> The galaxy of New Eden is composed of nearly 8,000 star systems.

I loved Eve Online when I played it in the mid 2000s but its point and click mechanics as well as you'd have to wait days even weeks to acquire skills in some cases made me lose interest in the game. It has its addictive qualities too where you feel you could go on playing it forever while knowing you have got to stop playing it for your own good.

Years later I got introduced to Elite Dangerous and it's been a lot more fun than Eve. Elite gives players the opportunity to fly by binary stars, fly through neutron star jet cones to overcharge fsd drives, combats close to stars, land on planets and even more simulated activities. If you have a VR the game becomes a unique experience. The game's map is based on Milky Way galaxy and the systems are procedurally generated. I remember last year the devs announced approx 112000 individual systems were discovered and this is about 0.028% of the total. Anyway, a few months ago I solo traveled to Sag A* and returned later to the bubble (where Solar system and surrounding systems are). It took me 2 weeks to complete the trip and at times it was pretty boring. On the other hand it is the only game that let me experience the stress of flying near a black hole and I am grateful to the devs for making it possible.
I don't see an issue boycotting all those which did it.

I agree that "they" is awful, and I would definitely prefer that we just have to make the unknown pronoun always be "she" if that is what everyone needs to not throw an inequality tantrum.

Running NixOS on a desktop is a bit of a challenge, and I'm pretty certain not everybody is prepared to put in the time that is required. That being said, it is a good learning experience, and once setup you're golden. And you can always elect to not use NixOS, but only it's package manager, 'nix'.

As always, the answer is highly dependant on a number of factors:
- How complex is X?
- What expertise do you have available for X?
- How critical is X?

But in general, if X is not part of your core business, only as a last resort.

99% of the time, even if there is a suboptimal library, as long as its actively maintainted, you're better off extending the functionality, than re-implementing.
Interesting project! Could you explain what you mean by "since the references are not normalized in the formulas, they can't repeat them even when they behave identically"? Do you mean the normalization from A1 to R1C1 that you mention later in the post or something else?

my unproven pet Theory is that Sanskrit still had the F sound but it was lost and re-interpreted as “i”:

पि

This theory is motivated by the observation that words with पि have an ( inclination towards) F in other branches of Indo-European (Also just the left-hand side of पि without the 'P' which cannot be pasted due to Unicode restrictions)

Eg

fp Here could have been a merged consonant, similar to PF in German: But in other cases just a pure F

The problem is not starting new journals, the problem is having researchers submit their work there. And the problem with that is that the name/reputation of existing journals are currently used as a proxy to judge the quality of applicants for e.g. tenure tracks. As long as that's not changed, researchers are incentivised to submit their work to the traditional, "reputable" journals.

(Disclaimer: I'm part of a project that aims to provide an alternative measure of quality.)
Glass AI, rock AI or mostly clickbait?
The mean rate of failures over time may not be constant, but it may have a mode for an expected life time window. This modal mean rate of failure is what's being described, I reckon.

It would be nice to know the time window, but I'd expect it to be somewhere in the 5 to 10 year range.

I don't understand the problem, and the article doesn't really help. If I understand correctly, universities pay a fee to Elsevier to access papers. They also submit their published papers to Elsevier. And (this is where I'm not sure anymore) they have to pay a fee to make their work freely accessible?

Then why don't they just pay for the subscription, but don't submit anything? Or upload a freely accessible pre-print version like many people do?
Maybe the player themselves wanted to referred to using neutral pronoun? Maybe they didn't want to reveal their gender? I don't see why this is a problem and triggers such reaction

If you block the small guys from scraping you're just helping already huge monopolies tighten their grip on the content market.

It's not about can only humans feel pain and other animals not. It's more: do some animals do not feel pain. I don't think many would argue dogs or even mice do not feel pain.

I am not a biologist, but from working in labs that do research with model organisms (like drosophila) what I understood is that there is little evolutionary advantage of being able to feel pain if you cannot heal it anyway. Also if there are no nerves in some regions feeling of pain is unlikely. I remember that someone told me that experiments show that drosophila with servered legs don't change their way of walking, and do not limp as animals do that feel pain. So the notion got adopted that they cannot feel pain and experiments on them are ethically save as they do not suffer.

Thanks for pointing it out! I've updated it
From recollection the article was clear in inferring that the human player wished to remain anonymous including identifying features. We are only told:
- avatar female
- player had slight southern drawl on phone.

From this information the gender of the player is unknown, and since the article is about the player, not the avatar, gender neutral pronouns are appropriate to maintain journalist integrity.

From your comment it sounds like you’re attributing gender politics to this article where there isn’t necessarily any.
Your style of argument fundamentally doesn't work. This comment is no better than your earlier one.

1. Dismissing someone else's personal anecdote because you have a different personal anecdote is basically broken on the face of it.

2. Saying "Being called smart doesn't hurt anyone, I know because of my personal anecdote wherein I was not called smart" is just not any kind of solid logic whatsoever.

3. Dismissing their anecdote as a single instance with your single instance when there are actually other anecdotes here in this very discussion that agree with theirs and it's the essential point of the article under discussion is not a reasonable claim in the slightest.

4. All research has its critics. Rebutting my comment with "your research has critics" while ignoring the myriad other flaws in your initial position amounts to cherry picking.

If you want to debate this further, let me suggest you address the other points I have made and also go find research that actually agrees with your world view as stronger arguments than your current one. Otherwise, it's most likely really not worth engaging.

This is awesome work. My team implemented something similar but more powerful, a PGP packet library: https://github.com/summitto/pgp-packet-library

We were looking for a solution like this but with more flexibility and power. Using our library you can generate PGP keys using any key derivation mechanism for a large variety of key types!
What are "red queen games"?
This would be a sick joke from the God, because as the article imply, they still feel the pain after healing. It's worse than we have it.
It's not just that the platform needs to be considered credible; it's that they're used as a proxy for the relative quality of academic research. So an article in Nature is considered "better" than an article in Humbug's Best Journal.

Generally, I think the better idea would be to unlink evaluation from publication - so researchers can publish their articles wherever, and separate from that, reputable colleagues endorse their works (or not). In the end, journals derive their credibility from the reputations of their peer reviewers and editors, so that is a way to cut out the middle man.

The challenge, of course, is getting researchers to actually do that.

(Disclaimer: I'm part of a project that does exactly that.)
The protocol is still pretty bad engineering, with plenty of ways to screw up.

I work in an industry which uses PGP unfortunately, and a bunch of implementations. It's very difficult to use modern, secure cryptography with PGP. There are so many different options and backwards compatibility hazards when dealing with whatever other PGP implementations exist. There are many bad options you can choose in PGP, and lots of software gets it wrong. Old ciphers like IDEA and CAST5 are used. Old school RSA padding. The MDC tags are still Sha1 I think.

Badness everywhere.

Only if they're the same version (which using the older built-in package system all packages are likely built against the same version)...

If the containerised versions of apps all have different versions of dependencies (quite likely IMO as they'll have the freedom to), there won't be any sharing.

The choice is easy: pay more for intel and 'It Just Works (tm)' or pay less for amd and fight with issues.

Intra-CCX latency is now awesome, and all inter-CCX (including intra-CCD) latency is not bad (and goes through IF) - what's interesting is that intra vs inter-CCD latency seems to be within a ns or two. Pretty impressive (considering it needs to bounce through the cIOD)!
Why would it? A computer has no nervous system or self preservation biology that would make use of pain signals.
All ASRock AMD boards (or nearly all, but I haven't found any exceptions) support ECC memory.

I'm not sure about Asus' X570 line since they market a board with explicit ECC support, but their lower-end and mid-tier X470 boards supported ECC. Their higher end boards -- curiously -- did not.

You can generally tell if a board supports ECC by looking at the board's manual. If it supports ECC, it will be mentioned.
No, the step that converts the aluminium hydroxide into aluminium metal is an extremely energy intensive step. You won't be saving energy unless you use solar thermal to heat the kiln. And you'd have to do this if you wanted to use the batteries again as the batteries are single use.
There have been many, many initiatives based on this thought. However, in my opinion they don't quite hit the mark.

The problem blockchain solves is wanting to store data, making sure that it is not tampered with, but without a single party you can trust.

That's not the problem of Open Access though. Everybody does trust Elsevier not to intentionally tamper with scholarly articles, and they have no reason to. The problem is the oligopoly they and a couple of other publishers have, and the ridiculous prices they charge as a result. Those aren't just solved by adding another failed player; you need to remove the reason the oligopoly can continue to exist. Blockchains do not do that.

I think the argument is that "they" is often used in the plural form, and requires context to determine where it's referring to the singular. This context isn't always clear which leads to ambiguity.

Regarding spiders: at some point I got interested in macro photography and one day a big spider happened to be on my desk. It stayed still for more than an hour and I could get really magnified shots from several angles, and study its little eyes and minute details on the legs.

But there are also large differences.

Silverblue still uses a single namespace for all libraries (unless you count Flatpaks, which can bring their own dependencies), whereas on NixOS you can have many different versions of the same library in parallel.

In NixOS, the whole system is defined declaratively, including the system configuration, whereas Silverblue uses a mutable /etc.
> It's been a decade and IPv6 has barely entered the zeitgeist of the common internet user.

It has not been a decade! I remember printing out the draft spec in the late 1990s thinking that I have to get ahead of this curve. Twenty years in the making.

I recall at the time thinking initially that the obscure nomenclature for addressing would be annoying, but that it clearly would be fine. What do I know.

In 2010 hackernews luminaries predicted the ipv6 momentum singlularity here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1236048

The fact of the matter is very very large private corporate networks do not need more addressing space. ISPs use CGnats. Most home broadband routers|modems are junk. It is just a mess
PoE ports are pretty amazing though if it can charge over it
I'm pretty sure the SE version might.

Downside, you'll need a gold mine to pay for it.
They used to think black people don't feel pain too, it would be good to do a long term study to determine if they feel pain since they clearly can't determine if others do.
Yes, the FOSS industry needs to grow up about software quality.

It is natural to have very expensive checks in development and test-environments, they help and aid development and QA to no end, and of course they should be disabled in production.

But the run-of-the-mill assert which documents integer ranges, pointer non-null-ness, data structure relationships and so on, cost nothing in performance and should be left in production code.

And as I said: We developed Varnish Cache to prove this point, and we overwhelmingly have: One bad CVE since 2006, and "only" about 20% of all web-traffic goes through Varnish at some point or other.

Re Huawei:

The report claims that there where no checks at all, and I'm saying they have not documented evidence for that claim, because the lack of checking code could be either disabled asserts in production code or the compiler reducing it as dead code.
Ok, but the UI could easily offer both.

1) share with specific people

2) make public

It's not hard to understand, and it would be more explicit about what it is doing.

As it is it should provide a subtle notification imo, that the link generated is viewable by anyone.
Interesting. Do you have a source for that?
This author seems to be believing in the myth that there is such a thing as intrinsic smartness (being smart without effort). She perpetuates the misconception, without realizing the point she herself is making. Nobody is smart. It just doesn't exist. You just missed all the effort that went into becoming smart.

You have the same myth in fighting sports. "Some people are just faster" sooner or later becomes someone's argument why they're not as good as others. They have the same nerves you do, and the ion cascade in their nerves is the exact same speed in theirs as it is in yours. It's just effort (in training, beforehand, not in the actual fight). Nothing more (aside from one thing: smaller people are in fact faster. Not because they think faster but because they have less torque to fight. A point that will be made in any karate tournament)

Doesn't it seem a bit convenient ? The "truly smart" examples she gives:

* a schizophrenic

One sign of schizophrenia is doing the same thing unceasingly for absurd periods of times - sometimes decades. How much effort did this guy put in ? Not for good reasons, perhaps, but ...

* a "female technology manager" ...

.. dedicated her whole life to work. Then, one day, her husband asked her for a divorce because she barely came home. After 18 years, her children realized that she wasn’t the one who raised them ...

* just truly "gifted" people

They often have no balance in their own mental well being. Once they have identified an intellectual need, they try to fulfill that need single-mindedly at all cost. These are the people who are truly “gifted”.

* Herself

My intellect was in fact much more average than anyone realized. It was my “work ethic” that made me seem like an “intellectually gifted” person.

I feel like it is very important to give kids (yes, through forcing them) the ability to focus and expend effort to achieve a goal. This is of course not to be pushed at the expense of everything else, but it very important.
The concept of 'free health care' in the absence of infinite resources has to be heavily qualified and that's the tricky bit.

Contrast with the macbook I bought it, it worked for several months, the hard drive died, I took it to a mac store and it was fixed within the week. The ecosystem around the computer matters.)
