Yes, the trick could be choosing the target to optimize. I once had an online chess adversary that seemed strong but who appeared to be losing to me in complications, I even briefly considered an idea he was doing it on purpose to gift some entertainment and fun to his opponents. An AI targeted to do something creative and challenging and at the same time not trying to abuse its obvious advantages could be fun to play against.
I use an app named "Handshaker" between Android and Mac. Its works pretty well.
WireGuard is a VPN, and Nebula is an overlay network (also known as a service mesh). They are closely related concepts.

VPNs are primarily used for remote access, to get random machines access to closed IP networks. Service meshes synthesize a new network (sometimes IP, sometimes something else) to connect a bunch of related machines, almost always with policy controls for who can talk to what, usually cryptographic.

It would be weird (but not "wrong") to use a service mesh to get developer laptops access to staging Postgres.

It would be weird (but not "wrong") to use WireGuard to connect an application server to its Postgres instance.

WireGuard is a much tighter and more limited design, intended for integration directly into operating system kernels, with a strong emphasis on performance. Nebula is a much more ambitious design; it includes direct DNS support, certificates, and server infrastructure. WireGuard is a few thousand lines of very carefully written C code; Nebula is a typical Go project.

They're both very cool.
It's more of a way of showing off that they are above the rules. It won't be used to hammer them in the press, and Twitter is unlikely to ban them for it.
Plus the cost of the game, purchased outright doesn't make sense to me either. I wanna be able to pay by the hour.

Make barrier of entry like $20 with subsidised controller and then millions will jump in.
I would think ≫99% of users would forever keep it switched “on”, and of those, many would think their phone broke down if they accidentally switched it “off”.

⇒ yes, it is out of the question, even though some fraction of users would like to have it.
The irony of you talking about relating to other human beings is staggering, given your unwarranted condescension.

I didn’t just chose here because it was cheap - I went for quality of life. Friendly locals, good food, sunshine, nature, and a generally laid back culture. I spent two years after quitting wandering the earth, weighing up options, seeing how other people live, broadening my horizons. Because I’m not spending money to make money and have no fixed calendar, I can go travel when everyone else is at school or work, meet up with friends, meet new people, experience new cultures. You can see a lot of planet for a little money, if you have time - I’ve driven the length of the Americas, from Ushuaia to Anchorage, the breadth of Eurasia, from London to Singapore, and down the west coast of Africa - and oh boy do I meander.

In these past few years I’ve written two novels, dozens of shorts, and I’m about to be (not self) published. In the last few months I’ve installed solar energy, built a dam, installed hydro energy, run plumbing, installed hot and cold running water, and inbetween I’ve found the time to go crayfish fishing and mushrooming with the locals. Sitting on the riverbank boiling up dinner you just caught and foraged with a bunch of other humans is the epitome of human interaction.

Being a cubicle jerk isn’t interaction, it’s a facsimile of interaction, divorced from human meaning, with a mechanistic ersatz set of values imposed by a group delusion.

I bought into it for too long - and only now am I beginning to realise my potential.
> It can be hard to appreciate the simplicity of PHP when one's fully bought into the stockholm syndrome of another language/framework :)

I used to use PHP and I haven't touched Node.js in quite some time as I've been playing with Rust/(Rocket, Actix Web) and Go's standard lib. So... :)

> Consider this: a hello world in PHP requires no knowledge of programming whatsoever: a file saying "hello world" is enough to get the text to show on a browser

This does not happen with "no knowledge" unless you suppose that copying and pasting arbitrary lines into a command prompt is "no knowledge" (that Apache server isn't going to install and start itself). And if that's allowed then suddenly there's lots of things you can do that require "no knowledge" as even a few lines of JS spewed into an index.js file via cat can get you easy file content streaming and 404 handling without need for a reverse proxy.

> the latest Next.js today is beyond abysmal in comparison

I don't know about Next.js; I've never used it nor does it look like something I'd want to use. I also don't understand why we're comparing Next.js to PHP when the equivalent would be some Drupal-as-a-Service or similar.
>YouTube's "Up Next" recommendations do (significantly) better than random, therefore "Today ML can solve some problems".

IMO YT AI is the opposite of intelligent , it still recommends things I disliked. for some reason this basic rule of not showing something that I explicitly disliked was to hard for it to learn, I am wondering if it is truly an AI behind it or just statistics
I mean at least these fools aren't spreading polio. So have at it.

>a flat-Earth conference is invariably also a gathering of anti-vaxxers, 9/11 truthers and Illuminati subscribers, to name a few.

oh. Scratch that I guess.
Last I saw, Google had something like 7,000 edge nodes in ISPs running Stadia servers specifically for this problem. Instead of running the games in big G's big datacenters, they'd be more likely running significantly closer, more like your nearest ISP.

Some people have recommended using GCPing to estimate a worst-case latency (since that pings one of their ~20 data centers instead of the edge nodes they set up), but even then I'm seeing avg ~20ms on refresh. I'd expect a Stadia server significantly closer than one a full state away (Missouri to Iowa) would run faster than that.

I don't think this will make things any better for anyone living in the Last Mile, but those of us in the city (especially big cities) should see huge improvements over previous services like OnLive that didn't implement something like this.
It's actually quite a bit easier to learn since it has few false friends with Latin languages. I often thought search engines written by English speakers focused on bags of words can't work very well in Turkish though?
"Basically we're inefficient from basically every direction in the USA"

This, and so much this. And I don't always understand this. To use the example here, billing codes: I'd think this is something that could be standardized - and being such, pricing would need to be standardized. I truly don't understand why this isn't coded into law.

The negotiation gets me as well - it means that no one can tell you a price. In a more perfect world, there would just be a price, and you could simply get the price from the hospital and it would be illegal for the hospitals to charge one price for cash patients and another for those with insurance.
I thought most companies consider executive level VP and higher, going from manager to VP is a big jump.

If its a startup probably nothing. I don't think a bigger company would jump you this many levels.
I agree with those examples and they annoyed me, but I think they were done to save time more than anything, which is a product of having to shove so much material into a movie that serves as a culmination for twenty-one other movies.

Still, it's a fair criticism of superhero movies, and Star Wars.
I didn't mean to make it sound incidental although I do see your point. Just wanted to chime in with how important having a labeled dataset is for a successful ML project.
a real law would be based on measurement, not perception.
It is an incinerator with a fancy roof.
Multiple orders of magnitude? Do the rockets/engines today look anywhere close even to a single order or magnitude better than before?

The computers are much better yes, but not good enough yet to obviate the need for real engine testing and wind tunnels for aerodynamics. Computers in the 70s were already capable of landing autonomously on other planets - as demonstrated multiple times.
I guess that would be .tk
Assange is being prosecuted for his journalistic activities, while the news media that happily profited by republishing WikiLeaks material sits by, hardly raising any objection. That's the really shameful aspect of this entire drama. You'd think they'd be raising all hell right now in order to protect the freedom of the press.
it should have been called 'How to implement Enum in Javascript'
The wikipedia article you linked doesn't actually reference any supposed solar furnaces capable of reaching or exceeding 1000 celsius. Even the project linked in the 1000 celsius bullet point states it only reaches approximately 500 celsius on its own wikipedia page (and at the project's own website).

Note, importantly, as with all things scale matters. There are solar furnaces the size of a pot that have reached 3000 celsius or more. This is not very useful for industrial scale activities.

Presumably one of the breakthroughs is that Heliogen can achieve 1000 celsius at an industrial scale which is not something that appears to have been done before with purely solar energy.
That's been my experience. I've been running a server since 2012. I've had more problem with incoming mail - specifically being unable to whitelist certain Yahoo servers which get killed by SORB and other spam trackers - than with sending email.
It suggests that's possible, but we know that's possible already.

The hard part of plastics recycling which is already being done at various scales is isolating the plastic. How do you get foodstuffs out of plastic containers? How do you separate the components of waste, basically?

It's like cleaning metal by burning off everything that burns until all you have is metal. You're just moving the waste from one place to another.

In this case, the gasses are getting into the atmosphere just like they would at a traditional incinerating waste facility and there are lots of those already. They are not a good solution for the long term.

When people are being "coy" about something as the article indicates, there's usually a reason. In this case, I think it's because the solution solves the problem, but not better than existing technology and they don't want that to be revealed to the open market that would tear it apart.

I find brown or grey noise to be better - I prefer the 'deeper' aspect to it. white/pink is too tinny for my ears.
Electron is not the browser - it's node.js + HTML DOM - I get what you are trying to say but being electron based doesn't really buy you anything in the scenarios you listed, native UI IDEs can and do use SSH filesystem and language servers in a same way VS code does (for example both those features exist in visual studio proper, and work even more reliably imo)
We have a few of these plastic ski slopes in the UK and I have to say on a cold, wet winter evening - which is often when people visit them, getting a bit of practice in for a ski holiday in the Alps - they can be bloody miserable. And from experience falling over on one I can testify that plastic has a lot less give in it than snow.

Now: an artificial outdoor slope with real snow running from say 2500m down to 1500m, that could be interesting, but would also require the tallest structure on earth.
It's nearly always a badly set reverse dns vs mail server helo name difference.
I’m willing to bet the overwhelming majority of white collar crime goes undetected.

Detection is probably difficult, and the agencies charged with investigating and prosecuting are likely over worked.
Nice to see this implementation. Would be nice to see this as an in the box option in a future Rust release, but totally understand that there are other, higher priorities.
> Is there a difference between playing in Chromecast vs playing in Chrome browser? And why do you need a controller at all if you're just playing desktop games?

Playing on Chromecast is for playing on TV. Chrome is for playing on PC.

You need a controller presumably because you need a way to provide input if you're playing on TV. On PC you can use keyboard and mouse but Chromecast doesn't have a way to connect to keyboard and mouse as far as I know
> the social networking site everyone you know is on

As for Facebook the site, this is less and less true. I have kids cross different age ranges, and Facebook is not a thing at all for any of them or their social groups. And whenever someone wants to organize things via Facebook, there is always a lot of pushback from people who don't/won't use it.

Their other properties, Whatsapp and Instagram, are very popular, but they serve slightly different functions. So either there is a vacuum left from Facebook (the site), or the market has simply shifted and no longer wants a MySpace/Facebook type platform.
Most websites don't run well on even high end hardware. There's most certainly a performance tradeoff using a browser, especially for something as performance sensitive as a game.
Latin is the most powerful natural language I know.

The key phrase is "I know". Latin is not the only one.

As much as you may like this feature, being inflected marks marks Latin as a primitive language, not a sophisticated one. The reason is that it is easy for a language to lose grammatical rules, but very hard to gain them. By this measure French is more modern than Latin because it is no longer inflected, and English is more modern than French because it has lost gender.

In a real sense, Chinese is the direction that all languages are heading. In English we still conjugate differently depending on how many, past/present/future, and so on. These are all vestiges of an inflected past. Chinese doesn't do that.
Doesn't "lingering" have a connotation of "lasting longer than it should" when associated with a negative aspect?

E.g. "lingering pain", "lingering stench".
I seriously don't understand this argument. It really reads to me that you're saying "because of DoH, entities that can run arbitrary code on my machine where that code can talk to the network can now look up hostnames whether I want them to or not". But entities that can run arbitrary network-connected code on your machine have always been able to do that, and if you have that problem, you have bigger problems than name lookups.
Yes, but the Odeillo target is 40 cm in size...which is fundamentally too small for industrial-scale heating.

Heliogen isn't getting anywhere near that temperature...but it is apparently getting to industrially-useful temperatures at industrially-useful sized targets at financially-feasible costs.
For the same reason I use a combination of transit, Ubers, and rental cars to get a far better experience than car owners at a fraction of the cost. For the same reason that the average person gave up horses and large plots of land and indoor woodfires for heating and cooking: if something is horribly inefficient and costly relative to an alternative, eventually society stops subsidizing it, and the only ones left doing it are the highly irrational or the highly passionate (compare horse ownership 150 years ago to now).

There are obviously advantages to owning a car that transport-as-a-service doesn't offer, but the point is that once an alternative is available that's better from a global utility perspective, it doesn't make any sense to subsidize the costly decisions of the irrational (barring interest groups that we as a society choose to explicitly subsidize, like families or the disabled).
You may want to look at Spore, if you haven't already.
how does a hearing aid correct for tinnitis?

I have permanent though currently modest hearing damage and persistent tinnitis of several different sounds at the same time.

it's clear I'm going to have a hearing aid in the coming years as my dad does also, even though unlike me, and he was not a drummer that stood next to speakers in clubs, but he doesn't have the tinnitus.
Many years ago there was an article in the Economist about the global ubiquity of English. Apart from the political history of the British Empire and American hegemony, one of the broad reasons for its success was that no one really cares if you speak it poorly.
> ? Which of those aren't provided by edk2?

What does that have to do with anything?

Your argument was that the description was not descriptive but it was. So your point was wrong and made no sense.

Then you start ranting about coreboot. So clearly your argument was not about the description, you just wanted to shit on coreboot.

And just btw, building a whole new OS to put under your OS is nonsense from pretty much every perspective.
Humans are great at finding "patterns" in random noise.
Euro English is one example I can think of. The semantic shifts can make the language more ambiguous when used between different groups of speakers.

One of those things is decidedly not like the others.

You'd be surprised how better internet can be outside of USA. My LTE can probably keep up four 4K streams going.
Or leaving because they’re really good in their field and can work remotely for their job of choice. Seems to be a natural path for senior devs that care more about their craft than the Valley startup ecosystem
I'm somewhat confused why the author didn't use bind variables since as far as I know the standard PostgreSQL adapters fully support them. Even if you trust that quote_string() will never have a vulnerability it's safer to not use string interpolation at all and it doesn't cost you anything.
In my 50-year career in IT, I have noticed a positive correlation between success and skill at analysis, and training in Latin.

I was forced to study Latin for six years (plus two years of classical Greek τα ζωα τρεχει). I was not interested at the time, and did not fully benefit from the discipline that was imposed on me. I wish I had paid more attention.
The jobs may be spreading out but the compensation sure hasn’t been. The best paying jobs with the most interesting, cutting-edge work are still located in just a few cities. I keep hoping some more opportunities will appear in the southeast near my family, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, so for the time being I will be staying in the Bay Area.
Owning a property is generally a better financial move because it locks down what is usually your largest monthly expense and then after some years, its paid for. This really becomes a bigger issue when you want to retire. Think how much less of a retirement income you would need if you didn't have to pay rent.
Oh, indeed. I wasn't aware of that:

Either way most don’t have trauma centers, in SF I think only SF General is the only level 1 trauma center although some of the people also rotate through UCSF’s ED.
This is a really powerful feature. Combined with metaphone/soundex you can have a nice lightweight fuzzy+phonetic search using vanilla postgres.
This, and exactly this. NP's are great for the run-of-the-mill sicknesses and minor injuries that most adults and children get. In conjunction with a PCP, they provide excellent primary care even for more complicated patients.

In addition, specialist nurses are a great addition to a specialist's team. I don't see a neurologist all that often, but I have checkups with one of the team of wonderful nurses at the office, some of which specialize in the disease I have. It works out wonderfully and allows the specialist to take care of more patients and still provide pretty wonderful service.

> Ouch, forced to use Facebook for work... Thats rough...

Yeah the worst part is that I can't tell my boss to screw off because it's my company :D We do some customer support on Facebook because so many of our users are there, otherwise I wouldn't be touching it with a 12 foot pole either.
Possibly.

Supercritical CO2 also has some play in this space, since you can dissolve different products by adjusting the temperature or pressure.

Because xyz-as-a-service is anti-consumer. Unless you've been under a rock the past decade, there are many flaws with the model when it comes to consumers. It's great for business. Terrible for the user. As-a-service puts the consumer at the mercy of a company. Along with their privacy data. Steam at least is setup in a way where if they were to end, the games you have can be downloaded and unlocked. Just make sure to back it up. Stadia isn't setup for anything like that at all. If google put Reader out to pasture, something that cost them jack-dick-all to keep running, something as expensive to maintain as Stadia when it flops... "Oh, sorry, it didn't work out. Sucks for all of you."

Just because you can't see how a trap will be sprung, doesn't mean the trap doesn't exist. This will bite people in the ass a year or two down the road. Then everyone will cry, "How could this happen? We need legislation to protect us!" No, you just need to be quit being a baby and start being an adult and understand that minor comfort and convenience can come at a heavy cost.
Well, obviously. This isn't something you turn off overnight if the alternative infrastructure doesn't yet support it. But you could make the same argument if pretending it's a necessity about any of a million things that don't exist in modern society today. If your definition of what you're entitled to is no different from the status quo, you're barely even coherently engaging with conversations about how society can and should evolve, improve, or maintain its normz and policies.
> The only part that stumps me is why you need pay $130 for a controller and a Chromecast with "special" software on it. Isn't the whole premise that you don't need dedicated hardware to play games?

It's only for early adopters. They said they want to limit availability until a wider release in early 2020 (where you won't have to pay for anything at all except the game if you want).
