During the OpenAI stream where they first played against 5 other players, they said that the AI isn't picking items at all, it's just using pre-made recommended item lists. They also said that the match was being played on an older patch so they may just not update if the upcoming patch makes large changes.

.Net Standard is what you build libraries against; its the abstract contract of the runtime.

Then .NET Framework, .NET Core, Mono, Unity, etc runtimes then implement that contract so a library built against .Net Standard will work on any of the runtimes.
Canada is not democratic socialist.
Why? Sounds similar to the maritime pilots, whose job is to maneuver all kinds of ships just for small stretches (usually near a specific port).

These would be (remote) car pilots, probably specialized in specific areas.

I'm kind of fine with Tim Cook staying as Apple's CEO, even though I don't have any particular overall sentiments either way toward the company. He seems to be the right person for the job. Elon Musk however does not seem fit to be CEO of any company right at this moment. I'm happy to be shown wrong - show us next week/quarter/year.
Not just immigration law but many types of laws and also benefits. It looks very bad to have worse health insurance for some employees than others, but you need good insurance to recruit top professionals. Solution: make all of the other people non-employees.
I've been using the Slack, GIMP, and Darktable flatpaks on Fedora Workstation (which is GNOME based), available on flathub.org, for quite a while, maybe a year - without problems. I also sometimes use Okular which is a KDE app, and by installing it, the necessary kde.Platform runtime libraries were also installed and kept up to date by flatpak - works flawlessly. There's also a LibreOffice flatpak I have installed, and it seems like the flatpak update "deltas" are smaller than RPM updates, by quite a bit.

I haven't used the feature yet, but supposedly there's a means of easily rolling back to a previous version in case an update has a bug the user can't work around. Rolling back RPM's can be non-trivial when there are many dependencies - it's way easier for me to do rollbacks of an RPM only based system by Btrfs snapshots which of course not everyone can depend on just for undoing an application update.

So I'd say this is definitely an improvement from a user perspective; and it seems no more painful and perhaps a little less painful for packagers.
It’s actually the combination of both which is a problem. As you say, diversity wouldn’t be a problem if there were no bigots and intolerant people, but conversely, bigots and intolerant people weren’t as much of a problem when there was less diversity.

That would make some key stakeholders (in the military and govt) quite unhappy, leading to difficulties staying in control, leading to prison or worse for the top. It's gotten to the point that they need to cling to power.
Could you cite this? I've heard the opposite: that Nvidia didn't chase after the crypto market /because/ a crash would cause problems (if they overproduced). Besides, they make plenty of money everywhere else. Furthermore, Intel has charged (edit: consumers) $1000+ for a chip before. The market will bear it, crypto or no crypto.
.NET's ecosystem is somewhat lacking compared to Javascript. This is what I love about node.

On the other hand, the standard library that .NET provides is superior.

From my experience, it's possible to deploy a .NET site with just a hand-full of 3rd party dependencies (if any).
This is the opposite of a garden path sentence: the first verb really is part of the sentence's main clause - i.e. the meaning of the sentence is "Whiteboards [are] used..." instead of "Whiteboards...fail".

I think you are putting too much trust in how good OpenAI is at bigger strategy right now. They have a very push focused strategy that fits with the limitations they have put on the game.

When OpenAI wins against human opponents it seems mostly be because it is so much better at cooperating and can jump the enemy so quickly. That combined with continued ferrying of regen that would not work in a normal game.
Ehhhh, not really, but the release seems a bit different this time around. The 1080 Founders Edition and 1080 Ti FE cards both debuted at $700 USD. (The 1080 Ti was released nearly a year later.) This puts it closer to the now released 2080 FE, which is $800 USD.

The 2080 Ti FE, however, is in a league closer to the Titan X/Xp, which were at $1,200. Also they're releasing the highest-end Ti edition at the same time as the ordinary version, which is a first for Nvidia, I think? (The Titan Xp was also launched after, not concurrently, with the 10xx series...) I think the concurrent launch of the 2080 Ti with the ordinary variant means they're positioning it more like an alternative to the Xp, while the non-Ti variants are closer to the ordinary gaming cards you'd normally get. In other words, for people willing to blow their price/perf budget a bit more.

For DL workloads the 1080 Ti is very cost effective (vs the Xp), so it remains to be seen which variant will have the better bang/buck ratio for those uses. I suspect the fact these include Tensor Cores at their given price point will probably be a major selling point regardless of the exact model choice, especially among hobbyist DL users. The RTX line will almost certainly be better in terms of price/perf for local DL work, no matter the bloated margins vs older series.

They may also be keeping prices a bit inflated, besides margins, so they can keep selling older stock and pushing it out. The 9xx series, as you said, continued to sell for a while after 10xx was released. I expect the same will be true this time around, too, especially with prices being so high.
> If people with modest budgets could afford to pack up and move to Columbia, Missouri, then the cost burden of housing could be mitigated somewhat. We'd probably see housing prices stabilize across the country.

I'm not sure if it's an issue with modest budgets or if it's an issue with job availability. Lots of people can pack up and move to Columbia, Missouri. But the jobs that exist here don't exist there.

If anything, being extremely poor helps with mobility. If you're living off disability, there's a pretty decent payoff to buying a Greyhound ticket to an area with cheaper rent, because you get the same disability check no matter where you live. Homeless people are similarly extremely mobile. It's the whole middle-class, have-to-work-for-a-living-and-my-job-is-right-here lifestyle that inhibits mobility.

> Probably, the only way to reverse this trend now is to raise property taxes on single family homes in desirable locations such that it becomes uneconomical to maintain them as such. Then these massive tracts of suburbia can be bought up by developers who are incentivized to build high-density housing. Of course, a serious proposal of this sort is likely to get you killed.

This kind of happens implicitly with a Land Value Tax, except there might be ways of implementing an LVT that wouldn't immediately displace single family homeowners.

Also, you don't need "massive tracts of suburbia" to build high-density housing; the whole point of high-density housing is that it doesn't take as much land. You can just leave most of suburbia alone.
I'll take these "findings" seriously when they show that pot smokers are getting divorced and fired at statistically significantly greater rates than the general population. In a country where a huge percentage of marriages end in divorce and many fields are grinds with high turnover, it's naive to just nod our heads and accept self reports of "ruined marriages" at face value.

In our highly regimented, low paid holiday, socially isolated, pedestrian hostile society, doesn't every leisurely outlet result in a fairly large percentage of heavy/habitual users? And yet some will never stop looking for a convenient bogeyman to pin all of our ills on, whether it's addictive videogames or internet porn or pinball machines or weed.
For anyone who downvotes throw in a comment so a discussion can be had! Seriously though, I don't think many foreigners realize the extent of Government ownership of essentials of Canadian life. We call them Crown Corporations and there's a list as long as my arm at [1]. They're largely well managed and successful businesses - some of them are even buying and operating US businesses (as with Ontario Power Generation's recent acquisition of New Jersey's Eagle Creek Renewable Energy [2]). Not to mention health care.

Previously Canada has had and spun off: Nationalized petroleum company (PetroCanada), package delivery company (Purolator), freight rail network (CN), airline (Air Canada) and aircraft manufacturer (Canadair).

I feel the reason many people don't associate Canada with 'real' socialism is that I feel socialism in Canada is a pragmatic and not idealistic decision in many cases. It's a massive country and as a result it's not economical to provide many essential services. These services are pragmatically socialized, and once they become profitable to operate as businesses are spun off as was done with the aforementioned.

> If any is not in good conditions, it's written down.

Having thoght about my own process, I realized that, even if all the relevant details are exhaustively documented in writing (which would be a huge waste of time/money), what's valuable to me is being able to talk to my mechanic about them.

The written report is just a summary/highlights for me (and the seller) of topics that are either directly of concern, or, as I mentioned, proxy indicators for issues that are impossible to spot with an inspection.

> If it's any important, you have to fix it and come back for a counter visit.

That is something I most definitely do not want. If there's any major maintenance or repair to be done, I trust my choice of mechanic more than the seller's.

I also very much don't want a forced repair to cover up how bad the situation had gotten previously. If the certification process doesn't include the full history, including failure/remediation, then it's a borderline scam.

> Cracks would most certainly be part of it.

And yet they aren't certain to be signal instead of noise. Context matters. Reading "surface cracks in timing belt and CV boots" is useless.

Knowing the difference between the timing belt merely showing signs of age appropriate for the age/odometer reading of the car (and that it can be replaced on schedule) versus being shockingly old and could snap at any moment, possibly bending the valves (which varies by engine design, so even that context is important), is a hugely valuable indicator.

> You can choose where you do the inspection. There are a lot of choices, it's like repair shops, but specialized into inspection.

I, the buyer, can? You've made it sound like it's the seller doing the choosing. Do sellers end up with a stack of cerificates from different buyers' choices?

> It's done by a real mechanics and it's certified.

At the risk of sounding like a No True Scotsman argument, I'm skeptical. If these shops are employing their mechanics full time, and they only perform inspections, they're not real mechanics, for my purposes.

Certification is meaningless, unless it provides the buyer with some kind of practical, monetary protection.

So, yes, useful inspection, that allows me to buy used cars that have a predictable long-term maintenance/repair cost of USD0.12/mile is hard (in the sense of tedious and time consuming). An inspection that merely prevents me from being cheated and buying a total piece of junk (in some large number of cases) may be easy, and, though not totally useless, may be close, if it doesn't improve my chances beyond random luck.

How they look like that? Do those cores support FP32 precision? I'm genuinely interested.
Turnpikes were only profitable in the pre-freeway era; trying to fund a highway on ads alone is a financial absurdity.
I'm sure it does. Even if I already was a BoA customer in this theoretical scenario, I would also prefer to be in the know to avoid that specific POS/gas station company until the issue was resolved, instead of wondering why my identity was stolen and dealing with the fallout with my bank unknowingly to blame.

>Focus on making things simple, without a need for documentation or comments.

I had a coworker that would love to make super long underscore chains without any comments. Drove me insane. I still find them here and there and break them apart into line by line commented dead simple code.

When I was in a bootcamp we'd do code golfy type things, taking advantage of the newest ES features to shrink stuff way down. Was cool then, now when I see answers like that on stack overflow I'm tempted to repost them "in English."

Don't just say no, cite some sources and have a conversation.

Two of our four major parties (the NDP and the Parti Québécois) officially adheres to a Democratic Socialist policy [1]. Sure they've not had a turn at governing though they've been the official opposition, and the NDP is currently in charge of the Alberta government. They're not some fringe party. Their platform overlaps heavily with the ruling Federal Liberals - and they're both considered "centre-left" parties.

Companies don't move because the talent won't move. As soon as you move for "cost savings" you've already told any employee you actually want working for you that engineering excellence isn't valued; so who's going to move for that.

The "crowded" part is the reason companies don't move inland. It really can't be overstated how much the quality of talent drops off as you leave regional hubs like NYC or SF. This compounds too, things may be expensive in these cities, but the amenities, job opportunities, and networks are exponentially better. Cost of living reductions evaporate when stacked up against lost future earnings (percentage raises on a smaller base + no opportunity to job hop + reduced opportunity for any potential spouse to do the same), more money spent on transportation and housing, etc.

How do you know who gets the tip? Panera used to refuse tips. Now I go in and I'm presented with tip amounts at the point of sale. Who get's that tip? The cashier? The person in back making my food? The person who comes by and busses my table? Or none of the above? Is Panera just pocketing what I'm willing to throw in extra? Maybe it is market research, they figure if I'm willing to tip 20% instead of 15%, then the should charge more for the sandwich?

That's not how it works, but if it were, how in the world would that be dependable? Coupling a rating system to an "optional" tipping system is surely just about the worst idea in the world as far as incentives go.

I wouldn't ignore the routes that connect Chicago to the rest of the Midwest:

- Route, FY2015 Passengers, ~Distance (miles)

- Chicago – St. Louis, 576,705, 295

- Chicago – Milwaukee, 799,271, 92

- Chicago – Pontiac via Detroit 465,627, 280

These numbers are despite the truly awful experience, in many cases, of waiting long periods for freight traffic to pass. These distances are in the sweet-spot for HSR, which could be quite popular on these routes.
Absurd. Did you read it?
> But to blame this on the workers is immoral, heartless, definitely a sign you have something wrong with yourself.

Yes, I am blaming the workers. Making personal attacks against me doesn't change the facts.

The fact is, the reason people make minimum wage is because they haven't developed (or proven to the right person that they have developed) marketable skills.

That's why it's important to study hard in school and to work hard in your job. People get paid what they are worth in the marketplace.

I don't know anything about DG's business practices, but if the workers are not satisfied, there are other places they can get a job.

I do realize that some people face inherent difficulties in life. They weren't born with the same advantages or they were born with disadvantages. Maybe they made some mistakes in life. I'm not saying they shouldn't have a chance. I'm saying that there are things (education, discipline, etc) that they can take advantage of to better their situation.

Maybe they are content in their situation. That's fine too.
They would also have to return expropriated companies (at least in the food sector) and farms to their rightful owners.

None of that would make up for all the lost equipment (to theft, to disuse, to misuse, to lack of maintenance). Nor would any of that encourage new investment (how can you trust that the government won't go back to its old bad ways?). Nor would it bring back all the population that has left for Colombia, Ecuador, and Brazil.

But all of what you said and all of what I listed, together, would be a good start. It would also help a great deal to abandon all the violent rhetoric, allow truly free and fair elections, allow the opposition to win when they do, and so on and so forth.

Argentina did all of what you said (well, they still have some subsidies), and it wasn't quite enough by itself. The primary budget deficit is still very large and the immediate driver of inflation there.

Large welfare state + underdeveloped economy + expropriation == no trust/confidence. Or, how to destroy your country in just a few steps and a just few years.
No, entirely not. What would happen overnight is that the currency would plummet against all other currencies into Deuschemark territory, at which point there is no import/export possible with that currency. This is not a simple problem to get oneself out of, dear random internet commenter, which is why you don't want to get into it in the first place. The spread between the official rate and the black market rate already reflects a shred of the drop that would occur if the currency floats.
It got to that point years ago.
I would very much like to have a small discussion on this if you don’t mind sharing your thoughts on the following:

What would be the ground truth for some notion of smartness level? It could certainly be subjective, sure, but could you please tell me what you think being smart means? Do you think people around you have different scale/notion of smartness than you? Would it be possible that you’re being hard on yourself? If not, how would you rate/think about your coworkers smartness?

I am really interested in knowing your thought process because a part of me certainly identifies with your statement. And I am very much interested in discussing “appearing to be smart” vs “being smart”. Something tells me there’s not much difference between the two or perhaps only the former exists and latter is too abstract to be useful for any comparison.
I just mean their social media presences, not the companies themselves! Aside from the core group of us space enthusiasts who've been around no matter who's doing what, much of the new blood & energy has come from people who started paying attention because of SpaceX - and the latter have very much influenced everyone in the movement in terms of expecting more from our space CEOs on social media (like answers to random questions we bug them with on Twitter even if they're not directly relevant to their companies, e.g. Matt Desch telling us about the movements of SpaceX boosters for IRDM missions).

I'm a huge fan of C# and ASP.net, but this transition hasn't went as smoothly as I hoped.

I tried .NET core a lot pre-1.0 and it seemed really fragile (especially on Mac and Linux, which was my main excitement around it).

As I was a bit nervous about that, I started a new project in 'classic' .NET w/ MVC5. It however seems a lot of projects are migrating rapidly to .NET Core and leaving support for legacy projects recently.

It does seem to be a giant pain to migrate a legacy asp.net app to asp.net core (very manual). Anyone have any tools/advice on this process?
