A large point of video games is escape. AR takes that away. Plus, most people’s spaces aren’t set up for a game. For example, I couldn’t play Minecraft: Earth in my apartment since there isn’t a good flat space.
> I've had nothing but bad luck with Docker for Mac. It's been super slow.

I'm not sure if this affects every Mac user.

I have a Docker course that has over 15,000+ people who signed up, of which a little less than half use MacOS and of that I've only had a handful of people mention really poor volume performance.

I don't have enough data points to know exactly what the cause is. It's definitely a legit problem and it does affect a decent amount of people because I've seen the posts in other places too, but I don't know how wide spread the problem really is. It might be some type of hardware / OS version / tech stack combo (some languages and frameworks require dealing with many more files than others).

I happen to use Docker for Windows and it's really really fast too for reference and I never had anyone mention slow volume performance in large apps. Native Linux is as good as it gets as well.

I hope one day the folks at Docker figure out why the performance is so bad for some Mac users.
I can't comment on Slavic false friends but I've found that for French-English, Spanish-English and French-Spanish, if you really force yourself into thinking the words in the correct accent, the "friendliness" disappears. As the two words are pronounced differently they are thought of as their own concepts, instead of related to each other. Say "Journey" vs "Journée", if pronounced correctly they don't sound anything similar at all. We should remember words as they are spoken with a strong accent. Maybe for false friends it would be even better to exaggerate the accent.

Thanks for dooming us all, hombre. I'm holding you personally responsible when it happens.

In fact I think it may already have. Took a look at a web based learning portal for my niece the other day, and after poking around in devtoolsfound it was pretty similar to what you described.

Humans are born and made.

We are humans in part through evolution. Concepts like fairness are actually hard-coded in us (cannot find a reference at the minute but I remember reading research on this) : we evolved to live in a group and we are sensitive about how work and benefits of work are shared in the group.

E.g. if we spent efforts and time growing crops we will 'naturally' object to giving the produce away or to share it with someone who didn't adequately contribute or who don't somehow help us in exchange.

There are also other evolved biological aspects at play like seeking our own survival and that of our offsprings over that of other, unrelated individuals. So we also 'naturally' have a tendency to self-interest (which extends to relatives).

All of these are directly relevant when attempting to create a socialist society.

You can presumably install whatever additional blockers you were using in a different browser in Brave if their built-in blocking (which I've found to be VERY effective) is not enough for you.

I answer this more specifically downthread, but:

Repeated meetings with Russia's propaganda arm is fairly conclusive evidence, especially considering Assange would be under no false impressions about the legitimacy of RT as a news organization. By the nature of his job he would know exactly what RT is and choosing to repeatedly work with them is quite damning evidence.

I may be wrong, but these add-ons seem shady to me. The website pointed to as the homepage is an add-ridden site that is supposedly a community for open-source development, but all the links to 'fork me on GitHub' don't go anywhere. I can't find the source at all. This topic comes up often but these have never been posted and the add-ons have relatively few users (4k, 1.5k, 2k and 0.7k).

I don't know anything about browser add-ons. Perhaps someone who does could take a look and see what's up?
I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding of the GPL is that the purpose isn't to retain ownership, it's to use ownership (granted under copyright laws) to ensure that the ideas can continue to spread.

The GPL doesn't prevent forks, it doesn't even prevent someone else profiting off the fork, it just requires that the fork can also be shared freely.

As someone who has a kid who is still too young to get certain vaccines (including Measles), I am terrified of going to crowded places.

Seriously, unvaccinated people represent a threat to my son. This is not like being a flat-earther where you spread misinformation but you don't really harm people in a meaningful way. By spreading anti-vaxx information you are indirectly killing babies, children and adults. It is in the interest of society to stop you from doing harm.
Slippery slopes. There are certain "theories" that irk me so that I'd be okay with them being arrested (almost). Flat earth believers are the top of the list.

It only seems not-hard for people that already understand them. Here's where the post shows just how simple monads can be.

> A monad is a data type (e.g. int) that encapsulates some control flow (e.g. try/catch).

But... I'm already lost. How would an integer "encapsulate" control flow? Like different integer values would represent different errors that could occur? Or you could use integers as a representation for a language that has try/catch as a feature? Even in this simplest case, if you don't already grok monads, it's somehow not illuminating for me. YMMV
Not all of the time. Way too much chance involved. But enough to make a profit on average.
I'm enjoying these "in a single file" projects. They aren't often the paragon of best-practices but they make it easy for newbies to peep in on the syntax and see how complex problems can be solved. They are also usually a lot easier to try out, compile and deploy.

Look up imposter syndrome. You've got it, I've got it, a lot of good devs have it.

As someone else mentioned, just being aware that you have skills at various points of competency and you want to be better puts you in a subset of developers that many others enjoy working with. I have personally found success with identifying distinct skills by looking at job postings and various taxonomies and then ranking myself on the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition for each, then choosing where I want to improve.

The number one thing I'll always value in a developer is attitude - bringing positive energy to the team and being willing to adapt and learn are incredibly understated and undervalued traits.

I've been using BuyVM for about six months, they're the only VPS provider I could find with anycast IP support which is a neat feature to have. I think they're a pretty small operation and in my experience, pretty much all of these low cost VPS providers will terminate if you go a few days overdue on the invoice.
Their behavior is leading directly to more deaths.

How is that not crazy / death cult?
From their FAQ:

"Publishers must verify ownership of their properties with Brave in order to receive contributions from Brave users. If a publisher has not verified ownership, then a user’s contributions will be held in reserve inside the browser for 90 days. The browser routinely updates an internal list of all verified publishers to determine whether a property can receive contributions. At the end of the 90 day period, any contributions marked for unverified publishers will be released back to the wallet. No funds leave the browser except to go to verified creators."
I don't think they can be compared. Brave profiles (well, Chrome profiles) are basically different browsers. They share nothing. They can have different settings, they can run a different set of addons, etc.
Haha, true. If Sundar ever decided to screw somebody and was willing to use all of Google's data without any care of the legal ramifications, that person would be broke and homeless within the hour. For a lot of people, probably in jail within a couple of days.
FPGAs are fundamentally a dataflow system. You have geographically distributed compute units, with reconfigurable routing. CPUs (obviously) work by bringing the data to a single fixed central processing unit. So the key question for all these software->FPGA tools, is how they handle this transformation. The problem is that often the way you layout your program is introducing implicit constraints that prevent optimization that aren't real but simply an artefact of how you write software.

The thing is, I don't believe that transformation is a solvable problem (not least because really clever people keep trying and keep releasing terrible attempts). In real life, people program GPUs using special constructs and instructions. Hell, they use special instructions for the vector operations on CPUs. So why are we pretending you can write generic code in languages designed for CPUs and have them run performantly on FPGA? What you end up with a tiny subset of the language that maps to already existing hardware languages with a little bit of syntactic sugar and a boat load of misunderstanding of the limitations.

IMO it misses the point. I don't want ads. Pay me for seeing ads may be better than just see ads but what I really want is no ads. For now I block them. This way I get to see nearly no ads. I can't get my head around why I would let some ads trough to earn some bucks. It totally missing the point.

What we really need is a way to pay for content so content creators can survive without ad revenue. The internet must transit to a market where people pay for goods and services just like on literally every other market. There is money and goods/serviced and they get exchanged. That's how it should be. Now we have ads and a third-party in between which severs itself plus another party the advertisers. Brave removes the third-party (kinda) but leaves the advertiser in the game. Why? No one needs them to be part of a goods/service <> money exchange.

There is an open W3C standard that can be used for micro-payments it's called ILP. Not bound to a currency. No token. No scaling problems because it tires to run everything "on the blockchain". It's just a protocol it can be used with any token or currency.And Payment providers must compete against each-other just like it should be in a healthy economy. (At time of writing there seem to be only one payment provider (Coil.com) but that's just because someone has to start.)
That is bullshit. Unless a trusted third party verifies this claim, it must be considered marketing lies and manipulation to encourage bandwagoning.
>it's paying the users first and then taking it from them in a secondary loop

I’m not sure what you mean… advertisers buy BAT to pay for ads and users get paid a percentage of the ad spend to view the ads if they wish.

Also, when Brave did the ICO for BAT, they raised $35 million in 30 seconds[1]. BAT's current market cap is over $265 million USD.[2]

physics is incomplete. It was niels bohr who said, “Physics is to be regarded not so much as the study of something a priori given, but rather as the development of methods of ordering and surveying human experience.” without including psi and cogent six sigma data from consciousness studies it is not complete, nor can it pancomputationally bc of godel. not to mention exceptional human experiences like OOBE and cosmic consciousness. mass and energy make up 5% of the observable universe. to account for the rest with massless particles and dimensionless points and other made up stuff shows the inherent contradiction and metaphysical bias of materialistic monism philosophically. ironic that the big bang is something from -nothing- which makes no sense: there is no such thing as absolute nothingness and the first receptor had to be nonphysical. see vernon neppe and ed close on iqnexus, reality begins with consciousness on brainvoyage, and interviews on new thinking allowed. also see bernardo kastrups works for a computer scientists arguments for idealism in the context of many scientific experiments and the loss of local realism.
That's fair, I was more wondering if there are actual stats on this kind of thing.

AR has been around since 1990. VR decades before so times ticking on what a fad is and you have to make a case why this decade AR will start?

Plus I did premise it on full AI to understand the world to augment. Technically we already augment with the 100 year old phone allowing us to talk to someone far away anywhere-ish.

Your case why in a decade we want AR which is a overlayed response and a camera that can analyse the world using real technology. What will it do? Sci Fiction movies struggle to come up with more than ads or more intrusive notifications ;) Magic Leap made beautiful whales that looked pretty, cost a fortune to produce and would have worked equally well in a movie which is how everyone viewed it, in a 2D advertisement. There was no reason to AR it even if you could afford to do it in the wild.

Most museums, a place of high structure and high value struggle to even create simple voice overlays of art work.

I believe the plan is to use BAT to pay for paywalled content and other premium features a site may have.
I also wonder about its legal consequences; If some creators decide to sue them for this issue then what would be the outcome? I don't think I am allowed to freely use some random contents without creator's explicit consent then give back some arbitrary amount of money in the current IP framework.
There will be always better ones, in different distances, same office, company, groups you hangout with or www. Why dont you think its an opportunity close to you?

Regulation can be necessary for some industries and contexts but, generally speaking, broadband is one market that will benefit consumers more with less government restriction.

The issues we currently have with so many areas having only one or two providers are a legacy hangover from earlier federal regulation of phone companies and broadcasters along with municipal intervention where cities granted an exclusive franchise to only one cable co. With disruptive new delivery systems from balloons and drones to LEO satellite constellations about to come online, now is not the time to be mandating pricing or offerings.

He spoke out against vaccines on Facebook, and suggested using papaya leaves and/or vitamin C instead. You don't have to be an anti-vaxxer or lack empathy to disagree with his being arrested for this.
That probably depends on how similar a given project is to projects done in the past. I suppose that a developer that does the same kind of thing (like Web CRUD apps) over and over would be able to accurately determine how long a new one would take, but if their work often varies in domain (a webapp, a compiler, a bootloader, a console emulator, a 3d screensaver, an email client, a sound editor, etc.), then I think not.

In other words, I think how accurately one can predict the time it takes depends on how repetitive the work is, and I don't think doing more repetitive work necessarily means that a programmer is better.
Even if they do that, it isn't right. They are removing ads and thus revenue from content creators. They have no right to do that and then skim some profit before paying out. And even if they did, they have no way of knowing if what they are paying is more or less than what the creator would have gotten had their content not been modified.
Interested if you can find that.

The record mentioned was my introduction to the War of the Worlds. I had a much older cousin who played this album at least once per day for months. As I grew older I read the story and the various adaptations of the story and it has always been a favorite of mine. I still have great memories of the music and the story as it was told by the album - the standouts to me are "the chances of anything coming from Mars is a million to one they said" and "OOOOOLAAAAAH". That album may be what tipped me towards science fiction as well now that I think about it.
Yeah, setting up the Uphold wallet was the main annoying part. For example, I tried to set it up on my PC but couldn't, because it required me to "take a selfie" and my PC doesn't have a camera.

It should all be set up now, and the Brave Creators site says that my payout is in the "Reviewing" stage, so we'll see how it goes from this point.
Also generic specialization-- which will allow generics over primitive types (and value types). That'd eliminate one major source of pain for performance-sensitive code (no more writing your own collection classes if you need to, for example, contain a bunch of ints).
> On the other hand, in the US freedom of speech would likely protect this person

I'm not so sure of that. You cannot yell "FIRE!" in a crowded American movie theater because of the danger it creates. The government in this case declared a state of emergency and this person ignored that emergency and instead fanned the anti-vaxx flames, which feels pretty similar to causing a stampede in a theater for no reason.

That seems like a cunning DA could argue reckless endangerment of a child to me...
