If you consider web to be "high quality UI paradigm", then you might be seriously interested in learning other UI tools. You know like literary any other UI library on Earth where vertical centering of one element in another is just a basic functionality not a task that requires a hack.

As a film editor, and admittedly a Walter Murch fanboy, I still partially agree with your argument. I think, however, Murch is getting at something deeper here that he needs to elaborate on. I'm an Ebert fan as well, but you're comparing a critic to an engineer.

Real quick, this Citizen Kane bit is misleading. Welles's use of rack focus was noteworthy, but it was his use of deep focus that was the true wonder. It is much more noteworthy and famous, and possibly what you are meaning to refer to. It was a feat of engineering and lighting at the time, and not at all a paradigm shift as much as notch on the linear progression of film engineering.

Murch really did write the book on film editing. In The Blink Of An Eye is a short and to-the-point text book on film editing, an offers a simple theory as to why it works, which can be figured by the title. The theory seemed too simple to me the way he explained it, but I've come to understand he essentially means that film cuts are not jolting because we are used to blinking. Whether he is correct or not, the nuance of this understanding would basically argue there is a threshold for which the jolt could be overridden by an evolved necessity for being able to blink (and possibly other similar less-than-linear occurances in optical living).

Murch goes on, in the book, to apply this theory and he argues that elements such as narrative, beauty, concept and other cognitive intrigue can widen the threshold. All in all, he makes the what is probably the best argument so far for how and why the engineering of filmmaking magic works.

His book is the seminal textbook on film editing and worshiped by filmmakers generation after generation for it's timeless truths, because these truths offer a simple way for filmmakers to make decisions in their craft. They don't encroach on any style or technical achievement. Despite the practical delivery, they are essentially theoretical psychology.

He also pioneered digital editing.

I don't believe Murch is immune to Clarke's first law, but he is no Ebert. Murch is no critic. He is an engineer, and while this post doesn't get into the specifics, his claims here are supported in his battle-tested texts.
No, but I'm sure that given the right financial incentives (hint: third-party) they'd be open to implementing this in practice.

While there's no reason this is fundamentally impossible, there are several difficulties:

- Forge doesn't really have an API layer and expects devs to work directly against deobfuscated Minecraft code. Mods break every Minecraft version.

- Forge-level mods require cooperation from the client, beyond what the official client offers. Forge mods are structured so the same mod file runs on both clients and servers.

- Because of this, a server reimplementation providing Forge features must do one of three things: compromising on open-source by releasing a client mod, reimplementing the Minecraft client (hard, and hard to get people to use), or mods splitting in Forge-based client halves and new-API-based server halves (code duplication, hard to convince modders to not just use Forge).

Canabis as a short term harm reduction tool may be good or useful for some people, but there may be danger in the long term, especially wrt overdosing if/when opioid relapse occurs. Also, the sample size of 37 & heavily weighted toward self selected back-pain sufferers is concerning. Also the quality of life survey does not appear to be one that is normed. Overall I would agree with their conclusion. I'm interested in larger studies, especially longer term. Edit: laRger
I am allergic to marijuana, but I fully support the legalization of medical marijuana.

I was on steroids for my condition. Steroids are really hard on the body. My first two attempts to quit landed me back on additional medication. One involved an ER visit and a week in bed. Doctors never told me I needed to taper off, nor provided other support for helping me get off the steroids. Trying to quit was creating potentially life threatening crises for me. Doctors were not proactively helpful to me in escaping this trap that kept me on the steroids because trying to quit was threatening to kill me.

An internet friend told me I needed to taper off, that going cold turkey was too hard on the body. A different internet friend told me to take guaifenesin, the active ingredient in Mucinex. Over time, internet friends helped me sort out that generics were tolerated better by me because they lack the blue dye and the time release stuff. They are also cheaper. One internet friend hand-packed pills for me as a Christmas gift to make sure I could get this drug with zero additives and in a lower dose than you can purchase OTC.

This not only helped me get off the steroids, it helped me get off of multiple other prescription drugs over a period of several years. Addicts are not people who lack self discipline. They are people who need practical help to get free of the prison of their drugs. Our current approach frequently helps to actively make it harder or impossible for them to do that.

Most doctors completely suck at helping patients effectively get off drugs. They are in the business of prescribing drugs and surgeries and can be shockingly oblivious to relatively cheap, simple solutions that can provide a patient with stepped down intervention so trying to quit isn't akin to hurling yourself off a cliff.

And then we blame the addict for failing to get to the other side on their own. We have to stop this.

What?

The core developers (employed by Blockstream) have intentionally kept the block size at 1MB in order to support the product they're attempting to develop (lightening network layers) which lets them facilitate federated payment processors siphoning fees out.

It's a red herring to claim larger blocks increase centralization when it's just data storage. Drives are cheap. Centralization already happened once sha256 ASIC hardware was produced enmasse, preventing normal users from earning block rewards. The Bitcoin devs are lost in political dogmas, rather than improving the software for users.

Thankfully there's alternative iterations.

> lowest common denominator of OS features

Not sure I agree here. There are a great many browser features (e.g. web speech api for recognition and tts, webrtc, etc) that are just not lowest common denominator. Even if we stick with UI only, features like cross platform vector graphics are not trivial. Of course some libs like qt abstract it, but you're back to your same complaint except it's qml, css, and js (or often times worse, c++ if using widgets)
That's just stupid. Unless everyone earns exactly the same amount down to the centre, there will always be a bottom third.

I've always felt we should incentivise being rich over poor. So for example your tax rate should go down as you get richer. That will push poor people to work harder and get rich. Otherwise we end up with a situation like Europe where life is better if you're poor or a criminal (see Norway jail's).

EDIT: After posting, I realized that I might argue that it would make sense to me if Murch were to argue that editing doesn't work the same in 3D. And, I expect that wouldn't be much of a surprise to most of us.

If that's the case, we could be losing something and gaining other things. That is not unheard of in the history of art and technology, and something we should probably all accept.
If you're interested in doing anything with Minecraft where starting from the official client/server won't cut it, #mcdevs is the right place.

I have no idea about what the players want these days. The large-player-count servers I believe still use instancing and transferring players between servers to support those numbers.

The other hard part is the game's mechanics. You'd need a lot of careful game design to reign in the destructible nature of the game world and all its contents. Minecraft isn't about questing and loot, it's about construction, and if you're not leveraging this you might be better served by making your own game. Large servers typically address this with round-based deathmatch or deathmatch-like gameplay, not really what you seem to be interested in.
AI is decidedly not the answer. Formal verification is the answer, and tooling around it.
Luckily I haven't had the need to create pdfs yet now that I'm using Go. However, if I would, I would generate LaTeX instead of PDFs directly. I did the same in Python a and it has turned out great: https://github.com/JelteF/PyLaTeX

The API can be made much more high level, because of all functionality and packages LaTeX has. The most important thing is to have a good escape function that is used by default for all text, otherwise it's very easy to execute arbitrary shell commands for an attacker. If anyone wants to create a Go package similar to mine, feel free to contact me if you want any more advice (email in github profile).

That is false. There were even rollbacks in the early days. Don’t talk about a subject you haven’t personally experienced or taken the time to research.
> Imagine planet Earth began its existence a mere 10,000 years ago, with all fossil records in place and carbon-14 well into decaying.

It's very subtle, but this is not the same as the Creationist myth prevalent in the U.S.

The Creationist myth looks more like this:

1. The believer appeals to authority by claiming that the Earth is 10,000 years old because that's what is written in the source of all truth-- the Bible.

2. A scientist asks for clarification by generously filling in the missing steps with the most obvious and logically sound interpretation she can muster-- namely, that this means God must have created the Earth "with all fossil records in place and carbon-14 well into decaying."

3. The believer answers, "Yes."

I know the author isn't claiming that her thought experiment is the same as the religious myth. But since millions of Americans actually believe the Creationist myth, I think it's important to keep in mind that it is practiced much less as a foray into the epistemology of science and much more like a simple phishing expedition.
You can't dismiss all of them as 1.5x. Recall the binary patching done by Microsoft a few days ago. That's the work of at least a 5x guy if not 10x.

I've known several individuals (and they have known significantly more, themselves) for whom legal cannabis was able to help them break opioid addiction.

I know this study is about chronic pain, but it's (anecdotally, I admit) helpful even without physical pain. And it's worth considering that legalizing cannabis can help these populations get some of the help they need -- and get on drugs that won't kill them, put them in the hospital, or cost them so much money they'll commit horrible crimes to get their fix.
At least he is willing to test his hypothesis with a scientific experiment. Although I doubt his rocket making skills if he hasn't figured out that the earth is round yet.

This is the big one. Glowstone was designed to be a native implementation of the Bukkit API (back when it was still on top), and I assure you that that API, and thereby every plugin built against it, makes some heavy single-threadedness assumptions.

Even if you conceive an API from scratch, Java hasn't the tools to prevent plugin authors from doing things they shouldn't in this regard.
This worked quite fine and the output is more than satisfactory. We were looking to replace both a slow interpreted PDF renderer and a Webkit-based solution, the first one not up to our standards and the second one too much of a security gamble for the nature of the project.

I wouldn't recommend it however if your design is complex, you're on a very tight schedule and you can stomach Webkit. Truth is Gofpdf requires careful coding and testing to make sure you're drawing things in the right places. You draw using simple primitives positioned around the page with a "cursor"; not something that lends itself to pumping out flashy results in little time.

«a lot of random reads»

This is not true at all. On the last 10 blocks (495808-495817, ~6000 seconds) there were 22,277 txns and 49,746 txn inputs. That means a full node needs to look up on average only 8.3 inputs per second in the UTXO database. Assuming 1 I/O per lookup, that's 8 IOPS, which is a trivial workload, even on a non-SSD setup.

I am the author of this blog.zorinaq.com post and I can assure you the real-world I/O workload I see on this $5/month node is negligible.
This was the original reason for the language choice: native compatibility with Bukkit plugins.
> Also, running a full Bitcoin node on a machine with a spinning rust disk and a relatively small amount of RAM is going to be hell

Is anyone even actually doing that? Even several years ago when I last did it, the blockchain was 60+GB (now it's more than twice that) and you were never, ever going to get anything out of it other than heating the room up.

The way I thought most people were going was using something like Electrum, where you still have your own private wallet that nobody else controls, but you're not yourself a full node.
Latex is very easy to generate from any programming language, because it's just text. I created a Python package for it with an easy and extensible API: https://github.com/JelteF/PyLaTeX

If you want to create something similar, be sure to escape untrusted input though. With an escape function similar to the one in my library. Otherwise it's very easy for an attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
I played through COD WW2 a couple of weeks ago. The single player campaign is great.

My dad and I used to play the original Call of Duty together when I was a boy. Technically, we played CoD: United Offensive, which has the best multiplayer in any video game ever, as far as we're concerned. We used to swap war stories over dinner, much to my mother and sister's frustration, I'm sure.

COD: WW2's single player captures some of the original game's feel. And yes, the faces are great. It helps draw you into the story between gameplay.

The multiplayer has sadly evolved into something much less interesting. My dad and I won't be playing it together.

I’m suggesting only that form-letter comments or statements of support or opposition, unaccompanied by substantive facts, analysis, or argument, don’t do much to develop the administrative record, which is the point of taking public comment in rulemaking proceedings.

Agencies must consider the comments, but as 'JumpCrisscross points out, they don’t have to accept the commenters’ views. The outcome is determined not by submitting the most or best comments, but by electing Senators and Representatives to enact statutes defining agencies’ authority and responsibilities, and by electing a President to appoint their officials.

If you’re new to administrative procedure, you might find it interesting to read though the entire dockets in some less-notable proceedings, to get an idea of how it usually works: an agency issues a notice of proposed rulemaking; interested parties make comments (and sometimes reply comments) with their views, data, analyses, and legal arguments; and then the agency issues a final rule, usually explaining how they considered and accepted or rejected the commenters’ positions.

It’s rare for comments to cause a proposed rule to be abandoned entirely, but they often influence the myriad details—definitions, exceptions, compliance deadlines, technical specifications—that make administrative regulations a practical tool of representative government.

Yeah this. JavaScript spaghetti code dependencies are even worse when you inherit a project with a bunch of hacked modules and you have to spend a few hours unraveling the mess to determine how to implement a new feature because the code was written by a handful of different devs who are no longer working on it or otherwise available to share insight into the decisions they made in the first place.
