The problem I have with Stadia is that you need a monthly subscription and also need to pay full price for all games. Games that can't be sold on the second hand market, unlike the current console games. And at $129 it's not far off from the €200 I paid for my PS4 during Black Friday 2017. The TCO of the Stadia seems much higher than traditional consoles.

The upside is using it on a mobile device but to me this doesn't add value, as the network connection outside my house is either a high-latency 3G connection or someone else's unreliable WiFi. And with Remote Play on the PS4 I have similar capabilities.

People always bring up that it was out of date reactors that had issues. But a large number of the operating reactors in the world are these out of date models, and newer safer models are prohibitively expensive to build, are still unlikely to be 100% safe (what have humans ever built that never fails), and leaves the problem of nuclear waste.

It might be that nuclear power is a sensible choice (at least short term) in the face of climate change, but there are real risks and the claim that opposing nuclear power is akin to being a flat-earther is massive stretch.

I'd be interested in whether your position is that there will be no further nuclear accidents, or that the occurrence of future nuclear accidents is worth it.

http://newchromantics.com/ is my own little company, (website is criminally out of date) I did the tech, http://analogstudio.co.uk/ did the art/comp/post work.

The setup was essentially an app (c++ engine on osx running models), ingesting camera feeds, outputting skeletons, running sound->mouth poses, to unity which puppeteered 2D sprites.

On-set we output to a monitor which mixed the real shots with our graphics.

Nothing crazy! But it was a solid setup (except for overheating DSLRs)
The best they could do is enforce a constant latency equal to your worst-case actual latency, so at least it was consistent and you'd be able to compensate for it. (This was a thing that RTS games used to do, consistent mid-level latency feels way better than variable latency.)
The problem with unregulated US-style definition of "freedom of speech" is that this definition only works with (and it was designed with) the 17th to 20th century media model, with newspapers, radio stations and later-on TV stations as "gatekeepers" to ensure that extremism (no matter if it's Nazism, ordinary conspiracy theories or quackery such as MMS/homeopathy/antivaxx) doesn't get too much reach.

With the Internet, this gatekeeper model got turned on its head - and the village idiots peddling bullshit suddenly had a worldwide audience with Facebook and, even worse, discussion forums in where they radicalized each other. The results are known by now - measles have a happy time again "thanks" to anti-vaxxers, the US elected someone to Presidency who by all measures is unfit for this post, generally right-wing and racist rhetoric is spreading across the world, and world leaders reproduce conspiracy theories from the darkest corners of 4chan. In India, people have been lynched "thanks" to virally spreading lies. The Brexit "referendum" was only decided "thanks" to lies and propaganda of questionable financial origins.

Now, the problem is that at least in the US and in large parts of Western societies the law was way too slow to catch up to the threats that the Internet created/made possible. Some countries (e.g. China, North Korea, Iran, Russia) went full-on censorship mode, some like Germany (NetzDG) tried to catch up, and the US is all but incapable of doing anything with the Congressional gridlock. Which is the root cause of the problem that the article states... and it's bad news for the world, as countries will try their own way of "fixing" social media and overreaching as a result.

>[…] We're hoping to cover the transition in education from between Scratch and other tools such as Unity

This would be amazing. Every child want to make games, especially with a 'proper' engine like Unity (or maybe Godot, but I don't think that has as much street cred yet).

Going from either drag and drop in scratch, or very basic python to using a full game engine requires a lot, but if that can be crossed then I think there is a very clear motivation for students to start learning in the first place.
No mention that e-scooters usually lack brake power to be safe. Most only have a rear brake, which is much less efficient than a front brake for stopping, on any vehicle. But having a front brake on a scooter would be very unsafe as well, because it would be too easy to flip over the front wheel.

Conclusion: e-scooters cannot be made safe beyond 10mph/15kph.

Ever wondered why bicycles have large wheels?
Germany is using brown coal or lignite, too, which is a lot nastier in every respect than the black coal we more usually think of. It produces more air pollution of every kind including CO2 to generate the same amount of power. They're also gradually destroying one of their few remaining ancient forests to strip-mine the land beneath it for lignite.
Governments generally run electricity grids though. If V2G is wanted, it could simply be mandated.
Yeah considering people complain about game updates running 50Gb of traffic once every few months this is going to be a big issue for a lot of people.

Also I suspect this is not something that will sit on any CDNs due to the specialist nature so this is going to transit much further than the ISP's edge.

True, but something new isn't always something better, and isn't always worth waiting for. Aka 2016 - 2019 MBP 15".

Still better to learning a language that only works properly on Apple platforms, without any kind of eco-system for scientific computing.

I don't see Tensorflow-Swift going anywhere.
That's what we're trying to do and we're making good progress!

As our engine Construct 3 is written in HTML5 itself, Javascript was the natural language choice to integrate with our block system.

All languages have their up and downsides but we love Javascript and think it's suitable because it's used in many industries (not just making games) and is likely to have a growing demand going forwards. I think this is a much easier sell to education than other tools such as Gamemaker who use their own propitiatory language.
This comment is too good for a mere upvote.

I wrote this script[1] a while ago which creates an overlay and chroots into the overlays workdir. It's pretty useful, with it, you can do something like

> overlay-here

> make install (or ./wierd-application or 'npm install' or whatever)

> exit

and all changes made to the filesystem in that shell is written to the upperdir instead. So for example in the above example, the upperdir would contain files such as upperdir/usr/bin/app and upperdir/usr/include/header.h.

It's useful when

* You want to create a deb/rpm/tgz package, but a makefile does not have support for DESTDIR

* An application writes configuration files somewhere, but you don't know where

* An application would pollute your filesystem by writing files in random places, and you want to keep this application local to "this directory"

* In general when you want to know "which files does this application write to" without resorting to strace

* or when you want to isolate writes, but not reads, that an application does

It's interesting that this person is basically an extreme version of something that happens all the time in this industry.

I've seen so much premature optimisation / abstraction on virtually every project I've worked on.

The people that do this stuff are often very persuasive, and it can be hard to be the person who suggests the "dumb" alternative.

Often their arguments are actually correct, e.g. "we need to do this thing to make it more maintainable / scalable", it's just that in so many cases, the project is never going to be maintained or scaled.
Actually, chunky salsa problem for people aside, why couldn't this technology be used for sweeping out space trash? Maybe waste management or Rumpky could make a deal.

It costs 100s of millions of dollars to animate and market a feature Pixar film. It would be very penny-wise/pound-foolish to try to skimp on voice-acting.

I’m still researching, but I got the impression that buildah from Redhat can do this.
The Powermac G3 and G4 towers were awesome. Just pull a lever and the side drops down. Everything is nice, neat, and accessible. The G5 towers were similarly functional and very nice as well, and the early Mac Pro towers were obviously based on the same design. It should also be noted that the old beige PowerMacs were no worse than PCs of similar vintage.

There seems to have been a large cultural shift at Apple toward extreme form-over-function around the time of the intel transition. I still have to deal with Macs because my wife uses them, and they've only been getting worse. Personally, I've been on PCs running Linux for several years now.
I don't think people like having multiple computers, and since they need portability, they want a beefy laptop. I personally hate spending time on all the incidental configuration that having multiple computers entails; keeping them up to date, making sure that all your settings are sync'd, and the inevitable configuration that isn't in easily git-able config files that you have to perform manually each time.

I also find it to be a pain in the ass to unplug and plug laptops in to docking stations; you get up for a meeting, none of your windows are where you left them when you get back. So I just use an iPad and ssh to where I need to work. This doesn't work for everyone, but since I mostly only use a web browser and a tmux session, it works fine for me. And thus, I don't have to deal with configuring multiple computers or carrying around a heavy laptop. Great when you travel; it's hard to say "no computer this trip!" and the iPad fills the gap nicely. If you are travelling for work, there will be a computer with an ssh client on it for you when you arrive. If you are travelling for fun, you probably don't want to spend a ton of time on the computer, but it's nice to be able to watch a movie in your hotel room or peruse an ebook before bed. So I just have a very powerful workstation and a very underpowered non-laptop, and get what I think the best of both worlds is.

But many people really like having the same setup at home, at work, and when travelling, and for those people, the beefy laptop seems like the right solution. (They probably also use programs that were developed after 1980, and need the GUI anyway. I think I would be stuck if I needed to use Fusion 360 or lay out a PCB while out and about with my iPad. But it's never come up for me.)

(My experience is based on my 2015 Macbook that I had at work. It didn't have a docking station, so every meeting that you took it to involved unplugging at least 4 cables; power, USB hub, 2 monitors. OS X appeared to be worse than Linux at handling displays going away, so it was always a major undertaking for something that should not be a major undertaking. I'm not really a Mac person, though, so maybe I was doing it wrong.

My personal laptop was a Surface Pro. I never used it except when travelling, so whenever I arrived at my destination it would turn on and say "hey you haven't updated me for like 3 months, this is a major crisis and I am going to freak out until updates are installed. This requires 1TB of data and 12 hours. Have fun! Oh by the way, all your settings are gone now and if you change them, I will also change them for you on your desktop at home when you log back in! Fun stuff! Value add! Innovation!"

No more.)

>What is the idea or purpose of TL;DR and TL;DW by the way? Both basically mean summary, so it is not that there is a new meaning that we needed to express somehow. It still catched on.

Slang is usually not about new meaning, it's about new 'nuance'.

Either making the same meaning fresher (by using a more modern term, which will get out of fashion after some time), or conveying an added nuance about the same meaning (the same way "Yes, I'd like to" and "fuck yeah!" mean the same thing as answer to the question "Should we go to the beach", but give it difference nuance, e.g. excitement).

You can use a btrfs subvolume for the build location, and take snapshots at all rollback points. This is fast. Basically, you create an r/w snapshot at first that will evolve the current batch's "common" overlay.

Proceed by making another r/w snapshot for the/each subprocess.

Just work inside that folder (which behaves ~like a CoW bind-mount) and copy the artifacts into the "common" snapshot.

btrfs sub del -c path/to/temp/build/snapshot

will clean it up and ensure it won't reappear after a crash. You can skip the -c if you don't care about it reappearing.

If you have enough space to handle up to maybe a couple minutes delay in garbage collecting, you don't need to force any special syncing or such, as it just happens in the background.

As for the phases, I don't think this is a problem. btrfs snapshots are like git branches that don't allow merging, leaving explicit copy as the only recourse.
> I know of people who will regularly contact 5-10 banks with their current mortgage details and ask for a better deal, and then go back to their current bank and tell them "match this offer or I'm switching".

That's common in the US and has nothing to do with ACH in any way. That's a transaction where you likely would not use ACH at all and would use a wire transfer.

> Is there any US bank that offer a similar fee structure?

Yes, there are many. One of my banks, Capital One, calls this "Overdraft Line of Credit" and the current interest rate is 12.75%. They also offer "Next Day Grace" where you have a day to cover the overdraft and "Free Savings Transfer" where they just transfer money from your savings account as options as well to avoid overdraft fees.

Absolutely. Internal combustion engines are extremely inefficient. The idea of hybrids like the Prius is that they try to run the engine as much as possible at its most efficient level (or least inefficient, more accurately) to reduce that waste, but offloading it to more optimised power plants will do much more.
Just because another profession is worse off doesn't mean it does not deserve sympathy imo. Why not hope for both professions' working conditions to improve ?

I also carry a mechanical keyboard around, and one of the ways I deal with this is to type for a few minutes and then sent out a message on the office chat to ask if it's bothering anyone and emphasizing that I'll stop if it's even the slightest bit annoying.

For anyone who hasn't ever read the Dresden Files, it is a fantasy series set in modern Chicago with a young wizard way in over his head. The series starts off kinda bleh with the first few books, but steadily picks up pace as the main character gets more involved with all the crazy things going on. The author puts basically every single (ok a lot) of diverse mythologies as if it is all real (Odin, Mab, Erlking, Skinwalkers, Trolls, the Fae, Necromancers, 4 different kinds of Vampires, Roman Gods, the White God, Angels, Demons, Lucifer, Dragons, Cthulhu, and about a dozen other bad and good things all with a single coherant plot. The main character starts to see that all of these major supernatural entities are moving their armies like 3D chess. The characters take some time to develop, but are seriously good.

Some solutions are easier to express recursively than iteratively--especially in the graph/tree space. Filesystem? Tree. XML/JSON? Tree. Relational database? Graph w/ underlying tree implementation. State machine? Graph.

As for immutability, consider how in languages like javascript, some mental accounting has to take place over what is passed by reference, and what is passed by value. Any error in this accounting can cause big problems. A pure-functional approach really cuts that problem down to size. New values are returned, and parameters are unchanged.
