Are you thinking of a voxel grid when your are talking about a grid? A grid acceleration structure is different from that: each cell is a variable length list of the contents of the cell. So in case of a sparse voxel grid you would have a coarse grid with the cells pointing to voxel grids iff there is at least one non-empty voxel inside the volume. So you're only allocating memory for blocks that have some voxel information to store. The coarse grid itself is just a set of list headers which don't have a high memory requirement (a few MB maybe).

The continued existence of an MS-DOS port doesn't detract from versions for current operating systems in the slightest... Vim and Emacs even maintain current ports for MS-DOS and I doubt anyone is going to give them up just because a DOS port exists.

NetHack 4 is a radical shift for the game, and many of its ideas were incorporated into NetHack 3.6 (the upstream project), I think even its developer was placed onto the devteam for upstream NetHack while maintaining the fork simultaneously. It's a cool project, but NetHack 3.x is the conservative one, both in gameplay and in maintaining ports to operating systems of yesteryear (they clearly aren't against removing them, but they support them when there is at least one person to maintain it).

Retina MacBook Pro 2012 is the worst laptop I've ever saw. Extremely bad quality, it had bad SSD from the start (no problems there except I had to wait a month for repair) and it started to fall apart after two years of usage. It's barely usage now. Thankfully I was smart enough to buy a PC for half a price and got twice of performance.
I worked in this market for a long time, and the biggest single problem with making software for conferences is that your users aren't your customers. Furthermore, your customers only have a rough understanding of what the users might want. Event attendees don't tend to provide detailed feedback to organizers.

This is why event apps tend to suck -- they're designed to appeal to people who aren't going to use them. To be successful, you have to actually figure out what users want _and_ convince your customers that you know better than them. This is incredibly difficult.

Also, organizers generally aren't invested in promoting your product. They buy your product in the hope that it will magically make their event more successful. It takes a lot of one-on-one training and coaxing to get most of them to participate. This is an extremely support-heavy market, and thus labor-intensive. Even as a startup, you rapidly end up needing dedicated customer support staff.

Also also, as it seems you discovered, there are a ton of pitfalls with building a product that is intended to be used by large groups of people, all at once, in a time-sensitive context, in a single enclosed environment, on their variously capable mobile phones. That makes failures nearly always catastrophic, and it erodes the average experience as well -- there's always people with some sort of bizarre cheapo phone that breaks in obscure ways, and those people also complain loudly and frequently.

Something that always messes with my sense of the passage of time and how the world works are _old_ fakes.

Often what seems to happen is that people get bamboozled by an 1840s fake of a painting done in 1790. It's old enough that many of the modern detection techniques don't exist, etc. In the article's case the fakes were only caught out because someone noticed that the buildings in the paintings only went up after the artists death.

If this were a job interview, then I'd say "put the spare bags in with the laptop"...

Or the "bag" can be the laptop's existing case. You can put seals (stickers, or the sparkly nail polish trick mentioned below) over all the fasteners and seams of the laptop, fill all the non-power ports with epoxy, etc. None of these make tampering impossible, but they can make it uneconomic.

I don't think anyone at serious risk of these kinds of attacks lets computers out of their physical control. I've seen agencies that do the seals/epoxy even for computers inside their secure facilities, presumably to give their guards more time to catch an inside tamperer.
Traditionally in UK it would have been mid-career, now it's maybe two-fifths.

However, there's a massive drop in fertility and ability to conceive at 40 - which makes it biologically v significant.

In my limited experience it's when one can no longer get away with ignoring health & fitness without major consequences.

It's pretty close to midlife: UK life expectancy of you were born in 2016 was M 79.1/82.9 (per Google search).

I contend it's not "very young" by any useful metric.

> All I pointed out was that the text of the sentence is wholly irrelevant to the comment you replied to, as it was not trying to make the case that this was not banned or not what was officially used.

And your point is still wrong, as the original comment mentioned Copernicus as somehow not problematic for the Church, and Galileo being sentenced only because he was annoying or something.

The actual fact is that not only Galileo's but the Copernicus' book remained banned by he Church for the next 200 years after the sentence, in spite of the scientific discoveries in these 200 years.

Also, the "comment" I "replied to" claimed explicitly that it is "a false story about Galileo being locked up for promoting heliocentrism. That is not why he was locked up." Which is provably wrong by reading the sentence. It is completely relevant, as is the status of the sentence in the Church in the next almost four centuries: Heliocentric just means "the sun in the center". There is surely a broader background behind, but Galileo was explicitly and provably sentenced by the Inquisition for, in the very words of the sentence:

"vehemently suspected of heresy" "that the sun is the center of the world"

Note, he was explicitly sentenced for being "vehemently suspected of heresy" which was for the Church at that time significant, being "vehemently suspected" was one of the different levels of punishable acts. The Christianity has traditionally the concept of mere thoughts being a direct punishable sin:

From the Christ's words from "Sermon on the Mount": "but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) And adultery is the sin from the 10 commandments. The direct words of both the Father and the Son.

Which heresy it was, was in the sentence explicitly stated: "that the sun is the center of the world" (i.e. heliocentric world).

It was explicitly not just "because he was pretty antagonizing to the pope of the time" as the ban of Galileo's book in the very sentence, and the ban of Copernicus' book, both of which lasted for the 200 years after the sentence, are an obvious proof, and also that the Church kept that sentence valid for centuries:

Only in 1990ies, 350 years later, 25 years after the first Moon landing, the Church only a bit distanced itself from the sentence of Galileo, through the words of Pope John Paul II, who admitted that "the theologians of the time, when they maintained the centrality of the Earth" (i.e were against the heliocentric view) made an "error".

It is as direct and explicit as it can be. And it was obvious for 350 years, definitely not only to "the pope of the time".

Anecdotally, I’ve either bought Macs for my business or contracted with companies providing Macs since 2006 and until the current crop of MacBook Pros I’ve heard of very few issues and even fewer that weren’t fixed quickly under warrantee.

My only issue was a faulty power supply on my 1,1 MacBook Pro and it was fixed, for free, after the warrantee had expired.

But that’s anecdotes for you, not worth very much compared to actual stats.

I’ve heard more than a few stories from people about how they’ve repaired their own Thinkpad. When I hear them though I just think, your laptop failed and you had to repair it yourself.

My current MacBook Pro is a late 2013 model, it seems as good as the day I bought it bar a few scratches.

I don’t want my laptop be easily repairable, I _need_ it have a bathtub graph of reliability and not go wrong in the first place.

As a counter point I know two people with emoji bar MacBook Pros and both had issues with dust in the keyboard so I haven’t upgraded.

That's interesting, so you see convincing someone paying say $10,000 a week as long as he sees progress as good, slowly exchanging it for stock at a set valuation, as harder than shelling out $2M out of the pocket in one bulk amount?

I have experience of the former (well, it was more like $5K in my case) and it wasn't hard at all, i struggle to imagine myself raising $1M at once. $5K a week sounds like too little, but as far as hiring coders go, as i am in East Europe, it's like $10K in West Europe or $20K in the Valley, not insignificant.

Maybe that's just shyness/psychological barrier? I struggle to imagine myself saying someone 'give me a million bucks and we'll build this cool thing and get rich', but asking for 'decent salaries for these good guys and myself, so we don't have to go to Upwork, plus covering our AWS costs' is whole lot easier for me, and it works.

1.) Selling to a customer is hard.

2.) Selling to a customer that must then sell your product to its customer is at least an order of magnitude harder, and may be one of the hardest tricks for a new business to pull-off successfully.

Simply put, you don't have the branding to convert the end customer nor the control over that second sales process. Compounding this is that your product is not a priority for your direct customer and is not mission-critical to them in addressing their actual priorities. Thus, they will not engage nearly the focus required to address item 1 above in selling your product to its customers (i.e. end-users).

This last point can't be stressed enough. As entrepreneurs, our products are our focus and we tend to project that priority onto others.

The only way this model will work is if:

a.) The product is extraordinarily compelling/valuable to the end user in the same sense as would form the basis for building any viable business

AND

b.) The product is easy for your customer to sell to the end user in a frictionless manner (easy to communicate, requires no onboarding or support from your customer, etc.)

AND EITHER:

c.) Your product were mission-critical to your direct customer (preferred)

OR

d.) There was an immediate value to be had for your customer from introducing the product to the end user (monetization, good will, etc)

It seems that you have achieved only b (perhaps) and d in this equation, and then only to varying degrees. If you cannot pivot to solving the other variables then you should shut it down now.
> Alcohol and nicotine are some of the most addictive drugs out there

Nicotine alone is not actually that addictive. I use it as a nootropic and have not seen any signs of getting addicted. Yet years ago I struggled to give up smoking.

With pure nicotine I simply forget to use it for weeks at a time in spite of the large benefits I personally get from using it to aid hard thinking.

Some more here https://www.gwern.net/Nicotine

There are many other substances in tobacco smoke other than nicotine that seem to be far more addictive. Add on the reinforcement from the smell/taste and handling the cigarette and it is a different beast.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Did you really just say "you're doing it wrong"? If the system allows it, then the system is at fault. Either we decide that the system can absorb such failures, or you should suggest a mechanism for preventing such behavior. "You're playing my game wrong, I hope you fail!" is churlish.

> we must face the social implications of substance abuse

True. But we must also face up to the costs of regulation. The illegality of recreational drugs delivers $1 trillion into the hands of organized crime per annum, for example. The corruption, the adulterated product, the incentives to hook people, destruction of whole Latin American countries, etc etc.

I am not accusing you of this, but there is often an implicit assumption that regulations can be put in place for no cost. An assumption that is often wildly wrong.
