uBlock Origin filters can be compressed a bit, FWIW. I’m not sure yet if it’s enough to get it to fit in the 50k limit.
Heh. They’re definitely a content farm these days. You’re not wrong.
If this ruling is accepted, it's going to go a bit further than "can't ban," right?

AFAIK right now, there's no infrastructure for transferring one's games on Steam from one user to another (apart from, say, selling the password to one's Steam account). So would compliance of the ruling imply Steam has to build some kind of digital marketplace infrastructure to allow for licenses to be resold?
I have what is considered safe drinking water. As a precaution I have installed the following filter on the cold line of the kitchen sink and also on the line that feeds the refrigerator (in addition to the GE Filter that is in the refrigerator) since that is where we draw our drinking water and most of our water for cooking.

Laws don't stop criminals from being criminals (except when they do of course), but it isolates them so they can't easily blend into the crowd of non-abusive individuals.

Plus, if something is illegal there's less likely to be an industry driving down the price of that activity. If something is more expensive and less convenient, then people (including criminals) are less likely to do it.
> [...] services run isolated as their own users [...] provides for a clear and simple mental model [...]

How is that a clear and simple model? Are email or printing users?

I think the whole discussion is futile without having a common understanding of what we are talking about. That is:

- What is a user?

- What is a group?

- What is a role?

- What is an account?

- What is a service?

- What is a job?

- What is a process?

- What is a container?

- What is a namespace?

Moreover, you cannot say whether an abstraction is good or bad without knowing what our goals, use cases or target users are.
> I’m finding solace in boredom and using that as a catalyst for change

Yes, this is exactly it! Perfectly summarized my day-to-day after doing everything you listed on that first paragraph. Hackernews a few times a day at most for no more than 5 minutes at a time is all the social media for me.

Not seeing a therapist or anything but my outdoor activities are therapy for me personally, in their own way. Started riding my motorcycle again. Just generally treating myself better, spending tons of time working out and having way more energy, and more time to explore ideas and trying things.

The last distraction I still have is my phone, which goes on airplane mode for a good chunk of the day. Do Not Disturb mode for the rest. I'm done with it all.

20 years ago no one would have ever stood for all the shit distractions that bombard us constantly today. People called and texted... and waited hours and sometimes days for a reply, if they got it at all.

On that subject, the only way to break the expectation that are "always available" is... to not be always available. Just turn that shit off. Don't reply unless you absolutely have to.

It's liberating.
They are, instead, obsessed by money.
And yet, gun crime is non existent, suicide is much lower than the US, etc. China is actually by all measures a much better place to live than the US. The freedoms in the US just lead to death and suffering and political divisions and unhappiness. In China people are unified.

You're mistaken if you think that even the more recent atrocities like the great famine or the violent oppression of the Irish home rule (and ultimately independence) movement have informed the Irish response to Brexit negotiations. It is to their credit that they're pragmatic people, since they could easily dish out a black-eye to the UK if they wanted to.
Also it can encourage making more expansions or DLC, a good example is Witcher3 , if you deliver a quality expansion each year for a few years then people would not sell the game. I am so disappointed on games that the writers wrote a cool story but you need to wait years between releases(Dragon Age) or forever(Half Life) because the management and developers keep rebuilding the engine or try to modernize a good enough game with a big fan base.
PVS-Studio's false positive warnings which were correct [missing do]
As any sector matures it becomes harder and harder to truly "disrupt" (not talking about "fake disrupt" by being better because you take shortcuts even if it breaks the law). You see it in many other sectors, consolidation is key. Standing out, while not impossible, is improbable. This is not meant to discourage people from trying, you never know until you do.

But if big IT has learned their lesson they won't wait until you're too big to run you over. It's why everyone is on acquisition sprees these days, or simply incorporate tech and ideas into their products and use their sheer market share to drown smaller competitors they borrowed the idea from.

A niche may be different since no company can cover everything. But it's still uncertain when they choose to go there and go head to head with you. Google didn't overtake MS by playing in a niche. So I guess it depends on what your targets are.

I wonder if this isn't happening, at a much lower volume, to the population at large. I have a single device connected to Twitter, the ipad on my nightstand.

I don't know how my personal feed developed, but Twitter is nothing but a violent diarrhea of hate and I frequently pick it up, look at the first page, and move on to something else.

It's nowhere near the same thing as watching ISIS videos constantly, but I wonder if we're poisoning ourselves with an unending stream of hate?
Huh. Is it just me? I couldn't make it through more than a screen of this post because of the author's ego that seemed to be spilling out the sides of their mouth.

I didn't "read to the end" like admonished, so not sure if it was meant to be humorous.
Though it seems like it might be easier to ship sand for pre-stressed concrete crossties, given that all the materials must necessarily be connected to the rail network.

Also, I wonder why concrete crossties don't use neoprene bearing pads under the rails to reduce the abrasion problem.

I think I missed the part where twitter has control over what opinions people are able to have. How ever did we every have any opinions before 2006?
A license is a contract between you and valve. You can't transfer that license because the contract says you can't. The court says that the digital game is a good (just like a DVD is), and not a license, so you must be allowed to resell it to somebody else.
Right now we only support Python and Perl, so if you don't wish to use those languages for writing common dev tasks scripts I agree there isn't much value here -- yet.

The language portion of this is powered by the ActiveState Platform which is quickly ramping up. We're working hard on adding support for other open source languages so the relevancy for users of those languages will come into play soon.
It’s not like we run a balanced budget. I hate that we do this, but we can always add to the debt and expect future generations to pay it off.
> That pile of coal out back is TOUGH to compete with.

Really? Take a look at this link. Look at the decline of coal over the last 8 years in the UK. A period in which UK government removed most renewables subsidies, but increased fossil subsidies. UK has spent weeks on end running zero coal in the last couple of years. Today it's at 1.5% of generation. It'll all be gone in a few years.

Further down, look how coal has declined in all those nations, with a couple of exceptions.

Wind is about 15% of UK generation and running nicely.

While I don't entirely disagree I have friends who work for < $5/hr (Eastern Europe) who would love to have the option to do this instead.

I also have friends who work for only slightly more on Upwork projects who would hate it if those jobs disappear under the premise that 'they are getting exploited'.
This kind of nitrogen-rich runoff is essentially pissing in the lake, but at scale.
One technology is called “TREES”, actually scratch that a more advanced version is called “RAINFOREST” (that one sequesters far more CO2 per square meter than TREES alone). Unfortunately people have cut down a significant portion of both TREES and RAINFOREST because they are economically incentivized to do so.
No, they shouldn't. Don't seek treatment unless you need it. Anyone telling you otherwise is marketing.

Sadly no. It’s an hour. He doesn’t take insurance (most good psychiatrists don’t take insurance — I could conceivably manually submit claims and get some of it back but it’s not worth the hassle) and it costs what it costs.
It probably bites one-and-done adventure-style games more than games with the replay value of, say, a multiplayer competitive system or a Roguelike randomizer. That's a category already bit by the people who just watch the game played on YouTube instead of buying and playing their own copy; decreasing their opportunity for first-sale revenue increases the opportunity cost of making such a game.

There will always be developers who will make a game as a passion project, but I'd predict that this ruling'd make the market for the potential next Sierra or Telltale even deader than it already is.
But who will make money on that?
And that’s for a 205mi range (that will be WLTP not EPA so real world will be ~15% lower) on a 45kWh battery back that can only charge at 50kW.

Welcome. I spent the last 6 months doing exactly the same thing and was able to create enough time to start the company I've been talking about for years.

Social media is a curse on our society's mental wellbeing, even if it can be a very useful tool in spreading important information.

I'm actually working on a book which documents my process I developed to do this for myself. Mental models, different perspectives on your habits and vices, etc. Please let me know if you have anything that's worked for you. I think this is something everyone should do.

I haven't seeked help from professionals yet but I will definitely consider it.
How does this comparing to Nvidia's Jetson-Nano(https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-nano-developer-... for $99) which is cheaper and appears to be more powerful?

I used BB in previous projects, one thing definitely stands out for BB is that, it could be used as a product directly with a case and some certification(EMC,etc). Nvidia's Nano is more of a development platform.

Beagleboard predates RPi actually, though after Arduino, BB is arguably the very first board running a 32-bit ARM that is also open source, cheap, small, however it's overshadowed by RPi in recently years.
This will likely expand to at least the whole European Union since european texts were used to arrive to this ruling.

Reddit Security Announcement: Content Manipulation
The study had people walk 10,000 fewer steps in a day. So, walking more would reverse it if the study was right.

In practice it would mean taking periodic breaks to walk around a bit, and trying to arrange things such that you could walk some of your commute, or walk to the store, etc

Obviously harder for people in suburbia.

> EasyOS is designed from scratch to support containers. Any app can run in a container, in fact an entire desktop can run in a container. Container management is by a simple GUI, no messing around on the commandline. The container mechanism is named Easy Containers, and is designed from scratch (Docker, LXC, etc are not used). Easy Containers are extremely efficient, with almost no overhead -- the base size of each container is only several KB.
If they have to build infrastructure to support reselling game use licenses to comply with this law, it's unlikely they'll be able to justify releasing it to France only; there'll be backlash from their users in other countries.
The problem is that websites are also currently a significant privacy vulnerability.

I'd love an adblock system that allowed me to block trackers with a purely declarative API. I do not trust Apple (or Google) when they say that their API will be as effective as current extensions.

Ublock Origin and UMatrix are hands-down the gold standard for blocking right now. I'm very, very cautious about ignoring the advice of the person who made them, and that person is saying that declarative APIs don't offer enough flexibility for the blocking they want to do.

Of course extensions are a privacy risk. But I only need to vet two extensions, and without them I need to vet hundreds of websites. If the current extensions do a better job without a declarative API, then I'd rather risk installing them. You have to look at the risk of extensions in the context of the risks of the broader ad ecosystem on the web.
> China is actually by all measures a much better place to live than the US

I think you need a source on that one. Gun crime is obviously worse in the US - and an ongoing problem - but it's not a huge impact on quality of life for most people.

In suicide, China measures middle of the pack - certainly ahead of the US - but many Western countries do better.

In terms of "happiness" - China ranks quite low on the World Happiness Index:

Insofar as "hold them accountable" means organizing a boycott or something, sure (although I don't know why you'd be against them not allowing state-sponsored misinformation).

I found https://projectvesta.org/ interesting.

I am personally not totally convinced because the quantity of olivine that should be moved is greater that the oil we are currently moving annually, but still it looks slightly better than SO2 because there is no ocean acidification, from my layman perspective.
I find excuses to take short breaks during the day where I can walk somewhere. If there's a choice between the stairs or an elevator - the stairs. Little things like that are low impact, but they add up.
Not once does the article state the expected error rate with the calculation. Even polls give an error rate when they are announced. Saying 29% decrease without having an idea of its accuracy is meaningless. This is simple science. We learned about giving error estimates in college in every single experiment, and now it's okay to throw those out because it concurs with your world view?

Sorry but I prefer to look at things scientifically. You can continue to believe things that fit in your world view, but I prefer science over religion.
Update your profile with an email address! I’d love to stay in touch.
No it doesn’t. It contains a link to an article about supposed “whitelisting” and one about supposedly giving WaPo and exclusive interview in retaliation to the NYT’s critical reporting. These are both the exact opposite of the blacklisting the article asserts exists. Then it links to an article about blacklisting but dismissed it as inaccurate. So there’s nothing linked about actual blacklisting examples by Apple unless I’ve missed something. Elgan doesn’t even say why he is blacklisted.
People already do that, steam key resellers exist. I think you'll find it pretty hard to compete with professional scalpers as a one man operation. You're also banking on being able to sell the game for a smaller discount than the one on offer, later. It really doesn't strike me as a business that would be profitable.
I don't think anyone needs the government's help to know that moving around is better than sitting all day. Whether or not one finds a way to fit that into their routine is a personal choice, but this is common sense.

Well, they're making phone games these days, and they made a bunch of edutainment PC games in the 90s (Mario Teaches Typing, Mario is Missing, etc.).

They didn't make the CD-i games. They did license out Zelda for it, though. The CD-i is a bit of a mess. There are YouTube videos of the games, they're quite atrocious :) There's also Hotel Mario [1] and the unreleased Super Mario's Wacky Worlds [2] on the CD-i as well.

Somehow it must be considered the difference between draft and volunteers and professional soldiers, however.

And also background (both cultural and previous civil occupation) when seeing the matter at the international level.

The old assumption (right or wrong) was that populations of hunters and shepherds were more familiar with slaying than more agricultural ones.

And of course is an entire different thing to kill an animal (let alone a human being) with a knife or a sword (or similar) and - say - pulling a trigger of a firearm from 300 yards away or dropping a bomb/firing a missile from 10,000.
Good article. Basics that everyone can benefit from knowing.

Just one nit/warning... breaking coarse locks into fine-grained locks can be taken too far. There is a point of diminishing returns where you end up spending increased time acquiring/releasing/waiting-for locks. At some point you want to clump together under a single lock resources that tend to often be used together, even if you often end up locking an extra resource or two unnecessarily. As always, benchmark workloads are your friends.
So is an ebook not a good?
If the experts do this sort of work often they'll be proficient in the application of statistics. We don't distrust engineers because they aren't the people who came up with the physics they are applying.
You're better off watching the cutscenes on youtube, the game is truly terrible.

Also the CD-i focused on "interactive media" rather than what most would consider a good game. Hulk Hogan's "Thunder in Paradise" was a companion game to go along with his TV show. Youtuber SuperGreatFriend has a good playthrough of it. It looks awful.
That's the thing though. Martin says that, but then you watch a company scale to billions of people ignoring all of his advice. So the question is - does Martin actually have quantitative proof that what he is saying is correct, or is he just selling wishful thinking? The field of software engineering as an academic discipline is the least understood of the computer science subfields because it's qualitative not quantitative field.

Of course scaling to billions of users only proves that it can be done without quality, not that they could have done it better with quality software.

I remember the CDi as an awful platform. My friend parents got one bundled when buying a big paper encyclopedia that came also with some "interactive content" CDs. Some sort of Encarta precursor.

So, from what I can recall right now, for interactive/video/hypertext content for that "encyclopedia" style stuff wasn't that bad. For games, at least with the selection my friend had at home, was awful, and we rather play with his Nes/Famicom clone.
OP suggested everyone needs it at some point or another which I 100% agree with. Also there is no magic way to know if you "need it". If a person is considering it, they should try it.
