I've already addressed Popcorn time several times in this discussion.

The fact that you've acknowledged that it's not as polished as a commercial product should be a big hint that perhaps commercial products choose RMTP over BT for a valid reason. Perhaps even for the reasons you initially dismissed as nonsense. Perhaps you might need to read up a little more about how professional video deployment actually works before you assuming you understand video deployment better than all those engineers who do this shit for a living. Just because something conceptually works it doesn't mean it's any good when dealing with the expectations of paying customers who might want SLAs of 99.999% uptime, low latency live services (like less than 10 seconds), near zero buffering times etc.

The Dunning–Kruger effect is overwhelming in this thread but trust me when I say video engineers are not stupid people and if their lives could be made easier by using BT then we would definitely be seeing commercial uses of BT for video deployment.

Yes: different times.

These marriage patterns changed sometime long before 1500, maybe circa 1000AD -- so if the church had a hand in it, it's the medieval church.

The places where this pattern was strongest went on to invent Protestant religion, and have now largely moved on from formal church. While the places the present-day Catholic church is strongest are outside this zone... or weren't christian at all in at the relevant time (like Spain, and Mexico).

> Explicit yield points certainly save you from most of the classic threading errors

You know what also saves you from most classic threading errors? The GIL, and yet people writing multi-threaded code in Python still use locks and thread-safe datastructures, because most errors is not enough.

Explicit yield points when the developer is forced to yield does not bring much more safety than executing normal Python bytecode.

I will vouch for the author of this article. Smart kid!

On a slightly off-topic, I think it's safe to say that trading and farming items in popular games, is responsible for cheaters, unfair practices, and in turn developers churning out more of these.

I hope we can return to games, where I pay for a title for its entertainment value, bar of all loopholes and caveats.

One problem will be the media crying wolf every year, anytime there is a minor disease spreading. Bird flu, swine flu, ebola, mad cow disease, etc. All of which have a tiny death toll, dwarfed by even the common flu. But every time we are told this is the end of the world, everyone should be scared. As a result I think people progressively ignore these warnings.

The first discussion in your link talks about peoples bias for wanting to remove plastic from the ocean remote from the source, rather than at the source.

Surely it's obvious that preventing plastic entering the ocean at the source does nothing to remove the plastic that's already there.

Don't facts need to be contextualized in a larger belief framework to be useful? "Sun rises in the East" is a fact that is compatible with a heliocentric and geocentric view of the world. So that fact on its own is useless in explaining the world. In politics, your ideology will guide your interpretation. If you have a particular view on, say, immigration, you will highlight certain facts, suppress or dismiss inconvenient facts, and in general interpret all facts through your ideological lens.
After being active in the indie game dev scene for many years I see this kind of story again and again. I see many people ask why didn't it work or others say he should have done better marketing. I think they all don't understand the real problem.

You have to look at really successful indie games, such as Terraria, Factorio, Mini Metro, Stardew Valley, Darkest Dungeon, Papers Please.. and there are many more. If you look at these games do you really think there is an alternative reality where they would not sell many copies? I don't.

And if you have a good look at them you should realize that they all are extremely polished and coherent. None of them has realistic AAA graphics but they still look good. None of them is just a "copy" of an existing game. They either bring something totally new or bring something known but with a greater overall quality.

Then you have successful niche games such as Cogmind or the Zachtronics games. They still have the mentioned properties but also target only a subset of players where there are not many games. I think that makes them guaranteed sales.

Now what's wrong with all the stories about failed games? They all are generic. They don't offer something special. And this is what doesn't work in a saturated games market. And I'm not saying the authors didn't work enough. They just don't see what's wrong with their games and continue on their path to demise.

I guess what I'm saying is: to make a successful game you don't need to be the greatest coder or greatest artist. But you need to understand what makes a game great and enjoyable.

Maybe the days (years) will come where I finally will make a (bigger) game of my own and maybe I will totally fail like many have. Maybe I will revoke everything I said here but today this is my opinion. :)
Think of games that players play for more than 1000 hours.

They have either:

A) Multiplayer

B) Procedural Generation

If you don’t want to do A, and you hope to make something people will play for a long time, then you have to do B.

Procedural generation has no value for getting players interested, it only matters for keeping players long term.

But it does matter a lot.

LinkNYC's 5m Users Make 500k Phone Calls Monthly
Not necessarily. There could be things that neither FCC nor California government can legally do. I am not sure whether regulating the Internet by introducing NN is among them (given the whole "interstate commerce" thing and how broadly it is treated, you'd need a good lawyer to figure it out) but it's not impossible on the face of it, and it's not both sides of the same argument - in fact, it seems to be the same argument from the start:

The FCC's recent repeal of federal rules said that states aren't allowed to impose net neutrality rules, and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai called California's net neutrality bill "illegal."

So Pai argued from the start that states can not impose NN, and continues to do so. I guess we'll eventually see if he's correct or not, probably as the case eventually gets to SCOTUS (or the Congress clarifies it by legislation, which probably won't happen).

enums are probably the only TS thing which does not exist in plain JS (at least I can't think of any other one), and it's quite easy to replace. In your example you just replace enum by a hashmap and remove all the types and it's a valid JS file, it's not really that different. It would be quite easy for an automated tool to do that.

I work in Academia. I sleep after lunch every day. I have lunch in 30 minutes and then I sleep 20 minutes. I have an sleeping mat and a pillow in my office and I sleep on the floor. It really boosts my afternoon productivity, specially now that I have a baby and wake up several times during the night. During the weekends I sleep a little longer. I've been doing this for many years and I struggle a little bit when in meetings and conferences, where I can't sleep. But I'm learning to nap anywhere. ;-)

Why should we be reducing the population? I’ve seen this mentioned a few times in this thread and I just don’t get it.

Also, so many things are subsidised by governments that if you were to pick and chose what you approve of by you paying for it and not using it then you’ll not use much.

On the softer side of things, having kids is a good thing, supporting people as much as possible when they have kids with flexible paid leave is a good thing, and I hope more companies and countries continue to improve levels of support for new parents.

Autodesk has laid off about a quarter of its workforce in the past two years. Crytek has had employees regularly complaining about paychecks bouncing; they're clearly inches from bankruptcy.

This is so cool, love the pillow, mat + floor idea to nap anywhere. It might be perceived as a little weird by some colleagues at first, but once they get the utility, I guess they'll get used to it.

I've tried multiple different sleep approaches in order to maximize "awake" time, but defaulted back to exactly 8h/day - my body simply takes 8 uninterrupted hours and wakes me up precisely without any alarm clock. While experimenting, I saw energy/cognitive decline (tested) after a while, correcting when going back to 8h, so multi-phase sleep is definitely not for me.

Yes, a lot of it boils down to the ecosystem split for me.

> 2) Explicit yield points certainly save you from most of the classic threading errors

Can you provide an example of such a threading error? At most I've heard people claim that asyncio removes the need for mutexes[1]. I think that may be true at the local level, but as soon as your function needs to synchronize with other async functions in the system that ceases to be the case. At any rate, that's not enough of a win to justify the split in my opinion.

> having to use special maps and datastructures everywhere.

The GIL already protects you from corrupting builtin datastructures. Neither the GIL nor asyncio protect you from corrupting your data (the need for some form of synchronization), however.

> 4) Supposedly this refers to the `open` function? This can be solved using the `aiofiles` module, but again I suppose this ties into (1).

And most operations on opened files (like `read()`) as well as any OS bindings provided by the `os` module.

Ever since the decline of Evernote, I've been looking for something as convenient, but been pretty much disappointed in the alternatives. For a while Qownnotes was my choice, but it's not without its drawbacks. Currenlty Joplin ( https://joplin.cozic.net/ ) is the one I'm taking for a test drive, and I'm pretty much pleased with what I've seen so far. Among the features that impressed me most in terms of personal priority are:

- Importing from Evernote (.enex files)

- Cross-platform support (Win/Lin/Mac) + Mobile apps (ios / Android)

- Synchronization (Dropbox, Onedrive, Nextcloud, WebDAV, Filesystem)

- Support for encryption

- Webclipper extension (for Firefox and Chrome)

- It's FOSS, with a number of active contributors on GitHub (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin). A good bus factor and no more dependence on the whims of private organizations.

- A command line interface

- Use of Markdown. Drag and drop support for files and media in the GUI.

There are still features of evernote I miss such as inline PDFs and audio recording
That's a different type of mess. Was the specific quota mandated by law or left to the school or district level? It sounds more or less like what was happening with the self imposed quotas in companies until now. Many internal rules were re-written in such ways that sometimes finding the best person for the job was no longer the actual goal, but rather finding the best woman for the job. This was aimed at fixing discrimination with more discrimination at local level.

Now they took the next step and made it into law. They completely removed any illusion of a fairness for the next appointment on any currently male only board. Which isn't to say it was fair until now. Probably far from it. Just that now it's unfair with the blessing of a law.

The point is this is not about liberalism. The target isn't to fix the inequality issues. It's a vote grab. Which is why categories with less voting power and more PR issues are largely ignored many times and by many people.
