FWIW, I've found the suicide interpretation quite interesting and eye-opening: a thought of a woman, silently hiding her suffering, perhaps for several years, finally pushers herself over the edge after spending last night with dear friends.

And much more fitting the sad story than the dry, calculating "whose money and responsibilities?" tone of the article.

This statement would only work if one's could be perfect, if their actions would be not a mistake but a calculated misdeed and their apology would not be sincere.

If you are really sincere with your apology, and you are doing the best you can to fix what you did, so just ignore this kind of statement. You are doing your part.
All of these intense, weird, baseless, anti-SC posts suddenly make sense.
The code is in a research repo... with a GPL license

This seems like the sort of thing that LGPL is really well-suited for. Any reason for going with GPL? Not many people are going to want to GPL-infect an entire project just to adopt a new spline solver.

This was an incredible read! This is my first introduction to Dostoyesvky and I’m engrossed.

So from these excerpts, his profound writing reminds me of another great writer I admire the most; Poe.
Poe’s writing has had a profound effect on me and so has this story by Dostoyesvky.

I see the similarity in the sense that both of these writers seem to distill such great truths about life and translate them into poetical and lyrical writing.

The conventional plot is barebones in their stories but their focus lies on the inner turmoil, revolving intensely around a lonesome nihilistic character musing about the existence, human desires and the consequent suffering that results thereafter.

I’m a fan now and will definitely be reading more of Dostoyesvky.

In my opinion this is a misconception that I saw in other people approaching the language as well. The thing is: nobody should use "advanced" features. Using `reflect` should be reserved for exceptional case where it's not possible to solve the problem differently. This has been pointed out in the Go website and the mailing list bizillion times.

That said, the language doesn't have many features. So if you want to show off your skill, it's probably by structuring the code concisely which can be challenging at times. Using reflect is actually the easy way out and most functions of that package can panic easily...
Plus terrorism isn't a numbers game, it's about shocking people. Torture a single victim live on youtube and you will get more coverage than a 20 victims rampage. The 24h news cycle "everything is breaking news", "this incredibly rare thing could happen to you" is incredibly helpful to terrorists.
Agree, GPL effectively means non-commercial.

Most companies won't touch GPL code with a barge-pole.
I don't think it's quite as simple as that:

I am in agreement with the reality aspect of YouTube, I have a guilty pleasure for watching a YouTuber who does stupid things for likes, I won't give him the oxygen of publicity here though.

However, in this desperation for likes everything is totally real, it is almost as if the guy would not be able to imagine faking it and would not be able to conceive of it. There may be click bait titles, the begging for likes and the desire for fame and fortune but it is entirely real, nothing staged. You mention doing things in post production, the idea of faking it in post is also an unimaginable idea to the YouTubers we get strangely fascinated by.

At the same time though, Instagram is fake, every face on it is fake, every scene is a setup, the people on it project a lifestyle they don't live up to. Clearly people wear make-up on YouTube too, but there is something real about that.

We laugh at millennials tuning out the TV in the corner to be obsessed with 'social media' but old media is no longer getting the attention that it once had. It survives on the momentum built up over decades with an audience that is getting older.

There was a time when I would eagerly watch soap operas, as written by vast teams of skilled writers and featuring a cast of very well paid actors. But nowadays I am not watching any of that stuff, the lone guy talking about what he is tinkering with in the garage demands my attention instead. Often this lone guy really is doing it all, the camera work, the editing, the whole shebang, to create compelling content that would have required a huge team in previous times. At other times there is a small group of friends with one of them able to do super slick editing and create content that is definitely 'broadcast quality'.

The ability to like, comment, share and subscribe is also part of it. Why watch something with 'comments disabled'? With regular TV you can shout at the TV but it won't hear you. With Youtube you might get one of those heart things and a comment back from the YouTuber/presenter which is sweet. With broadcast media there is none of this interaction.

I don't see any YouTubers wanting to get a 'proper TV series', it is always the other way, with TV types wanting to do their next project on YouTube and turning their back on the legacy media.

Some things are lost though, not having that vast team with experience is not a bad thing though as long as that reality aspect is there. It is the honesty the viewer likes.
I suggest House of the Dead. His life transformed immensely during the course of that book, to put it simply.
I guess you're using a different definition of gameplay here?

> By that definition, sandbox games are not games

Even as a little kid, when playing in actual sandboxes, I never considered that kind of playing a "game". Playing tag or hide and seek or checkers was always distinct from just running around in the woods or playing in a sandbox. Even filling up balloons with water and looking for targets on our BMX bikes, even though it was trickier than many games, wasn't a game. Making a bet, having a competition or playing a game, that has additional elements to just having fun with whatever.

Not that there's anything "wrong" with "just having fun", or that "just having fun" can't get crazy very complex and tricky! With most games, certainly if they're multiplayer, you can have the sandbox element, too. That is, you can just ignore the rules and turn gameplay features into derpmanship tools. For example, this movie is from clips recorded when a new TF2 map came out, I joined a nearly empty public server, and along with others managed to do everything BUT the objective for 15-20 minutes. I'm the pyro doing the impossible at 3:11 ^^

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQlz7kFoXSc

None of these people knew each other. Eg. at 0:58 a guy shows up who isn't in on it yet, ruins the fun, then switches to soldier to shoot projectiles that don't do damage, for even better ping pong. No voice chat, hardly any text chat; all this basically just happened, and it was more fun than many "real" TF2 matches I had. In a normal match you just think "how can our team score", when the objective is "have fun", the feasible permutations for what do you increase by a lot, it's a whole other level of complexity.

After watching that movie again I totally forgot what I was arguing, sorry. I agree with games having win/loose conditions, and usually a way to measure better/worse performance, roughly, and therefore sandbox games "not being games in that sense" -- but I think there's nothing wrong with that, and that ideally, you'd have the option for both. I never played Star Citizen so I have no clue how the universe is set up, but I could imagine some regions being more active and contested, where money and/or weapons establishes a pecking order, whereas you can always just fly off to some moon in the middle of nowhere and hold races there, or spell out obscene messages with ship wrecks or whatever.
What are you talking about? Lost productivity compared to what, JS? Merge types? You can just use `&` to combine them if need be? Discussing types? Does it matter that much, and I mean refactoring them isn't a big deal if need be. Two different types represent essentially the same data? You've tried extending interfaces or using generics?

Seems like you lack an experienced TS developer in your team and are contributing your lack of experience as a fault of the language itself. The typing has saved my ass maany times and makes the code in our projects actually maintainable for us and for someone outside of our team's bubble. It might take a while longer to code the app, but it'll take less hours in the long run to keep it safe and working.

I found Horizon Zero Dawn somewhat similar. There were obviously edges, but they appeared natural and weren't always where you thought they would be. e.g., you could actually scale fairly rugged and steep cliffs and end up in places other games would never let you get near.
What worries me —very much in-keeping with existing criticisms— is what Facebook wants to do with this tech. Voice is not a core business for them. Yet.

They are demonstrably very good at using technology and their omnipresence against their users (to monetize them without their knowledge).
I'm sorry but these incidents are widely understood to be a combination of moral panic, poor policing, investigators leading children, bad psychology ("recovered memory") with crank psychologists trying to make a name for themselves and a variety of other factors.

They've been well studied, and far from turning up an international network of demonic ritual abusers, baby murderers and cannibals, they've turned up good evidence of a clusterfuck that damaged children by removing them from parents, damaged relationships and even entire towns with widespread false allegations.

With "Satanic Ritual Abuse" there is no "this type of criminal". There is no crime.

I'm not sure why you feel the need to be a true believer on this one.

It would be nice if this were used as the PoW problem for a blockchain. Since the Mersenne Primes are rare, the PoW problem shouldn't be to find new Mersenne Primes directly, but something that could make indirect progress on that. Also the blockchain should solve an actual problem, such as torrent tracking or DNS.

It makes me think that there should be a list of viable uses of blockchain, and another list of interesting problems that could be moulded into PoWs, and they should be paired up into blockchains.

10x was legit in Babylon, circa 1754 BC, with the oldest written law concerning this:

Ex. Law #265: "If a herdsman, to whose care cattle or sheep have been entrusted, be guilty of fraud and make false returns of the natural increase, or sell them for money, then shall he be convicted and pay the owner ten times the loss.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi

Innocent until proven guilty was also in the Code of Hammurabi, not sure about the 'eye for an eye' bit or the treatment of slaves though. Nonetheless the precedent of 10x is there.
They've always been clear that the date may move. I realize this sentence is totally invisible, though. And classy move there, with the comment about language.

Recap of a year of blogging
That’s a hedge in case they missed somebody. If they said “we unbanned all the accounts” but via a search error they’d missed one, and that person commented “no, liars, I’m still banned”, it would be a whole new round of controversy. So instead they say that they got most of them and if they missed you, ping their support team and they’ll fix it.
Hoping the current administration would side with foreigners against one of its own banks is rather optimistic.
They can seize their CEO's jet while fueling in, say, France, or a GS building in China or whatever. Their life will be miserable, they'd have to navigate hundreds of jurisdictions and they are "bounty hunter" types that take these cases after judgments.

But fraud is fraud, Malaysia can sue them in good, old, USA. Who thinks that GS, the paragon of integrity, behaved correctly, raise their hands. Right, zero hands.
"Everyone will only work for their own interest" when they're poor and underdeveloped, and especially when the stakes (becoming a fully-developed country vs. getting stuck in the middle-income trap like so many other places in the world) are so high. There's very little that's surprising about that. But to talk about "balancing the interests of all parties" is a distraction at present. Growing the pie is still the priority in people's minds, splitting it in a properly "balanced" way can happen later.

You are reading hostility which does not exist. I understand as mod you read hostile posts all day, but I will ask you (as I have in the past) to please remove any sense of hostility you read in my posts, because that's not what went into them.
Most likely they'll settle for a lower sum if they want to continue to operate there, otherwise it might be simpler and cheaper to just pull out of Malaysia.
In 1995 there were few games, period. Videogame market was in its infancy compared to what it is today.

I absolutely adore Baldur's Gate. It is the ultimate expression of gaming for basement dwelling nerds. Black Isle/Bioware always had penchant for lore and world building.
>> Not risk-free when you're outside the US.

> Do you have access to the US equity markets?

Sure. You just have the additional exchange-rate risk, to which I am already amply exposed, and quite a bit of regulatory overhead that I can do without.

I am not saying that cash is the 100% optimal strategy here, but so far I haven't seen any obvious/easy alternatives. And again, it's not a 100% cash strategy, cash is still a minority instrument right now, just larger than it would be in other climates.
Likely to be as ethical as the financial system GS gamed. All in all I think it is fair.
I started coding with ActionScript 2 and then switched to ActionScript 3 (ECMAScript with types; basically the same as TypeScript) for years starting at a very early age. Then I did Java and C++ while at uni. Then I used JavaScript for several years (and did some half year stints with TypeScript in between) so I have a more balanced experience with both statically and dynamically typed languages than the vast majority of developers (I have over 15 years of experience in total: Slightly more with dynamically typed languages). I also maintain several open source projects in my own time so I work many hours per week. Also, I'm currently working on a TypeScript project (second time in the past 2 years).

Also, I've spoken to several very senior developers (including some influential individuals) who also have broad experience and who share my point of view.

So that's why I feel confident when I say that TypeScript does not add any actual safety. I don't have skin on either side (well actually my current employer uses TypeScript so saying bad things about TypeScript does not align with my career interests) and I really did give both a really fair, thorough trial with an open mind. As I said, I even switched back and forth between them for extended periods to gain more perspective.

Typescript solves a few small but obvious problems and introduces multiple new problems that are worse but less obvious (it makes the details of the code better, but the overall foundation and the process worse).
> It's impossible to stop these kinds of attacks without completely taking away personal freedoms and instituting some kind of pre-crime surveillance state.

It's likely impossible in that kind of state as well.
Loved Melee and the music especially. I remember each ship having a points rating in Melee, and we'd play lowest vs highest. There were some cheap ships (Spathi, Androsynth, Thraddash, Arilou, Orz, VUX, etc) that could thoroughly torment the big slugs with the right tactics.

Teleporting the Arilou into the planet/moon though was infuriating.

US government shuts down temporarily
Well, but he says that he's measuring acceleration, not velocity. The bullet's in the barrel for just ~2 msec, and there's appreciable acceleration -- not just movement -- for >50 msec. It's true that his custom accelerometer only records data at ~6 msec intervals, but I don't see how that could smear ~2 msec out to >50 msec. Unless maybe there's some design limitations of the sensors that he used.

The PRB covers the role of propellant gases in recoil, and measures effectiveness of muzzle brakes.[0] He talks about 20%-50% reduction in recoil with muzzle brakes. And that implies that gas expansion from the muzzle accounts for at least 50% of recoil.

Even so, some additional measurements might be useful. It'd be interesting to know, at sub-msec sampling rates, the velocity of gas leaving the muzzle. And if there's still appreciable unexplained recoil: 1) the length of the barrel; 2) the displacement of the barrel from the stock; and 3) the diameter of the barrel, measured at maybe 4-5 points from the chamber to the muzzle.

Because steel is, after all, notoriously elastic. And the barrel may be attached to the stock in a way that smears out recoil. Also, the rifle may have other recoil-management features that reduce recoil, and smear it out. It's bolt-action, so there's no blowback, and I don't see a muzzle brake, but ???

Risk vs. Reward. Fraudsters and thieves can easily return the amount stolen. The fact that they rarely get caught works for them. Now make them pay 10x, jail or ban them from doing business and they're likely to think 10x before doing it again.

The secondary option for the Thraddash was surely the most devastating option among the cheaper ships. 10 points in Melee yet could take down as many of the "big four" as needed.
> black body radiation is all it's got

No, reflection and black-body emission are different. The moon primarily produces the former.

Moonlight is not the result of the moon glowing incandescent.

The surface is very cold, its emissions as a black-body radiator are in the far infrared.

Moonlight is white light with a color temperature of several thousand Kelvin. This is reflected sunlight and has nothing to do with black-body radiators.

Take your target and trace a ray in every direction away from every point on its surface. The more of these that hit the energy source, the more energy you're getting. And 100% is obviously the best you can do.
In theory it could be following waypoints (no command frequency) and using ultrasonic "sonar" to avoid things like trees at low level. That's pretty difficult to track, especially if you're on the ground in an area with a lot of trees.
I am not an expert but on your oversimplification on the ‘High energy = higher wavelength’

Whilst this is true, it is also a bit irrelevant. Gamma rays are higher energy than visible light but you don’t need to focus gamma radiation (should that be easily possible) to start a fire, you can do it with visible light; or infrared light (which is lower wavelength again) at a high enough qanta
This comment kinda rubs me the wrong way, especially since the author notes that I also want to preserve full ownership of the code so that I can do commercial licensing of code derived from it. If there are many companies that want a curve like this (which means it presumably took non-trivial time and skills to develop), maybe they should come to a commercial agreement with the author?

What is it with pushing people to unpaid labour to make megacorps happy with some fuzzy notion of potential "wide adoption" as the only reward?

One problem is that a black hat could solve a lot of primes in secret, and then use those for a double spend attack.

Specifically,

a) Spend some coins to buy some other cryptocurrency

b) use all their secret primes creating a bunch of new blocks on a branch where they haven't spent their money. Since this is the longest branch now, all the other clients accept they haven't really spent it.

c) buy the other cryptocurrency again on this new branch.
