The Witcher 3 was a solid game, but it's the kind of game that doesn't really have a lasting impact beyond rounding out a platform's lineup. Typically you have a few of those on each platform every year. This is like Tier III on an imaginary scale that I just created.

The general consensus on Breath of the Wild so far is that it's at least a tier above that - the tier that defines a console generation. Games like Mario 64, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, stuff like that. That's Tier II.

In Tier I are the games that are in consideration for the greatest games of all time: Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past, Final Fantasy VII, etc. Some people think it'll end up here, but we won't know that until we look back on it in a few years.

"Really good"? I found it amateurish in its style, questionable in its priors, and far from compelling in its conclusions, being neither enjoyable to read nor worthwhile to have read.

One man's opinion, of course, and worth only what you paid for it, but even among the already questionable field of futurism, the very kindest that can be said of this effort is that it fails to stand out.

I work in healthcare. A lot of the complexity is FROM government attempts to help.

Look at HIPAA. Originally about medical record portability, now it largely deals with security, privacy, and availability. These sound good, but it is frustratingly vague, subject to massive reactive fines, and assumes a lot of practices that always feel out of date. It's way more of a pain than private compliance frameworks like PCI.

The problems in US healthcare are complex, entrenched, and Brook no simple fix. The government is incredibly buearacratic, designed by lawyers who value an openness to interpretation by courts that creates ambiguity, and creates solutions in their own mold.
WiiU has a lot of great games you can play right now and it will take Switch few year before it reaches a similar level in it's life cycle. Also, it's the best console to play Wii games right now (and possibly ever) and there's plenty of games available from Nintendo's older consoles available on eShop. Considering that in few months it will be nearly impossible to buy a new WiiU I'd say it's the perfect moment to buy it.

It was only mentioned in a comment. I just checked, since it never had a submission on its own I submitted it now.
The fate of classical music certainly depends on where you live, but it's not been doing very well in the US for a while. Public Radio (which used to be most people's exposure to classical music) has been playing less and less of it over the past couple of decades, the death of music stores means it's not that easy to browse recordings, and the new streaming services are much more pop music focused. You can still be a classical music fan but it takes work.
From a certain perspective human labour is the most perfect waste of time. But keep going.

As long as you keep it up I'll pretend I want to keep working.

I can't say I know anyone who's indulged reiki, but I've got a lot of flak from my brother telling me that cannabis cures cancer, when I told him that I was doing chemoradiotherapy for my Stage 3 rectal cancer. Today I've finished a cycle of six weeks of treatment, and while I'm extremely tired, the signs are good that it's in remission. If I'm lucky, I'll have a full pathological response, i.e., it's gone.

Despite the number of people who go through cancer, it's rarely brought up in polite conversation. It wasn't until I got it myself that all manner of people came out of the woodwork to talk about how someone they knew had gone through the same thing. Many of them have been using concentrated cannabis oil (which my brother also said I should do). After reading a couple of studies, it does have a positive effect on cancers, but the level depends on the type of cancer. In the case of colorectal cancers, it seems to stop the cancer but not kill it, most likely due to the CB1 receptors in the tumour being hypermethylated (as in, the gene isn't being expressed). The level of evidence isn't that of a systematic review, but it's enough for me to give it a go and certainly enough for further research. Unfortunately, the two sides of the argument seem to think that it either doesn't do anything (there's not enough evidence) or that the medical establishment is just a ruse and that cannabis cures all cancer. I prefer to use my critical thinking skills and get the best of both worlds.

I can understand why people might indulge in quackery - I've got surgeons telling me they need to cut out my rectum and part of my lower intestine, even with a full pathological response. Possible side effects are shitting 3 times a day (not so bad) and erectile dysfunction (worse). This has been the gold standard of care for 15+ years now, and the surgeons don't give a fuck about my quality of life, they just want to cut. There's mounting evidence to show this might be overtreating the problem, and that you can get away with a heavier dose of chemo with the radiotherapy. Frankly, I don't want anyone cutting anything out of me unless it's absolutely necessary, but it's hard finding an advocate who would be willing to tell the surgeons to fuck off.

I'm lucky, in this sense: I understand the research and I have access to upcoming studies (I used to work at an institute that did systematic reviews of evidence). Most people won't have such advantages, so they just sit there and do what the surgeons tell them to do, as if they don't have any options other than no treatment. If that's all the choice I got, I'd be wary of the medical establishment too.

It is also a bunch of scripts in the one known file, and these can be dependent, programmed (if/for) or included from other sources. If you don't care about what it is mainly for, you can see the value of its own.

Honestly, I'll never go into some .sh file to see what happens there, but often open Makefiles to find and tune details of anything. It... adds something manageable(?), I can't find a word for it.

Of course I use makefiles for tasks not connected to building projects. Not "a lot", but if I need reproducible actions in workdir, then it is Makefile.

>In a Unicode world, it rarely makes sense to iterate over codepoints in a string

I love that people think that being Unicode somehow makes strings into opaque objects that you can never inspect or manipulate. Do you think that strings magically pop into existence fully formed and then magically disappear into a magic box and come out as rendered glyphs on a screen?

I don't disagree that [Char] is a stupid way to represent strings. Strings should very obviously just be byte arrays. Go does it right, it's one of the few things it does right. It turns out the creators of UTF-8 know how to deal with Unicode properly. Who would have thought?

Indeed. When I was living near one, I could walk in, fill my own backpack with stuff, pay in a few seconds and walk out. Another advantage is that I could see that discounts had processed properly, instead of having to check the receipt.

But once I moved away, I started using home delivery and it's even better. My shopping now consists of ~15mins browsing a website, and ~15mins receiving and unpacking bags, and I only need to do it about once a fortnight.

Is that "certain perspective" interesting? Nobody wants to work that's a given that doesn't need to be argued, whence work needs incentives (in a generalised sense) from salary to force.

Most human labour has historically related to food production, production and maintainance of dwellings, sanitation, health, care of the young & elderly, and security (from animals, natural forces, other humans). Since division of labour became possible additional forms of labour emerged, such as science, engineering, and organisation of labour whose raison d'être is to lighten humanity's workload. One can and should certainly ask if work could be organised better, but there is a base load of things that need to be done to perpetuate humanity.

That's just not how games like this work, and it's not that normal gamers are worse. It's perfectly reasonable that a normal gamer might take 30 hours to complete a game that a speed runner can complete in an hour. One's goal is to play the game, the other's goal is to use their existing game knowledge to cut out as much content as possible.

You can't expect to do a speed run on your first play through without following a guide, and if you do that what's the point in even playing it? Unless beating games as fast as humanly possible is your thing.

Are you sure that you had Seagate EC drives, and not Seagate Archive drives? The latter are DM-SMR and therefore poorly suited to pretty much anything doing random write I/O (e.g. rsyncing directory trees, rdiff-backup and so on). However, with the correct workload (object store, log-oriented storage) they perform admirably, especially for their price.

With DM-SMR strange noises and paranormal drive activity has to be expected since the drive can spend considerable time flushing it's PMR buffer (~16 GiB) to the shingled zones.
Access to WCs is actually still a big problem in India.
Same for me. Youtube as well.
You're probably confusing these with SMR drives. These here are standard PMR, so they are just like any other hard drive regarding random I/O.

Well, first, there are a few different versions of land value taxes, and a few different rationales for them. I'm not an expert on this but do find it interesting and important.

In the version that I was thinking of, a land value tax would pay for the basic income. If the land value tax provided all of the funds for the basic income, then there would presumably be no excess for landlords to siphon off, except maybe as one region gained in popularity at the expense of another, etc.

The eventual goal would be to have all or almost all income from rents within a country be distributed to the citizenry. Land owners would also receive the income.
This is the same kind of "advice" depressed people get. "Have you tried getting better"? "You just need to be happy". "Try my coping mechanism". "See a standup comedian". "Just try".

4 Useful DIY Creative Design Ideas for Beginners
..because financials is something people hope a company to be more open. It takes quite alot of courage to honestly reveal all the salaries. Then you wouldn't need a calculator anymore. So probably you should consider when you are acquiring talent, talent may set the price based on their own needs and have a right to negotiate. You shouldn't first of all, build an annoyingly outdated calculator and give it to HR to reject good talent and rely on community to mess up when the decision to build that calculator was mostly to serve company's own purpose. (which probably why its more biased to downpaying employees)
i don't think you can even compare those, driving without a seatbelt is a ridiculously unsafe idea.
Power is currently about having lots of people doing your bidding. If that large group is unhappy about you, good luck!

But as stated, times are changing. Power will not be about you commanding lots of people, but it will be about how many robots you have under your control. Military, police, etc, can all be robots.

Your robot army just has to match the fighting power of the unhappy people.
"The whole point of a proxy" isn't to spy on people, even if that's the only reason you use it.

For instance, you could block lots of crap with the proxy, thus increasing your organizations security. Does your need to spy on employees watching porn outweigh the potential benefit of not having to deal with porn viruses?

You could also use the proxy to cache pages, so that your thousands of users don't waste bandwidth downloading the same pages over and over again. You can do this without harming your ability to spy on people.

About ~3/4 of the power a drive uses goes into the spindle motor. Only a relatively small part of that is dissipated in the bearings (a quarter or so), all the rest is gas-platter friction, turbulences due to the heads etc.

I would not compare a game aimed at kids (Zelda) vs a game which is clearly more adult-focused (Witcher 3). It's like comparing a Disney movie vs an Aliens episode and asking which one is the best.

The main reason I request commits to be split up is for ease of code review. It's much easier to review three commits that each do one easily comprehensible small thing than one commit that does three things at once. It's also better if you find there's a bug -- you can bisect down to a commit that's fairly small where the bug should be easy to see, rather than one that's enormous and where the bug is hard to find among all the other changes.
This is why they will eventually be disrupted unless they change their search algorithm drastically.

Crap! I think have crashed exactly by the Haukeli tunnel. It was years ago and we were doing a mountain crossing with convoy driving through the worst parts. I was behind some old geezer and just coming out of the tunnel he gets blinded by the light/snow and slams his breaks. Me too close and eager just behind him just somehow manage to overtake him in the narrow tunnel, but unfortunately had I too fast speed and bumped the next car slightly. There was just a small mark on the car, but they still did a full checkup and sent us the bill. My boss wasn't happy, but I didn't have to pay ,even if it was 100% my fault.The following mountain crossings since that I have taken bit more easily.

Okay, here's one. The boomer's coasted on the tail end of a rising post-war economy and government largesse, then burned the ladder behind them and destroyed their legacy by electing Reagan. By any measure (college financing, wages, home prices) they were ridiculously advantaged relative to young people today, who now have to suffer under an obscenely priced regime of credentialism, largely administered (for their own profit) by Boomers.

Instead of extending these advantages to young people, they sold them down the river to an actor pretending to be a conservative, who got off on police shooting protestors and buddied up with apartheid South Africa. Why? So they could get pay less taxes and get false promises of "animal spirits" inflating their 401ks. And when the social progress they ostensibly fought so hard for came up against the wall, they chose to let schools be resegregated, throw all the POC drug users in jail, and have LGBTQ people die of AIDS (because, y'know, property values).

This disgusting rightward lurch sets the stage for a CIA scion to pretend he was a cowboy and kill half a million innocent people in the Middle East and destroy the economy. And now a parody of Reagan himself to do the same or worse, putting the nail in the coffin of Millennial's future.

And also: Ended the Cold War? Look at 2017 and think about that one. More like destroyed an already poor country with corrupt Capitalism, so the KGB could take over and come back at us even stronger.
Fair enough; I was thinking of the occasional "the whole internet is broken" CVEs we see a few times a year. My impression is that they're mostly C and mostly memory-safety, but that's a human subjective thing.

The right thing would be to weight by severity and number of users impacted, and bundle all the memory-safety vulnerabilities together (i.e. buffer overflow, double free, use-after-free, aliasing violation). I'll add it to the big list of blog posts I want to write.
