I’m not as knowledgeable about technical specifications as you are, but in my experience when I buy and use X Mb symmetric fiber connection, I actually get it all day every day, and I get it with sub 10ms or 5ms pings, and I have no problem streaming high def movies, multiple simultaneous FaceTime video calls, and downloads.

When I use Comcast (and I’m sure all other coax internet providers are the same, at least for residential users), what’s advertised is some nonsense like 200Mbit, but the upload is never mentioned because it sucks, and you only end up downloading things at a few Mbit anyway. Ping times are frequently in the hundred milliseconds, and multiple simultaneous streams/Facetime video/video games will slow everyone down.

In my mind, the 200Mbit Comcast is advertising is bullshit, at least since I know what a real 200Mbit up and down fiber connection feels like.
Seen on here the other day (can't remember the poster to credit them): "Douche Mark". A play on Deutsche Mark, for those who are either not European or not old enough to remember that currency, as seemed to be the case with some respondents to the original post.
Probably trying to trigger a vanity reaction. I'll doubt Satoshi will fall in the trap, but I could be wrong of course.
It's sad to realize that the world is worse than we previously thought, but it's not obviously worse overall. Not having social media, or anything similar, and thus not having to moderate awful content, wouldn't (necessarily) cause all of the terrible behavior depicted in that content to not happen.

People can be awful. So can other organisms (independent of whether they're evil or just immoral). Not facing that fact, at all, isn't obviously best.
Actually, I did, obviously. I feel I have a much better picture of contracted centers like the one described in the article than a sensationalizing story from The Verge could inform me of though.
Oh, you're right! I missed the dollar sign! That makes it even worse! Unless V8 converts the regex to that expression (which it could maybe do, but I doubt), there's no way the regex version could be anything like as fast. Your version has the added benefit of also being far more readable and totally without any kind of memory allocation.

Extraordinary package, this.
BioWare is a good case study since a few articles and books have been written about their history (one of the co-founders also has a few videos on YouTube about how they managed the business).

If you read enough of of them you can see BioWare has had three phases in their life:

1. Shattered Steel to Mass Effect 2, where they were largely independent and taking on feast-or-famine work (more of the former given the quality of their work at the time)

2. Mass Effect 3 to The Old Republic, which ringed-in the EA era and cracks in the quality of their work start to show. The end of this era is also when the co-founders and some key contributors to their past games left.

3. Dragon Age 3 to Anthem, which ringed-in stronger ties with EA—specifically having to work with Frostbite—and where we see that a lot of the problems we saw in the last era were probably chronic rather than acute. Lots of key contributor churn.
Yes, here are a few articles from Tamino's blog. Note the first one is #1 in a 7-part series

The last one (and related posts) is worth a look even though it isn't what you asked for because it discusses how an apparently small increase in sea level can lead to a surprising increase in flood frequency.
Expertise isn't one of those words that metas all that well. Expert tends to sound a lot more, well, expert, than meta-expert. If someone tried to reassure me by saying that they were a meta-expert, I'd probably try and shoo them out of the building with a broom before they damaged anything.
What are you doing that requires this so frequently?
I doubt that the gravitational collapse of a rock buttress, even a large one, would be enough to trigger a major eruption of Rainier. The energy of an eruption is shockingly large and almost anything else you can imagine pales before it.

The thickness and weight of the entire mountain is not a significant check on an eruption; therefore, it doesn't seem likely that removing a portion of the mountain (via collapse) would do more than vent some steam and noxious gases. Eruptions depend on what happens deeper in the crust, as I understand it.
The problem is actual use and context sensitivity. Since if they let historic signifiant images get flat banned they also look like big bad idiots trying to memory hole history for blocking say death camp images while still having to ban asshats who post it and say "Not enough."

Neither the text nor the image themselves would be ban worthy but in combination it is boot-worthy. Extrapolating has Scunthorpe problem issues.
A bit off-topic but, I have a TRS-80 Model 4P that does not turn on. On the inside everything seems fine (but I'm no expert).

Does anyone know where could I have one of these repaired? I'd love to boot it up again as it was the first computer I ever owned.
I can't tell if you were trying to say this or not, but the default unix utils on macOS and FreeBSD generally share the same (non-GNU) switches/options as macOS's were derived from the BSDs.
This is basically what neighborhoods do in the US except the houses aren’t attached to each other. My backyard backs up to like 6 other houses and kids and constantly playing in my creek. Mothers sit on my street and watch everyone. Kids riding bikes in my street/driveway etc.

I don’t really get how any of that is absent. Twice as many people live in the Suburbs va Urban cities in the US. My city doesn’t have any water or natural boundaries preventing outward expansion. The only thing we are lacking is the wonderful German rail system.

I’m raising a family now and I much prefer the suburbs and working in a couple tech centers outside the urban center.
Don't we still enjoy the results of those "bad outcomes", though? Huge cities built, railways across the country, massive industries and technology advancements from the period?
I'm not sure I quite understand, but it's certainly possible the equations that govern economics are sensitive to initial conditions. In that case we will never know enough to specify the initial consitions entirely.

But we also don't need to specify initial conditions exactly to do science.

I'm less convinced that the equations themselves are unknowable.
Haha "twine". [0] Seems like a real mainstream tool there. Of course I know from previous python debacles that while npm just uploads the directory structure that already works in development, with python one has several obscure and changeable package preparation steps to perform first.

You're using some colorful language ITT. "unquestionably light years ahead", "steaming pile of shit", etc. This sort of idiom is good for convincing children. Whom are you trying to convince?

CMOV replaces branches. So no branch, no speculation. Typically, though, only branches that the compiler identifies as not reliably predictable would be replaced. Because with a well predicted branch you do not waste resources. CMOV executes both paths, wasting the work of one path, but saving the mispredict penalty. Which for “flakey” branches can be a overall win.

I can think of one important technical reason: you can do a magic per-file limit without having global knowledge about network conditions. Imagine you're an edge router or switch. It's easy to do rate limiting--you just use a token bucket to drop packets above the rate the user pays for. It's also easy to just push packets into the core network as fast as you can, and let congestion control deeper in the network even things out.

Neither of those gets you the behavior you want, which is that even when the relevant route is at capacity, a user who starts a new connection will temporarily get a disproportionate share of the capacity compared to users who are doing downloading or streaming. A per-connection boost with a set limit approximates that behavior. Send packets as fast as you can for the first 20MB, then rate limit to the purchased bandwidth.

By contrast, how do you implement your proposal? You could dynamically allow each connection to pump packets as fast as it can unless the network was congested, in which case you transition to allowing each user a burst. But you don't really know the network is congested, especially at the edge, and particularly at layer 2, where this rate-limiting tends to happen.

Wolves are our prey. And we do cause their populations to decline quickly, when we're not prevented from doing so by laws.
I don't really believe that what's popular in music is simply a reflection of what people want. It's more like what someone's marginally accurate model of the public wants. Same with movies. Studios experiment and when they find something that is commercially successful, they make more of it. A lot of good stuff doesn't get made or promoted because they think it wouldn't have the broad appeal to be commercially successful. A lot of what's popular just got that way through promotion, not because of its overwhelming merit.

Spaces on Leopard (pre-Mission Control) fit my brain like a glove. I'd love to get them back. I have 9 "spaces" in a horizontal row in Mission Control, but in the original Spaces they were in a 2D grid. The 2D gave me a sense of spacial reasoning about where things were.
"The graphical software package used by [Note Printing Australia] has no copy-paste mechanism and no spelling or grammar check. The text was manually typed in and misspelt at this point," according to a report into the error from the printing agency, dated January 11 this year."
The best part about that would be the endless arguments about which license was appropriate for the thousand different licenses aggregated together.
It potentially could be solved at the governmental level, but it could also be addressed at the individual level. Each probably has it's own tradeoffs. For example, governments tend to have sweeping solutions that ignore ground-truth information (e.g., the disparity of cost-of-living with a federally mandated minimum wage). On the other hand, individuals may not have the bandwidth to absorb all the information (e.g., I have no idea about any immoral conditions that lead to much of the consumer items I buy). I assume there's a balance between the two. My personality tends to advocate personal responsibility over looking for someone else to solve the problems, when possible.

“I think Facebook needs to shut down."

As I've spent the last few years pissing away absurd amounts of time on the platform, gotten in countless fruitless arguments, and seen the truly vile and toxic elements of my communities exposed and worn like a badge, this is an idea I've been thinking an awful lot about. After reading this article, I've never been more certain of that statement.

From the descriptions of the work in this article it sounds like Facebook is actively choosing to have the same moderator re-moderate the same content over and over. At that point it almost seems like intentional malice from Facebook rather than a "developer oversight". Surely the first time a video has been flagged it should be trivial to identify further uploads of that video?

The only reasonable explanation I can imagine is that Facebook is doing everything they can to avoid having to implement a "Content ID" system like YouTube. Now why exactly they don't want to do that can only be speculated.

Every good story needs good villains. And the story of the 21st century is just getting started. We are in that phase of the story where the villains are pupating, given resources, and time to develop their own hyper efficient Amtssprache and narratives of self importance. Sooner or later destiny cannot be escaped and it takes everyone to a point of no return. And then the great war begins and the heroes arrive. The entire cycle would breakdown without good villains.

Interesting, this legislation actually was invented by the Nazis:

"On October 17, 1936, the National Socialists imposed a rent freeze and further rent authorities were established. After the end of National Socialist rule, this regulation initially continued to apply in both parts of Germany, which is why home ownership was often considered "unprofitable" as early as the 1950s, as the costs for maintenance, repairs and administration continued to rise every year.

Storing local time is fine if you and your server never ever leave your timezone. You can even get away with it for a long time. If your logic does ever require timezone conversions down the line though, it will most likely surface some nasty problems. And when I say nasty, I mean it in the will-leave-a-battle-scar-that-your-future-graybeard-self-will-warn-younguns-about sense.

The thing with the UTC advice and those who don't listen to it is that people often don't realize that both DST policy changes and factors that increase the number of applicable timezones in a business are rare to begin with. They often think that that storing local time is safe because they never had to truly deal with the complexities of representing physical time.

But DST policy changes are much rarer than factors that fuck up local time based implementations, and issues can be fixed without huge schema changes and downtimes. Plus it's less likely you will actually need to fix them since higher-ups won't be able to grasp the issue, whereas a local time bug fix will often come as a demand from some higher-up suit who flew out of state.
In their frontend, yes. The Flow JS typechecker, and (kind of) Reason.

Backend and infrastructure sees more Rust though. Eg the Mercurial server implementation.

With PC the hardware is more expensive but your investment can last longer and adapt with newer GPUs.

Also you are not locked into generations and such. I own a PS4 and I can't play my PS3 games for example unless I buy the "remastered" versions like Wipeout Omega Collection. Don't know if it's the same in the Xbox world. I know Sony has claimed that the PS5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games at least. With a PC this is a non issue. I can still play Half Life 2 on any PC and it is a 15 year old game from the PS2 era.

The other issue is game prices. With PC you get huge discounts. It's common these days to find 50% discounts on a 3 year old AAA game during Steam sales, sometimes even 75%. The Sony Store never gets great discounts, except on very old or not so great games.

IMO the only clear advantage of console gaming is that it's "plug and play".

I can't praise VCV Rack enough. It has helped an amateur synth enthusiast like myself learn how modular synthesis works without having to invest hundreds of dollars into it. You can make such amazing sounds with this free open-source project, and the workflow feels incredibly natural. I love the community support behind it, as there are tons of developers creating new and exciting modules. Since I'm a developer myself, I'm starting to dig into how I can also contribute to this amazing community.

If you haven't had the chance to check out VCV Rack, I highly recommend it.
The real solution is that they present the reality of the job and let the candidate make the decision to proceed or not.

That way the company presented the job as is. And if the candidate takes the job, they own some of the responsibility for the consequences.

I like this. I feel like I would want to participate in the community, but not necessarily as an everyday creator.

While I do enjoy creating things myself, I also like providing support and mentoring where I can. Are there ways for creators to easily share their work from the Futureland system with the wider internet community? Are you considering "mentor" or "support" participants who do not create, but provide knowledge and encouragement to creators?

Not that you need to support such things. These are just a couple thoughts I had while browsing the link and the other comments here.

How can you provide a REPL language without analyzing it at runtime?
Write Lua random syntax in the REPL? Not a great improvement over
C++. Not to mention that you'll probably use something like `eval`
which is not compilation thus inferior.

By the way, even your original example - I can't see how it can work

only (no mention of types either)? Probably the least
boilerplate-heavy solution would be stringly typed.

Interesting! For me it wasn't until High Sierra that Spaces worked well. I have multiple monitors in a row, and want multiple spaces on each. I found unplugging screens (eg to take a laptop to a cafe) lost the apps attached to each screen. That no longer happens, and plugging it back in, each app / window returns to where it used to be.

I really like that. Feels intuitive and "sticky".
That could be a great idea, luckily the path train exists, although I've never commuted on it so I can't speak to its reliability.
Not saying your class argument is wrong, but in the U.S. at least, engineers and moderators are still protected by the same workers rights laws. Maybe the laws need to be updated to reflect modern service jobs, but all workers fall under them.
If, say, the US or the EU set up a proper carbon tax that is also levied on imports, the rest of the world would probably follow suit.

and so on and so on.

The problem is, no matter how you disguise it, gamers sense in the first case that they're on some sort of rails. Then companies promise the second, whether they mean to or not. But they can't deliver across one game. I remember thinking when I heard the announcement about the Mass Effect trilogy laughing at the idea that they could do it across three. You just can't let the combinatorics explode that much and make decisions that change the story. (Note things like "whether or not a Krogan squad is there" are consequences, yes, but you'll note they do not impact the future flow of the story, so they don't contribute to a combinatorial explosion. It's a linear contribution; you have to model the event and voice act it, etc., but it's still just two story nodes not significantly interacting with anything else.)

Fallout 1 & Fallout 2 were structured as several parallel instances of the first example, which is probably the best compromise you can make to prevent exponential explosion while still giving some heft to the choices.

But ultimately, if you want your "choices to matter", you'd better stick to "classic" roleplaying. A Dungeon Master can react to your unexpected choices and set you in a standard "fetch the thing" quest but then react to you actually accidentally literally destroying the world when that wasn't written into their "plan", and then carry on with the resulting consequences if you like. Computer games are still a long, long ways away from anything like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-1WJtuzPg
