CS:GO just isn't a fun game for me. Maybe there are cheaters, but sometimes its hard to tell. Instead, I prefer framing it in same vein as why Fortnite isn't fun anymore: People are just way too good nowadays. I like to think I'm generally good at video games, but the people who play CS:GO regularly have a laser focus on it. They're better than good, and that skill discrepancy ruins the game for other people. It takes one Insane Tier player on the enemy team to ruin the game for me, or one cheater, and the probability of running into that in an average game is just too high in the top-tier competitive games.

Skill-based Matchmaking doesn't help, flat out. People smurf. I used to think smurfing was this thing that you'd rarely run into, but then I found out that my roommate smurfs on Apex. At that point, another person in the room said "yeah, I've done that". In these games that are insanely cheap or free; its rampant. I legitimately think that smurfing should be a bannable offense, but I'm not aware of any companies that take it seriously (some have said that its against ToS, but do they apply the same detection heuristics to it they do for actual cheaters?)
I worked on a WYSIWYG HTML editor (Pagedraw) for a while, and came to the conclusion it's overkill for the problem of browser layout.

For CRUD apps, you really just want HStacks, VStacks, and ZStacks like they have in SwiftUI.

They nicely express reflow behavior without driving you crazy or bloating your code. They're a bit more work than drag-and-drop because they make you be explicit about resizing/reflow, but you should be thinking about that anyway.

You'll want to skip that step when iterating quickly on design, but that's why you design in a separate design tool, which is visual and uses position:absolute.

When you're ready to parameterize the design over varying content and screen sizes you'll have to specify resizing constraints somehow, and in my experience, VStacks/HStacks in code are a pretty good way to do it.

I recommend adding building these abstractions on top of flexbox, and adding them to your standard library.

This is all specifically for CRUD apps. If you're making an animation, or something else that would feel wrong to call a "document", you probably want a completely different set of tools.

Sometimes it’s going to be unavoidable. I used to work in help desk and at least once a week an employee would either cry, or take their phone out of the queue and storm out of the office, something to that effect. I remember two occasions where an employee punched a hole in the wall. I took a day off work because one of the callers threatened to come to the office with his gun if I couldn’t solve his problem.

Sometimes there are jobs that have to be done but that make it really hard to control your emotions. And some people have a really hard time controlling their emotions anyway. It’s better to have a safe place to let that out.
The only sense in which he's "wrong" is as you describe: people won't want to use the software, and it's a bad decision when it comes to making money. He's not wrong on some principles-based reason.

I’ve observed on my iPhone X that photos taken with the OS camera app are more “painterly” or blurry up close than taken with ProCam, which I assume is an effect of the additional automatic processing done by the built in app.
That's probably what is usually referred to as "black smearing," which affects most (all?) OLED screens when using a completely black background.

Mars has more resources available to work with and is a less extreme environment than the moon or space. There's definitely a trade-off between quick and easy access to the moon versus an easier environment to work with.

No one can survive in any of these places without a space suit, but on Mars you have easier access to the various natural resources you'd need in order to survive and build additional infrastructure. Light for solar power is consistently available on a normal day/night cycle, as is CO2 and water, which can be used to make methane fuel and liquid oxygen. It has concentrations of sulfur, which can be used to make a form of concrete. The gravity is more conducive to long term human health. All this is relevant.

Surviving on the moon or in LEO is also quite possible, it's just that you'd need to bring more equipment and all the resources you can't find on-site.

> Pop music, a tiny sliver of all the important music being composed and performed today, has gotten progressively shittier. Fine, I'll grant you that. But who cares?

I guess if by "pop music" you mean everything that gets played on the radio, gets aggressively promoted by the recording industry, and has the widest audience I'd argue that many people should care. It's great that there are awesome musicians who are putting out amazing music in their basements or at local shows but if 99.99% of the population will never hear it does it matter that what they will hear is watered down crap? I'd argue that it does. Even your own examples show only a few thousand views. Compare that to what a currently popular song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlJDTxahav0) has seen in views over just one week. The song isn't even bad, but I can see how it could be described as "simple".
But then when you go back to review old photos, they're going to look different than the first time you reviewed it. That's going to be confusing.

> Every statement in your diatribe would seem to be predicate...

I would be happy if they found any experimental evidence for their predictions. If you have followed the field basically the majority opinion was that supersymmetry at the LHC would be inevitably found, as long as the Higgs mass was in a certain range (naturalness argument). Turns out it (narrowly) was in that range but supersymmetry was not found anyways. Arguably a lot of particle phenomenology in the last 20+ years was bad science in that way, because no new phenomena had actually been observed/measured and needed model building. Of course there is nothing inherently bad with conjecture or theory, but given the fact that there are lots of unsolved problems in physics on which progress was made in that time, a lot of what they were doing seems like a huge waste of time.

Philip Anderson made his case for refocussing physics a long time ago: See his case against against the SSC: https://www.the-scientist.com/opinion-old/the-case-against-t... and "More is Different" https://science.sciencemag.org/content/177/4047/393.

Maybe not, but "checkout" still conjures up imagery of libraries, where you get permission to use materials. You "checkout" a book in order to read it. So in that sense, it sort of makes sense to "checkout" a branch.

But imagine bringing a book to a librarian and saying "hello, I'd like to checkout this book" and the librarian says "ok" and snatches the book from your hands and throws it into a furnace and tells you not to worry because she will order a new copy to be put on the shelf.

I used to listen to Scott Joplin records at a slower speed (back in the day, my record player had a switch that ran the record at different speeds). really liked it.
Hm, I was hoping there would be higher-level differences than that. Like maybe the notion of having an index and staging area would be fundamentally different (or absent), or the notion of committing locally and pushing remotely would be fundamentally different, or something like that. Which is not to say command names aren't also confusing in git ('git add' to remove a file is my favorite), but they're not really where I imagined the substantial differences would lie?

I want to see a real teardown of these cameras...

Show me the lenses. Put the coatings under an electron microscope. Cut the sensor in half, and measure the depth of the electron wells.

Then on the electronics side, hook up a logic analyzer. Find the speed of those ADC's. Dump the default register values.

And on the software side, feed in manufactured frames to find out exactly how the HDR algorithm works. Use high speed strobe lights to find out the exact shutter timings. Figure out if it uses the gyroscope or optical flow for frame stacking, and how many frames does it even use? Publish the bit depths and colour spaces of intermediate image pipeline stages.

These 'technical' reports which really boil down to "we took some photos and they're quite crisp" really disappoint me.
Barbara Liskov: Finding the Great Problems – Stanford Seminar
What concerns me is how it got to the point of having to apologize in the first place. It implies a level of disconnect and and corporate group-think that is fundamentally misaligned with core customer expectation of what is in essence a community enabling system. How did Gitlab end up with a set of managers that ever thought this would fly ? They clearly were completely surprised by their customer's reaction - something that almost any of Gitlab' users would have understood viscerally.

This level of management disconnect does not bode well for Gitlab, as a paying customer this worries me...
I bet somewhere on this planet there is now emprical evidence to the efficacy or lack thereof of emdrive and/or other reactionless thruster designs.
Oh, so you're not talking about the two ways in which he is objectively wrong in arguing to implement this feature, only that a vendor has the right to add user hostile terms to their ToS. Ok, well you've convinced me!

Honestly, who here is arguing that they can't implement some form of this? No one. Exactly no one. We don't like what it, and we're the consumer! It's not entitlement to pushback when a vendor changes their terms in a way you don't like.

I have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
I have to ask, "so what?"

Provided the abstraction doesn't leak I really don't care, in the same way that end users of Microsoft Word don't care about the algorithms that kern their text, about how DirectWrite does subpixel rendering, or anything else.

Yes, it's all fiercely large and complex. The original user is pointing out that this is all hidden for simple projects, waiting in the wings for when you need it, and therefore doesn't matter.
There are so many third party Camera apps that it is genuinely difficult to tell whether any of them actually add value or do things that the built-in app cannot - beyond the ability to do "instagram" style filters.
Why would it be expensive? Back in those days, reasonably cheap turntable/cassette stereo systems were plentiful and found in most homes where you might find a C64. And a tape loader was the poor man's floppy drive.

Yes, choose the 70% ... apparently (latest figures I could find) Epic has 85M registrations vs. 1000M (yes, a billion) for Steam.

Steam are claimed to have 90M active monthly users, I can't find a figure for Epic; it stands to reason it's less though, maybe half their registered users (now Fortnite lost its shine??) would be a reasonable guess?

It probably depends on your demographic considerably; basically if Epic have less than 79M active and the demographics are the same then revenue from Steam will be greater, across a wider user base (which might improve ongoing prospects?).

React for 2/3 years, Vue for 1 year building large SASS apps. I use Svelte for my personal site and really enjoyed it, but dismissed it as a contender for my companies latest application. It's community is still too young, there's not enough established, battle-tested libraries for common tasks like routing. It reminds me of React in the early days, I felt overwhelmed with choice and a constant feeling the 3rd party library you are about to go all in with will be shortly replaced with a better, community backed alternative.

I'd love to re-visit that in a couple of years time when it's popularity and community has risen and is more established. Just as React did.

When you see a 100% interest rate loan (assuming no fees) then it basically means that banks lose 50% of the money they loan out and 50% of borrowers are paying their loan on time and have to cover the other 50% by paying twice as much.

Then that is a problem with those language's implementations. Bazel allows for it, it is on those language implementations to provide support. Notably I am not aware of many languages that easily allow access to their dependency graphs (especially without third party tools anyway). To me this seems more of an issue with the languages in question than with Bazel.

Again, I think you're making a fair point about the intersection of privilege and the 'dirtbag' lifestyle, but that's not really what I'm getting at. I'm just commenting that those people with 100k$ vans are sneered at pretty heavily in climbing culture. A lot of other sports cultures are the opposite, where they sneer at people who don't have the 'right' gear. Lots of rich golfers for instance that don't want to interact with the poors and run exclusive clubs partially for that purpose.

Regardless, any leisure time at all is a privilege. Working-class and poor people largely don't have time or money to do _anything_ at all, climbing or otherwise.

I also think you're putting a little too much value on 'adult life'. We can and should work on allowing more people from more diverse socio-economic backgrounds to enjoy more leisure time, not criticize the people that can.

The syntax is almost never the issue.

The issue is that declarative build systems ALWAYS need an escape hatch for the exceptions--and the exceptions grow over time.

We've been here before. It was called Make. And then it was called Ant. And then Maven. And Google still built their own system. And they will build another again.

Nobody ever learns the lesson that a build system is a program--period. Sorry to burst your bubble: there will be circular dependencies--you will have to deal with it. There will be two different C compilers on two different architectures. You will have to deal with it. Libraries will be in the wrong place--you will have to deal with it. These libraries come from the system but these libraries come from an artifact--you will have to deal with it.

The only way to deal with it is to have a genuine programming language underneath.
When you have much more than one line of these "a=b", that sugar helps. XML has hierarchy, you can group related values into elements. XML has comments. XML can be typed, the standard even defines formats for numbers, date and time. There're good libraries to serialize/deserialize objects to XML, from pretty much all OO languages out there. I use them a lot, and I rarely expect users to edit XML, I give them GUI to change the settings they need, updating the config.

Is that not the exact phenomenon I'm talking about though? The markets exist because masculinity says it's otherwise embarrassing.

The same thing doesn't always exist in reverse. It's not embarrassing for women to drink black coffee or a beer, but it defies social masculinity for a man to drink sugary coffee or a mixed drink. It's fine for women to wear jeans, flannel, basically all mens clothes but it's taboo for men to wear any feminine piece of clothing.

You can probably come up with examples that betray this as a rule, which is why I'm not claiming it is one. It's a social influence that's pervasive to the degree that masculinity kills men who don't see a doctor or men that have their masculinity questioned and they retaliate with murder.

You hardly see women committing crimes because they were perceived as masculine.
