Microsoft is a big company and Windows is a big product. Is fully remaking the Control Panel really such a monumental task?

The Control Panel isn't that deep. It's not as though Microsoft needs to create a UI for every advanced Group Policy setting.

The new Settings app was introduced with Windows 8 in 2013. That means Microsoft has had six years to complete the transition.
This is so cool. Time to rewrite my 5 year old nginx configs to haproxy.

P.S. in typical haproxy vein, its a bit hard to get started. for example the Docker page doesnt have a trivially runnable version for haproxy 2.0 (https://hub.docker.com/_/haproxy/).
F# is good for this, too.

It _kind_ of works in typescript, but it's not enforced by tsc. Definitely helps readability, though.
I think it's pretty rare for a company to make internal commits public once making something open source.
lol yeah, opening link in Incognito bypasses that.
> An already built container is reproducible in the same way that a binary artifact is reproducible. Nix is reproducible to its core, including hash integrity of every tool used to execute the build. Anybody should be able to build a bit-for-bit identical copy from scratch.

This is the goal, but not actually the case. Nix/guix does many things to make reproducible outputs more likely, however people are very good at putting things in a package that are not deterministic, such as the build time down to the milisecond.
I'm not familiar with the scene. Are the speedrunners mostly kids with lots of free time? This hobby must be time consuming.

Or are there also hardcore older gamers among them, who started playing in the 80s, 90s and they have jobs, families and still spend their free time spedrunning games?
>I mean if a name is available to use, you can just use it. There's no negotiation, no price barrier, nothing.

How is that different in domain names? If the name is available, you buy it and use it. And the "price barrier" for domain names was less than filing incorporation paperwork, in my state anyway.

>I think most of my frustration is toward the domain squatting/reselling industry.

At least with domain names you can negotiate with someone. If someone else registers a company name before you, good luck. Same situation, look up the registered members and try to talk them into giving it to you, I guess?

It's not just games, it's life. But to take a non-video game, e.g. in hockey the better goalies aren't better because they have awesome reflexes or quick thinking, but primarily because they're better at predicting where the puck is going to be and positioning themselves accordingly. Same thing with gamers knowing "what's ahead", or "what's ahead with probability". Very few things are so random that "more accurately predicting the future" isn't the dominating strategy, with execution of the moment, while important, not being the primary factor.

It's great if some treatments are available at all, that you can get nowhere else in the world.
How amusingly childish!

Edit: That was before I read the article. He rants, with apparent sincerity, about the politically correct losers who thought that having an official, internal anything-goes-flamefest vent forum was a bad idea; describes how he went to great lengths to preserve it; finds out exactly why it really was a bad idea (it got subpoenaed so Microsoft could rake it for dirt); and then rants about that. At no point does he show any awareness of the irony.

What a guy.

The real joke is that "deepfake porn" has been common in Hollywood for generations. It was just consensual. Google around to see how many shots in sex and/or nude scenes were actually body doubles. Only lately has that evolved into digitally putting the star's face on the body double's body.

There are some serious first amendment issues here. Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, an iconic case that set the tone for modern supreme court arguments, turned on a verbal 'deepfake', the depiction of a celebrity in a supposed real sexual situation without their consent. That involved a fake interview with Falwell published in Hustler. I don't see how that is legally distinct from putting his face on a body double. Both are claiming an untruth, the creation of a fake sexual history, as a form of legitimate parody and comment on their public persona.

Also, half of all porn films. Does using a Charlie Sheen lookalike in the XXX version of Two and a Half Men constitute deepfake? ("Two and a Half Men", "The Big Bang Theory" ... Chuck Lorre was just begging for porn parodies.)

Download/watch "The People v. Larry Flint". I used to use clips as intros to first amendment and copyright law. It is a great movie.
> - Anything written down [..]

> - Anything I say to someone [..]

In my hierarchy these two points are swapped. At least I think there is a real chance to keep written material secret as long as you are not a target of a state level adversary. I can write in a room where I am sure there are no cameras watching and I can put my copy in a safe where I would know if it was compromised. On the other hand I can almost never be sure not be audio recorded - be it deliberately or accidentally by any of the microphones that are almost everywhere nowadays.

We may only be hearing about this story because this kind of language increased its chance of being shared.

Your posts baffle me I'm afraid. You ask

"[...] peaceful, fastidiously civic-minded, or [...] a bunch of hooligans"

You then ask how I really know whether it's being done by either, well, if it's breaking windows it's hooligans. If it's not it's not. I gave you an answer.

You then say

"Maybe the 'peaceful' versus 'non-peaceful' demonstrations isn't actually a relevant dimension"

So you're saying it doesn't matter, then add

"Every demonstration is going to have a few vandals and hooligans"

So you're claiming all protests will end up with criminal damage, then add

"it doesn't alter the legitimacy of their grievances"

which seemingly negates the whole point of your original question. Mate, you're all over the place here.
Ok makes sense, thanks (it was a genuine question, sounds like those protocols are quite complex.)

Thank you Gitlab for the amazing product and transparency. Just watching the conversation as everyone over there is trying to get to the root of the problem is inspiring. What a strategy.
>If they completely severed ties with China there is no value proposition anymore

Becoming independent from China != completely severing ties with China. Also, I think these days a better served purpose of HK is as the access point to the whole Asian/SEA region, rather than the access point to China alone.

Also, HK seems to be (from an outsider perspective) one of the most (if not the most) "westernized" cities in the region, with the proliferation of English language and all, so I can totally see it becoming the central hub in the Asian/SEA region for a lot of companies from the west.

This requires a car you can sell to everyone, not just those who would drop $80k on a car (or even $40k).

From the article: "In 2017, Lucid Motors announced an aggressive $60,000 base price for its luxury all-electric sedan, the Lucid Air, with a range of 240 miles and some other interesting specs."
read the whole comment. Still confused as well.
Potentially unlimited losses if the price goes up to $99999 per year...

Although in that case, I bet they'd just give an excuse and offer a refund of the originally paid amount.
Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense.

I tend to oppose this kind of state usurpation of local authority on principle, and believe that the correct way to resolve this issue is with proper land tax assessments, not outlawing single family home zoning. Still, it's better than no action--more housing does need to be built, and there are too many restrictions on building in cities already.
Probably because those things you wished to do while your mother was hanging around would have been bad for you.

Couple years of dev experience. Have worked around startups before, looking to make a move in my career to somewhere more fulfilling.
I think that's just an (northeast) Asian bed thing. Preferences trend firm for mattresses and you can see this in traditional or luxury places that don't cater to Westerners. The most deluxe ryokans in Japan still have relatively thin mats on the floor, business hotels in China and Japan often have former mattresses, and so on.
Curious if you had success with "generally following the Agile manifesto", or some specific framework like XP, Scrum, Scaled Agile, etc.
Yeah, especially considering Summer Games Done Quick just ended, it seems like a weird take on things. An entire week dedicated to speedrunning the love of the various franchises that were on display.

To see people speedrunning as a negative is just...odd. People played it, and not only that, put the time and effort in to explore it and share with friends. What's the problem? How is spending literal hours collecting secrets and brute-forcing new tech "destroying" the game? Someone's clearly never run a game of D&D before, because I'd be ecstatic if people took literally anything I created and expanding it into a new form I couldn't have gotten on my own.

Imagine, instead of complaining about the exposure, the game's creator used the feedback for another level (LEAVING the exploits in) and leaning on them as intended tech instead of seeing it as some "look how they massacred my boy" pity party. Crazy, doesn't even have to rewrite any engine code, just design a new level that emphasizes the new tech for these speedrunners.

Average Joes can still play the "normal" version to practice, then ramp up to the new one. Why piss on a community that's shining a light on and celebrating your work? Author even ends with "It was difficult to watch them do this to my game but I learned to love watching them" - so is it just a clickbait title? Have I been played? Should I have listened to DJ Khaled?
You're right, and more generally all of the issues are related to the fact that scientific incentives don't typically align with good development. At the end of the day, over a period of 3+ years, I'd rather have the results of 3-4 software engineers compared to 10-12 grad students. However, for <3 years, I'd choose the grad students. Pretty much every incentive in science (e.g. grants, awards) prioritizes being prolific over a short period of time.
You'd probably like DUSK, which is on sale right now on Steam (not that it was outrageously priced to begin with) and looks and feels like a classic twitch FPS (the devs also have another game called Amid Evil, which seems to do away with the 90's FPS aesthetic and go with a more magical setting, but otherwise keeps the same sort of gameplay). I haven't tried DUSK's multiplayer yet, but the singleplayer modes are great.
It also took quite a while for people to come up with the concept of universal human rights, we're still bad at overcoming tribalism, and basing morality on majority vote isn't necessarily the best idea.

That aside, you're right that I also do not assign equal moral standing to humans and nonhumans. However, that does not mean that the same arguments that make me reject culling humans don't also apply to other animals to some degree. I would argue the ethically most defensible approach would be nonlethal fertility regulation.

We currently run our trucks autonomously on the highway, with freight. We are looking for awesome engineers who are comfortable working on a scrappy, driven engineering team.

We use Python, C++, and lots of bash scripting. We are a group of PhDs, masters, bachelors, college dropouts, and high school interns all working together. No matter your experience, we're looking for intelligent folks who have a history of diving excitedly into new fields. We can sponsor visas. All positions non-remote unless otherwise specified.

Apply online, every application is read: https://jobs.lever.co/starskyrobotics/ or email me (daniel + @<company_name>.com) with any questions, but do not send me your resume (please apply instead online).
Economic sanctions against Russia have not changed, nor have other consequences of their action in Crimea, such as their exclusion from G7 (formerly G8, formerly G7+1).

Sure, the topic has disappeared from the news. But that does not mean everything is back to normal. It just indicates the situation is frozen.

More generally, territorial expansion by force has been extremely rare in recent history, compared to previous times. That would indicate that the practice generally being frowned upon, and the available actions in response, are somewhat effective.

As to Syria, I remember hearing about it on the first day of protests. That's not to say it went well in any meaning of the word–there really aren't any good options once a government has decided to brutalise its own people. But it did get attention.
It's great to see this! But they need to make it through the primaries and then win in the general, and this is not an insignificant lift.
Mistakes we made adopting event sourcing (and how we recovered)
> Having kids while prioritizing job over direct care and attention to them has been an accepted (and often expected) pattern for men for centuries. (And for much of that time for upper and often middle class [0] women, too, though their primary vocations weren't “jobs” in the usual sense.)

False. Most men throughout history had to work or their children would starve. Their requirement to work was forced legally by laws allowing wives to sue husbands that did not work and support their family.

For most of history before the industrial revolution, the standard model would have been a farm, where both mom and dad worked, but worked at home. The ideal has always been for moms and dads to stay home, until relatively recently -- certainly not centuries.

Lastly, if we even accept your claim to be true at all, it really would only be limited in scope to the very rich or at least the upper middle class, where men actually had careers 'worth' sacrificing for. Perhaps an attorney sees his work as meaningful and a source of advancement. I highly doubt a coal miner wanted to be in the mines longer because of career advancement. In fact, history is actually littered with the opposite -- working men demanding that they work less (see the labor movement).
Not really.

Buying new tires are a thing. Even if you buy cheap tires and get good life out of them (and that combo is...rare, you get what you pay for), that's, say, $400 ever 40,000 miles, that's a cent a mile right there..and tires are usually more expensive than that and don't last that long.

The most obvious cost of wear and tear though is that eventually the car needs to be replaced. More miles = sooner replacement.
I thought speedrunners were fuzzing games somehow. Are you saying they play the game manually?
Yeah, it’s a cool blurb and a neat game, but this whole post is indie gaming advertising 101.
