Don't think so. From what the article says, the majority of game defining data will remain the same, albeit modified to fit the new schema. Frostbolt will still be the same power, etc. The changes are to the global game infrastructure and how it interprets these data, so there will be some stuff that used to work that likely won't work now (eg wall walking) and things that were possible (speed hacking, water walking) that won't be possible now.
>Muscle relaxants may fix a addiction to alcohol at a higher rate, but likely do nothing to change an addictive personality.

addictive personality traits are to a considerable degree genetic, and even the learned parts are usually solidified in adulthood. It is almost impossible to change one's personality, this isn't a good pathway.

Stopping people from engaging in addictive behaviour is really hard, that's why the most effective way of managing addiction should be chosen. It is not a battle to be won, it is a disease to be treated.
Yes, agreed but that is what I also wrote, you should prevent catastrophic outcomes. I did not wrote anything what you implied in previous comment. I only implied that there is many technical decisions which are nowhere near to catastrophic.

"smhasher discussions" where? This is not an answer.

Especially regarding "4 min" re siphash, about which kind of attack do you talk about at all, under which conditions?

The writings of those who try to protect from flooding attacks are more specific, e.g.:

https://github.com/google/highwayhash

"The author of SipHash has published C++ programs to generate" "'universal (key-independent) multicollisions' for CityHash and Murmur. Similar 'differential' attacks are likely possible for any hash function consisting only of reversible operations"

"attackers are only looking for multiple m mapping to the same bin rather than identical hash values."

"a strong hash function is not, by itself, sufficient to protect a chained hash table from flooding attacks. However, strong hash functions are important parts of two schemes for preventing denial of service. Using weak hash functions can slightly accelerate the best-case and average-case performance of a service, but at the risk of greatly reduced attack costs and worst-case performance."

Also, please also be specific about the "regressions" you mention in another post. Your statements, in the form they are, aren't of much use.

I think I misremembered some details now. I'm not certain that their PhDs have "publish or perish", but they definitely have poor job security. The guy I know interviewed at the company's gas turbine division, not the jet engine division. And I think the company representatives were from the gas turbine division as well. The two are obviously related technologies and I would not be surprised if there was overlap between the divisions. Overall I still don't have reason to believe there's a shortage of qualifies engineers in this general area.
>Can we say Messi gets a lot of his space by not chasing the play? Yes, that’s precisely what our research shows.” Bornn said. “Is he doing it deliberately? To answer that, you’d probably have to ask the man himself.”

I will give my own experience, as a TERRIBLE sport player at any sport you can name on earth, and one of the worst soccer players you could met.

Still, eventually I was selected for many street plays (were players are more brutal, being the most nerd is a huge disadvantage, and most are very "serios" in the game).

WORST, in the streets of Colombia we play "mini soccer"/futsal. Is even more fast paced, the space is limited, and not much time to be idle, and the damm ball is heavier and HURT MUCH MUCH MORE. The goalkeeper is the more insane/brave of all. Is so fast that we don't play for time (like soccer) but up to # of scores (ie: "The game is to the first to score 12")

----

> Is he doing it deliberately?

Totally. Just the fact he walks much more and move tell it.

In my case, I do it to be usefull as bad player, I become a "strategic hindrance".

I play defense most of time, because lack of qualities for offense but also, because I play strategy because my body have not time to act fast :)

I always look at the play, and just move to where the ball must come in. Most player get in a hurry when get the ball and try hard to be liberated from the burden -and is true for "professionals" look at plays long enough and it become obvious.

So this mean a) pass it fast, or b) run like hell and pass it fast. So, I get into position and suddenly I was always in the most inconvenient of the places for the opposite team. (this was the fact I get selected: People start to note that I ruin a lot of plays!)

Rarely I'm able to get the ball, and is easy to overcome me with dribbles.

However, disrupt the flow is more than enough.

Even when other players let me alone with the goalkeeper, I just move to cover the largest angles in the field, to obstruct them.

This work most of time. I force them to fire, or try to get around me, that disrupt the flow and allow to lost control or to the goalkeeper to do his play - In mini soccer, the goalkeeper is more offensive-.

Now, because most latin-america players play from young age -mean street soccer- I suspect you quickly get a sense of movement/space faster (mini soccer mean many more plays mean many more experience).

And if you have talent, like Messi, apply the same idea and now know how take over the ball?

You have the key to victory.

This is part of an enormous cultural trend in the US that has determined that people need to be tricked or somehow otherwise eased into learning, because otherwise learning is too boring! This trend is responding to a real issue, because capitalism has so successfully neutered the common man into a entertainment/carbohydrate consuming machine that the desire or need to learn is only associated with the need to earn an income, if at all.

> We don’t start our investigations at some arbitrarily chosen point in the past; we begin where we are, from our current burning passion.

Who said anything about choosing an _arbitrary_ point in the past? What the author tries to do here is to make the past arbitrary, not interesting, perhaps less relevant than it ought to be. But that's not the problem.

The problem is that this article talks about music history being taught in the first place. In what percent of schools is music history taught in any serious manner by a serious instructor? I honestly am fundamentally perplexed by this article because I would expect first it would establish that music history should be taught in schools at all. Then the author could get into implementation specifics.

But the United States hasn't been interested in music history since Leonard Bernstein's Omnibus[0] lectures aired in the 50s, if it was even then. Today, "Classical Music" isn't for old people anymore, it's for keeping vagrants away from your property[1].

So what the author is really attacking here is the past, because more than ever the past has been deemed too boring on a massive cultural scale. This is just one example of people attempting to make palatable "the past" or whatever else is now too boring, too nerdy or too impossible for regular people to approach.

I think a lot of tech people like to exaggerate the security risks of IoT devices. While they may be "insecure", the worst thing that can happen is that someone may mess with your lights (super unlikely) or use your lights as part of a DDoS botnet (much more likely, but still rare). Most IoT things end up being quite safe since they connect out to some server, rather than allowing incoming connections, the main exception being some WiFi cameras. In fact, IoT hardware ends up being safer than routers overall.
> I certainly miss the days of exploring a brand new world, the likes I had never seen in a video game before, and helping others (and being helped by others) along the way. Wonderful times! :-)

A thousand times this. After trying the beta in it's last, open weeks, I played from the very start with an externally-organised guild, so there was always at least 10-20 people online, and we were able to be amongst the first wave of people to be levelling up on the server in a brand new game (certainly not the first, but in the top 30% of the server at least)

It was wonderful the sense of exploration - moving into places like Stranglethorn vale and not really having anybody higher running around, or all of the quest lines and items mapped out online. Definitely the best experience I've had in an MMO.

I'm under no illusion that this experience is replicable in a rebooted classic server.
It only covers personal data if it can be used to identify a natural person, so your quibble about that not being PII is a bit odd.
The problem is that even when a programmer knows what they're doing, it does not then follow that I want them doing it.
More importantly, Blizzard want to have the same security they have currently with Battle.net et al.
I generally agree with this approach, but sometimes even the
'simple' example isn't intuitive or motivating to someone; it highly depends on your audience.

E.g. a lot of math courses under my school's engineering curriculum would start off with examples from physics, but if you don't have the proper physics background or aren't interested in those applications, it's just another layer of abstraction to slog through.

My high school stats textbook would use classic problems from medicine (e.g. x/n people sampled are sick, what bounds can we put on the distribution of how many people are sick in population?), but that might not be particularly motivating to someone who has no interest in medicine or why an epidemiologist might care to know the distribution.

The best starting point to teach anything is the point that is closest to what the student understands and motivates them, but unfortunately that can vary a lot from person to person.
This is just the usual internet trolling that occurs everywhere. There's probably campaigns on various forums (e.g. 4chan) to see how many of these videos can be snuck through the filters. I'm actually surprised that Google has done as good of a job to moderate it in their children's app (if their reported 30-day 0.005% flagging rate is correct[0]).

* Becoming an influencer is the way to sales growth. There is no secret behind influencing. It's about trust. Tell people what you're doing today

Lenovo Unveils Thinkpad P52: 8th Gen Core, 128GB RAM
I think it might actually work. In teaching "history," you are always picking an essentially arbitrary starting point. I think you could easily start with something like nuclear negotations between the Soviet Union and the USA, then work backwards from there. Why was it these two powers that had nuclear weapons? Well, let's talk about World War 2... How did this Hitler guy come to power in Germany in the first place? Well, let me tell you about World War 1... Obviously there would need to be some linearity to each individual chapter, but moving backwards in time at the thematic level absolutely seems possible and even advantageous in certain respects. History is a very different subject from the sort of applied technical things you're describing. But in fact you might be making a good argument for doing it this way: you're describing the need for some kind of anchor in a knowledge graph. There probably isn't a better anchor than the current existing world as everyday people experience it. Why not start there?
I don't disagree completely, Infrastructure development prior to passing such law would have have helped.

There is a lot of land around Delhi to develop the city laterally instead of allowing 4 floor construction on a 50 square meter plots on a narrow street. How to you allow for electricity, water, and commute without creating bottlenecks. Road are already conjested and new ones cannot be constructed easily. You can go underground and that's happening (Delhi Metro Project) but it's neither easy nor cheap to build an underground transportation system under a crowded city. It all comes down to appeasement and corruption going hand in hand.

SFO might be on the other side of the spectrum with its draconian zoning laws though.

The secret sauce of Vanilla was the sense of place and sense of community. You don't need the old patch. You need persistent identities and travel time. Small populations, no server or faction transfers, and walking to dungeons is the vast majority of it. I also really miss Vanilla dungeon design, where I felt like I was exploring a dangerous place instead of having a very scripted, linear experience. I loved Blackrock Depths, Maraudon, and Blackfathom Deeps. I get why these aren't economical for developer hours, but they are a magical experience.

Looking back from the wrong end of a happy 30+ year career in software development, I think the best you can hope for is to do stuff that you find the most engaging and enjoyable in the moment.

To me, a search for "meaning" in the now is mostly an expression of hope that you can someday enjoy some long-term retrospective pride in your work. Looking back at the fun I had 20-30 years ago, it all looks completely trivial (aka mostly meaningless) compared to where the world is today. I have zero regrets, but was my career "meaningful"? Not a chance. YMMV, of course.

Keep your arms inside the vehicle and do your best to enjoy the ride while you still can.

As long as your platform meets some bare minimum standard of reliability (and every service I use seems to be able to) then content is the only thing that matters.

I think you are way overestimating the complexity. Sure, it's not something two guys are going to produce in their bedroom, but video delivery is a solved problem.

Better to organize code backwards in the first place. Within a file, I try to start with the juicy logic and then work down to the boring support functions. C++ makes this slightly inconvenient because everything has to be declared above its use, but JS lets you organize things with very few constraints.
Getting the engineering to scale fast would be difficult, but IMO isn't a fundamental issue. Streaming video is basically a solved problem and is not where the money is.

I think you have to think of the "actors" in ActorDB as shards, not as actors in the "actor model" sense. The nomenclature here is unfortunate, because actors themselves are sharded.

This is a database that permits any application to read and write data without coupling it to a specific language or platform, e.g. Erlang. You just write SQL. People know SQL. The difference is that your app must be shard-aware, which can be an acceptable compromise for apps that wants to scale far. The sharding also gives you some measure of enforced encapsulation, since you can't have foreign keys (that I know) across actors.

This project might be particularly suitable for SaaS-type multitenant systems that need to have a clear boundary between each tenant.

A Clear Look at the Issue of Resolution
> the effort of having the debate is much more time and resource-intensive than just accepting one of the solutions.

Man, have you ever seen bad code?

For an example, suppose someone comes up with the idea of making dozens of mini-modules with poorly defined interfaces, each one having no clue about what's going on globally, that should somehow contribute to solving a simple problem. Each interacts with each other through some sort of worm hole where you have only a vague idea what's on the other side.

Another possibility is to look at the requirements as a whole and write a single module that solves the problem in a straightforward way. Now, should one accept the first idea and write 3 or 4 times the amount of hard to code, the code being unmaintainable because the interactions between the many moving parts are very hard to understand? Just because everybody thinks that's how it should be done?
Well, I suppose OK, fair enough. Maybe for the likes of technical history, Newtonian mechanics is easier to understand than Relativistic mechanics, and the same holds for a variety of other scientific theories. Though I'd put forward that in teaching the old ones before the most recent ones, we end up with lots of people who end up not studying the latter at all and not grokking how or why, insofar as we understand things at least, light speed is a speed limit in our universe.

But then, as you correctly point out, some fields change in such a way that knowledge of their histories is nonessential for understanding their current state.

As to history proper, explaining the cold-war era proxy wars warrants a dive into WW2 and the onset of the cold war at some point; which then naturally leads you to dive into GD and WW1 as to why there was a WW2 in the first place; and why there was a WW1 to begin with; and why there was so much German-French animosity then; and why Europe was a powder keg at the time; etc. One can go on and on all the way back to the Roman Empire and Classical Greek history.

I'm admittedly an armchair historian at best, but methinks reversing the arrow of time in history books might yield a very interesting take on the topic that is a lot more approachable to kids and teenagers.
I won't. The notion that Shkreli did next to nothing wrong because he only gouged insurance companies is one I have seen echoed too much. It bears refuting when it comes up lest people see such assertions go unchallenged and don't consider the implications.
There could be many such hubs. They don't have to control the content, just buy the (non-exclusive) right to distribute it.
I had a history book in school which basically attempted to tell history backward. It didn't work very well in my opinion. The problem is, telling history backwards makes for en extremely "whiggish" view of history where everything is understood in the frame of how it lead to the current state of the world. It makes it very hard to escape hindsight bias.
Decent job of pointing out that many similar problems exist in different areas. They could also have mentioned Microsoft's attempt at a self-teaching chatbot that went full fascist in a surprisingly short amount of time.

Much of it illustrates how surprisingly difficult it is to get algorithms to replace human judgement, and how easy it is to think you've done it when you haven't. We look at instances of humans making poor judgements and tend to think , "an algorithm could improve on that". It turns out, human judgement does better than you think, compared to the task of automating that in an algorithm. Self-driving cars, I am looking at you.
