In Dota you have perfect information of the state of all allied units, so I think it's debatable whether sharing input (observation) data between the bots really counts as "communication".

Though that same fact also means communication shouldn't really be necessary; the bots are all exact copies of each other and share a copy of the game state, so they should all have similar ideas of what actions are optimal at any given point in the game.

I wouldnt recommend Arch to an enduser, that was me trying to install it and failing.

Can ubuntu nowadays install nvidia drivers or does that still not work? For an enduser "installing graphic drivers" is not particularely easy ("what is a driver, why do I need it", etc), yet something pretty basic ("why does this [linux compiled, opengl] game run at 1 fps?")

That's undecidable because it is only an implication in one direction.

Perhaps. But then again, I'm using my iPad to draw with Procreate, and it's the best experience I've had (both software and hardware). I'd argue in this case Apple is quite innovative.

That's kind of the awesome thing here, this machine isn't even capable of 1MIPs, so it has to pump audio out of the COVOX and read, decode and display the video.

From the pouet page from one of the authors:
"1. This computer has no DMA. We have to read all data "manually" from HDD registers, word by word. As well as switch heads, cylinders and sectors on fly.

2. This computer is very slow, it spends up to 72 CPU cycles to move a number from one memory cell to another. And it runs on 4 MHz only."

The last time I read about these regulations, it sounded like they would explicitly forbid this sort of arrangement between publishers and aggregators (i.e., news sites aren't allowed to agree to those terms). I don't have time to check right now, but that may be the case.
> SQLite involves extensive amounts of IO, it's a flat-file database most of the time, afterall. That is inherently unsafe, and can't be proven to terminate.

Under reasonable assumptions about I/O (POSIX APIs and stuff), you can certainly prove termination of such operations.

> SQLite also has an internal VM, for which it generates code (the source of the bug in this article). The VM is Turing-Complete, hence you can't always prove that it will terminate.

You don't have to always prove any VM program will terminate. You just have to show termination-preserving refinement of the SQLite code generator (as I alluded to in my other post). You don't even need types for this.

This can have a chilling affect on content creation, and thus the dissemination of ideas. YouTube will have to create a filter that covers their liability. They might be able to automate, but it depends on the jurisdiction. For example, the US has fair use laws. A person may copy a segment of a copyrighted work to comment on it. There are territories in the EU where they can't. How does YouTube filter this?

If the new product was produced in the US and references material from the EU, should YouTube allow the content to go public? According this and GDPR, the EU has the ability to cross territorial boundaries. So YouTube now has to ban such a work in the US even though our legal system allows it.

Essentially, YouTube will have to create a new process where by all content must go past the censors, who are probably people and not machines. Otherwise YouTube will quickly die due to death by a thousand fines. So much for a free and open exchange of ideas.
The news feed feels like a stream of PR releases, people I've never met keep asking to add me presumably to help them find jobs, and the mobile website experience is inhibited by multiple disruptive banners / pop-overs to use the app.

That said, I get people reaching out to me once or twice a week with opportunities for a new job. Most of these fit my qualifications, and it's how I landed my current gig. I don't need to look for jobs anymore, they come to me.

Libre can't even reliably update Word documents, which is literally the only thing I ever asked if it. I don't think MS is threatened by it, and I have no idea why you're going off on a free market tangent.
I feel like one of the big issues here is that we're seeing more users visiting websites on their mobile and that means website owners want to monetize from mobile users. Browser-based mining takes a significant toll on mobile battery and excessively increases the temperature of your mobile device, which can lead to other concerns. Mining is also much slower on most mobile devices.

Coinhive themselves suggest against implementing mining for mobile users, but it appears that some people are not so concerned for their users' mobile devices.
Writing fake reviews is fraud.
I don’t do paleo or low carb or any fancy diet besides eating plenty of protein and calories.

The key for me is regular, heavy strength training. I exercise 3-6 days a week, all compound lifts, at high weight/moderate (3-7) reps.

More than just managing my physique, I find it immensely helpful for my mental health and general well-being.

I’m not the biggest or most shredded guy in the gym, but the focus on strength keeps me from obsessing with aesthetics, while everyone who knows me has still noticed the changes to my physique.

My point in all this is that exercise and sufficient calories is more important than following a specific diet, and that it’s been a solution in multiple dimensions of my life. I heartily recommend it to all my friends.
Honestly, 99% of the requests I get are recruiters, so I don't see why I would deny those requests. Only ones I turn down are these offering me jobs in another city - not interested in moving. Best case I get offered something good, worst case, what they have to offer at the moment doesn't interest me and I still have a bunch of recruiters I can ping back when I'm job searching.
The fallacy in this article is as follows:

(quote) "A cross-section of 40 high-level recreational athletes (“masters athletes”) who were aged 40 to 81 years and trained 4 to 5 times per week underwent tests of health/activity, body composition, quadriceps peak torque (PT), and magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral quadriceps."

The 81 yr old that trains 4-5x (!) a week is a lot more special than the 40 yr old (that's my hypothesis at least). Thus any regression is spurious, since we are sampling from different quantiles! So you don't know anything about the correlation with age.

I'm not disputing that training 4-5x a week keeps muscles strong and the body lean, but it's hardly prescriptive. It's like winning the lottery will make you richer when you retire.

I've tried to reach the authors about this when the article came out, but alas. A letter to the editor in a to me unknown journal seemed not the best use of my time. I've even got code demonstrating the fallacy with quantile regression ;)
Love the talking style of the speaker as well as the terrifying content!

Both are missing the point of how this kind of "law" works.

The wording is less relevant than the application of it. You can argue that something is outside of scope, according to the wording, and be correct while at the same time I can argue that the same is covered on how is expected to be applied.

Given my understanding of the copyright lobbying-state officials work in the EU, Google News will be covered. Why? Because news organizations having being crying for long and have strong political connections.
Sounds similar to my recent experience with Windows 10 - some of those things were fixed by manually installing vendor drivers, but one of them didn't work and figuring out why was a big challenge. On the same machine, GNU/Linux worked pretty much out of the box, you just had to configure the hidpi screen and install a daemon for automatic screen rotation (which was also something I couldn't get to work on Windows after a fresh installation).
That's 4chan. The other big site is 8chan, where users can create their own boards and there are less rules, which makes it much harder to moderate. Then you also have all of the smaller chans which tend to get spammed by bots posting illegal stuff like child porn.

If they really are "spamming random strangers", then sure. And that seems to be most of the contact I get via LinkedIn.

But I did have one cold contact from a pretty legit recruiter that ended up turning into a pretty legit job. That may have been a fluke, but it might also be something that happens more often than I realize. Mostly I barely even read the recruiter messages; this one just happened to catch me on a rare day when I'm open to switching jobs.
Rather than futz around with piecemeal regulation, we need to either make legal changes to return to pre-1971 views on anti-trust or socialize the whole process.
Quick reminder of a common misconception: contrary to what you may believe, MEPs do not propose laws. The EU Commission (that you don't vote for) propose laws.

Combining those two with Vitamin B3 (Niacin) supposedly does wonders for circulation or something along those lines. I can only attest that the niacin flush makes me want to rub and massage my body everywhere because it feels so nice and warm.

Yelp charging for positive reviews is very well known.
Disclaimer: I work at TripAdvisor.

But it's also far riskier, at leats this time they were assaulted by a law in the EU parliament. In China, the party could just decide they don't like you and get rid of your business.
OP here - to me, it is not.

For most services I picked SQLite, so the whole backup is one file / directory. Software can easily be updated or test instances started since all is driven by docker. For the few services that need a DB there is a central one serving all hosts.
Backups regularly (on a nightly basis where sufficient) go to the NAS. The VM docker is running on gets regular snapshots.
Some initial setup and that's it. The whole setup is as movable and reproducible as I could justify making it over a weekend.

Securing theres is an interesting point. I take the risk of a local attacker. Other than that all I got to keep secure is the VPN, which I would have to do anyway.

I am not trying to make it sound like this is something you spend 10 minutes on and call it a day. I am doing this (running prod services) to various degrees for nearly two decades. If you are just getting into all of this, sure, it will take more time and dedication.

I see your point, but I do not necessarily agree with it. I would argue that even with "nothing controversial or interesting" it still is a loss of control. You do not control your data. You do not control if the service will stay available to you and / or your friends.

Lootboxes and the general virtual in-game currencies are what pushed me away from NBA2K. I really enjoy the game, but I don't want to be constantly told to pay more and more for the game that I've just paid $70 for.

From a technical side, 90s Microsoft was great. From a business/trust side, not so much.
Think about it this way: there are plenty of products and services that you can't advertise anywhere else but on google search, so Google has a monopoly on that. This monopoly exists because of Google's abusive practices to prevent competition from entering the market it wants to own.

But again, the problem is that it takes until mid-career to really assess lifetime earning potential, and that's an extremely late indicator. If the winds change, we have to wait 10 years to find out.

We need a more fine-grained model of how those high earnings are happening and a way of tracking progress/bottlenecks along those tracks. E.g., I suspect the law job/salary crunch should be far more worrying than near-term earning potential of humanities majors.

It's also worth pointing out that salary isn't everything and our society would be utterly screwed if everyone optimized for lifetime earnings. Fortunately, plenty of people are optimizing a multi-objective function that includes QoL and job satisfaction; see e.g. teaching in particular. I'd have a hard time telling a teacher that they made a bad career choice by not going into tech or becoming a plumber, and I'd have an equally hard time arguing that teachers shouldn't be college educated.

It seems to me that the article is written from the perspective of someone working for a global, consumer-focused business (or aspirations to become one), without much acknowledgement that other organizations have different needs.

For many businesses, it's okay not to sell to everyone. You can sell an Android or iPhone-only app, even though that leaves many people out. You can sell games that only work on some platforms. Sometimes it's okay to sell to businesses assuming they're office workers with desktop browsers and fast connections. You might not have to support multiple languages or international sales. And so on. These things are neither necessary nor sufficient for some forms of success.

Of course there are other organizations that do need to do these things.
In terms of setting prices, that's what Medicare is largely. The government sets the prices. That's why in the US there has been a large push for "Medicare for all" (with Medicare Advantage plans covering above the basic coverage).

I don't think there are any native Linux games from Blizzard.

I mentioned Linux in the "Mac/Linux" because Linux too suffers from the sometimes more than a year late releases of these games.
I played with this a little more. And, it likely is more generative than my first impression. Especially the Spiral example that seems to transform the composition almost autonomously. Not sure how serious you are about it, but I think it's definitely some of the better programatic art I have seen, speaking from a fine art/academic perspective here. It's very reductive and simple, and deals with some very basic relationships in visually powerful ways. Best of luck. Good share!

I've been investigating recommended protein intake recently and counting calories to lose some weight, and it's amazing how little protein most people get compared to what is now recommended.

Here's examine.com on the recommended amounts: https://examine.com/nutrition/how-much-protein-do-you-need/. I'm of fairly healthy weight, active and have been losing some weight, so I should be getting 2.2-3.3 g/kg according to that. I have two protein shakes a day and build every meal around as much protein as possible while still having it resemble normal food, and I'm achieving an average of about 2.2g/kg, i.e. just at the lower end of where I should be. Particularly when trying to lose weight, getting the amount of protein required in the calories allowed is really tough. It's easier when maintaining weight or trying to gain weight since the protein requirements are similar but you have more calories to play with.

I'm 46, so soon I'll be in the 50+ group which the examine.com article says is when you start needing more protein in a single dose. For me that's about 36g per meal - about 6 eggs, for example.

Counting calories is a bit of a pain to get started with, but isn't too bad once you're going since most people tend to repeat meals frequently. But it's been really illuminating - I thought I ate well previously, but I was a long way from where I needed to be. It's pretty geeky but has been really interesting. I've realised that it's essentially impossible to eat the way I should do eating food I don't prepare myself - nothing has anywhere near enough protein. Data driven health FTW.

I think it's important to qualify this, at least a little bit. Life-long endurance athletes will still maintain muscle as they age, but you can't expect to take up casual cycling as an overweight, sedentary 45+ year old and have that sort of physiological change. Strength/resistance training is ideal if you are trying to push back against the effects of a sedentary lifestyle.

All that said--most serious endurance athletes are realizing that they need to hit the proverbial weight room, at least at certain times during the year.
OP here - I actually looked into NextCloud but for most file sharing went for Resilio, so this would be the only use case for NextCloud which seems a bit thin. The Qnap NAS actually provides functionality like this, but I didn't have a chance to take a closer look at it. And I assume I still have to manually open the app once in a while for a sync, which is one step below where I'd actually want to get to.

>> It is the remit of the British people to hold our government to account, not an even higher, more abstracted government that is even less accountable to the people.

Why does it stop exactly there in the multiple layers of goverment we have? Because you say so? Why is the remit of a citizen of say, Ipswich, to hold the Ipswich City council to account, the Suffolk County Council to account, the British government to account, all elected with ever larger constituencies, each more abstract and less accountable than the last, but not the EU government?
