Question: is the absolute number of high-quality games released every year going up or down? It's blatant that the average quality has been on a downhill trend since the advent of mobile gaming. But, are many pay-to-win games also good as works of art? Or just good drugs?

I have a feeling the power of contrast is at work, though I'm not really 'into' gaming enough to bring much evidence to bear.

Going back from 100+ microservice to 1 monolith is another extreme to me...Perhaps you can have 10 macroservices.

And shared library shouldn't contain business logic...
The article implies it has to do with the racial discrimination at people of color.
You could also try to devise optimal hyperparameters by genetic algorithm (or similar global optimizer) for every architecture with a big fixed number of generations.

That should be apples to apples comparison... Or best to best. At the same time fragility of hyperparameters can be evaluated.

I really appreciate the detailed analysis in the article.
Many years ago, it was. Parrot is a separate team, and was designed to be the "mother of all VMs" with Perl 6 as its sort of halo language implementation. It split off as the Perl 6 project matured and needed to own the vm/compiler.

I think you nailed it. More than half of the em dashes and en dashes I type are a result of Word correcting a pair of hyphens in a row. I write "Foo--but not bar" and it renders “Foo—but not bar”. There are no curly quotes on my keyboard either, but any decently professional typesetting uses them of course.
Why not use a package manager to publish a library for a destination?

Then just release a package and reference it whenever there is a change to the target.

Should work well in either a monolith or micro service.
I’ve been tracking the comments and my sense is that almost no one here believes the business domain drives the technical solution.

Microservices, when constructed from a well-designed model, provides a level of agility I’ve never seen in 33 years of software development. It also walls off change control between domains.

My take from the Segment article is that they never modeled their business and just put services together using their best judgment on the fly.

That’s the core reason for doing domain driven design. When you have a highly complex system, you should be focused on properly modeling your business. Then test this against UX, reporting, and throughput and build after you’ve identified the proper model.

As for databases, there are complexities. Some microservices can be backed by a key-value store at a significantly lower cost, but some high-throughput services require a 12-cylinder relational database engine. The data store should match the needs of the service.

One complexity of microservices I’ve seen is when real-time reporting is a requirement. This is the one thing that would make me balk at how I construct a service oriented architecture.

My comment is not a "shallow dismissal" of the work presented. In fact i have created solutions for the exact same problem in a similar way. The comment was exclusively pointing out that the solution and tools used in it, should not be classified as AI.
True, of course it's a simplification. What I meant to say is that the militaristic argument will always be that you'd rather avoid war, but you're forced into it. This doesn't mean that it's never true- but rather that you should be highly suspicious of the claim.

Guns can be used for good, and they can be used for bad - exactly the same as cryptography. Child porn is something that relies exclusively on exploiting people who cannot in any way consent to the actions involved. It's in no way comparable. The conversation beyond this depends on your view of the role of government, and opinions there vary. I see the role of the government as maximizing freedom and liberty for people to live and prosper (or fail) in accordance with their own actions. Banning items which the vast majority are completely capable of handling responsibly because of a tiny minuscule of abusers is not something that I think the government should ever do.

And really the fundamental problem is not guns, it's people wanting to hurt other people. London is a good example of this issue. As the demographics and state of that city have changed, their crime and murder rates have soared. Even with extremely strict gun control, they managed to briefly surpass New York City in murders. This has now led their government to begin to implement, literally, "knife control" along with "acid control" given a rise in people spraying others with things such as drain cleaner, as a weapon. And when the perpetrators start killing people with steel rods, will we then move to try to ban weights? If people want to kill or hurt each other, they're going to find a way. Looking at the way is missing the actual problem - which is the people that want to kill or hurt other people.

"The ubiquity of this issue is evidenced by the paper introducing the Adam optimizer [35]. In the course of introducing an optimizer with strong empirical performance, it also offers a theorem regarding convergence in the convex case, which is perhaps unnecessary in an applied paper focusing on non-convex optimization. The proof was later shown to be incorrect in [63]."

I strongly disagree here. Researchers, please keep trying to prove that your proposed optimizers are correct, even if you can only manage to prove it for a subclass of problems, and even if it risks publishing an accidentally incorrect proof.

Arm kills off its anti-RISC-V smear site after own staff revolt
I always say that there's a difference between "because of" and "in spite of".

I remember a hamburger restaurant that opened up. It had very good hamburgers and was very popular. The staff were always singing. It was a singing hamburger restaurant. About a year after it opened, I noticed a lot of other singing hamburger restaurants opening up. They all failed miserably -- mostly because their hamburgers weren't very good. After about 2 or 3 years the popular hamburger restaurant folded. They still had really good hamburgers, but the singing was really annoying and eventually nobody wanted to go there any more.

Interestingly, around the same time I heard of other singing hamburger restaurants in other cities. I always wondered if it was some horrible cargo cult fad, or if it was just a coincidence.

This is a problem you get when senior leadership is excessively confident, don’t know enough about engineering and underestimate the difficulties of software. «Why not just do this to solve your problems?» The response will often be «won’t work/already doing it/will have unintended consequences/impossible to do cheaply».
I...don't follow. Are you claiming to be an Apple insider with knowledge of said project and can prove it actually did fail? Without that I'm not sure how you can say it was a failure or not from the outside. You literally know almost nothing about the project.

I could think of dozens of reasons one might do this. Sure they'd likely be wrong but I don't understand the view point of "it's obviously a failure but everyone is giving Apple a pass".
thanks! we will fix it asap.

The 20 Best Essays on Building Marketplace Startups

Apple fandom is amusing. In the early iPhone days, when they had screen scratch problems, I said that they should use a sapphire coating, like the checkout scanners at Home Depot. Those survive steel tools being dragged across them all day for years. Fanboys insisted that sapphire was unnecessary. "You don't need that much scratch resistance". "Costs too much". Etc.

Then Apple announced they were going to put a sapphire coating on their screen glass. Fanboys then insisted that sapphire was the Next Big Thing, and phones without it were inferior.[1]

Then Apple's sapphire scheme fell through, after they pressured their sapphire supplier into contract terms that put the company out of business. Apple went back to Corning's hardened glass. Fanboys followed the company line and insisted sapphire was unnecessary and would crack.[2]

Kyocera and HTC make phones with sapphire screens, but Apple fans don't talk about that.

If ARM didn't attack RISC-V I would not even know about them. Going to read about them now.
Lol, of course you need a general understanding of how your database works on the inside. There are a million different ways you can store your data and I would argue that choosing your data storage is the most important and tricky decision we have to make as software engineers.

Back at my first big tech company, I remember reading the best document I have ever read related to software engineering. It was entirely devoted to choosing your database/storage system. The very first paragraph of the document was entirely devoted to engraining in your head that "choosing a database is all about tradeoffs". They even had a picture where it just repeated that sentence over and over to really engrain it in you.

Why? Because every database has different performance characteristics such as consistency, latency, scalability, typing, indexing, data duplication and more. You really need to think about each and every one because choosing the wrong database/not using it correctly usually cause the biggest problems/most work to solve that you will ever have to face.

I want to work for a world with free flow of information, where individuals should not be responsible alone for the mistakes of a multi-billions organization. If any company can do it better than Apple somewhere in the world, then let them build on what Apple developed. The culture of open source should spread at all levels of research & engineering, in all fields.

Cost of information transmission and movements of people will continue to decrease.

We should respect individuals rights about privacy, but disregard organization level's attempt at secrecy, and aim for transparent organizations all around the world. Such big organization should not be able to attack individuals without anyone questioning the processes going on inside of it.

Depending on what you want your project to do, you don't need to connect a phone number to a SIM card. Twilio does that for you, letting you use their API to send and receive SMS (text) messages with other phone numbers. It's the recipient's phone number, not your Twilio one, that's connected to a SIM card.

What the linked post here talks about is using a device that's basically a mobile phone in a USB stick form factor to send and receive SMS like you'd do on a mobile phone. You buy a SIM, insert it into the device, and start texting. That's the other side of what your Twilio project would do.

Since I feel like I didn’t address the core of your latter point: the difference here is that I don’t violate any agreements with my employer by stating a simple opinion. I put myself at risk when I explain that with information that is 1) worth pageviews and incidniary writing and 2) violates the trust of people I respect who have shared their own anecdotes with me. I could paint broad strokes but that doesn’t help folks understand things any better than if I just elided it entirely.
I never found them stressful. I don't even know which aspect is supposed to be stressful. The ones I played a lot were literally catered to people who cant or wont commit hours long stretches of time. I know about one stressful mobile game, but that was not pay to win and was not successful.

Limited scope playable demo/intro were pretty much non-existent for years. Creators argued that demo lowers sales. Which is possible, but I stopped playing games entirely, because too many turned out not what I expected and very disappointing after I bought.

I never understood paying for cosmetics, honestly. I would pay to support creator, but it is not something I ever cared about and perceive as waste of money.

To me, it looks like that site was not created by ARM, no one was able to prove ARM created it, and it could be just a scam to attack ARM's public image. That's bad journalism right there.
If you had understood them, you wouldn’t have made the statements you made. The delineation between /opt, /var/opt and /etc/opt is intentional: when the content in /opt and /etc/opt is packaged, only /var/opt/application needs to be backed up because that is the variable portion, the data. There are other factors like the linker mapping and ABI versioning consumed by the runtime linker as well as a separate stack of shared object libraries that play into this scheme, since except for libc and libstdc++ the libraries used with the OS aren’t supposed to be linked with. That’s how I can see you haven’t grasped the enirety of the subject matter at hand, which is why you were told to go read some more. Packing each application in her own directory with her own libraries might be convenient, but it’s dumb because of all the library code duplication, storage consumption and the nightmare which will ensue come time to patch the software. These kinds of stupidities are reserved for Microsoft®️ Windows®️ but have no place on UNIX®️ where operational maintainability and stability are the highest of priorities. I’m running infrastructure across datacenters here, not putzing around with a lone application. My worries are ever so slightly broader than concerns of individual lone desktop PC developers with only convenience in mind.

I work for an ISP and we do not track our customers. At all. We bill them and they receive a reliable service that performs as advertised. Maybe we could go back to the oldschool model of actually selling a product or service, delivering it to the customer, and keeping the customer happy?

>We’ll be ‘randomly choosing’ lots of points on spheres of various dimensions. Whenever we do this, I mean that they’re chosen independently, and uniformly with respect to the unique rotation-invariant Borel measure that’s a probability measure on the sphere. In other words: nothing sneaky, just the most obvious symmetrical thing!

There are an infinite number of probability distributions over most objects, yes, but there's also often a good default that is the "uniform" distribution. That's what they're talking about here.
When debugging code that are close to the metal such as device drivers or interrupt service routines, the code's behavior is very tightly coupled to the metal.

For example, the interrupt service routine that your debugging could not reacting fast enough and you need to find out why? Priority of the said interrupt is correctly configured and it is blocked by a higher priotiy interrupt. This type of behaviour difficult to track down if a debugger is not used.
It seems like it will help keep the overall rigity of the road but it says nothing about how the material will break into pieces on the exterior layers.

Best mind boosters :

1. Never, ever, sacrifice good sleep.

2. Eat well, or at least don`t eat junk and too many carbs throughout the day (will get sleepy at least)

3. Exercise in moderation. Bonus points for working after exercise while the mind is boosted with happy chemicals.

4. Reduce stress, cognitive load with dumb stuff (news, gossip, things we can not influence) and give less *ucks in general about random things in life.

A stainless steel solder paste stencil, which now costs about $25[1], would probably work well. Those are thin (3 to 8 mils), so the parts aren't going to get stuck in a deep hole. They're usually used in a hinged frame that puts them under tension and makes them rigid. Use one stencil for solder paste, then change to the placement stencil for part placement.

Stencils used to cost about $200, but at $25, this starts to look like a viable option.

It's possible to do serverless without lock-in, in the same way it's possible to do containers without lock-in.

At the moment serverless vendors make that hard, and the frameworks (like serverless.com) are still emerging to make that simple.

For me the problem is most people don't think through the cost/benefits. Amazon don't ever get tired of saying "never pay for idle" in their sales pitches, but quite a lot of applications out there are never idle and can be quite accurately managed in terms of scaling, and therefore you're actually paying a premium for something you don't need.
I'm considering Ritalin and would very much like to hear more about your new study methods.
