunt work that no one else wanted to do but they are gaining other skills along the way possibly?

Are you seriously implying that browser functionalities are currently simple enough for entities smaller than "large companies" to implement?
> So I have to ask: do you or have you worked at a FAANG with these systems?

Yes, 9 years at Google. But yes, not experience beyond the L4/L5 tier.

It is true that the IBM type structure isn't the same, and yes, Google is fine with you staying around L5 forever (well, L4 now). But the matrix of things to get beyond L4 really is, in the grand scheme of things, about moving beyond development and into delegation, or at least ownership. It's not management, but it is about leadership/cross-team collaboration and "demonstrating impact" to others. So, like I said elsewhere, small-p political.

At least that's my experience from seeing the L4 to L5 transition. But it may also be a product of my smaller office, where the number of projects is smaller, team size is smaller, and larger technical contributions of impact are harder to find.

EDIT: Also I've seen a lot of change in the 9 years, in terms of how the organization as a whole behaves, and it is becoming more and more like a traditional BigCorp. I just checked percent/ and within engineering 86.43473% full-time employees are newer than me. And a lot more if you count non-engineering. It is a way larger company than I started in.

EDIT2: I should underline, that the perf/promo process obviously works for a large, perhaps the majority, number of people. But it doesn't for all. It requires adapting to an organizational model that not everybody accords with. And I think that's in the spirit of the original topic: organizational structures / procedures that become your career goals may not make you happy, so find a company whose process matches what you want to get out of life. Or try.
> they tend to focus on which stacks matter

This is not just a junior problem. A lot of "people problems" seem to come from fighting over which stack to use. (and most people fight for whichever stack they are best at, to maximize their own personal contribution). I always spend a lot of time asking people what technology they would use to solve a particular problem, what technology they really don't like, etc. It saves a lot of trouble fighting over things if you get a team that is willing to go with a particular technical approach and is more important than most "cultural fit" issues.

The half-life of exogenous antibodies is around one month:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3183495/

The benefit is solely from the antibodies attacking and reducing the level of virus in the body, it does NOT induce an immune response from the body (though that will happen anyway as the body mounts it's normal immune response to the virus)
Most hotel rooms I've stayed in don't even have a kitchenette. I wouldn't choose to rent a hotel room for longer than a week if I couldn't feasibly cook food. I'm sure there are people that would compromise on this, but I doubt it would be as easy to rent as a studio.

Google Play and Apple App Store each have a "badge" graphic consisting of the logo and some white text on a black, rounded rectangle. Maybe Google wouldn't mind if you cut it down to just the Play logo. Apple says not to modify theirs or use the Apple logo alone. I'm surprised Apple doesn't use their normal pencil-paintbrush-ruler icon for the App Store, as the Apple logo alone doesn't necessarily make sense.
Find a local farmer whose meat handling you trust to reduce the likelihood of contamination.

Otherwise, get a steak, wipe it with an ammonia solution, rinse it, and grind it up yourself. The E.Coli, if it exists, is going to be on the outside of the steak; the ammonia wash will kill the vast majority of it, and you get the benefit of fresher hamburger.

Alternatively, freeze your steak by dipping it in liquid nitrogen. A normal freezer isn't sufficient to kill E.Coli, but a liquid nitrogen dip will do the job. :)
