A few aspects of weddings have been disrupted:

- Registries: the article itself talks about Zola, for example. Although traditional registry sites (e.g. bloomingdales, bed bath and beyond) seem to still have most of the market in my experience.

- Invitations: You can still go to someone local for this, especially if you need something customized, but more and more people are creating their invitations online.

But there are a bunch of pieces of the wedding that are stubborn to change. Other major expenses include venue, catering, photography, flowers and music/entertainment. But finding these things, which often involves driving out and meeting with someone face-to-face, or at least talking to them over the phone, is part of the process that people love about weddings.

Companies spend $30,000 on events. But most people spend $30,000 (or whatever your wedding costs) are paying for the experience of planning the party. My wife insisted on driving out to sample caterers' food (which for me was the best part of wedding planning) and meeting the potential photographers in person.

If this was strictly a business transaction, then yes, an app could probably make this more convenient. But the process is part of the experience that people seem to like.

EDIT: A lot of people don't see the rationality in having a big, expensive wedding that takes a long time to plan. My brother had close friends and family at a restaurant and it was great. If more people did that, then the wedding industry would be "disrupted". But I'd venture to guess that most people spending large amounts of money on their weddings enjoy the current aspects of the process.
Intuition may not be the right word but there's a massive gap between proofs mathematicians find acceptable and proofs generated by automated proof systems like coq.

Mathematicians need to be convinced that in principle a proposition could be stripped down to axioms and syllogisms. It turns out that it's quite hard to do that stripping-down in practice.

Hard to say one part is more important than the other. A working model that does its job in code is incredibly useful.
Those ideas have a history

“War essential. It is vain rhapsodizing and sentimentality to continue to expect much (even more, to expect a very great deal) from mankind, once it has learned not to wage war."

Friedrich Nietzsche, in his 1878 book that was one of the inspirations for WW1, WW2 and all that. Not one of humanities best times. Though you could have a more positive take on war as in war on poverty and the like rather than the shooting people stuff.

>I am leaving it up to the person wearing the dress. She was looking at used, but I do ultimately want her to be happy with it too. Thank you for the suggestion though!

I'd never suggest otherwise. My wife couldn't stomach the thought of spending thousands of dollars on a dress, so she went for a cheaper alternative.

We were married directly in the restaurant (like I said, we're non-traditional), so it was just the one venue for us. The restaurant was incredibly helpful the whole time - they seemed to really enjoy being able to provide fine dining and change up their menu and venue as well.

Just thought I'd offer up my experience. Best of luck with your wedding, and I hope it's the start of a long and happy marriage.
Wow, that's a really tough one. Turns out my answer became a really long one and touched on a number of things.

The biggest one is probably that developers aren't hearing or understanding feedback. We're in the same forums, reading the same posts. When players have concerns, the developers have mostly raised the same concerns long before the game was shipped. But identifying a problem isn't enough. Sometimes fixing problems are very difficult or very expensive. Sometimes, thorough design and testing has shown that all the obvious improvements are actually worse in non-obvious ways. So developers do read the feedback. We just, for reasons I already touched on, mostly don't comment.

On a similar topic, it seems a lot of players don't realise that we're not an army of drones in suits aiming to make money. Most of us, by quite a margin, are really passionate gamers who've decided we love games so much we want to make them our vocation and spend at least 40 hours a week on them. Every time I see a post about how "the developers" don't understand what "the players" want, I look around the office and see nothing but players, most of whom share the same feelings and concerns.

Another big one, and this is something I realised that I myself was clueless of before joining game development, is how difficult it is to react quickly to feedback, fix bugs and add features. You often see players complaining that they've raised a concern weeks ago, and it still hasn't been addressed. Being allowed to release a game on consoles requires going through certification with the console manufacturer. This is a really big, costly endeavour which takes a lot of time and requires making sure you adhere to a staggering amount of rules.[0] This and other concerns regarding distributors and retailers mean what's on the physical disc needs to be in place months in advance, making it pretty old once the game is released.

Add to that the fact that bringing out a game patch for PS4 or Xbox is very expensive[1] and requires you going through cert again, and you'll see why many developers try to schedule their patches way ahead of time. Obviously, you want to do rigorous internal testing to make sure you don't have to go back and forth with cert more than necessary. Which suddenly means you have a month-long gap between something being submitted for testing and the patch reaching your loyal paying customers. It's definitely painful, watching the angry comments flow in about an issue you solved weeks ago. Now, I'm not complaining about this. The cert rules and patch restrictions are almost always very logical and there to ensure high quality for the players. But they do come at a cost.

A victim of Tom Branson if Hollywood is to be believed.

I've almost stopped watching "movies" entirely but my wife really wanted me to watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" with her. Basically a giant pack of lies to fit the story into the "music biopic" narrative arc. Hollywood has fully embraced pandering to the masses, and their demise to the Netflixes of the world couldn't come sooner.
I like the theory behind this and the motivation.

I'm not the original poster, but also work at another publisher similar in size to EA, and I'd say that the whole idea of complaining about day-1 patches from both gamers and critics makes no sense, especially in the era of "live" games which receive ongoing support all the time. Like, we're releasing a game this month, right? Do you know when we sent our master builds for submission? In December. It honestly takes nearly 4 months for the game to go from a finished build to a disc you can buy at a store near you. And the team working on this game is something like 600+ people. What are they going to do between closing the master build and March? They continue working on the game, of course. And the culmination of this work comes out as the day one patch. In fact, the day one patch was submitted and approved couple weeks ago, and the game isn't even out yet - we're now working on the second patch that's going to come out few weeks after release.

I'd say in general a misunderstanding of how impossibly long things can take is an issue. Even if we wanted to create and publish an emergency patch for one of our games today, it would take at least 3-4 days before it would go live on PS4/X1. It's just how it is. Bug reports can take days to percolate through support, then to the right studio, then to the right team, then to the right person. Yes, it might be an "easy" fix of just changing a value or two in a text file, but between the customer support taking a report and us pushing a patch out it can take a week or two.

And in general, it's quite frustrating that as a dev I sometimes see someone having an issue on a forum for our game and I know that I can't reply with advice, because if someone found out that I work for this company it could be misconstrued(as an example - I know that you can get around a particular error by using a VPN temporarily, but I can't be in a position where I'm advising people to download and use VPN software) - so instead I say nothing, and it bothers me that I could help someone but at the same time I can't.
What's more, as I said before, it's the distro's job to do quality control, especially for something as critically central and important as the DE. Just look at Linux Mint and how their distro is all about their DEs; they don't just grab whatever some group says is "released" and slap it into the distro, they ensure all the parts are working together as intended and that the distro release is a coherent whole.

The distros at the time of KDE4.0 didn't do this. They just threw some stuff together without doing even the most cursory checking to make sure the thing actually worked decently as a desktop/workstation OS for users and put it out there, and then wondered why users were so mad about the unstable behavior.

Food was by far the biggest expense of our wedding. My wife and her family did want to go all out, and it came to about $100 a head for food/drink (I forget if I rolled out the venue price out of that exact number). For a nice meal for a bunch of people in New England that's not even that bad of a price

The venue was the next most expensive coming in at a flat rate of a few thousand

Everything else was pretty inexpensive by comparison although it does add up
Wedding photography is another somewhat similar example. I've shot weddings for friends who just wanted some decent memory pictures. In school, I also shot a couple weddings for friends of friends for a small fee who were economizing. Or you can spend many thousands of dollars. In this case, it's not so much that wedding photography is a particularly high margin occupation but it's another example of going with a higher-end service than many people would consider for anything else in their lives.
My Mum was a single Mum and we couldn't afford games. My first programming books were for programming games. That started my programming career which from the age of 8 is still going 35 years later. It's amazing how far we've come since then.
> there is already polarization

Yes there is already polarization, the global polarization that exists already is known and documented to be in favor of men, on average. There is still a pay gap in favor of men. You’re trying to argue there is reverse discrimination, but without any evidence. There are some affirmative actions for women. Do you consider affirmative actions for women to be discrimination?

If a cultural polarization occurred naturally without any intentional effort, meaning people exhibited and acted on biases without knowing it, and it was hurting a class of people, what would you do to fix it?

> There are already women run companies actively trying to hire only women. This is not constructive on the long run. Just as the X-gender-only conferences.

Those seem like two different things to me. Do you see the same difference I do between a job that pays you and a product you have to pay for? While it depends quite a bit on what conference we’re talking about, I don’t see a general problem with conference products made for women. I don’t believe that is automatically discriminatory or polarizing. If you do, I’d like to hear more about what you think is wrong with it. Tampons are made for women, and I don’t know any men that are mad about it or think is polarizing.

There is a reason that there are laws surrounding job discrimination and no laws surrounding conference discrimination. It’s because it is perfectly fine to sell products to a specific audience.

Jobs are required by law to not discriminate, though I’m sure there are some jobs that require a woman and not a man. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was legal and acceptable to hire a woman to teach Women’s Studies.

Personally, I’ll wait to be concerned about jobs reserved for women until women are the majority of the workforce and management structure at all companies on average. Right now, they’re not.
I mean, that command is linked to in the actual script itself. I figure if you're already reading it, it's probably pretty safe to run. It's also what, a seven line script? Not too many places to hide anything nefarious in there.

Sure, I suppose the install directions should be more like, wget the file, cat it to be sure gitlab didn't serve you a malicious file instead(?), then run it.

Really not sure what this has to do with malware on Windows though.
Perhaps I'm being too literal and etymological, but to me "civilisation" means towns and cities.

Towns and cities lead to economic specialisation, a legal system, civil service, taxation, and so on. Nomads and people living in villages may have a complex culture but it's rather different from city life, even a low-tech city life like in ancient Egypt, for example.

It is going to be a while before the typical functional ecommerce sites we use use everyday adopt a more creative approach. It is just too much of a risk to present a user with an unusual design and a learning curve. When you just want users to part with their cash, the site needs to be as predictable as possible.
Thank you! I appreciate hearing your thoughts on it.
It's interesting to see that we both brought up the same thing about day 1 patches in our responses.
It's certainly the right direction! I applaud them for pushing this.

From the article, it looks like many of the others are reproducible on a code level, but the release system is using older binaries, which haven't been rebuilt yet.

It's too bad it won't be fixed in time for this release, but bodes very well for future releases.
In real psychophysics experiments, you never tell the subjects if they were right or wrong (in fact, double blindness means not even the experimenter knows). So in that case you could try using relative estimates, but it won't increase the expectation of the accuracy.

The competitive gamers that play PvP have a lot of feedback for game developers since bugs, design flaws, etc. can impact their gameplay and chance of winning. At least from the perspective of a gamer that is.

For example they play a battle royale genre game and 20-30 minutes into a match they are one of two teams left and then die blaming some perceived thing that happened like game physics getting in the way, it appears they were shot through a wall, etc. The immature gamer (aka 10-20 years old and maybe beyond) may believe their talents are greater than reality.
No, he meant gamers. That doesn't absolve others from bad behaviour but "gamers", i.e. group-conscious, very online, hardcore players congregating on /v/ and many other such places, are probably _the_ most vitrolitic group on the Internet rn., save for those parts of the alt-right that don't play games.
It's better to tell people 'clone this repo and run this script'? I'm pretty sure people have exactly the same chance of auditing it.

curl | sh is slightly problematic from untrusted servers that might change the script depending on whether or not it's piped to a shell, but from gitlab I just don't see a difference.

The command is only found in the script itself when you look at the source from gitlab. Also the script contains 7 lines in total if you remove the comments.

I would say it would be nice for a "Zillow" type thing for it though? We only found half of these venues through word of mouth or by going to wedding shows. I was not convinced on a few of them they try provided the total upfront cost as well, or when you talked to them you found limitations.
My project stopped building on compilers w/ the new module system. I did file an issue (56247, see also 56317) and was told it won't be fixed. The fix to my dependency was trivial, but it did stop my code from compiling with no change to my Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock, and ultimately it did require me to unpin that crate's version and update it.

My understanding was that by virtue of my project not having the edition 2018 key I would have been isolated from such changes to the language.
Prefetching is another technique. If memory is accessed linearly, the CPU can prefetch ahead of what is currently being accessed, and that will include the TLB lookups.
Every time we had our piano tuner scheduled to come was a special occasion. When he'd come, he'd have this aura about him which made his intense disposition seem fitting for the work he was doing.

My mom felt it important to prepare us for the two day process to be without our piano and to tread lightly as he worked through his vast toolset of tuning forks on each key with his most amazing one, his ear.

To watch him act as one with our piano, positioning his head to absorb its vibrations and set it right for us, made our most prized possession seem like part of an intricate world of students connected and tuned to the sound motions of the Universe.

amd is subject to the same issues regarding preempting execution. it's just not so in the spot light because there's no one who did a POC for it yet. Arguably with their new neuralnetwork powered branch predictor it might be more difficult to fool it, the underlying issue of the architecrutal model still exists, which is that you can learn about micro-architectural state via architectural behaviour which should never be possible within such an abstraction. these timers and behaviours also exist on AMD by design, and thus will also have similar holes.

as stated by other posters though, these attacks are sso resource intensive in the sense it would be cheaper to buy some browser o-day or some other exploit to get similar results that i don't see anyone wanting to practically use such a channel to get to someone. that's like trying to convince someone their wallet belongs to you, despite the fact you can hypothetically buy a gun and tell them it is with much less effort / time invested (and thus costs)
I mostly agree with you, but I have one, albeit a nebulous one, problem. China, as an idea, has been around for ~6000 years. I agree that China, as a distinct political entity, hasn't existed for that time period. The Egyption civilization went through at least 5 significant changes of a political nature, but most would agree that it was still a contiguous civilization.

My guess is that civilization is too nebulous of a term for good discussion, but thats just my 2p.
> Egyptian Civilization lasted so long only because of the Delta productivity and ended when Greek and Roman conquest resulted in Egyptian grains being wholesale shipped northward out of the country

Greek? Egypt was conquered by Persia about 100 years before Alexander.

Alexander conquered it too, but didn't have time to ship anything out because he immediately died.

The dynasty that followed him was Greek, the Ptolemies, but they didn't control any territory other than Egypt.
Sure. But I'd argue that's heavily flavored by cultural expectations in many/most cases.

Put another way: If the norm was to have a casual catered party/BBQ at your (or a friend's/relative's) house for a wedding, how many people would consider planning a $50K reception and dinner?
Well, it is a general-purpose database with a document-relational programming model. It's a good choice when correctness, high availability, and flexible data modeling matter, like the core business objects of a service or app.

Currently it supports its own native DSL similar to LINQ or an ORM, and if you want compatibility with existing query languages from other databases, we will be rolling those out over time.

It's not a good choice for analytics or time series data which is redundant or aggregated, and doesn't need the high availability or performance overhead of transactional isolation.

If you used economies of scale to bring down the cost of a wedding, then weddings would be very similar, and it's doubtful that's what the customers want.
