It does. The first version on Steam was $0.99 (it was a tiny game too). Then I think it was $2.99 for some time, then $4.99. The price on itch.io stays at $2.99 because their system does not allow us to increase the price without taking the updates away to those who have already paid the lower price. Probably the price will increase when 3D modes become less experimental.

There is an interview with Anders Hejlsborg https://youtu.be/wSdV1M7n4gQ where he talks about how the Roslyn and TypeScript compilers are designed to support IDEs, with a structure that allows the compiler’s model of the program to be incrementally updated as the code is modified. So there has been some fairly prominent work along the lines you want...
>It is accepted everywhere.

Not in my experience in the least bit. Germany was the only place that I’ve been where there were so many non-credit card restaurants etc. I was traveling for work in Bavaria and baden-württemberg. It was an issue and we had to make sure I selected the right place to use my work cc.

I took some personal time in Munich and most of the places I went were cash only. 2 students, one from Finland another from the Netherlands complained about the cash issue and forgetting it multiple times. Leading to interesting situations.
You don't see the job descriptions - the companies see your profile and get in touch. This approach is better for the developers, you don't need to make lots of applications, just 1 profile.

> (you appear to be incredibly casual about a bureaucrat deciding whether your life will generate a sufficient "return"...is that because you think it can never happen to you?).

Not at all. I understand that there's a pot of cash and unless we have a government that is going to expand that pot of cash by either raising taxes (which I would be all for) or increasing borrowing that then we need NICE to make some decisions. Their mandate is to consider what's best for the population as a whole, not what's best for the government. It may have let you down, and I really do feel for you and your situation, but the extreme negativity with which you portray the NHS is unwarranted in my opinion.

I don't know what condition you're referring to, but if it's chronic then I assume it would likely bankrupt you if you tried treating it in the US.

Other aspects of our system that work very well is that NICE can negotiate with the pharmacutical companies for lower rates, because we have the buying power of 65 million people. US hospitals are often negotiating individually and so their costs sprial.

> You can seek a private opinion but you will be seeing the same doctor (who will likely not know anything beyond NHS policy)

That is far too sweeping a statement, this is the truth map:

* There are private only specialists

* There are NHS only specialists

* There are private only specialists who may do NHS overspil work that a private hospital has tendered for

* There are NHS hospitals with 'private wings' where you'll be treated by an NHS specialist

Depending on the specialism a specialist may be 'attached' to a private hospital group (like HCA) and you can call up HCA [1] and get a quote for anything you like (that they provide). If you have private insurance then you can get that private work covered if the insurance company is willing to pay for it - just like all insurance healthcare models around the world, or you can pay for it yourself.

I have spent the past 15 years building a healthcare software company and work with the biggest private healthcare companies in the UK (and recently with the NHS).

> "to jump pay for the time you spent in training last year" is a prepositional phrase.

It's an infinitival clause ('to' is not a preposition here).
It's also pushed by people who just observe how many things are legislated, read a bit of history (monopolies granted by kings, guilds stamping out competition via force, etc) and how cost disease has gotten so much worse.
I feel like this game could be improved a lot with better training data. The neural network doesn't have training examples of things that are impossible, so it's responding in unexpected ways.
As far as I know they only release males, so the males will inevitably impregnate a certain number of normal females, which will have weaker offspring.

So no, it's not a permanent fix, because the survivors will repopulate the ecosystem over time. But there was a significant collapse of the population for a time. And that's a win, in terms of Malaria prevention.
With this attitude, anything is a week long project.

At some point recklessness takes over from lack of mens rei. If someone is so reckless as to have sex with a 17 year old without making very sure that she consents and isn't coerced then they're so reckless that it doesn't matter if they know or not.
The same way that harming people intentionally via software engineering is not regulated now, negligent harm isn't regulated either. I'm not expressing my support either way because this is a complex issue I haven't explored nearly enough - I'm just pointing out that current laws have stipulations for unintentional action or inaction as well.

Claiming ignorance, incompetence or other factors that might lead to unintentional harm does not get you off scot free.
Germans seem not to like credit cards either. Most people pay with cash at the store.
You don't have to extradite the authors if they live in countries in which patent protection is strong and the legal systems are functional enough to impose due process upon them and enforce injunctions/damages. Extradition is typically a last resort, typically for criminal proceedings.

Moreover, an injunction is much more likely to be sought than damages, in which case extradition is unnecessary - all the patentees have to do is get an order from a judge forcing the hosts to take their code and site down.
I feel the author badly misses the point here. It's not that a person in difficult conditions will necessarily suffer horribly from knowing bad things; they might give up in despair, or they might rise to the occasion and do something startling with the limited options that are available to them.

What's really being protected here are the feelings of the more knowledgeable people; preserving an illusion for the vulnerable serves as a reservoir of hope for those already in despair. This is the 'noble lie' of Plato's Republic (sometimes referred to as a 'pious fiction' in religious terms; likewise the field of law is awash with 'legal fictions' that everyone knows are fictional but which are easier to maintain than addressing the underlying problem). The false picture of a reliable teleology serves to soothe the anxiety that would arise if it was widely appreciated that the people in charge don't know what they're doing a lot of the time and are just making slightly better informed guesses.

While individuals, tribes, and small societies can overcome that anxiety, accept uncertainty and persevere or even thrive, the larger a society becomes the more difficult it is to promulgate ideas and actions within it, and (perhaps more importantly) the greater the incentives for those who benefit most from the fiction to uphold or elaborate it at the expense of others.

Of course, most of us are wired to be protective of children and minimize unnecessary anxiety in favor of harmony. It can be both a kindness and good strategy to shield the vulnerable in hopes that they'll make it through bad times relatively unscathed. But taken to excess, it robs individuals of their agency for the sake of a comforting sentiment, imprisoning them in a gilded cage for the nostalgic pleasure of their jailers who are mourning their own loss of innocence. Should the cage be breached, the unwary inhabitant may fall from a cradle into a horror for which they are utterly unprepared, a far crueler fate than the most pessimistic decline.
Oh cool, so as an engineer I'm expected to know instantly if what I'm working on is legal or not, although most of these cases take years of legal battles or involve huge working bodies from EU, etc.

Maybe since engineers are expected to have such good judgement, companies should strip their legal and HR departments and just put related matters for vote in Jira.

* Stallman did argue that Giuffre, a child victim of both Epstein and Minsky, was "willing".*

He absolutely did not. He speculated that Minsky believed she was willing, while she was in fact being coerced by Epstein. If true, that's a substantial difference.
I was the QA Lead for Grapics on WarCraft3. This was Blizzards first 3D game and the early engine was very error prone but with the meticulous attention to detail and the sheer amount of time we spent polishing. This game turned out flawless for its time. Early on there were many models that would glitch and there was a massive artifact issue that would happen in multiplayer games. I’m sure the developers found it very frustrating but we fixed it! The solution was hand crafted per model every time. There were ~800 bugs in graphics.
> That fear is founded on the longstanding principle that seeing is believing. But it seems as though that old axiom may not be true anymore

This was never true.

First, one is not “seeing” a thing when it is witnessed through a medium. One is witnessing a representation, not the thing. Seeing in the axiom above means, for lack of a better term, “eyeballing”.

Further, any magician will tell you that eyeballing something doesn’t mean you’re seeing what you think you’re seeing.

I have a hard time relating to this whole “omg, deep fakes horrible” thing, I’m in my 50’s and I relate to the author’s son’s outlook more closely.

I have a counter to that axiom from modified old country wisdom: “Don’t believe anything you hear and only half of what you eyeball”

I think the principle of living frugally and investing what you earn is admirable. To my eye it isn’t particularly innovative, but rather articulates a strategy, a set of values that many people have either lost touch with or not been exposed to.

You can live on investments alone, and they probably don’t need to be as much as you think.

However, I associate those ideas in the US with northeast upper-middle class culture ... which also tends to have a “Puritan work ethic” ... that work is good in itself.

This notion that work isn’t intrinsically valuable or worthwhile is interesting.

The problem with those arguments is that no potential harm through such genetic modifications has been demonstrated yet.

Even those mosquitoes surviving has done no harm.

A downside to Hormones is that you need to find the breeding grounds. Potentially every puddle or container of water. However, the modified male mosquitoes are like homing missiles.
No, it's not obvious what it means.

In everyday English, it would be obvious, but regulators and politicians are not bound by that.

"It's obvious" is rarely a good argument on this particular site. If it were obvious we wouldn't be talking about it.
> If you're rewriting a game from scratch, how can you possibly make the new engine bug-compatible with the original to this extent?

Well you have the original source so you can derive the memory map and then just create an artificial "buffer overflow area" where the maps can write to that you then copy into the actual game data.

But thats what some of the bad actors want. For you to trust nothing. So even when you see real news, which portrays them in a bad light, you won't believe it.

We need to put our trust in something. But be careful about what we trust. And always be prepared to change our minds when were proven wrong.
Blizzard already doesn't exist, it's all Activision and the future of their games is to take all the dark patterns they can think of and run all the players through a funnel of obfuscated currency and gambling and call the ones who emerge spending thousands "whales".
Why not? Unlike governments, private companies can't coerce me to use their currency. If I think their currency is garbage, I'm totally free to not use it and to convert any Libra I receive into USD. That's not at all true for government-issued currencies. For example: If I try to pay my taxes with anything other than USD, men with guns will come to my home and put me in a cage.
You're right that open source in itself is not a business model, but as a community it tends to have a similar set of ways of monetising.

But I disagree OSS produces better quality than commercial, because the two don't always equate.

What you're likely referring to as high quality (Firefox, Android, Chromium, Linux, Gnome, etc..) all have massive commercial backing. They are commercial products without a doubt.

There's a ton of stuff that isn't commercial software like GCC or GNU tools but these aren't necessarily high quality unless you're capable of using them. That is, OSS is good quality for those who are likely developers or otherwise technically inclined.

If we take it back to the context of open publishing models, we have to make sure we can build a business model that works for everyone, and not a subset niche of readers.

I really don't believe there's a solution. As much as it pains me to say, I think diversity of revenue sources across the industry make for the best option - being ads, subscriptions and government entities all in the same market, which is basically what we have now. Much of the minute details of the status quo need to change, but I believe this is it for traditional* news publishing.

*I think independent influencers and creators who are funded directly by fans are likely the biggest shake up, but that's still just a subscription and at much smaller scale.
I think distributing the costs is entirely reasonable; warranted, even. That is, after all, why insurance works at all. Distributing the cost by inflating receipts is, no matter how altruistic or “necessary” you may think it to be, a fraud.
Agility is not about deployment speed. It's about being able to react quickly and easily to new information (customer complaints, bugs, new opportunities, etc). You don't need a perspective from the inside to make the claim that AWS's evolution rate of existing products is weak. Innovation speed might be high horizontally (launching a ton of new services), but not vertically (improving existing ones).
This just seems like a pretty dig. The issue of feature verticals/microservices/soa leading to complex UI interaction is a fundamental issue we can actually sink our teeth into. I'm not really interested in the minutia of particular aws failures.
There should be a difference, but there rarely is.

There is broad search going on for potential mechanisms with which such modifications could cause harm. None have been found. At some point it is time for limited experiments in the wild. We now have evidence that the "fail-safes" don't work as intended. Maybe you need to have multiple such genes.

It's a different situation with nuclear energy, with multiple theoretically impossible accidents. You could categorize those as unknown unknowns, but, I mean, they have been known to happen...
Man, you hit the nail on the head with this. I agree with everything you said. I wish WoW had some solo content for me as I can't always be available to raid anymore. Plenty of my friends have been playing classic recently and have been just complaining the entire time.
