That's an interesting idea.

However, I'm a counterexample unfortunately. Of all the games that ardit33 talked about, I was between 12 to 18. And for me that period was the golden age of gaming.

A fun side anecdote: I remember when I played GoldenEye I had an English to Dutch dictionary, just to understand the missions! I really got caught up on the term "rendez vous with 006" (this was with the level called Facility), I couldn't find it! And my parents weren't that great in English or any other foreign language, so they didn't know either. It took me 6 months of asking some people from time to time to figure it out.

The golden age of gaming for me was between 12 to 18. I loved Warcraft 3 for example. And I felt it all went slowly downhill after the first installment of World of Warcraft.
it used to be.. it evolved. Find some people that you admire, and follow them. See what they say. Interact with them. see what you get out of it
The problem with your ninja gaiden example is more the implementation of the feature. Enemies would be specifically placed in location where they'd knock you back off screen over an open pit far enough away they'd respawn as soon as you moved forward inevitably sending you to your death.

Also, i'm fairly certain it had more to do with the way the nes held the screens and enemy objects in memory than an intentional choice. Most games on the nes had respawning enemies once you returned to a screen. And after going through the source code for metroid, it's simply because of memory limitations.

https://www.metroid-database.com/source-code/

The ninja gaiden developers took advantage of this by placing enemies in the most frustrating positions possible. I've beat all three of the originals a few times and i grew up playing the hell out of ninja gaiden 2, but that enemy placement is sadistic for the sake of it.

While the actual article was midly interesting (this wasn't exactly news as its been covered a lot in the past), I would've linked a less politically and morally biased website.
Not in general. client_oid is meant to be different for different orders. It is a "cookie" that the clients can use to later identify orders placed through the rest API. "later" here can be via the websocket stream, or after a crash/restart.
Fair enough. In re-reading my own response, I also think I came across my more antagonistically than I intended, so my apologies for that.

I do agree with what it seems your overall point was: that “escape room”-style team-bonding exercises could have merit, and also the idea that escape-rooms with a strong / compelling narrative are probably themselves more engaging / thought-provoking. The specific example happens to be bad, and the element of surprise has issues, but please don’t let that detract from the concept as a whole.
Headlines like this spread misinformation and help drive media distrust. It doesn’t help that most people won’t read past the headline.

And if that isn’t enough, you have to put glasses on the face of the sleeping or unconscious victim.
It's known for ages that there is no defense against nuclear submarines equipped with MIRVs that could obliterate e.g. the whole West Coast in a single shot. That's why North Korea went from cute game of a little rocket man to something super serious as they finally learned how to build both missiles and proper submarines.

Russian defense was always based on rockets anyway, they made the conscious choice long time ago as the most cost-efficient approach. So their air carriers can be weak, planes can be only half-stealth, ships can be outdated and falling apart, but rockets are always top-notch.
Keep in mind that we're talking about single digit percentages of a battery's capacity being used. Also, its likely that many of the EV-to-grid arrangements will be for fleet vehicles (company/city cars, plus self-driving fleets when they happen), and they will be technically sophisticated enough to negotiate that capacity sharing with the grid operators.

So you won't ever actually have a scenario you describe where a private EV will have it's battery depleted.
-They will not die instantly, for sure, but the temperature extremes will definitely not do them any good over time - I'd be lying if I said I sat on the edge of my seat during biology class, but I think survival at those extremes was measured in days if not hours.
I can only talk about Swedish jails, but suicide attempts where People are held before prosecution and before sentencing (called arrest and häkte) are common enough. Just random googling gives me this: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/sjalvmordsforsok-sker-var...

Saying that there is a suicide attempt every week in Swedish "Häkte", meaning about 52 attempts per year with an average of 9000 people in "häkte" over the course of one year. And that is only in the cases where people are actually prosecuted. There are lots of mentions of suicides in "arrest" as well.
There's a very simple Android game called Very Angry Robots, where you negotiate maze-like levels filled with robots trying to kill you. The robots aren't very clever, so you could clear any level by taking it slowly. Except that there's a slow-moving but indestructible robot which can phase through walls, which enters the level if you're there for too long.
The list is much longer. You're driving past a kindergarten; watch out for children. You're driving past a school. You're approaching an area with many users logged into Google so watch out for pedestrians. You're crossing a bridge. You're passing a point with an unusually large number of accidents in the past.

If that isn't to become some sort of text-to-speech database dump about the area, there has to be a good theory of the conditions for what's worthwhile. And I sense that the natural conditions are the same as the conditions for putting up warning signs, reducing the speed limit, etc.
On the other hand, some of the best games I've ever played only came out in the past ten years (Dark Souls, Soma, Tacoma, Outer Wilds, Subnautica, Factorio). I don't feel gaming is worse off now - we have so much variety to choose from. Whatever special interest you have, there's likely something out there for you to play to accommodate your interests.

I do agree though, that we've lost some things (while gaining others). Blizzard is no longer putting out the same kinds of games that put them on the map. A lot of valuable IP's that forged the gaming industry in its early years are forgotten or killed off or have some weird mobile/mobile transaction-ridden game to carry the flame. We'll probably never see another Starcraft. The next Diablo will likely be a huge disappointment. We've lost studios like Westwood or Maxis. We're never getting another Silent Hill. Or another Metal Gear. The list goes on.

And then you have a company like Nintendo that's pretty much doing exactly what they've always been doing, putting out the same kinds of games that made them so beloved (with many improvements and experiments along the way). Or Sony with its laser focus on great single-player experiences without loot boxes and their crazy large number of first-party and second-party studios.
It's not even on f-droid. You install the binary they control and connect to the servers they run, it's literally a proprietary app, just like Telegram.
Hey this looks really well put together, nicely done! Maintaining a connection to all these exchanges, and managing that data, is no easy task.

A few random questions:

1. Can you speak more to the "synchronized clock" part? You augment data feeds timestamps with your own?

2. What kind of database did you choose for this? How much data are you managing?

Also, (promise you'll give me a discount if tell you this?) this seems underpriced. I haven't seen anyone sell truly high resolution depth data going months back yet. For BitMEX nonetheless. But maybe i'm out of the loop. Anyways, congrats on the launch!
Your point on time limits reminds me of XCOM 2, where Firaxis added turn limits to most missions to combat this same problem. They ended up doubling back a bit in the expansion by adding more untimed missions and a setting to ease the timer, because a sizable amount of players complained that they were being forced to make bad decisions. I personally agree with you on this and think that needing to optimize a bad situation is more interesting than always being able to use the boring but effective strategy, but it's clearly not for everyone.
This perspective was reached after a discussion with a top adviser of Trump, Clinton, Obama and other world leaders.
Really? I bought that and the wheel and I'm not sure it was regarded as the best even in 2008.
That's pretty old design. Doesn't China have a supersonic submarine/torpedo now?
How much of a battery drain is current AR tech? I would imagine it's decently computationally expensive.
I just want to caution against this advice as it's very likely to be dangerous and counterproductive for anyone who actually has real issues with their hands. The solution is to stop typing immediately.
Indeed, it's client order id, not customer id.
Motion blur indicates direction, you could maybe use a weird aperture shape to simulate it, but things at different depths wouldn't blur right due to not picking up different parallax movements the same way, and other moving objects that weren't in focus wouldn't have their motion blur picked up correctly.
It's taking up just under 200Mb on my server, with most of that allocated to the MySQL daemon. I have noticed page loading can be pretty slow. No idea why since the CPU monitor never goes above 10%.
Slack does have E2E (from their perspective) encryption available, but it's the company paying for it that holds the keys, not individual employees.
Discord has already had it for a while. Some users seem to appreciate the mandatory cooling-off period while others feel it makes it harder for them to respond when a bunch of users pile on them in quick succession.
He has money to spend. While here on this site most voices critical of Trump and his pogroms are flagged and therefore verboten.
Good point about the other states served by this launch site.
It’s secure but only if you choose it to be explicitly.
Too expensive "overhead" for IBM to develop? So rather, they employ 1000s of humans for the work? The math don't check out for me

Is there a visual warning already? Like this for example (from Germany)?

I had a similar pain problem that affected my back, neck, arms, wrists and fingers. I ended up having to cut out most carbs from my diet to reduce the inflammation that was causing the pain. No breads, rice, beans, starches, bad sugars, etc. It's been more than 2 years now, and I've have zero pain whatsoever since I started that.
I don't know which particular "9000 series" you're referring to, but C9K (which the article refers to) isn't EOL. It should be straightforward to get parts for these, via multiple channels.

The deployment model for grey market bit is usually on networks that run on cheap models. They'll do things like buy one of the devices through white channel market and get SW access. Then, they'll turn around and buy a bunch more grey channel devices and use the SW access to upgrade, etc. As long as the device can handle the PPS and bitrates needed, its good enough for these networks. If it dies, buy another one and let it hang until it gets replaced. There are plenty of networks that just don't care about the operational issues.. and they love to keep cisco because of talent pipeline and training ecosystem.

Anyway, running equipment without vendor support is fine. If its a config issue, the docs are okay. If it is a bug, 9 times out of 10 TAC throws a random bug ID and tells you to upgrade. Naturally, It becomes an issue more when you run on the periphery of what is supported.
That's not accurate, it's supported on one of the two desktop clients.
That's a rather long advert, do you perhaps instead have links to something less "BUY MY BOOK! SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER! SUBSCRIBE!" and a little more scientific research?
It would be easier to implement something like this for Lisp.
Customer managed keys are not the same thing as end-to-end encryption. With CMK Slack employees still have access to your message content and can still respond to subpoenas / FISA orders / national security letters / etc.
Celeste is great. I'd second that recommendation highly and throw in Hollow Knight as well. I've got almost 100 hours in it and watched less than 5 minutes worth of cutscenes or exposition. It's just pure gameplay and the difficulty gets pretty unreal. There's a ton of other great indies out there with the same, turn it on and play. I'd given on gaming for a while. These new ones have gotten me to enjoy it again.
How about people just pay more attention when they drive their 3000 lbs hunk of murder metal?
Similar time frame for me, but I loved Warcraft 1, 2, and disliked 3. Loved the first Diablo, zero interest in the rest.

The golden age for me was perhaps a little later, LAN parties with friends, primarily FPS games with some RTS mixed in, circa 2000-2003. My biggest mistake was thinking as we got older and had more money we could do this more, but instead it was never.

There are a lot of really good games out there. Game developers (specifically indies) have learned lessons from old games. Some games are updated persistently thanks to disliked business models. The nostalgia factor is hard to overcome, but it is something that is completely invisible unless you were the one playing the game 20+ years ago.
It's called "playing to win". Staying safe behind a chokepoint might be unexciting (usually not boring, given the satisfaction of aiming and hitting and the sense of accomplishment of clearing enemies), but rushing forward and getting shot is on a different level: it's simply a mistake, and players learn to avoid it.

Personally, I tend to play Doom cautiously, engaging as few enemies as possible, retiring eagerly, and often running through exposed areas instead of stopping to shoot. Other FPS games, particularly PvP ones require a different approach: if the main challenge is to keep moving to find enemies and ambush them, or to aim and dodge well enough (or better than the opponent) during brief one on one encounters, the "door problem" simply doesn't exist.
Is this really any different from what MS does with Windows volume licensing?

If you don't like the license model of IOS (etc), buy hardware that is supported by free/open source OS instead.
I doubt I’ll ever be trading enough volume to support this expense, but you just might get me addicted with those monthly free API access days...
They have it available only for 1:1 chats and cryptographers have criticized their odd encryption scheme. They do not have it available for group chat at all, Telegram always has access to all group chat content.
If you walk out of someplace and think it is unsafe and call the fire department, I can’t imagine a single location in the US that wouldn’t be “surprise” inspected the very next day.
The cookie acceptance banner for this site is one of the most obnoxious that I’ve seen. Basically accept them or leave (no problem with this as it’s their site).

I just emailed you, this definitely looks promising!
Which raises the question - how do you describe an explanation that justifiably (or at least plausibly) relies on conspiracy?
I feel the 2000s were slim pickings, and the 2010s have picked up again (Portal 2, Dwarf Fortress, GTA V, Factorio).

Edit: actually I take it back - there were some great games in the 2000s too (Deus Ex, Half Life 2, Fallout 3, Mario Galaxy, GTA IV, The Sims, Bioshock).
mainframes can run rhel vms which are basically standard rhel installs that you assign RAM/CPU/storage to, with the benefits of mainframe hardware (eg. massive I/O bandwidth) so you can be happy with your mainframe because you are running rhel on it :)

But realistically mainframes are a small part of IBMs business so there are lots of reasons for IBM to buy Red Hat that are entirely unrelated to mainframes or POWER hardware
Switching to Dvorak saved my career. It forced me to type extremely slow for awhile, which helped my pain subside. I haven't had a problem since. Qwerty is such a terrible layout.
So you have to distribute the entire mono runtime with each individual Blazor app? And you're running your app code through not just one but two virtual machines (Mono, then WASM)? No, I can't say I'm too excited about that.
I'm not really sure what you're saying. It looks like you're humorously drawing attention to the fact that the user considers the app to be extremely good and just lacking one nice-to-have feature (encryption), whereas you believe that they have misjudged the importance of that feature and it is, in fact, essential?
its most likely a tow company looking for repos.
I was fortunate my first job out of college was a large defense contractor. The last thing they do to get your cube set up is take your measurements and set the desk, keyboard, monitor and seat heights appropriately. I’ve been using those measurements ever since.

I was also fortunate to have taken an entire year of typing in high school. Not only did I get my wpm over 90, but the teacher was a stickler on posture and hand position. That discipline has stuck with me 25 years.
The very traditional view of science as the formulation and testing of universal laws applies fairly well to the study of electro-magnetism, for example. The properties of electro-magnetism, for example, it is reasonably safe to assume that the properties of electro-magnetism are the same today, as they were yesterday, and the properties are the same whether in New York, or in Miami. But this view of science is completely inadequate outside of these, so-called, hard sciences. For example, philosophers of science have tried very unsuccessfully, to rope in evolutionary biology into this view of science. The fundamental problem is that the object of study changes, in space, and in time. If there is a universal law, it is highly contingent--the number of conditions in the if-clause, is enormous. And the most famous "law" in evolutionary biology, the Theory of Natural Selection, is itself entirely empty of physical content: its an algorithm, that can, or may not be, instantiated by a physical system, and because there are many ways in which the algorithm can be instantiated, getting the nitty and the gritty to actually formulate predictions requires the specification of an enormous number of background facts. Instead, evolutionary biology is a model-based science. Scientists evaluate models, models that only partially explain limited portions of the world, and these models usually explicate a process. We have families of models, describing Darwinian processes under different regimes.

I do expect that some experiments conducted in psychology are non-repeatable, especially if they become famous. The question isn't whether it was science, but whether the target phenomena is important enough, and stable enough, to warrant our interest.

In anthropology, Clifford Geertz famously argued that if there are laws of culture, they must be entirely uninteresting ones. His approach, instead, was rich description in place of theorization. His arguments are compelling, however, he too had this notion of science as universal law. I would argue that a model-based notion is much more productive, and much more accommodating to the problem domain. Let me go one step further: what one should focus on instead, is process by which phenomena observed are instantiated. Similar processes can result in quite different outcomes, and similar outcomes can be the result of very different processes.

I work in the field of decision neuroscience. We work, largely, by linking human behavior and neuroimaging to fitted parameters in a family of reinforcement learning models (see: Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction, Sutton and Barto). Decision making processes are largely invariant, even when knowledge, and domain-representations, might change with changes in popular culture: that is, changes in behavior can be accounted for by changing the priors, or input information, into the model.

This link re-routes to Medium, can we get that fixed?
Not exactly. Keep in mind the people using the products in a large enterprise are not, generally, the people who have to pay for it. If you break these two people into their respective, high level, org groups it will generally be: procurement and engineering.

IMO it's not that the engineering group is trying to not be trustworthy. It's that they have a job to do and IBM knows that this is their goal. So if we let engineering do their job, uninhibited, then there's a high chance that if the product is useful to do that they'll keep expanding it's reach internally (land and expand). This is just a slightly different spin on how the vendor allows the end user client to use their product. It's very likely the agreement between IBM and the enterprise client clearly spells this out. However, since the client is bound to pay for overages in arrears they are now at the mercy of not having as much leverage in price negotiations. A smart customer will predefine usage level bands as it pertains to discounts. For example if we're using 10k seats of RHEL we get 10% off list, 20k seats @ 20%, etc.

The disconnect is that procurement is likely disconnected from engineering for the better part between audits and they're not well prepared to have the after-the-fact negotiation to true up licensing. IBM, and others, bank on this by selling the value the customer is receiving from said products in use. The disconnect here is that had IBM enforced hard license limits the organization may say that the product is too expensive and look for an alternative because the customer is forced to buy more licensing mid-budget cycle. It's harder to rip out or change 20k installations of RHEL than it is 10k. Vendors know this and leverage this consequence of using this approach to keep the customer on the ball and chain.

So we have an enterprise that doesn't plan or communicate with itself very well and a vendor who puts out the all you can eat buffet to the hungry engineers. It's not technically wrong, and if an enterprise gets burned by it technically it's their own fault. Is it by design? For sure and my guess is that this type of model pays dividends all while being on the up and up.
