> I think a fascinating part of Alyx is Valve choosing a female protagonist.

It's in a lot of good company in that respect:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_featuring...

I doubt that VR is more than incremental in terms of creating an illusion of gender.
It can. And if you're the victim of violence, that may be desirable.

Likewise, if you have a fear of spiders bad enough that it interferes with your quality of life, you likely want to be desensitized to spiders.
Yeah, the person above you makes it sound like stores just have giant Dutch auctions for space when it's more like negotiating terms to a contract after they've already passed other qualifying steps.
All that compute and network power and yet GeForceNow performs better for me than Stadia.

I'm just one datapoint, I know, but that's also just a keynote.
Agreed, all the public statements from them were highly bullish, right up until the point where they realized the public markets weren't going to be suckered after the Uber IPO bombed.
Big knife, big slices, lots of force behind it... I can see it. A 2 minute amputation means they were going pretty fast.
The Oculus Quest I bought a few months ago is amazing. It's definitely not going to play this, even if it could support it (it can't on the hardware it comes with), but that's not to say in a year or two maybe there will be a relatively cheap system that can. At $400-$500 the Quest is more along the lines of a new high-end dedicated console, but it also offers an experience at that price point which I don't think can be matched. If Valve can make a Steambox that's a VR headset like the Oculus, that would be huge.

All I can say is that if you haven't tried some of the more unique VR games like Superhot, it's hard to express how amazing this game has the potential to be.
> They've set a seriously high bar for digital store fronts

I agree with your general point, but no. No they have not. The Steam client is terrible. Unresponsive, un-intuitive, and surprisingly bad for searching in as well.
Why are you so angry?

Sorry for the late reply. I don't get notified on replies to my posts. Thanks for the posted solution. It seems to work fine.

I am trying to understand what is happening on line 18 (what's the * operator in front of `answers[:4]` for?) and wondering if it could be re-written more generically based on the output of line 14 (i.e. by saving the result from the first `.solve(constraints)` call on line 14 and automatically appending it as a constraint of something to reject on line 18.
Does that make sense?
I disagree, I was a minimalist when I made 16k per year in a high COL area as a graduate student. Minimalism is about reducing spending, getting rid of pointless (and cheap) knick knacks, and de-cluttering your life. The poor and the rich can both do this...it's not some definitional quality of the poor that they can't have few possessions, in fact they are probably much less likely to own a lot of possessions.
That's such an important point. The two party system caused by plurality voting is so strong it even influences how we imagine policy debates. We imagine there would only ever be two points of view on any policy matter because no one wants to split the vote for the good guys.
We're using Wasabi for storage (wasabi.com) They offer S3 compatible hot storage at at fraction of the cost of AWS or any other cloud storage service.

Timeliner looks cool, but tools such as this are only suitable for the tech-savy crowd. I think there certainly is a market for these sorts of things, and PhotoStructure should be a good fit for those who want to keep thier data local.

Pixaver is targeted toward the vast majority of Google Photos users who don't have a technical background or the desire to maintain local physical backups. Backups running with just a few clicks and they don't to think about buying hard drives or fiddling with code.

As you mention, the data provided by the Google Photos API is sometimes not ideal. Geolocation data and some other metadata are omitted. Currently, only the "optimized" version of videos are provided. That said, our service is not meant as a replacement for Google Photos. We just want to be a way to get your images back if the unthinkable were to happen.
> YouTube and Android in particular seem plagued with privacy and ethical flaws.

Ethical and privacy issues aside, they're also fucking riddled with UX nightmares.
msft is hedging publicly because they know they are way behind the two leaders (Sony, then Google).

stadia has a clear revenue model (% of games purchased). Maybe it will also have subscription model too.

And stadia will have first party titles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Raymond
It certainly does seem to be anticompetitive to (1) own the market, (2) collect the data about the market, and (3) actively use that data to replace or compete with third parties on the market. As per a comment below[1].

One downside with this approach is that you need something to bounce the light off of (e.g., a surface), so adding virtual objects to AR is difficult if the objects aren't positioned at the surface of real world objects. That's an effect you often want to achieve in AR applications.
> They won't release products like Office for Linux

Because the market for desktop Linux applications is too small to be worth considering.

The whole reason they "love Linux" now is because Linux on the server gained too much market share for them to realistically oppose. They had to find a way to make money in that market that didn't involve somehow boiling an ocean of Linux machines. So they did.

Windows is still overwhelmingly strong in the desktop market, though, so they have no such incentive to accommodate it there. Nobody retreats from a battlefield they've already won.
The Index Controllers need the lighthouses to know where they are in space. They simply don't work without them.

I was never under the impression that docker was secure or even claimed to have security (do they?). I feel this is a common belief.

For me Docker felt halfway between VirtualBox and Parallels. And VirtualBox had shared folder breakout exploits as far back as 2007.

I'm looking forward to seeing this supported in Wasmer as well. A lot of these announcements seem to target wasmtime as the default standalone runtime (and it has come a long way, especially with the addition of the JIT) but having the option to compile WASM to native code ahead-of-time is still very valuable.
Haha, no, it's not that. I just used Plaid to get my own balances so I can track my finances, it was nothing exciting.
Everybody will always sell their business for as much as they can. It's unreasonable and not helpful to expect otherwise.
The short answer is yes, I replied to the other comment with several citations.
I’m not going to argue the capitalism aspect as others already have, but there’s also things called copyright, patents, and trademarks. They can be used against people stealing your design.
Apologies, I meant to state that Windows WebView uses MSHTML which is IE10/11. I see in BETA right now is a Win32 API for WebView2 which uses Edge(Chromium)[0]. Not sure if you edited your comment for clarification or if I replied to the wrong post as my initial comment no longer makes sense.

It's probably just that they would get in the way. IK works brilliantly in VR for arm simulation, see: Echo VR.

How does it require less movement? It's directly adjacent to the A key -- only the pinky needs to move, and only one key over.

To hit the key in the lower-left corner you basically have to twist your whole hand at the wrist -- not only is that more movement, it probably raises the risk of RSI to the wrist.

What am I missing?
Yeah. The Whitefox or Drop's Alt Keyboard or the Tada68 or the Magicforce 68.

You can find most of them on Amazon.
That makes no sense. Glasses are not an “interface.” They are an accessory.
This is not how copyright works, depends on the exact application but material is typically not a determining factor.
When the Ultraviolet movie service shutdown they had some mechanism to prevent users losing their purchased content. I don't know how it worked exactly but ultimately it must have been some kind of license transfer. I don't think it's a huge stretch to imagine something similar being applied to video games.
Another interesting thing is that this is going to be the first valve game where the protagonist actually talks.

For me it was the video chat and voice chat though it seems he changed his tune on voice, as the last time I checked it was a 'Never'.
>Microsoft loves Linux because it makes them money. I'm not sure why anyone would expect differently.

It should really be "<X corporation> loves <Y> because it makes them money" because let's be honest, the only reason these companies make any decisions, moral or not, is to make money
They supported <any movement> and showcased these supports with events, banners, and advertisement only because that's what they _need_ to do to make _profit_.

They could easily discard all of these values the moment a government or a market said they can't do it.
Just look at all the companies bowing down to China.
It will be interesting to see if this title can drive adaption to VR and drive sales of headsets and create a market for VR-games. Hard to find a more hyped IP than Half-Life. Maybe it can breath some life into the "it will happen next year"-hype of VR.
I don't totally follow what you're saying. Are you suggesting content creators should have no expectation of ever earning anything, let alone a living, from creating content?
I have seen multiple times from different people that conservatives care deeply about civility, vulgarity, tone.

In my experience conservatives tend to believe that people who civilly discuss rolling back protections for non-male, non-white, non-christian, non-straight, etc. people cannot be guilty of anything, because they did not hit anyone, did not raise their voice, did not say a word that is prohibited on television.

Thus, saying "fuck that" and being the first to "be vulgar" means you "lose the argument".

I'm Jewish. I believe the correct response to people calmly suggesting killing Jews as a way to fix what ails the country is a punch to the face.
And all that for running utility scale software bloat somewhere else, requiring networking infrastructure because the data isn't where it belongs. Talk about gridlock, and hick-ups because some backhoe or fat fingered admin tested the reliability of the the redundancy. As can be seen again and again when all sorts of services degrade or fail globally because some cloud experienced lightning. Instead of a single household, block, or city.

Yah, sure!
If he was not able to manage that kind of money the first time, he will not go very far the second time. Most likely he will come up with a similar Ponzi scheme and burn all his cash.
I don't think you can run a modern Linux or Windows 10 desktop on 512 MB RAM. Even my slim Linux desktop (no DE) consumes about 400 MB of RAM after login. Web-browsing with less than ~2 GB of memory doesn't seem feasible.
The first citation on the page[1] mentions researcher Markus Krajewski who reviewed Phoebus records and concluded "It was the explicit aim of the cartel to reduce the life span of the lamps in order to increase sales [...] Economics, not physics."

Cursory searches of Markus Krajewski yield an IEEE Spectrum article[2] with further references to his work:

> The 2010 documentary The Light Bulb Conspiracy explores the Phoebus cartel as an early example of planned obsolescence and includes interviews with Markus Krajewski. For more on the cartel and planned obsolescence, see the author’s "Fehler-Planungen. Zur Geschichte und Theorie der industriellen Obsoleszenz," in Technikgeschichte, vol. 81, No. 1, p. 91–114, 2014, and "Vom Krieg des Lichtes zur Geschichte von Glühlampenkartellen," in Das Glühbirnenbuch, edited by Peter Berz, Helmut Höge, and Krajewski (Braumüller Verlag, 2011).

The graphics on the promo website are a lot higher resolution than Half-Life 2's graphics. HL2 was photorealistic not by having a high polygon count, but by having desaturated textures that approached the things you would find in a picture of a city. HL2 came out a long time ago.
> Also, I find it very strange that you have nothing better to do than police HN.

Your comment would have been just fine without that last sentence.

(I'm still in the process of waking up and so I have nothing better to do, in case you find this comment strange.)
That's such a slippery argument. You can always underdeliver as long as you promise that 'products improve. This one will too'.

How about I don't pay the monthly subscription/for the controller and tell Google that "payments improve. Mine will too"?

I'm obviously salty because I preordered Stadia (against my better judgement) and it's terrible.
They really did sell everything at Radio Shack back in the day.
Microsoft "loves" linux because it failed to beat Linux with FUD etc.

Microsoft to me is the cancer to the OSS, why not just admit that you had never, and will never love Linux, you are simply doing all these for financial purposes solely, which is totally fine --- just don't ruin the "love" word, it's so awkward.

Life is too short to be cheated multiple times, I will never trust Microsoft since I switched to linux fully 15 years ago.
>The unreasonable effectiveness of X

These are just allusions to classic "unreasonable effectiveness" papers, probably starting with

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreasonable_Effectiveness...

>n myths that people believe about X

Again there are well-known articles that specifically address programmer myths and short-sightedness, generally a good topic.

Many people remember the original, well written articles and want to read more of the same.
Workshop was huge, albeit late, addition for the community, even without a map editor.

But even Blizz couldn't reliably make maps using their internal tools that kept Reaper where he was supposed to be.
I find it interesting that in politics it's generally regarded a truism that everyone with the right to vote should vote.

We don't say everyone should make up their mind on whether somebody is guilty of a crime -- we say a few specially informed jurors should make that determination.

This makes me wonder whether demarchy / sortition / Athenian democracy (rule by the randomly selected; similar to juries) is superior to elective democracy.
Maintenance is a big catch. You can either pay other people to maintain your things, or you can maintain them yourself. The former is expensive, the latter involves keeping an array of tools & materials. Cooking is another, and similar.

There's always the option of simply not doing maintenance and eating unhealthy, of course. But I wouldn't' consider that successful minimalism.

You may have an argument if you never signed up, but if you did, you agreed (when checking the “I agree to the TOS” box) that Facebook can make changes to their TOS and you agree to the new changes. Basically, Facebook can change their terms at any time and there’s jack squat you can do about it if you want to keep using the site.
This appears to be a story about how commercial VPN review sites are untrustworthy because they accept advertising from commercial VPNs, written on and with promotion for a site that provides reviews for commercial VPNs and accepts sponsorship money from those VPN providers.

A pox on the entire commercial VPN "industry". They all deserve each other.

While I don't think you should use any of these commercial VPN servers, I'll give props to WireCutter for at least attempting to do a serious job of impartial reviews.
And since there isn't a ton of data here, it's quite likely that some of the factors are heavily skewed by outliers.

For example, skin color may not be the determining factor in college violence, but social ostracism, so it would only become relevant in specific cases where that caused social tension. The larger problem, however, may be completely unrelated to skin color if most colleges don't have a problem with ostracising people with a particular skin color.

So yes, I completely agree that we need to take a step back and look at multiple explanations for the evidence we have and see if they explain future events.
It's worth pointing out that the L1 cache and its associated logic is the only* way a core talks to the outside world, including all I/O ever. With that in mind it is easy to understand why it is so crucial to performance.

Obviously the comparison should be between today and a society of serfs & slaves.
In politics the opinions actually matter.

It makes no lasting difference to the world if Team A wins against Team B in a sports event.

But public policy choices are absolutely fundamental to personal opportunity, personal safety, quality of life, and financial stability.

There are objectively right and wrong answers in politics. There's also a hierarchy of importance in policy, with some issues making far more of a difference to all of the above than others.

Misunderstanding policy cause and effect and picking and promoting the wrong answers will lead to objectively bad outcomes for at least some other people, and very probably for you personally.

The toxicity doesn't originate in social media. Social media simply amplifies the toxic effects of industries of dishonesty - from PR, astroturfing, and manipulated academic and media narratives, to calculated and deliberate hostile attempts to focus conversations on low-impact but high-emotion issues, and to split populations along tribal and narrative fault lines.
Then there’s always the smug grandstanding from people who think they’re above the grandstanding
I think the description would be clearer if it talked about port forwarding from a remote server to your local machine. After all "expose local server" is normally just about binding to 0.0.0.0 instead of loopback.
Well, what will happen when Google Play Music (or Spotify or Apple Music's subscription store or...) inevitably announces a shutdown in 3 months?

Spotify's been running strong for like 13 years, GPM is about to turn 10, etc. None of those people have been bitten yet, and there's literally hundreds of millions of them.
>stereotype threatening situations have been linked to the inability to recruit and retain women into these fields

Come on, we know the inability to recruit and retain women in these fields is down to a culture that simply does not value the contributions of women in STEM as highly as their contributions in other 'industries'.
That’s really not what’s happening here. The only one moaning is the OP. Everyone else is just reminding the OP that their experience with the kids is still valuable even without a camera stuck in front of daddy’s face.
It’s not new tho, Chelle in portal was a female protagonist, and that game has been VR’d to hell and back.

I think Alyx makes sense as a protagonist given how prominent of a character she was in HL2, regardless of gender.
Did you contact them about it?

Binance.com had the same problem, I emailed them about it and it was fixed the next week.
Our customers typically integrate with us using one of our client-side SDKs (https://docs.berbix.com/docs/client-sdks). Our web SDKs embed an iframe into your website (or spawn a modal) that will take the end user through the image collection flow. Our mobile SDKs get baked into mobile apps so that there’s no additional app to download to complete the end user flow. In either case, as soon as the end user finishes the flow, you can fetch the data about the transaction via our API (or using our backend SDKs).
This is an application, companies can use it commercially the same way you can use bash.

I (and plenty of other people) love and make use of services up until the second they are killed by Apple/Google/etc. Just because a big tech firm doesn't like the product doesn't mean it isn't viable as a smaller business.
I don't know what all these posters are talking about, VR simulates your elbow + arm position 100% with normal IK.

If you don't believe me just load up Echo VR and look at your arms. Valve probably just doesn't want them blocking your view.
Eh, I don't think it's as big of a deal as you're suggesting. Alyx is pretty much the only choice if they wanted to use a pre-existing character as an action protagonist set between HL1 & 2. And from the trailer, it looks like the only "gendered" thing about the player's avatar is the voiceover. That's not a "body swap illusion" like the paper is talking about. In principal, I don't see it having any more deep psychological effect than, say, Perfect Dark.

They also do SEO and WordPress sites. And many of the front end devs also do back end or devops, and vice versa. "Front end" isn't a synonym for an agency employee, it's just one role that may be needed at such an agency.
MS Teams is free.

At a previous company, we had slack and MS Teams side by side, to trial out MS Teams. Everyone preferred Slack by a huge margin. We were told to get use to Teams, because Teams is free.

Guess what, it was fine.. no notable productivity lose going from slack to teams. If anything, team's sharepoint file integration is much better than slack, for keeping a single source of truth.
