Sharding, and many other finer (game and architectural) design and implementation details. Few MMOs actually have millions of simultaneous players in the same instance of the world or boss or raid at the same time.

The MMO-lite I worked on was made to be as horizontally scalable as possible, and had extreme incentives built into the gameplay to push players towards actions and areas of the game universe that would more fully leverage benefits of the scaling trade-offs we made.

Being able to segment and slice the outbound data from your clusters (and/or what the client requests) - that is, the data and game state equivalent of occlusion culling - goes a long way.
I have trained a dozen or so developers on React and for less experienced developers, hooks are much more intuitive because they don't rely on an abstract understanding of arbitrary lifecycle identifiers, instead, hooks are explicitly executed in application code that is logically accessible to the programmer.
It's also used for "victory". I'd argue in millennials and younger, this is probably the more familiar use because of Pokemon.
Thanks for explaining. I found your take here quite refreshing:

> I would've put in the work to see if there were any recent tweets that indicate his purported bigotry is an ongoing character trait. And if I couldn't find such tweets (which seems to be the case with King), then I wouldn't even bring it up.

I suppose I am genuinely curious in the details of tweet searching mechanics from an Info retrieval standpoint: Do you iterate through a list of "bad terms" to search against the subject? If so, what is your source for such list and how is it maintained?

I guess what I'm looking for, is could this be a standardized process set at the 'organizational level' - or is it a process created by individual reporters based on personal experience?

Again - genuinely curious - no snark intended.
I've noticed that smug skepticism is indistinguishable from fear.

Most people have enough to deal with trying to figure out their social standing vs their neighbors and fighting off the vague dread of their own eventual death.

The HN crowd is absolutely not the exception here, though we could probably swap "social standing" with "JS framework anxiety".

Two possibilities:

1. UFOs are visiting Earth.

2. The US military wants to convince us they are.

I'm not sure which is scarier.

My father, who had both respected military and civilian careers, had a close encounter when he was a boy. He did not encounter a UFO in his career (though his was one of the careers where you might) or, if he did, he took his security oath too seriously to talk about it.

My brother, who had a military career of some note, and top secret (or better?) clearance, admitted to me that the official line is they're visiting Earth but not occupied -- in other words, UFOs are real, and you might encounter them, but let's not talk about aliens. (This was years ago.)

You'll notice that's exactly what they're doing now -- saying, hey, this is happening, but we're not going to editorialize.

I think using the terms 'dialogue' for that is very loaded. It's pre-supposing that it's linguistic in nature by using a term that is linguistic in nature. If you think of it as simply a stream of representations of experience and cognition, why can't language be a separate layer constructed on top of it that we have and animals don't?

Have you ever had an idea or thought, and found it initially impossible to find the right words and phrases to express it? I certainly have. babies with no language can identify objects and people, develop emotional connections, learn skills and solve problems long before they can speak. Are they not concious?
React, Vue and Svelte solve 2 big problems.

1. components (creating re-usable UI parts (i.e. components) that combine data and their rendering)

2. reactivity - re-rendering UI when data changes.

Web Components only solve one of those problems. And arguably not as well.
You have this myopic view whereby you’re only considering the price. what is your health/life worth to you? Saving $30 a pop?

I’ll happily spend that $30 to know what’s going into my lungs.

First and foremost, lets get it regulated, _then_ let the market set its price. Sure there still may be counterfeits but at least discerning consumers will have a choice.

You point to other areas where regulation could be better enforced as a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater here, that doesn’t jibe.

Even flower can be tainted, look at the paraquat fiasco (related to Mexican weed, coincidental to your last point, but still: regulation and testing of flower would be beneficial too): https://www.nytimes.com/1978/11/19/archives/poisonous-fallou...

Auto filling passwords is pretty convenient but every password manager user needs to find the balance between automatism and security. Browser extensions may not be the best thing out there when it comes to information security. We decided to not support auto filling with Passfindr and rely on copy/paste. It's easy to use and works on all platforms.
Also, the same policy can occupy a different place on the right-left spectrum in different countries. For example, as an American that's lived in France for a short time, I oppose English as the official language in the US, but I support French as an official language in France (although I might argue that other languages, like Occitan, should be given equal status as well).

Why? Well, I don't think English is in any danger. People are learning English all over the world, and I've never in my entire time in the US had someone try to speak any language other the English to me. On the other hand, French, while still a very important language, is clearly on the decline compared to where it was a couple hundred years ago. Lots of French musicians these days write songs mostly in English. I'd be sad if the French language lost its central position in French society, and I think it actually is important for the government to try to stop that from happening.
Not just that, but you have to do physics and other calculations on each object and even between objects many times per second. So if your server handles 20 ticks per second, you only have a budget of 50ms per tick. Even on a beefy, many-core server, that's a lot to do in not a lot of time, and you can't afford to have any inconsistencies with performance (like GC stalling for several ticks).
I have no experience of this myself, but know people who do. They describe it as feeling extremely connected, in love and energetic. I can imagine that having sex while in that state is a fun thing to do and a good bonding experience.

You vastly underestimate the amount of work it takes to build a game, even with all the excellent tooling out there.
> One fun thing about having a personal domain is that you can keep the contents the same forever, but take a few days every so often to port it to some new stack you want to try out.

Oh yes! I'm playing with Hugo today and maybe Zola tomorrow. Now I'm on Dokuwiki, before that other CMSes.

I always thought of that as a weakness, not being able to be content with something, but the way you phrase it lifts my spirits.
Even though you're getting downvoted it's worth expressing this over and over. But we're dealing with an entire cross-cutting section of society that magnifies every problem into a crisis, so it'll almost never be received well.

The constitutional checks and balances are definitely relevant and vital here, but it's worth noting how distorted they've become. Presidential power has been elevated in practice, but it's also been mythologized. Most people have idealized the role beyond it's traditional standing, and this lends itself to degrading the rules and scope of the role itself.

Congress is supposed to be a body of deliberation, but due to party politics has devolved into a purely political sphere of battle. So Congress is complicit with enabling the president to act beyond the circumscribed boundaries that are constitutionally defined.
I like that if you eat a healthier and more varied diet you end up with a more complex password.
As you suggest, there's much more legwork already done on both the technical and design fronts that people can leverage.

But there's a wide difference between making a proof of concept and making something that scales+people want to play.

The former is much more tractable these days, and the latter - ignoring the difficulty of competition - is a bit easier but still a hard problem. Content is somewhat easier to create, but still hard to scale (and quality demands are higher to match the improved general capabilities and expectations).
Like I said to another commenter: you would still probably have a problem if I were to call someone queer when they don’t identify themselves as such though. I think that’s where the issue lies for me.
They should improve their UI, provide a real chronological timeline, stop harvesting user data, create a better way to organize and access historical photos, stop spamming people with phony notices, end deceptive ads and all sun-glass sales, and let ALL friends of users see ALL of their friend's posts again if they really wanted to make people "feel better". ಠ_ಠ
I just prefer batteries-included and fewer decisions. Angular already compiles components at build-time using the Angular CLI, and the new upcoming (November) Ivy engine is going to produce bundles that will rival in size with any framework.

The webpack build that the Angular CLI uses internally is completely transparent, you don't have to know Webpack at all. Just do ng build --prod and you have your optimized bundles will all the bell and whistles.

Webpack is even going to be replaced by Bazel but we won't even notice it, all we have to do is ng update and live goes on the next day after the release.

The Angular ecosystem with the Angular CLI is just so stable and complete, with hardly any API changes in years, it's just a joy to work with. The CLI even integrates with Sass and other CSS processors.

You can really focus on the application, and forget tooling. I think the take of Angular on batteries-included tooling & their take on incremental upgrades are such a huge advantage over other ecosystems, AFIK nothing else comes even close.
Well until you hire an army, then it's quality, and tooling to manage content, then it's back to creative direction as the blocker.
No, but it's becoming less relevant now. Certain things thought to require bp rewrite (e.g. vdev removal) are now implemented without it.

The fact that he's still writing is kind of amazing. Besides him and Knuth, who from their generation of computer scientists are still active?
Your argument of self-regulation and lack of government intervention is pretty well undermined by the current situation of hundreds sick and a dozen deaths in a period of months. Sure, the market may correct, but the damage done before that isn't fixed.

As for things like neem oil etc., perhaps the current regulations are insufficient, doesn't mean they should be done away with all together.

Also, regulation doesn't automatically stop market competition: If the market has corrected the use of pesticides in the past, there's no reason competitors couldn't do so again through market forces above & beyond what the regulations require. Heck, it happens all of the time. The FDA has minimum guidelines for meat grading, but there's plenty of competition on quality, e.g., Angus beef, that is far above the minimum grades required for human consumption.

Regulation sets a baseline minimum, not a maximum, and there's an endless number of items that compete on quality much higher than the baseline.
That absolutely does not follow. Test pilots are prepared and trained for the extremes of control. It's a totally different skillset.

The point of the test flight is to push the plane as far as it will go. Practically all drivers, regardless of skill level, will lose control if you have them hydroplane a car. Race drivers will not. With a couple advanced driving classes suddenly most people will be able to handle a slide much better. There's a gap in experience, not talent. There is no such gap between any two normal drivers.
I'd guess that within 2 years AMD will be competitive to Nvidia at the high end. Their strategy is a bit different, they're delivering good value at 2/3 the way up the performance graph... not as big a markup as a $1200 RTX 2080 Ti, but the RX 5700 XT is decent, especially for the price.

Most people aren't spending over $500 on a GPU, so they get the volume sales. The better aftermarket cards have been selling out pretty consistently. And the longer term strategies are similar to how they approached Ryzen. So, I'd think that Navi can definitely succeed in that light.

The real lock in for NVidia, is all the existing CUDA development. Intel and AMD will have a lot of work, One API may help there, so long as Intel and AMD can work together, without Intel's often and weird lock in attempts.
Something like this might be useful for making better "documentation" for things like API's and man-pages.

Documentation tends to be either simplistic "hello-world" examples or everything-but-the-kitchen-sink dumps that take forever to consume. Neither of these is helpful to a practitioner that just wants to get through a basic task without starting a mini-research project, or getting burnt to a crisp on stackoverflow.

So basically, I am thinking this corpus could be used to filter for specific examples of usage within particular contexts and problem domains? Or maybe not?
It’s definitely good that people are thinking about this but like with many thing, the devil is in the details.

I think there are a lot of parallels to banking & financing and the regulation and oversight of those industries.

Definitely it’s good to do something rather than nothing, and many good things happen because of oversight etc.

But just like in banking, don’t expect this to be a panacea and things are going to happen very slowly.
I really enjoyed this book, especially the chapter on naming.

As a programmer I named dozens of things a day, yet I never really got much advice on what makes a good name other than the standard "make it clear". I wish there were more books out there that went as deep as this book on that topic.

Anyone have any recommendations?

RMS's problem is that he's too honest and anything involving women and rape is just not worth even commenting on at this point. His point was that a willing person shouldn't be considered raped based on the country they're in or the uptick from 17 to 18. I personally believe 25 is a better cutoff age for this.

I get his point, but we have to draw lines somewhere, even if they're imperfect. It's like saying speed limits don't stop all speeding, or gun laws don't prevent all gun violence. Of course not, but in both cases we have to try. We have to try to protect minors whose brains aren't fully developed as well, even if pedophiles don't like it.

RMS did walk back his comments after speaking with close friends of his on the subject, essentially agreeing with what I'm saying here.

The parent didn't mention anything about saving money, or building a machine from parts. You can order a custom build from any number of OEMs and have a same-day on-site service warranty. The point about building a technically superior machine stands. I use Apple for their laptops because the OS is superior on a touch pad. But really all their desktop machines are joke hardware. The Mac Pro is just a bigger more expensive joke than the others.

Intel is old news on HEDT ever since Threadripper became a thing. The final nail in that coffin will be the November release of the third-gen Ryzen Threadripper making that 28 core Xeon obsolete. I'm curious if the new Mac Pro will even be available by then.

AMD builds admirable video cards, but the Radeon VII is inferior for professional work compared to Nvidia cards and CUDA.

MacOS is superior to Windows but inferior to Linux. A lot of people with HEDT builds are in Linux (myself included). I appreciate being able to do some of my favorite Unixy stuff in MacOS at a fraction of the speed, but for high end use it's still a joke.
No offense but Le Pen party is absolutely not an offshoot of a nazi party. The idea that you could casually label a third of France as nazy is strongly offensive.

Le Pen actually tried to join the resistance as a teenager. It is a strongly nationalist and protectionist party which used to be/is xenophobic but it has nothing to do with the Nazi. Trump idea are more radical in a lot of way. Let's not forget he suggested actually building a wall at the border. Also Macron is rightfully seen as center right in France and certainly not as a socialist.

French has been the official language of France since 1539. Having French as the official language is hardly a rightwing position. The question of having an official language is only seen as rightwing in the USA because it's done to spit the large part of the population speaking Spanish. This is purely cultural. It's a bit like supporting gun regulation which is seen as left wing in the USA while not supporting it is seen as being a lunatic in the rest of the world.
We have literally been there before, it's not a solution. An army of nerds hired into a government funded office has the effect of burying the issues out of the public eye. Over time, with a financially incentivized industry lobby vs a government office doing a thankless task (because it is out of the public eye), you create political imbalances (with the nice-for-some side-effect of employing a few people). The NRA (boo), EFF and Amnesty International have effective models, because their efforts remain in the public eye.

I think that if you really care about this issue, it's most effective if you donate to a special interest group like the EFF, and stay informed.

I'd like to see background dedupe. Dedupe is not useful in many real-world situations because of ARC space requirements, but a COW filesystem ought to be able to find duplicated blocks and rewrite pointers at some point after the data is written; after all snapshots are a very specific type of deduplication, so most of the machinery is there to handle it.

I have a data store (nightly build archive) that gets almost 3x reduction in space used with dedupe, but the performance hit is just too big for us to use it.

This particular chemical is linked to a pesticide, and could be on dry herb as well.

Even then that's only for the boot chain after the application boot loader - you for example can't run custom UEFI apps in the Qualcomm eXtensible Boot Loader (let alone custom TrustZone applets or Hexagon DSP firmware) as those are still locked down to Google's RKH, and similarly Google also (unlike a number of Chinese vendors) does not offer their-signed firehose emergency recovery blobs in case of a hard user brick (say, erasing the GPT on the flash).
What do you propose a "stay on 4G" option would do when the device loses 4G coverage?

Drop signal altogether?

iirc falling back to 3G from 4, or 2G from 3 is to cover temporary coverage blackspots and allow data / voice communication to continue. Albeit less optimally.

Sure, Windows machines have always been cheaper for similar specs and performance. The Mac Mini and GPU setup is way cheaper than the new Mac Pro and hits a bunch of the use cases (development, machine learning, gaming) that people wanted a Mac Pro for.
Regarding webpack builds... absolutely NVME, when I went from SSD to NVME it's the Node/webpack build times that I really noticed the performance differences.

I would think the extra cpu would be more of an impact with Rust than even C++... I wouldn't know, running a 3600 as a place holder until the 3950X comes out. I couldn't handle the 4790K anymore, going from 32gb to 64gb and the couple extra cores made a huge difference for my docker/vm workflows. Can't wait for the 3950x. I'm sure the TR 3rd gen will be similarly impressive with the changes to IO.
