I know but I find it hard to believe that Colo provides no benefit. I'm guessing a large part of their AWS bill would be bandwidth since this kind of a pathological use case for AWS (streaming individual video with no possibility to use CDN).
A lot of older games are being re-released so they shouldn't be ignored, and even action based ones often have internal cooldowns and timers for a pseudo turn-based system.

I mean Persona 5 was a pretty big game that AFAIK has turn based combat. It would be nice to stream since I won't own a Playstation any time soon.

Regardless, they are definitely less latency intensive than FPS or other genres.
AR(1) models are commonly employed to model time series, and the "same-as-yesterday" model is the case where the AR1 coefficient equals 1. There is is some mean reversion in seasonally-adjusted temperature, so an AR1 coefficient less than 1 should work better.

Because vengeance as a central tenet in justice systems is straight from the Hammurabi code and unfit for the modern world. If your source is the Bible, I'll agree to disagree.

If you want a legal system that treats citizens fairly, you want one focused on rehabilitation. Locking someone up simply doesn't accomplish that goal. Dehumanising prisoners doesn't either.

What's more, crime is a proxy for socio-economic status, which given the greater inequality in the US, partly explains the disparity with other developed nations.

NAT traversal sounds like a thing I very much don't want to deal with for a production network, instinctively. It's fine for video games with friends but I've seen enough stuff go wrong with even normal networks that I wouldn't want to trust it. If this is what Slack is actually doing, I'd be very curious to hear how it's working out for them and how they debug network outages.

Does anyone use Hashcash? I haven't run my own personal mail server in 5+ years, but I used to feel like Hashcash really helped keep my messages out of spam folders. It seems like SpamAssassin is really the only filter that implements it, and I don't know how prevalent that is today. But I used to spend 10-60 seconds computing a hashcash on every outgoing message that left my server, and has basically no problem with getting caught as spam. But I also had a domain and IP address with like 20 years reputation behind it...

All of this is more or less fine while the company is valued at billions of dollars. But you're right, I'm not exactly sure about the legal angle.

I think the point is labeling itself is very difficult except for special and limited domains. Manually constructed labels, like feature engineering, are not robust and do not advance the field in general.
Yeah, seems to be the case. Office 365 blipped and shortly after came back up. Other services like OneDrive are unavailable, as is the Azure portal.
I definitely noticed slowness as well when I tried it.

I'm currently using overlay because I leave my docker mount on my root partition since ZFS has always been a pain for root. I hear Ubuntu 19.10 is smoothing that over a bit though.

It's too bad because I've ran into issues on lower memory boxes where the Linux block cache and the arc compete for memory and cause performance slowdowns or errors. If all the filesystems were ZFS this wouldn't be an issue.

Also all the other ZFS benefits like resisting bitrot etc.

It doesn't matter which is more important. Two things can be important. The distinction is important precisely for the reason why you think it might not be good for NYT to be legally considered a PAC instead of a newspaper. We have different regulations for different types of organizations. Which one you fall under matters. If it helps, Fox News is in the same boat as NYT here. They are both PACs pretending to be journalism.

When your Kubernetes falls over, you can ssh to it and run commands like it's 2003 (or 1993). When your network falls over, not so much. We deprecated our network virtualization at $work and have been way happier for it.

Also, the end-to-end principle argues for putting complicated logic in the endpoints and making the network boring. See also, TCP is implemented at the endpoints and just requires network infrastructure to drop packets sometimes. You could imagine a congestion control protocol implemented on each router on the Internet, but it would be much more fragile and also much harder to deploy changes to.

It's not that simple, but it's not as bad as the article you posted makes it sound. He's a patent lawyer trying to convince you that you need to file as soon as possible. It's in his interest to convince you that the grace period is worthless.

If you make a public disclosure and someone else tries to file for a patent and the claims are covered by your disclosure (provided the patent examiner is aware of the disclosure), your disclosure will count as prior art and the patent will be denied.

If however you try to file a patent within a year of making a disclosure, your disclosure will not count as prior art.

Here's more reading if you're interested: https://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/s2153.html

The problem is that there haven't been many court decisions to clarify the new law and most of these scare articles by patent attorneys are just conjecture. Also note that most of the articles you'll find in a Google search warning about the grace period are more than 5 years old.

I really have to explain why a staycation is different from a traditional vacation? Fine, a group of tech engineers needs it completely spelled out. Fine.

Yes, because a staycation means either you're at home or doing something nearby home to just no do what stresses you out. Most people do these, especially on the weekends. If that means veging out in front of a TV because it's not your dick head boss talking to you, awesome.

But why the fuck would you veg out in front of a TV 1,000 miles from home when you're "trying to get away". Why would you do something you can easily just stay at home and do? It makes zero sense. Then do a staycation if you're just going to play video games. You save money and can buy more games then. This was made fun of constantly in 90s movies of families going on vacation, then doing nothing but watch TV in the hotel. It's stupid for them beecause, "Oh, they're boomers, haha, they're so stupid... MY GAMES ARE IMPORTANT TO ME AND I IDENTIFY WITH THEM!"

Yea...

You need to renegotiate your salary and scope of duties. It's called assertiveness.

Anyways, I'm not against veging out. I'm fully for it. Everyone needs to do it from time to time and God knows I've done it with video games too. I've done many all weekend sessions before. It's this weird heroine like dependency people have to them that's showing up in these threads. Then they all wonder why they're so anxious and depressed when they have to interact in the real world. If I said I need to smoke a cigar whenever I travel on a plane, or I'm bored at a hotel, while eating, what would you say? But if I say I have to play video games on a plane, or bored at a hotel or while eating, that's okay? Yea, I ruin my physical health from smoking the occasional cigar, but I do it socially and guess what, I'm not anxious/scared talking to people like most people in HN claim themselves. Sure, I sacrifice some of my health, but sure as shit my mental health is better than the lot that vice on video games. Video gamers have both bad physical and mental health.
For one thing, according to the Burger King website, it has mayonnaise on it. Assuming this is traditional mayonnaise, that means eggs.

> The closest to it is something like Node, I guess: install the language, you can wire up an HTTP server with a couple functions, but it’s still lacking the simplicity of PHP there.

How is configuring Apache/mod_php/whatever is used these days easier than require('http')...?

How about the htaccess shenanigans that had to be used to achieve vanity/custom routing?

There's no way the Node stdlib with a hand-rolled path-based router (so as to not require a dependency manager, mimicing PHP - even though npm is packaged) isn't an overall-better story from a simplicity (and performance, and maintainability, and security) standpoint than the Apache/PHP stack.

"Drop a bunch of files into a directory and have a dynamic website" was a romantic idea. Most people probably just use(d) cPanel remotely and WAMP/MAMP.app locally and never needed to configure Apache, but that complexity was definitely still there.

Analogously: Next.js might be the "WAMP/MAMP.app of today."
Yea, but I'm not dependent on them. Everyone here is just, "I need my games wherever I am at all times!" Learn to diversify. Learn to not need technology. Hug a fucking tree.
>but it is true that this article may prevent the company for ever filing a patent application for this idea (unless they have already filed it)

No the inventors generally have a year to file after disclosure. There is a 1 year grace period in that your own disclosure doesn't count as prior art if you are the one filing.

It's not "coherent" information. It's the markings caused by a trillion different impacts. And smoothing things out takes energy, so it would be strange if all those marks dissolved away spontaneously.

> What percentage of your games do you play more than a year after purchase?

Admittedly a very low percentage.

I will say that I definitely spend more than 90% of my time playing games on games that I've bought more than 10 years ago.

To me, games are a way to experience a different life in a different universe that is full with other friends and acquaintances. They are fun worlds that I can visit whenever I want.

That's why stadia (and games that require online connections) are things I can never see myself accepting.
well, not sure if that's the case, but some acts do warrant the participation of the investigations team, or maybe even lawyers. The company has the fiduciary duty of defending herself against hostile actions that threaten their business or existence.
Really, to relate to them?

How old do you think I am? Out of curiosity. Without answering, just check my history.

My point to all of this, the strict addiction to video games is the problem. But people are flail and cry that they need their games so badly like a baby crying for their mother's tit. People need to be able to play video games on a plane, in their hotel, on a car ride. Seriously?

The coding interview comes usually after they vet your resume, any profiles, get you talk to an HR, and potentially check your references.

Even the coding interviews are just a signal against overall performance given a short amount of time. It's only a sample of data, but if you did your interview right you should be able to protect some against bad people getting very lucky. Just like driving a car; bad drivers tend to stay pretty bad, and good drivers tend to stay safe. Even though there's a lot of ways to define what is a good driver, there's clearer ways to define what is a bad driver, and if someone was a bad driver yesterday they are still probably a bad driver.

A lot more common than logging off permanently is logging off except. I've logged off Facebook, except there are some Groups I'd be sad to lose touch with.

As long as there's an 'except', Facebook still has that user.

>"ER MY GOD, I have to play this game right meow!"

It's a sad thought, but maybe games have gotten worse. The industry has been laser-focused on scale for basically 15 years. The success of Rez Infinite, Sonic Mania, and League speak to this, designs from when the industry was clever and lean, and not bloated, cash-hungry, and tool-bound.

I'm fascinated by people's reactions. The identity to needing video games absolutely intrigues me. So yea, at this point, it's my vice to poke and prod and better understand how people relate to video games. So... yea, I'm identifying with trying to better understand the psyche of those that identify with needing video games every minute of their lives.

That, and I'm actually really curious how many downvotes it takes to get banned.
Recaptcha is probably one you've actually interacted with, but even then you're mostly reinforcing existing predictions. But other applications within Google Maps are things like street number recognition, logo recognition, etc. Waymo contract out object detection from vehicle cameras and LIDAR point clouds. Google even sell a data labeling as a service.

I believe Google Maps has a lot of humans who tidy up the automated mapping algorithms (such as adjusting roads).

Annotation is time consuming and therefore extremely expensive if you have a $100k engineer doing it.

> Who are those threat actors?

Any app that includes an advertising or telemetry SDK? App developers will appreciate the ease of just adding a library that from user's point of view is malicious, but neither the app developers nor the SDK vendors will likely want to bother with building and maintaining their own name resolution scheme.

If you consider advertising and telemetry to be hostile actions (as many here, myself included, do), the space of threat actors expands to encompass a large amount of "cooperative hostile programs".
Ah yes the classic close minded fool. My hobbies are fine and great but those video games and the internet are bad mmmkay. I don't even play video games and find your opinion so backwards that I get tingles on my back.

Off-hand I wouldn't consider Latin America in general a part of the West, not in the same way the US or Europe are. Not-so-off-hand it seems like whether Latin America is part of the Western world or something else, that "just happens" to be strongly influenced by it, is pretty open for debate.
