I've seen player bases (or at least parts of them) beg for these systems to be introduced. Battlefield being the most recent example I can think of. They built Battlefield 1 which didn't really have any "feeder pellet" mechanisms then at some point they asked what the community wanted in the game and the response came back "We need daily challenges/rewards to keep us playing." It wasn't enough to just play the game, some particularly large subset of the game needed something to be constantly working towards to keep them playing, they needed a short term goal/reward.

So they introduced timed challenges (get so many headshots in one life, get a skin as reward) into BF1 as an update and then expanded that in BFV.
Well I mean, there's no evidence that this story is true.

Thank god! I think we got lucky there...

I agree with influencers making a difference and we see something analogous to buying clicks here. This will distort perception further. Fringe topics will suddenly seem to be important to lot of (fake) people. This will distort perception heavily.
Try code2vec. It's pretty good.
I wonder if anyone from Kite.com is reading this and if they have any comments?
Which is also what I'm hearing from the article. "I've done it, but now I've stopped doing it, and everybody who still does it is bad and cheating". Sounds like "yeah, market manipulation is terrible and evil, and now that I've made my millions from doing it, we should all stop" to me.
You live and work in buildings whose construction needed a lot of energy, for example, and the construction business uses a lot of fossil fuel.

But I agree. Belgium is richer than Burundi, but not because construction in Belgium uses cement mixers driven by petrol engines while those in Burundi use electric power. It's richer because it has structures such as your university (buildings and institutions) that educates people to a level quite different from Burundi. The dirty or clean power used to build is a detail.

Like, in a way, your cycling. Compared to a car, your cycling cuts the relevant emissions drastically with ~zero impact on your actual quality of life.

Belgium didn't turn poor like Burundi when it stopped burning coal, it kept the good parts (like that university) and just used less dirty power sources. It didn't even grow poorer.

>But online ads and the technology that makes them work have played a considerable part in the development of almost every aspect of what we’ve come to enjoy as the free and open internet of today.

Online ads and free and open internet are not synonymous and I really wish that people would stop trying to equate them as such. The pervasive advertising systems that are running today (e.g.: Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, etc.) aren't running to make the internet free and open but to squeeze out more profit margins for their respective shareholders and nothing more.

Were online ads the cause of the move from dial-up to "high-speed" internet? I'd argue it was actually pictures, graphics, movies, etc. and the desire to be able to consume those at a reasonable rate that caused the move from dial-up to "high-speed" internet.

How did advertising play a role in the development of that portion of the free and open internet? (Genuinely asking, in case I'm missing something here.)
When were your particular good ol days, I wonder
Unsigned apps cannot be notarized, and your compiler doesn't sign code (codesign does this unless you have an interesting compiler). In essence, there are two reasons why notarization doesn't have an effect here, the quarantine xattr and the fact that Apple will refuse to notarize an unsigned application; I was merely pointing out the additional, latter reason.
Ripened bananas sure, but bananas that are still at least a bit green instead contain a lot of resistant starch which functions like dietary fiber and works miracles for the bowels.

The sugar content of bananas is highly variable with ripeness.

That's why I prefer free open source games. Not only the gameplay is not tainted by grey/dark patterns, but also if it is an online game you don't depend on one company running the servers.
In what world was either dial-up, or high-speed internet free? You have to pay for a connection.

If you don't want to pay for the content, it needs to be funded in some manner - donations or ads - we haven't found any other business models.
Are you though? It's your job to find the right "influencer" and make sure that they can deliver what you're after. If you're unsure about the realness of their followers, just put some form of tracking into the contract. For every 100 clicks on the link, they get whatever money.

If all you look at are follower counts and then throw your money at them, you're just bad at your job.
Pretty much anyone with a view of the sky can use the satellite providers. But they are terribly limited, expensive, and laggy.
There's a maker group local to me that constructed a drivable version called BigHak! http://hackhitchin.org.uk/bighak/
You understood why video-only appearances in court by the accused are problematic. Extend that reasoning to why video-only contact with people who love and support them is not an adequate replacement for face-to-face meetings.
That depends if the ad is just presenting something or the marketeer engages in further "perception management" (I don't know the jargon).

This stuff, buying clicks, lobbying platforms to ban content you don't want to be associated with your product/service because it could distort its "cleanness".

Advertising is needed but there are a lot of valid reasons people don't like them very much.
I must be missing something. What is the relevant portion of the article you linked? They even praise the ketogenic diet.

In case you wonder, the brain uses around 25% glucose and 75% ketones even in deep ketosis. Glucose in the blood is stable, and spent glucose is replenished through gluconeogenesis on demand.

I would like to know what your point is here. Thanks.
The subnet mask determines the size of the connected network, which is in itself a route in your routing table.

It's the same mechanism used to reach your router. Subnet-local / connected routes are routes in themselves. Routers let you leave your subnet.
I think the blame for the insignificance of macOS as a gaming platform chiefly lies on Apple's shoulders and their staunch refusal in creating adequately powered desktops at reasonable price points. As long as the majority of Macs are laptops with Intel iGPUs porting anything more graphically complex than Dota 2 is pointless. I think there are more people with custom <$900 builds with decent mid-tier AMD or NVIDIA GPUs than people with extremely expensive Macs with Vega or RX580 cards.
You just leaked your customers email addresses by improperly obfuscating them.

See https://web.archive.org/web/20190409072021im_/https://blog.c...
With knowledge of the font used (which is very easy to figure out as its the Stripe dashboard) everyone can reconstruct these email addresses.

You should now notify these customers as well as your supervisory authority.
Yes this. Most people who work outside software development and several within, are convinced that they have access to free internet services only because they are willing to tolerate ads.

Ads ≠ "free" services, and "free" services ≠ ads.

["free" in scare quotes to refer to not paying money per usage or to gain access to usage, but you may be paying in other ways]

Counter examples are public libraries (no ads but "free") and cable television (not "free" yet ads).
FTDI chips have their driver deployed by default on most Windows, Mac and Linux installs. It's nice being able to buy a USB/serial cable and it just work, without needing to deploy any drivers at all. Check it out!

I don't think that GP meant that the travelling is fake, but that the house of cards is bound to fall down or is already falling down, because only so many people can make vlogs about making a living making vlogs. For many of them, the end result might simply be having lost their savings/racked up debt, going back home and then considering themselves a failure. And many others dreaming of this lifestyle, feeling that it should be attainable, but not being able to get there themselves.
What about reliability, backup?
I grew up in Austria, and over here they usually have to print it on the front page and not too small. Same goes for web stuff.
The parent made a pretty blanket statement that marketing is wrong.

there are few things on this planet that are less wasteful and more useful/important for our civilization than bitcoin. it's the first time in history we've been able to express and implement monetary value and security thereof in terms of pure energy without any middlemen.
That is the point of the entire article.

CR’s scientists also note that the FSIS cutoffs seem much higher than those used by other scientists, even in other government agencies. And in documents provided to CR, the FSIS acknowledged that even for drugs that should not be in meat, the agency sets its cutoffs above what the test can measure.

and

Some experts, however, worry that by relying on higher cutoffs, the FSIS may overlook possible health threats. Some research, including a 2015 review in the Journal of Veterinary Science & Toxicology, suggests that long-term exposure to low levels of drug residue in meat could increase the risk of cancer, fetal harm, antibiotic resistance, and more.

The article is more disturbing than what I quoted.

Also, this is not about antibiotics, it's about substances that are potentially fatal to some, and other substances that are carcinogenic. It's not about "why did it get there in the first places" it's that it shouldn't be there because it's harmful to health.
The SALT deduction is not gone, it is capped at $10,000.
So if we wanted to disprove that, we need to find this one guy that is in the same social groups but believes something fundamentally different?

I think this is overgeneralized and the effect that people agree on a set of believes/values/rules isn't a good indicator of the presence of free will. There might be other mechanisms involved.

I was in Zermatt 2 weekends ago walking around the town when I suddenly heard behind me "Hello and welcome to my channel".

Turn around, see a posse of people around a guy pointing a serious camera at his face. I immediately felt bad for him, it felt so unnatural and the realization that this "vacation" was a job for him did not make me envious at all.

My wife and I instead found a bar inhabited by the local service workers and had a great time hearing their stories.
To me, it’s about the quantity. If I drink a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, it’s like eating 3 oranges at once (reduced by some of the good stuff which is in the fruit but removed for the juice). While this won’t kill or harm anyone, it’s obviously not what one usually would do or what would be necessary from a health perspective, and there is little point in doing it other than indulgence. Which is fine if one wants to indulge.
Unfortunately, I don't really have a satisfying answer for you.

I've picked up most of what I know by haphazzardly putting together information in man files, Intel manuals, and probably bits acquired over time.

That said, here's what comes to mind; first the man pages:

- ld.so(8), ldconfig(8): details about interacting with the loader

- syscall(2): gives some ABI details

- elf(5): pretty much the ELF specification

Links to books and documentation I've found helpful:

- Linkers and Loaders, by John R. Levine: https://linker.iecc.com/,

- The glibc wiki: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/DynamicLoader

- The Intel x86 manuals: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sdm

- The OS Dev Wiki, in general, is a good resource on low-level details: https://wiki.osdev.org/Dynamic_Linker, and

- x86 Opcode and Instruction reference: http://www.ref.x86asm.net/

The last reference above isn't directly about linking, but to make sense of things like symbol relocations, you need some familiarity with instruction encoding.

Finally, Brain Raiter has a neat series of blog on his attempt at writing the smallest ELF files possible. This is what inspired me to write my own ELFs in the first place. The focus is on ELF, but there is by necessity a discussion about how linking and loading works in that context:

Online ads are a very invasive business model that only penalizes the end-user, and rarely benefits them.

Especially when ads are often nasty vectors for malware.
I see your point. The article doesn’t explain everything, inside the app there’s a “helper menu” that you can summon by tapping the screen and there you can see the actual exact temperature, precipitation, and wind intensity values (as numbers). They are sliders you can play around with, and are crucial in “training your eye” as to what the “brownish mass” actually maps to.
Wouldn't a managed runtime mean it isn't suited for systems programming? The benefit of something like Rust is it provides a lot of the benefits of a managed language while producing native code and "zero-cost abstractions". A runtime adds a lot of overhead etc.

Oh sure, ok, money. I didn't really think of that; it's all well out of my context. It's like sports. It matters like sports matter; for most people just a bit of fun, and for people really good at it, some money. It matters on an individual level for people who like it or make a living at it.
mining bitcoin with renewables is still a waste. You are now wasting renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy. Both which despite the wording are limited.
Yeah, but if you read carefully, section 4.7 explicitly says that you must use WebKit and JSC to run third party software. Therefore, you can use your own engine to render your app (see games or Google's Flutter), but you cannot use it to render third-party content (thus making impossible to create a browser)
I think there is a patriotism component in iPhone US prevalence.
He never said they were synonymous. He also mentions ads - and the technology that makes them work - have played a part. Perhaps you should read the sentence you quoted again.

Advertising pays for most content on the internet, that's the "free" part as most consumers experience it. The rest is about the technical advances that have been made in building out modern adtech companies and infrastructure, and what those companies have then gone on to contribute afterwards.
Sure, I'm not claiming to be an authority on ethics here. It's just my experience that people aren't unsure of what's ethical and what's not, they just ignore their knowledge about ethics because it gets them what they want. That cannot be solved by making them more aware of ethics - they already are aware. Telling a pyromaniac about the dangers of accidentally setting a building on fire won't make him not start fires.

Unlikely Life as we know it is at risk. The planet has been through many extinctions.
Indeed. But it does tend to lend more credence to the point of the person you responded to, which is "nobody is ever going to make Linux work on a computer".

You're certainly correct that that's due to a combination of nobody caring enough to pay for that to happen (and the few people who could in fact do something about it simply configuring their own personal machine to work correctly.)
Yes that would bypass it. It's metadata set in the filesystem not a part of the file itself.

Correct, just as California isn't the only place you could mine gold. But you were making a correlation between Bitmain and the goldrush tool vendors. The goldrush happened for a larger part in California and there is pretty much zero dispute who bitmain/china is in that analogy. Why are you backpedaling?
This is definitely worthy of a trail, the number of asses we founders have to kiss to get anywhere with our startup could use an increase anyway.

He didn't say that in principle the only way to make money on the internet was through ads. He's saying that in practice most (not all) of the services people actually use on the internet for free (at no direct cost to themselves) are in fact paid for by advertising.

As an observation, I think that's hard to argue with.
Despite my frustrations with the way the sector is treated by our government, the article raises a point I hadn't really considered. Big Tech is considered essentially the only tech in Australia, so local stuff doesn't even rate consideration. So why would the government even care when it's mostly overseas companies anyway?
Just to put my cautionary experience in on that, I woke up after some oral surgery about ten years ago to find out that my estimate was worthless and the actual cost was twice what was estimated. I was fortunate enough to have recently gotten a good paying job and could cover it, but it was certainly a shock.
Three angle of attack sensors should have never been something that could be overridden by cost savings measures. The engineers wanted three sensors and the management said no without ensuring all planes sold had sufficient mitigating controls. We need justice.
When people realize that Bitcoin mining is a mechanism to prevent fraud, the energy consumption suddenly makes a lot more sense. How much waste in the world is the result of fraud and lack of trust? Quite a lot of it.

That said, reducing the energy consumption of Bitcoin should be an absolute priority. Lightning Network and other such technologies help.
