Shameless plug, I wrote about this here: https://blog.mclemon.io/cases-are-hard-who-punched-who - I used a slightly more one-sided example (Petr punches Pavel) to start things off ... but I talked a bit more about other cases to explain how it all fits together and why they're important.

Basically though, in the specific example in the GP comment we know who loves whom by the order of words in the sentence - "${subject} loves ${object}" which is different from "${object} loves ${subject}". We know this because the word order in English tells us this.

But in Czech and Latin this isn't how it works - the word order doesn't have the same significance or meaning as it does in English [1]. You indicate who does what by making a little modification to the words. In this example it's one of the simpler cases - a simple verb with a subject and an object. The subject is the "nominative" case (like the dictionary/default form of a word) and the object should be in the "accusative" case. So it's actually something like "${object.nominative()} loves ${subject.accusative()}".

And just to confuse you further - it's not just "who does what" - there are other cases that denote doing something with or to or in :-) I give some examples in the above link

[1] = that's not to say word order doesn't have a role, it's just not the same role as in English
If you need ear protection, and so does everyone else, then maybe the volume is too high, no?

Also, why not hand out ear protection? Whenever you go into a datacenter there should be a dispenser of ear plugs, so why not too at concerts?

What does a teenager or young adult know about this anyways? Nothing, really, and they aren't even conscious of the damage being done until it is too late.

Personal responsibility for tinnitus? Please. No. Responsibility for tinnitus is diffuse. There's a lack of awareness, lack of education, lack of regulation, lack of enforcement. I don't doubt that legislation could help: just make it a requirement that concert venues hand out ear plugs. It's harder to deal with bars, naturally, but even there, there could be a requirement for a maximum decibels for music at 15ft from speakers, and requirement that there be a sound power sensor. Gun ranges, for example, have to provide you with ear protection, and they do -- what works for gun ranges can work for other public accommodations.

Do you have examples of languages that didn't "develop freely"? If not, this is totally unfalsifiable and unscientific.

(In fact, what does it even mean for a language to "develop"?)

There are many languages around the world that have followed their national evolution despite no contact with Latin, or even with literacy at all.
A lot of tech companies seem to be regularly laying off teams from the Bay Area and moving the jobs to Austin, Chandler, Raleigh, Omaha and other cheaper cities. I know I've seen this where I work and heard about it at other big tech companies.
Remote development via TRAMP is the number 1 reason I'm stuck with Emacs. More support via other editors is always appreciated.
Maybe we can use this and stop pulling new petroleum into the plastics cycle for most products. That would let us leave more of it in the ground. And this also lets us prevent the gases from the food, much of it generated using petroleum products, from entering the atmosphere, effectively sequestering carbon into the products.

If all the system really needs is heat and mechanical energy we can generate that in spades from sunlight. In fact, the sun is far more efficient at directly heating things up than it is at being turned into electricity. So we could actually have a recycling plant that for certain kinds of materials is far greener than throwing the materials away.

First we need to demonstrate that the process works, and that we can spend the energy to make something useful. Then we figure out if we can source the energy from somewhere green.

The only real questions I have are what are the chemical inputs, and where do they come from? And can those chemical inputs be generated directly using heat or do they require electricity?

It's interesting because it suggests that we can build a recycling machine that takes garbage and heat and outputs usable materials.

This is outdated model regarding space telescopes.

With radically cheaper launches, it's becoming quite possible - not now, but somewhat soon - to actually service telescopes, with conditions superior to those under which the Hubble was serviced by Shuttle teams.

With radically cheaper launches, it's not necessary to ensure the 'scope runs 24/7 for decades without regular maintenance. It can even be replaced regularly; including by bringing it to Earth, servicing it and sending back.

Launch prices are going to drop, but so is the necessity to be extremely reliable for the space equipment, for the same two reasons: 1) it's comparatively easy to get to it for a service and 2) it's comparatively easy to just send a replacement if needed.

With space manufacturing advancements still ahead of us - we didn't really experimented with making telescopes in orbit - it's not clear if space telescopes won't outperform terran ones. Space telescopes are going to have advantages like "atmosphere doesn't block part of the spectrum" and "there is no need to make a big structure capable withstanding 1g gravity".

It's still crucially important to be able to do terran-based astronomy, and that's a problem, but there is no doubt that the astronomy revolution which started with Hubble still has major advancements to have in the near future.
That assumption is correct. You see the same conjugation form in other Slavic languages, including Russian.
You're exactly right, insofar as that DoH removes the "speedbumps".

Once DoH (and certificate pinning to go along with it, to prevent you MiTM'ing the requests) is pervasive you won't get to control DNS on devices where you can't execute arbitrary code. That ship has sailed. It fills me with a deep sadness and frustration, but that's the way it will be.

(I went back and forth with tptacek on this in an earlier discussion. I didn't really have an argument, per se, but he demolished it anyway.)

Get ready for browsers (that run inside your browser) implemented in WASM complete with their own DoH implementation, too. It's a publisher's dream come true...
Please don't troll. I'm happy to engage, but not with trolling.
You keep citing that link without reading it.

You're referring to Hydrosol, an EU-funded prototype thermochemical solar reactor which produces hydrogen by splitting water (and using some of that resultant hydrogen as fuel to scale up the process to industrial temperatures).

That is not at all what Heliogen does. Both products are similar in the sense that they use concentrated energy, but Heliogen has more in common with concentrated solar power plants (like the one between LA and Vegas) than it does with Hydrosol.
The interesting part of that to me, too, is how many of them roundabout derive from eras where erudite and highly educated English speakers were forced to learn Latin as well, and in so doing apply Latin grammar rules to English that don't apply to natural English. The most obvious example being "never end a sentence with a preposition", which is a very clear grammar violation in Latin, but natural English has ended sentences with prepositions for a very long time.

To a lesser extent I think it is also Latin education's fault why the "objective" case continues to linger in English, despite being so mostly dead, as it acts as an education marker. `Whom` is a zombie only insisted upon by certain educations and should just be buried and put out of its misery. The confusion around `me` versus `I` and which scenarios to use which probably will only get worse.
As an employee working on a corporate device everything will be tracked anyways, this is the most tin-foil take ever.

Your latter concern is at least a reasonable one, but it should all be open source anyways? Not that any of us have the time to audit everything. I doubt Microsoft is going to allow anything nefarious...
same thing. Had an email from a recruiter and another from financial go to SPAM in gmail.

More, google knew this was a thing because they warned me.
People used to (still?) say people wouldn't enjoy VR because they'd feel motion sick also.

There are games that do make me feel nauseous occasionally, but that hasn't stopped me from putting over 1,200 hours into the games that don't. Even if latency is an issue on Stadia (contrary to what people who've tried it so far have said), there's gonna be plenty of games that don't need the lowest of latencies to enjoy.
> > So far you've given no examples as to why you think that literal copying of SSO of a clean room code library reimplementation isn't equivalent to literal copying of SSO of a clean room REST server reimplementation.

A reimplementation of a protocol will, by definition, have another implementation that has SSO copyright over the API.
Is there any scientific or objective way to measure how "expressive" a language is?
Sure, few people self-pay for the entire thing.

Many, many people pay a deductible, though. Many people pay a copayment. For these, you can still quote the cash price, I would thing, or give a range for what the entire thing costs, explaining the range is because of insurance discounts. In the age of modern tech, this shouldn't be a big deal.

Very happy about this move. Nuclide’s remote development capabilities were way above anything else I’ve tried (Sublime, IntelliJ Ultimate, VSCode, remote SSH mounts, etc).

It’s the only solution I’ve found that really allows you to browse the remote filesystem as smoothly as you would with your local drive (including when you’re also changing the remote files outside the IDE), degrade functionality as needed when the connection isn’t great (using caching appropriately), and immediately recover when it comes back. The only cost to pay was a bit of setup server-side (installing watchman and opening a port, if I remember correctly). I really hope they can bring the VSCode experience to the same level!
But that means writing a reasonable server!

Jokes aside, there are some Korean MMOs that rely on excessively trusting the client as a core part of their business model. If you offload as much state as possible to the client your server costs go way down. Maplestory is an example of this: if a player is alone on a map, essentially all map state, physics, etc. is handled purely on the client. When another player enters the map, half of the NPCs get 'handed over' to that player, and the server syncs state between the two clients.

On the other hand, you have to keep in mind hacks like bots and wallhacks. In the case of bots obfuscation is practically your only defense. In the case of wallhacks you can try to keep clients in the dark as much as possible, but there will always be a period where the client knows more than the player should (unless you want enemy players to 'pop in' once they are fully in view).
I feel like if you need to do these kinds of tricks to win maybe you shouldn't win.
> I'm someone who lives abroad and doesn't like hunkering down with any equipment, not even a bookcase. I don't like staying in one apartment for a long time. The only cooking appliance I own is a single cast iron skillet. Something like Stadia interests me if it can deliver.

But that's the rub innit? The only people who are going to be really interested in this product are the hypermobile, and I don't know about your experience with mobile internet, but my LTE can barely keep a YouTube video in decent quality going. With remote gaming, you're now adding controller input to that datastream, outbound, and then rendering those actions and transmitting back to the device to enable anything remotely approaching a good gaming experience seems like science fiction.

The people who will be most interested in this are those without a "home" setup, and the less "home" you have, the more appealing, but also seems like it would in turn be the most frustrating experience to try and use. Which is sort of what this piece is getting at:

- Gamers don't want it, because we already have our libraries and such tuned to existing platforms and devices

- Casual gamers may want it, but they're already spoiled for choice in a massive mobile market, where games just happen on their already very powerful phones

This puts Stadia in an awkward position of in theory being the worst of both worlds: the limitations of console, with the network requirements only high tier residential internet can deliver, over devices with limited network capability.

It sounds to me more like what thermal depolymerization was supposed to be, eh?
Thanks for that; I had heard of this pretty recently, but didn't know a ton about it, and so didn't want to get into it myself in case I was mis-remembering.
Silicon valley tech companies extend US law worldwide. I know of no case of a US tech company allowing on its platform anything illegal in the US, but legal in another country.

Those same platforms project US culture and norms, eventually giving the US government indirect control of the policy of a target country. For example, gay marriage and acceptance of smoking weed have both spread to much of the world via US influence, primarily exerted over the internet.
Default is definitely different than mandated. Facebook provides engineers a ton of freedom for their development environment.

There are many at FB where we would have to pry vim or emacs out of their hands, and, even then, we would not be successful. :-)
It's actually neither bandwidth nor latency (alone). Its variability - the reason you can play a 4k video on YouTube smoothly is because of buffering, which smooths out dips in mbps. Stadia can't buffer for obvious reasons, meaning every frame has to be delivered with minimal latency.
Somewhere in between this and parent article (but leaning more to this) would be perfect. A little detail is good but these text walls of "A tall slim man he stood in the shade of a very old tree that was greener then an emerald as he took a drag on his cigarette and told me he had known Bob since childhood" get old fast.

Am I the only one that doesn't want a screenplay to read about a sequence of events? Or thinks that type of stuff is becoming far too common lately?
>I am of course assuming that he wouldn't be extradited to the US,

How can you make this assumption given that he was extradited for the exact reasons he mentioned?

"never end a sentence with a preposition" is not a grammatical feature of English (from a scientific perspective where "English" is what we observe as being spoken by the community of native speakers, as opposed to something grammar books invented), and does not serve to distinguish native from non-native English speakers, at all.

I don't think this was the sort of thing GP was thinking of.

Edit: I didn't even intend for the previous sentence to be an example of a native English speaker producing sentences that end with prepositions, but by happy coincidence it is.
That's why I use "." as the separator.

I still haven't figured out a way to disabled `debugger` statements in Web Developer Tools without disabling all breakpoints.

It's a pain when a site has heavily obfuscated code that constantly spawns anonymous functions that look like `function() { debugger; }`.
Light pollution is probably a bigger problem, except on the tallest mountains, or ironically, in orbit.

These astronomers seem to be obsessed with one guy, when there are way more than just his satellites up there. It makes me think it's more of a lobbying effort than a clear-sky thing.
Wherever there's people believing in absurdities there is a big business opportunity, and I would dare to say that nobody among those who make money out of this conspiracy theory actually believe the Earth is flat. They're just milking the cow.

The problem is: what if they one day add some mystic nonsense to their theory, morph into a cult, then become more powerful until they can "purchase" a religion status?
Sounds familiar?
It may seem stretched, but assuming they're there for the money, the above steps would be natural moves to gain more power, immunity etc.
is it just me? going to the website i can't seem to really find how you purchase games, hook this thing up or even what the benefit is.

The numbers would need to be very low to make that difference. There are other reasons to change your keyboard beyond defects: language adjustments. Here in Europe we have over 20 different languages with different keyboard layouts...

And in any case, even if it were a theoretical environmental gain - should the burdon for that lie on the consumer, who randomly looses her or his device, just so that every laptop is a tiny bit more efficient (and the effect would be really tiny)? Shouldn't in this case Apple carry the additional cost for repairs?
SkyNet is not good enough for binary classification yet, we're safe.
I know you said you don't want to purchase equipment and keep it up to date, but the progression of CPU's and GPU's has slowed drastically in the last decade. I easily get 5-6 years out of my gaming rigs now, and build them fairly well specced for $800-1000. Keeping current is significantly less hassle or cost than it was ~10 years ago.
I had problems with MS (Hotmail/Live/Outlook/whatever they're call it now) when I changed hosting provider which I traced back to the hosting provider owning an IP that had in the past been associated with spam (that for-real is what I was told) -- that seemed a bit over-zealous to me.

As it wasn't possible to pre-check IP addresses (it wasn't blacklisted, and in any case the email was being served from a different IP to the one that was apparently previously an issue) for any particular hosting company - and I could only afford cheap hosting - then I decided to relent and made an Outlook online account and sent the mail from that.

It seemed totally crazy to me to reject mail from a 15 year old domain that sent at most 30 emails to Outlook per month, _always_ in replay to an email; SPF/DMARC were set AFAIR and whitelisting the email address from within my own 20+yo hotmail account didn't make any difference, MS still wouldn't let _me_ receive the emails. Like if your user says the email address is fine, and sends an email to that address, .. then perhaps you should allow the user to receive that one email??
You can script this workflow quite easily on Linux using basic command line tools like python -m http.server, qrencode, and display. I'm surprised it's not a standard desktop tool with a GUI at this point. For Android, there's Share Via HTTP:

All it takes is someone turning on a microwave down the block from you to drop 4-5 packets in a row and you get close to the 100ms number.

Channel congestion in dense urban areas approaches the same limit, heck Ars was just talking about a technique today[1] that because it doesn't respect channel slots drops throughput of any router within 60m by 20%.

100-200ms is an upper bound, however they were reliably doing client-side latency prediction back in '96[2] over 300-400ms dial up connections with little fidelity loss including servers supporting 200+ concurrent players.

I'm sure there's a niche of people for which streaming is usable, however we would design games with latency in mind(and how we'd deal with it) as a part of fundamental mechanics of the game. Here they're just slapping them on a video stream and hoping it works.

This. I have been running my own mail server since UUCP bang paths and sendmail. I am slowly preparing to migrate to a containerized solution for exactly this reason. Managing the updates of all the parts going forward is just too heavy a load, while swapping in a new container is easy. The initial configuration is painful, just because there are so many options to decide on, but those decisions are all there anyway, whether you realize them on day one or not. I am planning to use this image[0].

Yes, but I can see myself considering streaming services when it's time to replace it.
I don't need a €2k+ machine most of the time. I could buy quite a few years of streaming service with the saved cash.
Okay, but using such a strict bar for campiness also invalidates the original claim. There are plenty of superhero renditions that don't qualify as campy that predate the recent wave and the technology that supposedly enabled it. (eg Burton's Batmans).
I personally don't see this happening in San Francisco, at least not with top-tier companies. The only workers I've seen leaving SF have moved to NYC for adventure, or moved back to China.

1) Atmosphere blocks parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, so not all telescopes on Earth will be on the level field with space-based ones.

2) Earth-based telescopes have to withstand gravity of 1g, while in space you can have some bigger structures.
I need to check that out! I've been watching WebRTC since 2011, excited to have some equivalent of a TCP socket. It took them SOOOOOOO long to add data channels.
