The kind of bugs that hamper game sales aren’t the kind of bugs that speed runners exploit - which is what you were originally arguing about.

Sure, some games are released buggy. But even there, blaming the developers just demonstrates how little you experience you actually have with professional software development. You think developers are really that stupid that they don’t know when their own games suck? Usually bad games get released because of financial and/or time restrictions rather than a lack of pride from developers. And often bugs will just be placed on a snag list and prioritised in order of estimated time to fix vs the severity of the bug. Which means many of the bugs you described would just never be financially beneficial to patch.

You keep talking about the monetary impact of bugs while ignoring the fact that software development is a business and thus saving will always be cut where needed. Having your development time prolonged by 12 months to fix bugs most people won’t even see is perhaps the single most expensive and unnecessary way to drive your development.

Frankly I’m astonished anyone would believe development happens the way you idealise, let alone dare to call other engineers incompetent for not writing perfect software.
Only if the non-Tesla car manufacture accepts Tesla's offer to enable it, which means just making their cars capable by following Tesla's specs, and paying a fair share of supporting the supercharger network, proportional to usage. So far no manufacturer has accepted this offer.
Is It a Good Idea to Do Profit Share SEO? Here's What We Found
I am optimistic about the future because the costs of renewable energy (wind and solar) and energy storage (batteries) are plummeting. These trends are likely to continue.
And the ones that realize it too well tend to get killed in the name of progress. The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Juan Manuel Santos even joked in one of his videos that "the difference between terrorists and environmentalists is that, with terrorists, one can negotiate." This is the former president of Colombia, a country where hundreds of activists (including environmentalists) get murdered per year before the complicit inaction of their government and the smears of their corporate media.

I am from a third world country and I have seen the poorest risks their lives in defense of the environment in ways the more educated do not even come close to considering. The rest are being "educated" on a day to day basis on the wonders of consumerism.

A canvas element will get events like any other DOM node. From there on, it's up to you.

Figuring that out should be a good exercise, then. Otherwise, you might want to use some library building on top of canvas.
There is a salt mine in Kansas too, 600 feet underground. Neat tour. I seem to recall seeing a Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica down there.

Also a yearly midnight ride through limestone caverns, though I have not done that one yet.
I'm conflicted about this. As an American we are voracious consumers and highly ineffecient about it but I've been repeatedly shocked in trips to Taiwan and Vietnam about how the consumption there seemed frequently even more wasteful than what I was used to back home, especially in terms of plastic packaged in plastic packaged in plastic Russian doll scenarios that seemed totally egregious but really common.

On the other hand I think it's a little bit easier to notice when it's not your culture for some reason so maybe I'm biased.

> We were seeing an unprecedented CPU exhaustion event, which was novel for us as we had not experienced global CPU exhaustion before.

I'd imagine it was quite novel for most anyone affected /s
Agreed, that is a large issue. You likely would need to limit by geographical region for a while.
Probably lost 1 of 3 phases. You're quite right in that the decision of what phase a circuit is on has a lot to do with business, and hopefully no major repurposing of the space without rewiring the space has occurred. For lighting, you'd want 1/3 of fixtures per room to go out, not 1/3 of your rooms in their entirety. For appliances and receptacles, you'd rather lose a whole function (the kitchen) than be able to cook but not do dishes, with every function trying to figure out oddball workarounds.
Public opinion is not that important. All you need is government money given to research new technology that will make for viable competition. The economics will take care of the rest.

And regarding the public, the public has plenty of reasons to be skeptical. We've been given Iraq WMDs, Obama birth certificate hysteria (more people believed this than you think), now Russia/Trump hysteria. All of this ends up being hot air. So when you tell people they have 10 years to live if we don't do a 180 on our economy, what do you expect them to say?
>I think a state can be all the things I said that China is and still not be a police state. All the online articles referencing China being a police state that I can find talk about the extreme measures in that one "autonomous" region of Xinxiang specifically. Do an internet search for yourself and see.

I think where you wrote that, you thought it goes without saying "Do an internet search for yourself (from outside China, or at least via VPN) and see."

I don't want to add to your words, but that's what you meant, right? You obviously didn't mean they should search within China without a VPN, even outside the province you highlight.

But if that goes without saying, if it's what you meant, then why?

By the way excuse me if I am putting words in your mouth.
If you're trying to do pattern matching, is there actually a widely used alternative to regex? The more I can avoid using regex for mission-critical things, the happier I will be, but I'm really not aware of anything better for this type of application.
I'm thinking we need NYC and Miami to be completely wiped off the map by rising waters before anyone takes action, when D.C. is the new coastline they might wake up and start to change things, I hope it's not too late by then.

This[1] Wikipedia entry claims global solar electricity production is 12.9TWh per year.

Compared to 13,675TWh total annual electricity production from coal, oil, and gas combined.

So we're talking about a 0.09% dent.
It’s very likely Tesla lost money in Q2 whist pushing Elon’s sales narrative. I expect retained earnings to soon exceed -$7B and another capital raise in 2020. Demand in existing markets, like the US and Europe, is down from 2018 and sales are being driven by heavy discounts this quarter, including the SR+.
Well said. And here's some reference https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2017/12/1/1671884...
This is straight up ridiculous! Most people believe they are special so by allowing one criminal to go free (since you convicted the wrong one) others will be emboldened!
> They are there because without variadics, there isn't a good way to do type safe text output in the style of printf.

I think an equally important point is that IO streams in C++ are extensible. You can make your own user defined types work with them. There's no way to add "printf() support" to your own type in C.
I would also add that the mayor and police force are doing nothing to address the increasing lawlessness. The situation with antifa injuring a journalist is a perfect example.

I do this. It's called being an advisor to your business.

I charge US$325/hour or take a % in equity (mostly standard vesting terms with a cliff).

I work with 3-5 startups at a time. What I do depends entirely on the startup. For some I just end up being a sort of confessor or therapist. For others I participate in strategy meetings, give feedback on products or services.

And while I charge, I don't do it particularly for the money. I found that if I didn't charge something, if there wasn't some cost, then my time got treated as an unlimited resource, which it isn't

And no, I'm not looking for additional mentees at this time.
MoltenVK helps some of that, but I think it goes beyond supporting OpenGL. OSX just has so many things that cripple the gaming experience. Here at Atlassian we're pretty much a Mac only shop, and needless to say a lot of us play games as well. The amount of bugs we encounter with OSX compatibile games is stunning. The same game on the same laptop model on the same version of the OS will have two entirely different issues. We've gone so far as to dedicated the first hour of every LAN session we do to fixing OSX bugs. The consistent ones we experience though are input lag issues (i.e. to click and drag to select units, you have to click, wait half a second, then drag, otherwise the drag action will only select the last half of what you were trying to select), a lack of ability to minimize full screen apps meaning you have to close the game to change any setting or join a different discord channel (or do non-exclusive fullscreen, leading to a large drop in FPS), and a small subset of machines (about 1 in 10) that simply cannot go over 20FPS regardless of resolution/rendering settings/game selection. It's surprising given how good the mobile gaming experience is on iOS devices. It just isn't a priority on OSX whatsoever, and the UX of it shows.
If you are a typical Tesla hater then you have been making mistaken predictions every quarter for the last ten years.
I am surprised this is not a bigger news. This project is open hardware and open source. It may be 180 nm tech, it is still nice to see open hardware being released.

Now I could not find anywhere to buy this processor. Anyone knows about it?
I appreciate your response. It was fairly entertaining to read. I wanted to note a few things, which I've done in a convenient and aesthetically pleasing, numbered list, below.

1. I do need to do a LOT of research

2. I thought I would specify that payment could be offloading boring work.

3. I am willing to go against tradition if it's necessary to succeed.

4. I'm not as selfish as you may think!
Using it very incorrectly. With heavy consequences yes.

I am surprised how many people I interview say the same thing - pure JS has to re-render the page and React doesn't, including people who have a lot of JS experience.

Changing the DOM doesn't cause a full re-render, the browser will optimize the repaints to only the parts that have changed.

People don't understand how the DOM works, and its become a great way to filter out people.
That's stretching it, "moderately".

That's effectively the top model with all options ticked.

The Sport model: $26,180

Your choice of paints, included. HondaSense, included.

Want to add Chrome Alloy wheels, sure, $2,000.

But you can then get -every- exterior option for about $1,000 (trim, door edges, puddle lights, splash guards, vanity grill).

And -every- interior accessory for about another $1,000 (HomeLink, cargo, doorwell illumination, etc.).

And -every- electronic accessory for well, just another $1,000 ($1,020 to be precise) - Engine block heater, parking sensors, additional USB charging ports, wireless charging for the dash.

I'm not sure how turning on every single option, plus chrome alloy wheels for $30k becomes "moderate spec for high 30s".
Eh, I feel like Go errors are a mess, personally. Though, I'm not sure how to solve them. Mind you, this is after ~5 years of use, so it's not from "an outsider" - I hope, at least lol.

Most of blame for the mess is that the error interface throws away meaningful information. Then the caller is left mentally checking how to handle the error. Do I value check? Type cast? String check? Does the library expose a function to check, or do I do it myself? Can I get stack traces in some cases without introducing a production cost?

I'm not sure if Go needs a different type of error interface (ie diff methods), or if it needs Generics to solve this properly in my view. But, I just know I've hated the experience.

After I switched to Rust it all felt so familiar, and yet so different. I believe Rust and Go share error patterns. Yet in Rust I'm never left wondering what an error is, what I should do with it, how I check for specific types. This is largely due to awesome enum support and of course generics. Does Go need this feature set to "fix" my complaints with errors? Probably not.. but I do think it needs something.

Though I will agree, I don't think the `if err != nil` is fundamentally the problem with Go's errors, at all. Sure, the UX could be improved, but that's another story all together imo.
I wonder how much data can be processed compared to a modern "hackable" system

Probably not much -- I'd expect that single record lookups are relatively fast, but large scale analysis across large datasets is nearly impossible.

Probably more of a "feature" of a government database than a drawback - the government should be doing as little as possible with our data.

These are good points, thank you.

BTW, I studied a little deeper, Java actually commits the stack memory upon thread creation.

The memory distribution of java process may be seen using jcmd <pid> VM.native_memory as suggested here http://xmlandmore.blogspot.com/2014/09/jdk-8-thread-stack-si...

But due to Linux memory overcommit this memory is not really allocated.

I've managed to create 127000 Java threads on my machine, and the resident memory of this process, as shown by `top` is 2,167G ~ 17k per thread.

If I disable memory overcommit, only around 32000 threads are created.
I am, in fact, a mortal!
The actual conjecture that was proved has a very elementary formulation: if you consider all n-bit words and take any set of more than half of them (i.e. at least 1+2^(n-1)), then this set will contain some word for which there are at least √n other words in the set that differ in exactly one bit position.

For example (with n=64), if you take any set of 1+2^63 (or more) 64-bit words, then for some word in this set, there will be at least 8 other words in the set that each differ from this word in only one of the 64 bit positions.

To illustrate, here's a brute-force verification in Python for the n=4 case, that tries all (16 choose 9) = 11440 subsets:

import itertools
n = 4
m = 2

def degree(word, s):
"""How many other words differ in one bit position"""
return sum(1 for w in s if bin(word ^ w).count('1') == 1)

words = range(2**n) # All n-bit words
for s in itertools.combinations(words, 1 + 2**(n-1)):
assert any(degree(word, s) >= m for word in s)

Note that the test fails (for 48 out of the 11440 sets) with m=3 in place of m=2, so the bound is tight in this case.
It's generally an option you can set. When playing on higher difficulty levels, auto-aim gets turned off. It's actually amazing how well some people can aim with the controller and no auto-aim. I am not one of those people.
More warming seems inevitable, oceans are going to rise, and history weather patterns are going to change. Coastal cities will be flooded, existing farm land will get harder to maintain, and previously infertile land has the chance to become fertile.

However solar, grid power storage, and wind are increasing faster than anyone seemed to be think was possible just a few years ago. Coal plants and coal mines are increasingly price prohibitive to run. New plants are being cancelled and existing plants decommissioned.

UAE (the last place I'd expect solar) just turned on the largest solar farm on the planet! I walk around my city and I see huge solar arrays on parking lots, churches, universities, and even on top of commercial buildings.

Generally it seems like instead of the slow migration that green energy is causing a major disruption. Solar is now getting to the point (in many places) where it's cheaper than many consumers current power bill. 5 year cost to own is favoring electric cars over gas cars, even compared to relatively small cheap cars like the toyota corolla or honda civic.

Tesla is of course shipping more cars than ever and fighting to get the prices lower. Even at $40k to start with (not including federal, state, and power company incentives) isn't too far off the price of the average new car.

So changes are accelerating, Tony Seba on youtube has a pretty good talk on green power, electric cars, and the speed of major disruptive changes.

So terrible things will happen, but I'm growing increasingly optimistic that the worst will be avoided.
Never heard of Beaker before. A quick skim of their site makes me interested. Thanks for sharing about it. :)
And your response gets downvotes because of the preponderance of 'liberals' on this site. No discussion, just downvoted to Oblivion. 1984 happening right in front of us.
None? Usually if someone asks you to pay them to mentor you that's a complete scam. I think anyone willing to pay for that from some self proclaimed expert has already failed. Advisory shares tied to specific deliverables are different- if a world renowned researcher is willing to help you out and connect you to industry leaders and all then a few advisory aharea to bring them on as a board member makes sense, but that's tied to helping the company.
For working in that field, the arrogance of CloudFlare is still unbelievable to me.

After their huge Cloudbleed issue with the addition of this one, they continue to call out everyone through their blog posts. And everyone seems fine with it because they are a hype company.
This makes sense. You shouldn’t call nut juice milk or plants meat. This society has already devalue a lot of words. Please keep the remaining in tact.
US intelligence agencies aren't in the business of picking people up and disappearing them for expressing discontent with the power structure.

I've been using an eGPU for about 6 months now with my 2018 13in Macbook Pro and I love it. It drives my 4k monitor so much better for work tasks, and gaming is fun.

The only issue is the eject never seems to actually work, so I just unplug the eGPU every time rather than safely eject. It's a bit annoying to have every app reboot when unplugging. I'm hoping the next version handles it a bit better.

One change I've made from the article is installing Windows on an external M2 drive over USB-C (I don't believe it's Thunderbolt, just standard USB) because my Macbook was running out of space between Windows and MacOS..looking at you, Ark and your ridiculous 100GB install with another 100GB of scratch space required to update.. Everything seems to work at full speed!
I'm terrified.
For example:
The ice cap melts are accelerating a lot faster than modelled. The mechanisms are not yet perfectly understood.

The major flows of sea water (e.g. Gulf Stream) are at risk of changing completely with the temperature changes, which means dramatic changes in climate for Europe (colder), USA (warmer) (for example) are possible. Who knows - and the answer is nobody really.

The acidification of the oceans as they absorb more and more CO2 is making it harder for phytoplankton to grow. Take away this basic building block of the ocean ecosystem and the ultimate outcome is dead sea, with no ability to generate oxygen, and toxic gases emitted. That will change our atmosphere to be deadly.

These and so many others are not just exponential trends, but have unknown knowns (e.g. methane released from Arctic) and unknown unknowns that will magnify the impact. As people involved in high growth companies and the internet we understand exponential growth - but the politicians and even scientists are reluctant to understand and embrace the consequences.

Meanwhile we are still increasing, not decreasing CO2e emissions. Emissions need to decrease sharply now, to zero, for us to have a chance, and even then it's hard.

There is no political will. We are too comfortable. And then it will be too late.

We should ask ourselves the question - what can we do that's more important than helping to reduce global emissions? And then do something.
There are lots of ways to help, and none of us can do it all, but we all need to do something, and take leadership roles to make the changes.
I wonder even at that point, could we refreeze the earth via megastructure in space, make it miserable for most of us during winters and even summer for a time to 'reboot' the polar caps/antarctica? Or maybe we could make the mega structure only affect specific locales so the rest of the world doesn't suffer as much from extremely cold spells.

I don't think that's the only fix we need though, we'd also need a way to clone and rebuild lost species like penguins and polar bears, and micro organisms, fauna, ocean creatures, etc...

Reforestation on a grand scale and global outlawing of Amazon Forest depletion would be a wise thing as well... I think there are science-based solutions but I'm at a loss of how we begin researching and implementing anything esp. w/ our polarized politics of late that could give a shit.

I guess when it hurts bad enough we'll stop putting bandaids on things and really try to fix stuff, especially when the entire fate of mankind lies in the balance, until we get to that point sadly it'll probably keep going the way it has been.
No, not really. I think the unfortunate dystopian cyberpunk future we're going to see is that wealthy developed nations will be able to afford technological Band-aids, like increasing use of air conditioners everywhere fed from big grid connected photovoltaic plants. People with much less economic means will suffer and be displaced.

I predict massive refugee crises with mass-migration caused by climate change within my own lifetime.
